What you should know about Latisse
How does Latisse help with eyelash growth?
It is believed that bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Latisse, extends the growth phase (anagen) of the eye lashes stimulating hair growth. The exact mechanism is not fully understood yet. It is believed that it affects the hair follicles and the prostaglandin receptors because bimatoprost is structurally similar to prostaglandins (naturally occurring substances in the body involved in various physiological processes2).
Scientists believe this interaction extends the growth phase of the eyebrows, allowing them to grow longer, thicker, and darker over time3.
Warning and precautions when using Latisse
Latisse is not suitable for everyone. Here are some categories of people who may not be suitable candidates for Latisse:
- 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
- People with skin infections, broken skin, or skin conditions affecting the upper eyelid should avoid using Latisse 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 system6
The tip of the LATISSE® bottle should not be in contact with the eye, surrounding structures, fingers or any other surface in order to avoid eye injury or contamination of the solution.
It is important to use LATISSE® solution as instructed, by placing one drop on the single-use-per eye applicator. The accompanying sterile applicators should only be used on one eye and then discarded since reuse of applicators increases the potential for contamination and infections. There have been reports of bacterial keratitis associated with the use of multiple-dose containers of topical ophthalmic products.
