This new product, called Latisse, was developed for people with hypotrichosis, which is another name for having inadequate or too few eyelashes. Like Botox, which was first approved by the FDA as a medical treatment for eye disorders and was found to have an aesthetic benefit, the active ingredient in Latisse was initially developed to treat glaucoma and eyelash growth was noticed to be a side effect.
Dr. Marina Buckley at Advanced Dermatology says “The results are gradual and you should see a significant improvement in the length and thickness of your eyelashes within two months. However, patients have noticed a difference within a few days of starting the Latisse regimen.”
The long term safety of the product is based on 13 years of clinical trials using more than 5,700 patients. Latisse is a prescription item which is available for direct purchase at Advanced Dermatology. An appointment is required to insure that your eyes are healthy and you are a good candidate for the product.
