Grow Longer, Thicker Lashes Naturally
with New FDA Approved Drug
Finally there is a way to grow your own eyelashes, naturally. A new drug called Latisse has been introduced to solve this age-old problem. Made by the Allergan company, this drug is clinically proven to grow longer and thicker lashes.
Lashes 25% longer,106% thicker and 18% darker were reported at the end of a 16 week study, using Latisse. Applied to the upper eyelid only, changes were noted at the 8 week mark. With these numbers Latisse sounds like a mascara advertisement!
The clinical trial consisted of 280 members. 1/2 used the drug for 16 weeks. They applied the drug to the upper eyelid only. Latisse is not recommended for use on the lower eyelids. Latisse was well tolerated by the participates.
Latisse will not be an over- the- counter medicine. Cosmetic use will not covered by medical insurance. Medical conditions such as hypotrichosis, would probably be covered by insurance. It will cost about $120.00 for a 30 day supply, with 60 single use applicators.
Side effects were noted during the study. 3.6% of the members experienced eye itching. Permanent darkening of the iris and eyelid are also possible side effects. Although no one in the study reported these effects. Green and Hazel eyes could be at risk for these complications.
Allergan is the company introduced Botox to the world. While developing a drug for glaucoma, called Lumigan, researchers found the group using the new drug had dramatic growth of their eyelashes. The active ingredient identified to cause eyelash growth is called Bimatoprost. Allergan then created Latisse to take advantage of this effect. Some those who used Lumigan experienced a darkening of their iris and eyelids. Because Latisse uses 5% of this active ingredient, applied to the eye lash and not in the eye, these side effects are not expected. Lumigan is placed into the eye.
The life cycle of a normal eye lash follicle is 4 to 5 months, so when you stop using the drug, gradual lash length will be reduced, as lashes fall out and they are replaced by normal lashes.
Latisse permits you to grow your own lashes thicker and longer. You won't ever have to be bothered with false eyelashes or extensions again! FDA approved- Latisse.

Is it really natural when you are applying a DRUG??? This product is ridiculously overpriced... I have been using Revitalash and have lush lashes, but when I heard about latise I decided to check it out, but the price was outrageous... I also heard it is uncomfortable and irritates the eye... AND what a pain in the butt to go to your doc for a prescription drug... What person has the time/money to go through this???
ReplyDeleteI have had good success with Latisse so far. It is the same drug that has been used for years to treat glaucoma. That’s where they came up with the idea. The advantage of Latisse over extension is that it is your real lashes. Since this product is new it will be interesting to see how often application is needed once the full effect has occurred.
