Though it's only been out on the market for a relatively short time, many consumers are learning about LATISSE ® , a cosmetic dermatology product that helps grow longer and thicker eyelashes in many patients. This product caused a resounding boom of interest when it appeared on the market. LATISSE ® is sold by prescription only, and ordered by skilled and qualified dermatologists.
LATISSE ® and Fair Skin Tones
LATISSE ® is useful for patients with varying skin tones. With lighter skin tones, especially when a patient has both fair skin and light colored eyes, there is a chance of some adverse side effects with LATISSE ® . Specifically, some patients claim that the use of Latisse can lead to a discoloration of the iris, the colored portion of the eye that surrounds the pupil. Some say this effect is more frequent in lighter skinned patients. Others say that these side effects are caused by improper application of LATISSE ® . The Allergan company that makes the product issues directions for proper application. If you are thinking about starting out with LATISSE ® , talk to your doctor about all of these potential side effects and the importance of proper application for safe use of LATISSE ® , to benefit from its positive cosmetic effects.
