Your Longer, Thicker Eyelashs Are Here!!!

LATISSE Eyelash enhancement is the first FDA-approved prescription eyelash growth product that has been clinically proven to grow your eyelashes and make them longer, thicker, and fuller. Created by the manufacturer of Botox Cosmetic, LATISSE (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is a major breakthrough formula in the eyelash enhancement world and it can dramatically enhance the length, thickness and fullness of your eyelashes. Latisse works gradually and remarkably, with results already seen within four weeks and achieving full results after 16 weeks. Once you begin treatment, you could start to see results in as little as 4 weeks and then more results gradually over time.

Your Eyelashes Will Experience Real Measurable Growth

Latisse works from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you'll begin to see changes in length, thickness and darkness gradually. After week 16, you'll see the full effect of LATISSE™ — and so will others. In the clinical study, 78% had a significant increase in overall eyelash prominence (including elements of length, fullness, and darkness) at week 16.

Latisse Eyelash Tips

For Best Results

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, as well as ensure safety and maximize effectiveness.

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.

What is skin hyperpigmentation?
This is a common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin become abnormally darker than the surrounding skin color.

Hyperpigmentation is a possible side effect of LATISSE, but may be reversible after you discontinue use.

What is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)?
This is a condition where the pressure inside the eye is higher than normal. LATISSE may decrease IOP. So talk to your doctor if you are using IOP-lowering medications. Concurrent administration of LATISSE and certain IOP-lowering medications in ocular hypertensive patients should be closely monitored for changes in intraocular pressure.
