LATISSE®

LATISSE® solution is the first and only FDA approved treatment for thinning or inadequate eyelashes that actually grows lashes longer, thicker and darker. There has been growing interest in this product since it was introduced because it is the only growth product of its kind available by prescription, so you'll need to speak to one of our doctors to find out if LATISSE® is right for you.

How to use LATISSE®

LATISSE® solution is a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, as instructed by your doctor. Then, gradually, the results come in. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks. This growth is your actual eyelashes - only better.

How Does LATISSE® Work?

LATISSE® makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth phase (anagen) of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.

Is LATISSE® safe?

Although LATISSE® is a treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader and pioneer in eye care, dermatology and medical esthetic products with over 60 years of experience and over 1.5 million LATISSE® kits sold since December 2008.
