Latisse™
Latisse is the first FDA-approved prescription treatment to offer longer, fuller, and darker eyelashes. Latisse is a prescription treatment offered by doctors for hypotrichosis, another name for inadequate or not enough eyelashes. Latisse works by increasing the length of the eyelash growth phase, as well as increasing the number of hairs actively growing.

Is Latisse™ Right for Me?
Both women and men can benefit from Latisse treatments. You may benefit from Latisse treatments if you feel that your lashes are:
- Too short
- Too thin
- Too sparse
- Not a noticeable facial feature
Most adults without serious medical concerns are able to use Latisse. You may not be an ideal candidate for Latisse if you have a history of abnormal intraocular pressure or are currently on medication to control elevated intraocular pressure.
The Costs of Latisse™
The retail cost of Latisse in Detroit typically ranges from $99 to $150 per kit, with each kit lasting about two months. It may take two kits to see the full results of Latisse treatments, and use of Latisse must be continued for long-lasting results.
Procedure Details
Latisse is a prescription treatment that is applied directly to the eyelashes each night. While it is important to maintain a routine when using Latisse, it should not be applied more than once per day, as patients in Detroit may experience an increased occurrence of eye redness or itchiness. Before applying Latisse, it is important to remove all eye makeup to ensure a clean surface, and remove contact lenses. You can reinsert contact lenses fifteen minutes after using Latisse.
Your Latisse kit contains a bottle of 0.03% bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, as well as sterile disposable applicators. Use a new applicator each night. Remove the applicator, place one drop of the Latisse solution near the tip of the applicator, and then gently draw the applicator along the skin at the base of the upper eyelashes, where the lashes meet the skin. Most Toledo and Detroit Latisse patients find it easiest to apply Latisse from the inner corner of the eye to the outer edge. Do not apply Latisse to the lower lash line. If the Latisse solution extends beyond the eyelid, blot excess solution with a tissue.

Results After Latisse™
Latisse results, including changes in lash length, thickness, and darkness, will gradually become visible, with Toledo, OH Latisse patients reporting full results after 12 to 16 weeks. Many doctors advise patients to take their own Latisse before after photos so that they have an accurate way to judge the results in progress. Once you begin treatment, daily use is essential in order to maintain these results. After Latisse use is discontinued, the eyelashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.
Latisse side effects may include reversible darkening of the eyelid skin, increased brown pigmentation in the irises of the eyes, or hair growth on areas of skin touched by the Latisse solution. During the time you are using Latisse, you can still wear eye makeup and contact lenses as usual, although you are advised to wait fifteen minutes after applying Latisse to use such products.
