Latisse solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker.
Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.

How does it work?
Latisse is believed to prolong the anagen phase (active growth phase). The exact way it works is unknown.

How soon will I see results?
The onset of effect with Latisse solution is gradual. In the clinical trial, the majority of Latisse users saw significant improvement by 2 months.

Only Latisse has been approved by the FDA as a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes.

The most common side effects after using Latisse are eye itching or eye redness. These were reported by about 4% of patients in the clinical trials. Latisse solution may cause other less common side effects, which typically occur on the skin close to where Latisse is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness, or redness of the eyelids.

If you develop a new eye condition (eg, eye trauma), experience a sudden decrease in vision, have eye surgery, or develop any reactions, particularly an infected eyelid reaction, you should immediately talk to your doctor about whether or not to continue using Latisse solution.

As a precaution, it's recommended that you remove your contact lenses because they can absorb an ingredient in Latisse solution. You can put them back in 15 minutes after application.

If you miss a dose, don't try to "catch up". Just apply Latisse the next evening. Make Latisse solution part of your evening routine, like brushing your teeth or removing your makeup. Using Latisse more than once a day will not increase the growth of eyelashes more than daily use.

It is not expected to cause harm. Don't rinse your eye.
