![]() Get the lashes you've always dreamed of. Hypotrichosis is a medical term that means that you don't have enough eyelashes. But now there's good news – LATISSE™ is a safe , effective treatment that has been shown to grow longer, fuller more luxurious eyelashes in as little as eight weeks. What is LATISSE™? LATISSE™ is the only prescription eyelash product approved in Canada to grow your natural eyelashes longer, fuller, and darker. Visible results happen as early as eight weeks, with full, dramatic effects in 12 – 16 weeks. How does LATISSE™ work? LATISSE™ is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase. Exactly how this results in improved lashes is not yet fully known. Results in just 8 weeks In the clinical trial, the majority of LATISSE™ users saw significantly improved lashes within two months, with regular, daily use. By the end of four months, lashes were 25 percent longer, 106 percent fuller and 18 percent darker, with 78 percent of trial participants experiencing an improvement in overall eyelash prominence. The results? Dramatically longer, fuller and darker lashes! How is LATISSE™ different? Unlike over-the-counter eyelash products that condition and moisturize lashes, or mascara products that make your lashes look longer than they are, LATISSE™ has been clinically proven to actually grow noticeably longer, fuller and darker lashes. LATISSE™ is the only prescription product that is clinically proven and approved in Canada.

Yes, there is no problem in using mascara while you are using LATISSE™. What if I forget to apply LATISSE™? If you miss a night, don't apply extra to try to catch up. Simply apply LATISSE™ the next night as usual and stay on schedule. How do I maintain my results? To achieve the full effect of LATISSE™, you will need to use the product daily for 16 weeks. After that point, you can talk to your doctor about ongoing use. What if I stop using LATISSE™? If LATISSE™ is discontinued, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance. Are there any possible side effects? The most common side effects after using LATISSE™ solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. This was reported in approximately 4% of patients. LATISSE™ solution may cause other less common side effects which typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE™ is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids. If you develop a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should immediately seek your physician's advice concerning the continued use of LATISSE™ solution. Could my eye colour change with LATISSE™? There have been no reports of eye colour change in the LATISSE™ clinical study. However, there is the potential for increased brown iris pigmentation which is likely to be permanent. Increased iris pigmentation is associated at a very low incidence when bimatoprost is instilled directly into the eye. What should I do if I wear contact lenses? Contact lens wearers can use LATISSE™. They need to remove their lenses before applying the solution and can reinsert their contacts 15 minutes afterwards. Why do directions say to only apply LATISSE™ solution to the base of the upper eyelashes? The clinical studies of LATISSE™ were conducted on patients who applied the product to the base of their upper lashes only. DO NOT APPLY in your eye or to the lower lid. There is the potential for hair growth to occur in areas where LATISSE™ solution comes in repeated contact with the skin surface. It is important to apply LATISSE™ only to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes using the accompanying sterile applicators, and to carefully blot any excess LATISSE™ from the eyelid margin to avoid its running onto the cheek or other skin areas. What should I do if I get LATISSE™ into my eye? LATISSE™ solution is an ophthalmic drug product. If any gets into the eye, it is not expected to cause harm. The eye does not need to be rinsed. Who should NOT use LATISSE™? Do not use LATISSE™ solution if you are allergic to one of its ingredients. What are the ingredients in LATISSE™? Active ingredient: bimatoprost What should I do if I experience eye redness? Eye redness may occur immediately after use. Consult your doctor if the redness persists or you notice other symptoms as well. If you develop a new eye condition (e.g. trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have eye surgery, or develop any eye reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should immediately seek your physician's advice concerning the continued use of LATISSE™. What should I do if I experience eye itching? Eye itching may occur immediately after use. Consult your doctor if the itching persists or you notice other symptoms as well. If you develop a new eye condition (e.g. trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have eye surgery, or develop any eye reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should immediately seek your physician's advice concerning the continued use of LATISSE™. read more How Do I Apply LATISSE™
