About Latisse and generic bimatoprost

What is Latisse?

Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to enhance the growth of eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker. Latisse works by prolonging the growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair cycle and increasing the number of hairs that grow.

What is the price of Latisse and generic Latisse (bimatoprost)?

In the United States the average retail price for a 3-milliliter bottle of brand-name Latisse is approximately $150 – $180. Via Miiskin, you can purchase a 3 ml bottle of generic bimatoprost for $78.99 from Foothills pharmacy.

Who can use Latisse or bimatoprost?

Latisse or bimatoprost is suitable for healthy adults without significant medical or eye health issues like eye infections or glaucoma. It is particularly useful for those with sparse or short eyelashes who wish to enhance their lash appearance.

Who should avoid using Latisse or generic Latisse?

• Children under 18 years of age
• Women who are pregnant, want to become pregnant or breastfeeding as it is unknown if it can affect the fetus
• People with eye conditions such as an eye infection, inflammation, or a history of eye surgeries, consult your doctor before use.
• Patients with closed-angle glaucoma, inflammatory glaucoma or neovascular glaucoma
• Individuals allergic to bimatoprost or any ingredients in Latisse
• People with light-colored eyes since Latisse may cause permanent darkening of the iris, especially in individuals with blue or green eyes.

Frequently asked questions about Latisse

What medication makes your eyelashes grow?

Dr. Alpana Mohta, board-certified dermatologist, says that the primary medication known to promote eyelash growth is bimatoprost, marketed under the brand name Latisse. It enhances the length, thickness, and darkness of eyelashes by prolonging their growth phase.

What is the downside of Latisse?

 Dr. Mohta says that potential downsides of Latisse include side effects like redness, itching, or irritation of the eyelids, darkening of the skin around the application area, and rare permanent darkening of the iris, particularly in individuals with light-colored eyes. Contact lenses need to be removed before using bimatoprost ophthalmic solution. Lenses should only be reinserted after 15 minutes.

Does anything actually help eyelashes grow?

 Dr. Mohta says that medications like Latisse and some over-the-counter serums containing peptides glycosaminoglycans or biotin can help promote eyelash growth; however, Latisse is the only FDA-approved option for this purpose.

How to stimulate eyelash growth?

 Dr. Mohta says that eyelash growth can be stimulated by using FDA-approved medications like Latisse or using OTC lash serums (although results will not be as dramatic), maintaining proper nutrition with minerals and protein-rich foods, and avoiding habits that damage lashes, such as excessive mascara use.

What is the best alternative to Latisse?

 Dr. Mohta says that the best alternative to Latisse is the generic version, bimatoprost 0.03% solution, which offers similar results at a lower cost. Some over-the-counter serums can also be used, but they will not provide the same type of results.

Is there an OTC Latisse?

No, Latisse is not available over the counter. It requires a prescription because of its active ingredient, bimatoprost, which has specific medical considerations and potential side effects.
