Latisse is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or insufficient eyelashes, producing longer, fuller, and darker lashes. Latisse makes eyelash growth possible for our Grand Rapids patients because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost.
Effective and easy to use, it is topically applied once daily to the base of your upper eyelashes-just like eyeliner. It works gradually and remarkably, generating noticeable results after 4 weeks, full results after 16 weeks. Your eyelashes will experience real, measurable growth beginning at 3 to 4 weeks. While Latisse is a new treatment in eyelash growth, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with over 60 years of expertise in prescription eye care products.
Latisse works from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you'll first begin to see changes in length. Gradually, you'll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes.
If you're satisfied with your results by week 8, don't stop there. Stick with the treatment, and after week 16, you'll see significant results — and so will others. Once you begin, you must continue applying the topical solution each night and follow the directions for your best outcome. Remember, you will continue to see improvement with regular use. And also remember, if you stop using this product at any time, your eyelashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.
Latisse creates a fantastic foundation upon which to build your daily routine. To see about getting a prescription for Latisse Grand Rapids area residents are encouraged to schedule with us to find out if it’s right for you. Request an appointment online or phone us at (616)588-8880.
