Latisse

    HOUSTON, TX, March 31, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Your eyelashes serve both an aesthetic and functional purpose. On a functional level, eyelashes keep debris and pollution from irritating your eye. On an aesthetic level, Eyelashes enhance the appearance and beauty of your eyes. For women who suffer from hypotrichosis, or weak eyelashes, their eyelashes may fail to provide either function.

Long, thick, healthy eyelashes are not always a gift of genetics. Many women turn to mascara in an attempt to achieve thicker, more attractive lashes. While makeup may, in some cases, provide a mild enhancement, long lasting results require real eyelash growth. The only proven way to grow eyelashes is with Latisse.

What is Latisse?

Latisse is a medication that is only available through prescription. Latisse is a topical liquid made by Allergan, one of the nation's top nonsurgical cosmetic companies. Unlike mascara, Latisse does not give the impression of longer, thicker eyelashes, it actually grows them. It remains the only FDA approved solution for eyelash growth, and has been proven effective in providing eyelashes that are significantly thicker, longer, and darker than those you were born with.

How is Latisse Applied?

Latisse should only be used under the guidance of an experienced facial plastic surgeon. To be eligible for Latisse, your plastic surgeon or doctor will need to make sure you do not have any allergies, or eye or skin conditions that could interfere with results. If it is determined that Latisse is safe for you to use, you will be provided with a prescription for at-home application.

Latisse is applied every night. You will need to wash your face and remove contact lenses prior to application. When used as directed, results generally start to show within four to six weeks. It may take up to 16 weeks for full results, but with continued usage, these results will be permanent. During this time, your plastic surgeon should schedule follow-up visits to ensure everything is progressing as it should.

The most common side effect of Latisse is itchy eyes. This is a rare occurrence, with only four percent of Latisse recipients reporting the problem. Eye irritation is easily avoidable with proper application of Latisse. Making sure you work closely with an experienced facial plastic surgeon will be helpful during all stages of your treatment.
