What you should know about bimatoprost lash serum

How does bimatoprost help with eyelash growth?

Bimatoprost is believed to stimulate the growth of eyelashes by prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. While the precise mechanism isn’t entirely understood, it is believed to influence hair follicles and prostaglandin receptors. This is likely because bimatoprost is structurally similar to prostaglandins, which are natural substances in the body that play roles in various physiological processes2.

What patients say about Miiskin

Very happy with this service. Quick and easy. With someone with not the greatest insurance and super busy. This was perfect. Got my prescription next day and great advice for my condition.

I had a great experience with Miiskin – I was able to get my prescription very quickly and their app is easy to use. It was very convenient and their team is very responsive. I highly recommend them and will likely use them in the future for other skin issues.

What a technology! I was very impressed by the speed of communication with a doctor using the Miiskin app. Losing my hair has been my biggest concern, but I didn’t have the courage to reveal my bald spot to a doctor in person. Miiskin solved all my issues instantly. I just took a photo in my own room, uploaded it, and wrote about my concerns. That’s it. The best part is that without insurance, the consultation fee was much lower than any health insurance. I submitted my photo at midnight and received a prescription the very next morning. The doctor at Miiskin was very professional and empathetic, which really helped ease my emotional distress. Although I’m just at the beginning stage of my treatment and haven’t seen significant results yet, I feel reassured and supported. I will definitely upload my progress in 3 to 4 months to show my appreciation for the prescription from Miiskin.

My dermatologist was extremely quick, reviewed my consultation request within 2hrs and I had my Rx the next day! The Miiskin team also responds within minutes and are very polite and communicated concisely. I’ll never make a in person appointment again after experiencing this outstanding and affordable telehealth service!

Quick response from the dermatologist — I wanted a fast turnaround for a skin concern that would be more immediate than going through health insurance, making an appointment, traveling to the doctor.

Precautions when using bimatoprost

Bimatoprost is not suitable for everyone. Here are some categories of people who may not be suitable candidates for bimatoprost:

  • Individuals who are allergic to bimatoprost
  • Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing 
  • People with active eye conditions like conjunctivitis (pink eye) 
  • People with a history of increased intraocular pressure or glaucoma
  • Individuals who have recently undergone eye surgery
  • People with skin infections, broken skin, or skin conditions affecting the upper eyelid should avoid using bimatoprost until the issue is resolved
  • Individuals under the age of 18
  • People who wear contact lenses need to remove them before applying the solution and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them
  • People with certain pre-existing health conditions, especially those affecting the eyes or immune system5

Always consult with a healthcare provider to determine whether bimatoprost is appropriate for you, based on your individual medical history. They will evaluate your suitability for the treatment, considering potential contraindications, and guide you on the safe and effective use of the medication if prescribed.

How to use Tretinoin

What happens if I buy a bimatoprost ophthalmic solution without eyelash applicators?

If you purchase bimatoprost ophthalmic solution without eyelash applicators, you will need to find a safe and effective alternative to apply the product to your lash line. Proper application is crucial to maximize effectiveness and minimize risks like irritation or contamination. Here’s what you need to know:

Alternatives for application

  • Sterile Disposable Brushes:
    Use a clean, disposable eyeliner brush designed for precision. Avoid reusing brushes to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination.
  • Single-Use Cotton Swabs:
    You can dip the tip of a clean cotton swab into the solution and carefully apply it along the base of the upper eyelashes.

How to apply
safely

  • Wash your hands and face thoroughly before application.
  • Apply one drop of the solution to the applicator and gently run it along the skin at the base of your upper eyelashes, similar to applying liquid eyeliner.
  • Avoid applying directly to the eye or lower lashes, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
  • Dispose of the applicator or swab after each use to maintain hygiene.

Things to
avoid

  • Do not use fingers:
    This can introduce bacteria and lead to eye infections.
  • Do not reuse applicators:
    Reusing applicators increases the risk of contamination.
  • Avoid over-application: Using too much can lead to unintended hair growth in nearby areas.
