Latisse is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or not having enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and thicker.
Does Latisse really work?
Yes, when used daily it absolutely does work to enhance your lashes. 78% of Latisse patients had a significant increase in overall prominence including elements of length, fullness and darkness. Although most Latisse patients see results at 4 to 8 weeks, maximum eyelash length will be visible at week 16.
Is Latisse safe to use?
Latisse is safe to use as long as you have healthy eyes (i.e., no glaucoma or infections). If you are unsure of the health of your eyes it is best to see your doctor before getting a prescription but if you answer no to the following questions in general you should be safe to use Latisse.
*Do you have an active eye infection?
*Have you ever been diagnosed with elevated intra ocular pressure or glaucoma?
*Any broken or irritated skin on eyelid?
*Any history of prior discoloration on the eyelids?
*Any history of loss of hair in eyelashes or eyebrows?
*Any history of shingles/zoster around the eyes?
How much does Latisse Cost?
You can expect to pay $130 for 6 week and $160 for a 12 week supply of Latisse. This is not cheap so to make your supply last longer we recommend using your own tiny eyeliner brush.

Where can I get Latisse?
Your local medspa or dermatologist can prescribe Latisse for you, and most carry it in their office.
Can Latisse be used on the Eye Brows?
Yes! Latisse can be used to can help fill in sparse eyebrows. You can use what’s left on the brush after you do your upper lashes.
Is it true that Latisse can change the color of my eyes?
There is a slight possibility but to truly understand this risk you need to understand that Latisse was developed from a prescription drug to treat Glaucoma called Lumigan, which is placed directly into the eye. In the original Lumigan FDA clinical trials, there was a 1% incidence of hyperpigmentation (darkening) of the eye itself, especially for patients with hazel or light brown eyes. Latisse is placed along your lash line which reduces the risk but if you start to see any change stop using the product immediately. To date there have been NO REPORTED CASES of any eye color change with Latisse.
How is it best to use Latisse?
In order to get the most bang for your buck out of your bottle of Latisse, we suggest using the product slightly differently than outlined by the manufacturer. Patients can drop 1 drop of Latisse at night directly onto a very tiny eyeliner brush and apply it to upper eyelashes only, like you would eyeliner. It should feel just slightly wet and normally 1 drop is enough to cover both eyes. Make sure the Latisse is dry before rolling around on the pillow and be sure to clean the brush well between uses and let it dry for sanitation purposes.
Once I achieve the length and thickness I want how should I use Latisse?
Once your lashes are the length and thickness you want you can start using Latisse every-other-night, instead of every night.

If you are looking for a safe and effective product for the treatment of inadequate lashes then Latisse is you answer. Be diligent with your daily use, be patient and you will have long beautiful lashes before you know it. Visit us at the Laser Image Company for any questions.
