Is Latisse for you?
Take a moment to assess your lashes.
Perhaps you’ve noticed a change in your lashes over the years. Have they lost their fullness? Do they appear shorter? Or lighter in color? If so, it’s time to consider Latisse, the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough lashes (hypotrichosis) of men and women clinically proven to grow them longer, fuller and darker.

Latisse makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, Latisse is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase fo the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.

The history behind Latisse
Latisse® was created by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with 60 years of eye care expertise. In 2001, Allergan developed a medicated eye drop to treat elevated intraocular pressure. Many patients using this medication also began to grow longer, fuller and darker lashes as a side effect. This led Allergan to study the medication's active ingredient, bimatoprost, specifically for growing lashes. After a clinical trial, LATISSE® was approved by the FDA in December of 2008.

Who should not use Latisse

• Anyone allergic to one of its ingredients:
• • Active Ingredients: bimatoprost opthalmic solution
  • Inactive Ingredients: benzalkonium chloride; sodium chloride; sodium phosphate, dibasic; citric acid; and purified water.
• Anyone previously diagnosed with eye pressure problems, specifically elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) should speak to their eye care specialist before starting Latisse.
• Anyone who is currently taking medication to lower their intraocular pressure (IOP) should be closely monitored while using Latisse.
• Anyone with risk factors for glaucoma, including a family history of glaucoma, should speak to an eye care specialist before starting Latisse.
• We do not recommend Latisse for pregnant or lactating women.
• You must be at least18 years old to purchase Latisse.

What are the possible side effects of using Latisse?
The most common side effects after using Latisse® solution are eye itching or eye redness, which were reported in approximately 4% of patients during the clinical trial. These may occur immediately after use, but should usually last only for a short period of time. Eye itching and eye redness are not allergic reactions, and do not mean that your eyes are being harmed. Latisse® solution may cause other less common side effects, which typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE® is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening (hyperpigmentation), eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids. These are temporary and usually decrease in occurrence once Latisse is stopped or used less frequently. Discontinue use and contact us if you experience any of the above symptoms and we will instruct you on what to do next.

Increased brown iris pigmentation has occurred when similar medications were instilled directly into the eye to treat elevated intraocular pressure/glaucoma. Latisse is not instilled directly into the eye, and iris pigmentation was not reported in clinical studies with Latisse®. However, we nevertheless advise patients about the potential for increased brown iris pigmentation, which is likely to be permanent.

If you develop a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should stop using the product immediately and seek your local physician's advice concerning the continued use of Latisse® solution. You should also contact Allergan® at 800-433-8871.

How do I use Latisse?

• Start by removing your makeup and contact lenses. Make sure any oily make-up removers are completely wiped clean.
• Remove an applicator from its tray. Holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place ONE drop of Latisse solution on the area closest to the tip, but not actually on the tip itself.
• Draw the applicator carefully across the skin of the upper eyelid at the base of the eyelashes, where the lashes meet the skin, starting at the inner part of your lase line (near your nose) to the outer part.
• Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid margin.
• Dispose of the applicator and repeat the same process on the other eye with a new sterile applicator.

Additionally:

• Do not use more than the prescribed amount. This will not make you achieve your goals more quickly, and may cause or worsen side effects.
• If you forget to apply Latisse one night, do not apply more the next night to play “catch up”. Just continue with the directions above.
• If you gt Latisse in your eye, do not rinse your eye.
• Mascara can continue to be used while using Latisse.
• Do not apply to lower lashes.
• Latisse has not been FDA-approved for use anywhere except the upper lashes. It has not been approved for use on eyebrows.

How long will each bottle last?

When used correctly, each kit will last approximately 30 days. The kit contains a bottle with 30ml of solution and 60 sterile applicators, one for each eye for each day’s use. You do not need to keep Latisse in the refrigerator.

When will I see results? Do I always use Latisse every night?
The results become apparent gradually. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks, and should achieve full growth within 16 weeks. You can begin a maintenance program whenever you choose. The most common frequency for maintenance is 3 times per week, though you can choose what works best for your beautiful new lashes!
