What is hypotrichosis 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™ is a once-a-day treatment you apply yourself each evening to the base of the upper eyelashes. Our staff will instruct you during the evaluation how to apply LATISSE™ properly.
How soon will I see results?
LATISSE™ users may see results starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks. The growth is gradual overnight, over time.
 
Is LATISSE™ a replacement for mascara?
No, LATISSE™ does not work in place of mascara. However, mascara is a nice complement to LATISSE™ to help make your new longer eyelashes look even more attractive.
Is LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% different from nonprescription products that indicate eyelash growth?

What if I forget to apply one night? Or a few nights?
If you miss an application or a few, don't try to catch up. Just apply the LATISSE™ treatment the next evening and stay on schedule.
What happens if I stop using LATISSE™?
If you stop using LATISSE™, your eyelashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.

These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids.

What is skin hyperpigmentation?
This is a common, usually harmless condition in which areas of skin become darker than the surrounding skin color.
