Latisse

The most common side effects after using LATISSE® are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness, which were reported in approximately 4% of clinical trial patients. LATISSE® solution may cause other less common side effects which typically occur close to where LATISSE® is applied.

Latisse is very safe, and effective for eyelash growth. Since it is not applied to the cornea, but to the eyelid skin margin, there should be no risk of vision loss. If redness, irritation, or dryness occur simply stop the Latisse and consult your doctor before resuming the product.

Once you stop using Latisse your lashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months. You won’t lose your eyelashes beyond what they were when you started Latisse, but they will gradually lose their length and fullness upon discontinuing the product.

Do not use LATISSE® solution if you are allergic to one of its ingredients. Inactive ingredients: benzalkonium chloride; sodium chloride; sodium phosphate, dibasic; citric acid; and purified water. Sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may be added to adjust pH. The pH during its shelf life ranges from 6.8 — 7.8.

Currently, Latisse (bimatoprost) is the only available prescription medication for growing more eyelashes. There are other alternatives that are available over the counter, but many of them have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety or effectiveness.
