Latisse

The First and Only FDA Approved Treatment for Longer, Thicker and Fuller Eyelashes

A Non Surgical Treatment for Beautiful Eyelashes

Latisse™ is a prescription medication that makes your very own lashes longer, thicker and fuller.   Latisse™ is 0.03% Bimatoprost, which is the same active ingredient as Allergan's glaucoma medication, Lumigan™.   Doctors found that one of the side effects of Lumigan™ was an increase in the darkness, thickness, length and number of eyelashes.  Lumigan™, a prescription eye medication not a cosmetic, grew impressive eyelashes in men and women alike.  

Originally, Latisse™ was intended to be used in the treatment of hypotrichosis (the medical term for inadequate or insufficient eyelashes) in cancer patients that had lost their eyelashes while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, but has now been approved by the FDA as an eyelash beautifier.

Latisse™ is applied once a day, in the evening, to the base of the upper eyelashes with a single use, sterile applicator.  A new applicator is then used on the second eye.  Repeating this daily will cause thicker, longer, darker and more numerous eyelashes. Allergan states that 4% of the patients experienced minor itching or eye redness.  Latisse™ should not be used if you are allergic to the any of its components, have an active infection or broken skin.  Less common reactions are skin dryness, darkening or redness of the skin or ocular irritation.

How do You Know if Latisse™ is Right for You?

The first step is to schedule an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Schecter. He can evaluate your medical history and examine you to determine if you are a good candidate for Latisse™.
