approved prescribed solution used to treat inadequate eyelashes (hypotrichosis),
making your own lashes grow longer, thicker, and darker.

phase); prolonging this phase allowing the hairs to grow. The exact
Mechanism of action is unknown.
How soon will I see results?
Clinically proven this is a once a day treatment. Results have been
seen as early as 8 weeks. Maximum results are generally seen at 16
weeks after which time a maintenance regimen is recommended.
What does each kit include?
Each LATISSE ® kit comes with a 3mL solution, and 60 disposable
sterile eye applicators; One applicator per eye per day. When used
daily, each LATISSE ® kit is a 30 day supply.
How do I use the product?
Once nightly, first ensure, that makeup and contact lenses are
removed and the face and eye area are cleaned before application of
LATISSE ®. Holding the applicator horizontal, apply one drop of
LATISSE ® to the middle of the brush, then carefully apply lightly
moistened applicator to the upper eyelid starting at the inner
corner of the base of the eyelashes moving outwards. Avoid any
runoff of product. Blot any excess solution with a tissue. Dispose
of applicator after one use. Repeat this process for the opposite
upper eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator. This helps
minimize any potential for contamination from one eyelid to another.
If you miss one night, do not try and catch up, just try and stay on
schedule, do not use product more than once a day. The growth is
gradual, take photos at week 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 and watch your
eyelashes grow.
