LATISSE® Prescription Treatment for Inadequate Eyelashes
See why it's so popular & hear what Brook Shields says
LATISSE® solution (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.
Great eyelashes don't
just happen overnight. That's why it's important to note that LATISSE®
(bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% works gradually and
remarkably — with full results after 12 to 16 weeks.
LATISSE® works from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you'll begin to see changes in length, thickness and darkness gradually. After week 16, you'll see the full effect of LATISSE® — and so will others.
Once you begin treatment,
you must continue applying the topical solution each night and follow the
directions for best results. Remember results are gradual over time.
If you stop using LATISSE®,
your eyelashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several
weeks to months.
LATISSE® has been studied in clinical trials to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness. To see more results or learn more, visit www.latisse.com.
Q&A on LATISSE®
What is hypotrichosos of the
eyelashes?
Hypotrichosis is another name
for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.
How does LATISSE® work?
LATISSE® is
believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase 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. The exact way it works is unknown.
How do I apply LATISSE®? LATISSE® solution
is a once-a-day treatment you apply yourself each evening to the base of the
upper eyelashes. DO NOT APPLY in
your eye or to the lower lid because excess hair growth outside the treatment
area may occur.
How soon will I see results?
LATISSE® users may
see results at 8 weeks with full results at 12 to 16 weeks. The growth is
gradual overnight, over time.
Is LATISSE® a replacement for
mascara?
No, LATISSE® does
not work in place of mascara. LATISSE® is a solution treatment for
inadequate or not enough lashes and requires a prescription from a doctor.
However, mascara can be used on your eyelashes in addition to LATISSE®.
Is LATISSE® (bimatoprost
ophthalmic solution) 0.03% different from nonprescription products that
indicate eyelash growth? LATISSE® solution is the first and
only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or not having
enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.
Important Safety Information

DO NOT APPLY to the lower eyelid. If you have a history of abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP), you should only use LATISSE® under the close supervision of your physician. LATISSE® use may cause darkening of the eyelid skin which may be reversible. Although not reported in clinical studies, LATISSE™ use may also cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely to be permanent. You should tell your physician you are using LATISSE® especially if you have a history of eye pressure problems. You should also tell anyone conducting an eye pressure screening that you are using LATISSE®. The most common side effects after using LATISSE® solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. This was reported in approximately 4% of patients. 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.
