What is Latisse?
Latisse solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker. Eye hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.
How does is work?
Latisse is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in 2 ways; first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs it grows in this growth phase. The exact way it works is unknown.
How soon will I see results?
The onset of affect with Latisse solution is gradual. In clinical trial, the majority of Latisse users saw a significant improvement by 2 months.
How is Latisse different?
Only Latisse has been approved by the FDA as a prescription treatment for hypotrchosis used to grow eyelashes. It also has been studied in clinical trial to demostrate its safety and effectiveness.
