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