Latisse®
LATISSE® is a prescription used to help you grow lashes longer, fuller, and darker. It is the only FDA-approved treatment clinically proven to grow lashes. Dr. Rosalyn George and her staff will help you determine if Latisse is right for you.
How is it used?
LATISSE® is used once nightly and applied topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, as instructed by your doctor. Your results will then gradually occur. In as little as 4 weeks, you may start to see more length. At week 16 you should acheive full growth - This is not an illusion of growth, it's real lash growth.
How LATISSE® works.
LATISSE® makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.
The history behind LATISSE®.
LATISSE® was created by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with 60 years of eye care expertise. In 2001, Allergan developed a medicated eye drop to treat elevated intraocular pressure. Many patients using this medication also began to grow longer, fuller and darker lashes as a side effect. This led Allergan to study the medication's active ingredient, bimatoprost, specifically for growing lashes. After a clinical trial, LATISSE® was approved by the FDA in December of 2008.
Allergan noticed during clinical trials that older women had thinner and shorter lashes, suggesting there may be a donnward trend of eyelash fullness, length, and darkness. Results show a dramatic improvement by week 16 for patients using Latisse.

Safety Information
Side effects are possible. Here's what to look out for.
Tthe most common of which are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. These were reported in approximately 4% of patients. Other less common side effects typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE ® is applied, or in the eyes. These include eyelid skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids. Eyelid skin darkening is a result of increased melanin in the skin, making your eyelid skin look a little darker close to where the solution is applied to the skin. This is expected to reverse after several weeks to months if you decide to stop using the product.
