Our favorite product for lengthening and thickening eyelashes.
LATISSE®: Long thick lashes have always been a sign of beauty and are universally admired. Thanks to LATISSE® , a prescription medication applied topically to the skin above the lash line, you too can have the eyelash length and thickness that you desire. Results can start to appear after 4 weeks of nightly use, with optimal outcome occurring at 4 months of consistent nightly use.
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 of 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.
LATISSE® was created by Allergan. 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.
