For years many women have tried different methods to make their eyelashes longer, darker and thicker. LATISSE® is a safe solution that will give you the dramatic eyelashes you always dreamed of without irritating false eyelashes, annoying lash extensions or pricy mascara. By simply applying LATISSE® regularly, you will have long, thick and flattering eyelashes.
LATISSE® is a medical treatment to enhance the length and thickness of eyelashes. Originally LATISSE® was used as a treatment for glaucoma. During the treatment, glaucoma patients discovered their eyelashes were longer, thicker and darker while using the medication. The treatment is applied to your upper eyelashes once a day and within 8 weeks you can expect to see longer, thicker eyelashes. Within 16 weeks you will have achieved the maximum results with LATISSE®.
In just a few weeks, you will enjoy longer, fuller and darker eyelashes without the inconvenience of mascara, false eyelashes or extensions. You will finally be able to enjoy long eyelashes without the clumping, running or finding an eyelash on your cheek.
LATISSE® drops take just a few seconds to apply to achieve lasting results within a couple of months. Ongoing use of LATISSE® ensures you always have long, flattering eyelashes that are yours. Unlike other beauty treatments, the results of using LATISSE® always look natural and attractive. LATISSE® will give you those long, natural looking eyelashes that you’ve always wanted.
The most common side effects after using LATISSE® solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness, which were reported in approximately 4% of patients. 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 eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids. Skin darkening (or hyperpigmentation) is another less common side effect. This condition causes areas of skin to become darker than the surrounding skin color, but has been reported to be reversible after discontinuation of the product.
LATISSE® is FDA approved and Allergan, Inc, the makers of LATISSE®, have been in business since 1950. They are also well known for the development and marketing of products such as Botox Cosmetic. LATISSE® is distributed only by medical doctors who can inform patients of the potential risks and complications of the product.
