Board Certified Female Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Beverly Friedlander
Latisse is a remarkable medication that can stimulate eyelash growth. Yes, it is a medication that requires a prescription although it can be dispensed by a physician. Eyelash growth was actually a side effect of this medication. Scientists at Allergan, the makers of Botox, were able to reformulate this as a topical to provide an effective way to grow your eyelashes.

The exact mechanism of action is unknown. Latisse keeps the lashes in the growth phase for a longer period of time.
What we do know is that daily application to the upper eyelid of only one drop of Latisse stimulates fuller thicker eyelashes in as little as one month. It will continue to stimulate growth for up to 4 months. At that time the frequency of application can be reduced to every other day to maintain the improvement. Latisse is available in 5CC bottles that comes with its own applicators. One bottle will last about 2-3 months.
The application process is similar to applying liquid eyeliner. You want to apply a sufficient amount to just moisten the upper lid. The most common side effect is itching which occurs in a very small number of people. Latisse is an effective way to grow your lashes in the convenience of your home with nightly applications. The result is 100% natural and stays with you regardless of what are doing.
Am I a candidate for Latisse?
Latisse is a great solution if you’re struggling with thinning, short, or inadequate lashes, medically known as hypotrichosis.
If you've noticed your lashes becoming lighter, thinner, or shorter with age, Latisse may be the ideal treatment. The best candidates are generally healthy adults with no known allergies to bimatoprost (the active ingredient in Latisse) or its components. Those with a history of eye infections, glaucoma, or severe allergies may not qualify for treatment, so it's important to discuss your full medical history during your consultation. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult with their healthcare provider before considering Latisse.
Latisse Results
While everyone's experience may vary, most patients begin to see visible changes after four weeks of using Latisse regularly. Complete, dramatic results usually take 16 weeks, resulting in longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes. As the only FDA-approved treatment for eyelash growth, Latisse works by extending the growth phase of your lashes, meaning that as you continue the treatment, your lashes will become more prominent. Keep in mind that consistent daily application is key to achieving optimal results.
How much does Latisse cost?
The cost of Latisse can vary depending on your specific needs. On average, a prescription of Latisse typically costs between $120 to $150 for a month's supply. Costs can fluctuate based on the quantity purchased and whether any additional cosmetic treatments are performed in conjunction with Latisse. Since Latisse is a cosmetic treatment, it's not typically covered by insurance, but Dr. Bev's office can discuss payment options.
