"My eyelashes got
so long, the tips of my lashes hit the lenses in my sunglasses!"
Jolynn
"While pregnant
with my second child at 23, I went through a lot of stress, and as a
result, I began to lose my eyelashes … to the point where I
literally had none! My eyes looked weird. It was embarrassing. I
never realized the value of my eyelashes until they were gone.
To make up for the loss, I started wearing false eyelashes all the
time, which wasn't always convenient. But I kept wearing them … for
decades! I'd pretty much given up hope of ever having eyelashes
again.
Then, at age 61, I was asked to participate in a clinical study for
eyelash growth by my doctor. He didn't make any promises, but I was
hopeful. The results were amazing! Finally, my lashes grew back
thick and long! I was so excited. Now I have beautiful long
eyelashes" Jeannie
How does Latisse work?
The active ingredient in LATISSE™ is bimatoprost. Although the
precise mechanism of action is not known, research suggests that the
growth of eyelashes occurs by increasing the percent of hairs in,
and the duration of, the anagen (or growth) phase. Lashes can grow
longer, thicker and darker because bimatoprost can also prolong this
growth phase

Instructions for Use: Use once a day at bedtime, Before
applying, remove contact lenses, and gently wash around the eyes
with a mild cleanser or mild soap.
Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile
applicator horizontally, place one drop of LATISSE™ solution on the
area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip.
To apply draw a thin line of Latiesse along the base of the upper lash liner, rather than
below the lashes, along the eyelid rim. Use as if you were applying
eyeliner.
Blot excess solution past the lash line
Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for opposite eyelid,
using a new sterile applicator to help minimize any potential for
contamination from one eyelid to another.
DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONCE A DAY and don't "catch up" if you
missed a day.!
Ingredients: Bimatoprost opthalmic solution .03% -
Approved by the FDA for insufficient or inadequate lashes
Do not use LATISSE™ solution if you are allergic to one of its
ingredients.
LATISSE™ solution is intended for use on the skin of the upper
eyelid margins at the base of the eyelashes. DO NOT APPLY to the
lower eyelid. If you have a history of abnormal 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. These include skin
darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the
eyelids.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription
drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call
1-800-FDA-1088.
