What is Latisse and what is it used for:
Latisse is a medication used to treat hypotrichosis, a condition where the eyelashes are inadequate or sparse. It contains the active ingredient bimatoprost, which works by lengthening the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle, resulting in longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes.
How to use Latisse:
Latisse is applied topically to the base of the upper eyelashes once a day, using a sterile applicator. The medication should not be applied to the lower eyelashes, and excess solution should be blotted away with a tissue. Latisse should not be used more than once a day, as overuse can lead to decreased effectiveness. The full effects of the medication may take several weeks to become noticeable.
Possible side effects of Latisse:
Latisse may cause some side effects, including:
- Eye redness, itching, or irritation
- Dry eyes
- Darkening of the skin around the eyes
- Eyelid redness or swelling
- Eyelash growth outside the intended treatment area
- Vision changes
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Latisse:
Before using Latisse, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Latisse may interact with certain medications, including other eye medications, so it is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Latisse is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as the effects of the medication on fetal development and breast milk production are unknown.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while using Latisse. Latisse is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
