Is there really a prescription for my eyelashes?
LATISSE™ is a treatment for inadequate eyelashes available only by prescription from your doctor. It helps eyelashes grow, making them longer, thicker, and darker.
Using LATISSE is easy. Before going to bed, place one drop of the Latisse solution on the applicator. Then draw the applicator carefully across the skin of the upper eyelid at the base of the eyelashes moving from the inner part of your lash line near your nose to the outer part.
There is a small group of people who are allergic to one of the ingredients of Latisse. In addition, if you have been told you have eye pressure problems or have a family history of glaucoma, please let me know during you initial consultation. Of course if you are presently using drops for eye pressure or have a history of glaucoma, please schedule a complete eye exam before starting Latisse.
The most common side effect is an itching sensation or redness of the eye. In addition, Latisse may cause darkening of the eyelid skin, which may be reversible. Although not reported in the clinical trial, Latisse may cause brown pigment to deposit in the color part of the eye of certain individuals, and this likely to be permanent. It is important to allow me to do a close eye exam to determine if you are at risk.
