LATISSE 0.03% – 5 mL (140 Applicators)

WANT FULLER, LONGER, DARKER LASHES? Grow Real Lashes with LATISSE®

LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% – the first FDA-approved treatment for hypotrichosis of the eyelashes, increasing their growth, including length, thickness and darkness.

THE LATISSE® STORY

In 2001, Allergan developed a medicated eye drop called bimatoprost to treat glaucoma. By a stroke of serendipity, many of the patients noticed something happening to their eyelashes. Their eyelashes grew longer, fuller, and darker while on the medication. This unexpected side effect prompted Allergan to study bimatoprost for the use in eyelash hypotrichosis, which is the medical term for an inadequate amount of hair.

The study produced remarkable results. At week 16, patients had an average of 1.4 mm growth in length (25 percent increase) and a 106 percent increase in fullness and thickness. The results of the study resulted in LATISSE® become the first and only FDA-approved treatment to lengthen, darken, and thicken eyelashes for people with insufficient lashes.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

5 STEPS • ONCE DAILY • 16 WEEKS

• Step 1: Before applying
  Before applying LATISSE® daily, ensure your face is clean and that makeup and contact lenses are removed.
• Step 2: Prepare the applicator
  Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of LATISSE® solution on the area of the applicator closest to the tip, but not on the tip.
• Step 3: Apply to skin using applicator
  Immediately draw the applicator carefully along the skin at the base of the upper eyelashes (where the eyelashes meet the skin) going from the inner part of your lash line to the outer part.
• Step 4: Blot excess
  Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid with a tissue.
• Step 5: Dispose of applicator
  Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for the opposite eyelid, using a new, sterile applicator to help minimize any potential for contamination from one eyelid to another.

It’s important that you understand how to use LATISSE® correctly. 

•  Apply LATISSE® daily for 16 weeks. Do not reduce or stop application when you first notice results
• If you miss a dose, don’t try to play “catch-up.” Just apply LATISSE® the next day
• DO NOT APPLY directly into the eye or to the lower lid; blot excess solution with a tissue
• It is possible for hair growth to occur on other areas of your skin that LATISSE® solution frequently touches
• Only use the sterile applicator supplied with the LATISSE® kit to apply the product
• Don’t allow the tip of the bottle or applicator to touch your fingers or any other unintended surface, as contamination by common bacteria is known to cause infections
• Remove contact lenses prior to applying LATISSE® solution. Contact lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes after application
• If you get LATISSE® in your eye, do not rinse your eye. It is not expected to cause harm
• Remember, if you stop using LATISSE®, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use LATISSE® if you are allergic to one of its ingredients. If you use/used prescription products for eye pressure problems, use LATISSE® under the care of your physician.  LATISSE® may cause brown darkening of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. LATISSE® may cause eyelid skin darkening which may be reversible. Only apply at base of upper lashes. DO NOT APPLY to lower lid. Hair may grow outside the treatment area. If you have eye problems/surgery, consult your physician.

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF USING LATISSE®? 

The most common, and reversible, side effects of Latisse are dry or watery eyes or slight swelling, burning, or itching in the eyelid. Less commonly, some people experience noticeable irritation, darkening or reddening of the skin where Latisse is applied, or dry eyes. Rarely, it is possible for brown areas near the pupil to darken and make the eye appear more brownish. See LATISSE Full Product Information for more details about side effects in clinical trials. Stop using LATISSE and contact your physician immediately if you experience an allergic or adverse reaction including hives, eye discharge, change in vision, severe redness or swelling, or eye pain.
