Cost and Financing for LATISSE

The costs associated with using LATISSE ® to grow longer, thicker eye lashes average from $90 to $150 per kit. A kit will include both the product, which is applied once a day, and applicators. Most doctors feel that it will take at least two kits for a patient to achieve optimum results. One box will provide the patient with thirty days of product, but treatment with LATISSE ® will be a continuous expense if these improvements are to be maintained. The pricing of the LATISSE ® treatment may include a variety of services by the provider including pre and post treatment pictures so that improvements can be documented and education about the proper way to use LATISSE ® . It is a good idea to ask about what is included in the price when getting a projected cost analysis because all follow-up visits may not be covered. Also, any adverse reactions to the product could result in added expenses. Because LATISSE ® is a prescription medicine which is usually sold out of a doctor's office rather than a pharmacy, it is part of a highly competitive market. Though prices can vary greatly from one provider to another, many do offer introductory pricing. The manufacturer Allergan also offers frequent rebates so it is a good idea to shop around for the best price. Some physicians will even offer a discount on other cosmetic treatments or services when the patient purchases LATISSE ® . Although LATISSE ® is rarely covered by medical insurance because it is usually applied for aesthetic reasons, when compared to other methods of lash improvement, it may be the more reasonable choice. Lash extensions can run as much as six hundred dollars, and an eyelash transplant is sometimes as much as three thousand dollars per eye. Doctors are usually willing to work with the patient to provide a workable payment plan, but because LATISSE ® will be an ongoing expense, it is important to make sure your budget can accommodate using the product regularly, in order to develop and maintain your results.
