Latisse: An exciting addition to women's beauty regimes

LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or not having enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.

LATISSE™ solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.

Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.

Once you know how to apply LATISSE™, it's important to understand a few simple tips to help you make your treatment as effective as possible.

Follow these guidelines for best results:

Think routine

Try to incorporate LATISSE™ into your nightly routine — for example, after you've washed your face and brushed your teeth.

Keep it handy

Store the LATISSE™ bottle near your other skin care products or toothbrush, so you won't forget to apply it each night.

Have patience

LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% takes time to work. Only use it once a night, and don't overuse it, as this may increase the chance of experiencing eye redness or itchiness.

Start fresh

If your eye makeup remover leaves an oily residue on your eyelids, wipe off any excess oils with soap and water to ensure a clean surface before you apply LATISSE™.

Follow the rules

Always use the sterile, disposable FDA-approved applicator provided in the kit. Don't try to apply LATISSE™ with a cotton swab. The LATISSE™ applicator is specially designed to hold a drop and release a drop.

Don't play catch up

If you miss a dose one night, don't apply more just to catch up. Simply apply LATISSE™ the next evening and stay on schedule.

Beware of germs

Don't let the tip of the bottle or applicator contact your fingers or any other unintended surface, in order to avoid contamination.

Chart your progress

When you start using LATISSE™ solution, be sure to mark your calendar and take pictures throughout weeks (0, 4, 8, 12, 16), so you can have your own "Before & After Gallery."
