Questions about Latisse

    SILICON VALLEY, CA, December 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- What is Latisse?
Latisse is the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatment for hypotrichosis to grow eyelashes. Latisse is a prescription medication produced by Allergan, a pharmaceutical company with over sixty years experience in the manufacture of eye care products.

What is hypotrichosis?
Hypotrichosis is a condition where there is a total lack of hair growth. Hypotrichosis may be the result of inappropriate genetic development or a symptom of another medical condition. Many medical conditions are linked to hypotrichosis, including but not limited to Graham-Little syndrome, Hallerman-Streiff syndrome, Ofuji syndrome and certain types of chondrodysplasia.

How is Latisse given to the patient?
Latisse could not be simpler to use. It is a once daily treatment you apply to the base of your upper eyelashes using the specially provided applicator. Latisse is easy to use and is an effective approach to obtaining thick, long and beautiful eyelashes.

Are there any possible side effects with the use of Latisse?
As with any prescription medication, there are some side effects to be noted. Reported side effects may include eye irritation, redness and dry eyes, temporary darkening of the skin and hair growth on the skin. A specially designed applicator is provided in order to reduce the risk of Latisse coming in contact with an unintended area of the skin. Latisse is a prescription medication that should be monitored by a physician to minimize the risk of side effects and ensure its proper usage.

Are there people who should not use Latisse?
Your physician will determine, after performing a detailed history and physical, whether or not you are a good candidate for Latisse therapy. People with an eye infection, broken or irritated upper eyelid skin or those using products for elevated intraocular pressure are generally not good candidates for Latisse therapy.
