Grow Longer, Fuller Lashes with Latisse

Individuals in White Plains, New York and in other areas of the county have found success through Latisse, a treatment designed to allow patients to improve eyelash growth. It is intended for those with small eyelashes or thin eyelash growth. It is currently the only FDA approved treatment for the growth of thicker and fuller lashes, and has seen success among many patients that use the treatment regularly and appropriately. Some statistics indicate that about 80% of Latisse users report an improvement in lash growth and fullness. Researchers believe that the results from Latisse are due to the increased percentage of lash development during the growth phase.

Before using this product, interested patients should speak with a medical professional to determine if they are a candidate for Latisse. Most men and women with small or thin eyelash growth may be considered candidates for treatment, although those taking antibiotics, heart medication or other drugs may not be considered a candidate. Patients with neurological problems and other diseases and those with severe allergies are strongly encouraged to disclose these conditions to a medical professional.

Application of Latisse is done by the patient in the comfort of his or her own home. Patients should first wash their face and remove any makeup, creams or contacts. A drop of the solution should then be placed on an applicator, and should then be applied to the base of the upper eyelid at the point that the lashes meet the skin of the eyelid. Use a dry tissue to blot off any excess solution and use a fresh applicator for each eyelid. (Never use the same applicator twice.)

There may be a temporary redness and itching following application, although these side effects should subside once the body becomes used to the treatment. Do not apply this treatment to the eye itself, but if a small amount of the solution gets into the eye, it should not cause any problems. Results may begin to appear after four to eight weeks, but the full effects of Latisse may not be seen for 16 weeks.

Latisse may only remain effective for as long as the product is used. Once the initial 16 week period is over and optimal results have been reached, some patients may begin a maintenance program to keep the effects of the treatment. However, patients should be aware that Latisse is intended to be used on a continual daily basis. Upon ceasing use of this product, eyelashes may return to their appearance before treatment within four to six weeks of ending use of Latisse.

The cost of Latisse may range from $110 to $150 per bottle, although this may vary. Each bottle contains a 45 day supply of the product. For more information about Latisse, patients are encouraged to consult a medical professional at a reputable clinic in the White Plains community. Individuals who are interested in this product should discuss it in greater detail with a professional knowledgeable of the treatment.
