LATISSE Eyelash Growth
An FDA-Approved Solution for Longer Lashes
Many patients want to have longer or thicker lashes to supplement their facial aesthetic. While options like mascara and artificial lashes do exist, they cannot generate a natural look. With LATISSE lash serum, patients can achieve natural-looking improvements to their eyelashes, including length, thickness, and darkness. Contact our office today to learn more about this modern approach to lusher eyelashes.
What Is LATISSE Lash Serum?
A new use for the active ingredient in LATISSE was discovered while treating glaucoma patients. While receiving treatment for glaucoma, patients suddenly had notably longer and fuller eyelashes. Further research showed that this active ingredient prolongs the growth phase of eyelash hairs. This leads to longer, thicker lashes because they continue growing past when they
normally would fall out.
The treatment involves applying the serum along the base of the upper eyelashes.
No complicated routines or lengthy treatment sessions. Only a few seconds daily, and you should soon begin seeing improvements. Dr. Aivaz will provide complete instructions on
how to safely apply the serum.
FDA-Approved Eyelash Growth Treatment
The active ingredient in LATISSE is bimatoprost, which is FDA approved for the treatment of inadequate lashes. Many over-the-counter medications are also sold, but these contain a different ingredient without the proven safety and efficacy of bimatoprost. At present, LATISSE is the only FDA-approved eyelash growth serum available. It is only available with a prescription and should not be used by anyone without a prescription.
