Where Can I Purchase Latisse?

It’s available by prescription only through select physicians and requires an appointment.

Should I Remove My Contact Lenses First Before the Treatment?

Yes, it’s a good idea to remove your contact lenses because they can absorb an ingredient in Latisse solution. You can put them back into your eye 15 minutes after application. What if I forget to apply Latisse? If you miss a dose, don’t try to “catch up.” Apply Latisse the next evening, then make the solution part of your evening routine, such as brushing your teeth or removing your makeup. Keep in mind that using Latisse more than once a day will not increase eyelash growth any better than daily use.

What Should I Do If Latisse Gets In My Eye?

It shouldn’t cause any harm. Don’t rinse your eye. Be careful to keep the tip of the bottle or applicator from touching your fingers, objects, or surfaces to avoid contamination.

What Happens If I Stop Using Latisse?

Your lashes will return to their previous appearance over the next several months.

Is Latisse Treatment Painful?

Can I Combine Latisse Treatment with Other Procedures?

What Is Latisse Treatment?

Latisse® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) is the first FDA-approved prescription treatment for hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough eyelashes) and can effectively increase the length, thickness, and darkness of eyelashes.

Like the hair on one’s head, eyelashes sprout, grow for a while, and eventually fall out. Latisse both extends the growth phase and increases the number of hairs that sprout. During clinical studies, improvement is seen within 4-6 weeks, and full results appear after 12-16 weeks of daily use. Eyelash length can increase by as much as 25 percent; thickness and fullness by as much as 100 percent; and darkness by as much as 18 percent.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Latisse Treatment?

To ensure you are a good candidate for Latisse, Dr. Moradzadeh will offer a detailed consultation at his state-of-the-art facility in Los Angeles. In general, Latisse is recommended for patients over 18 who want thicker, darker, more feminine-looking eyelashes without resorting to mascara, glue-ons, or extensions. To use Latisse, patients should be in good health, not currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and realistic in their expectations for their results. If you have glaucoma or another eye condition, check with your primary care provider before using Latisse.

What’s the First Step?

As a first step, you will meet with Dr. Moradzadeh in Los Angeles for an informative, exploratory consultation. The doctor will listen to your goals, answer all of your questions, and complete a thorough medical assessment. He will also review the risks, benefits, and costs associated with Latisse, ensuring your expectations are grounded and realistic.

What to Expect on the Day of Latisse Treatment

Latisse is applied by dabbing it along the upper lash line each night using the sterile applicators provided. The drug spreads to the lower lash line automatically as a person blinks. It should never be applied in the eye or onto the lower lid.

According to clinical studies conducted before FDA approval, Latisse is safe for most patients, with the exception of those with eye problems such as uveitis and conjunctivitis, a risk of macular edema, severe allergies, or skin infections of the upper eyelids. It should also not be used by pregnant or nursing women.
