Home –› Q & A –› LATISSE®

I've been using daily Latisse for six months, and love the results. If I reduced the frequency of applications, to maybe 3 times per week rather than daily, would my new eyelash thickness be maintained? Or do I still need to apply every day?

Most likely you will be able to have the same results. I have told many of patients to wean down to 3x per week and they have had no loss of their eye lashes. If you do notice a difference, then you simply go back to every day or 5 days a week.

We have found that after the eyelashes have grown to full length, thickness and color with daily usage of Latisse that cutting back to a maintenance dosage like you suggest, 3-4 times a week, is usually enough to maintain results. Everyone will be a bit different, but we have
found this to be an effective maintenance program for most.
