Can I Get Latisse Online?

I live in London, would I be able to have a consult via e-mail and then i could maybe send and make payment over the internet? I have really lost my self confidence as most of my eye lashes were ripped out and havn't really grown back.


A: In the US, Latisse is a prescription product.

Because Latisse is relatively new to be used as an eyelash growth enhancer, I think it would be advisable to see a doctor in person and have regular follow-ups. The rules in England may be different than in the US, but I tend to take a safety approach and avoid internet dealings. In the US, Latisse is a prescription product, and doctors can only sell in the state in which the doctor has a license. For me, with my medical license from California that would mean that I can dispense/sell in California, only.

Will Latisse Change Eye Color?

If I have light blue eyes, will Latisse turn my irises brown?

A: If your light-colored eye color is your livelihood, consider avoiding Latisse

We have not had any of our patients report this complication. This doesn't mean that we will not see this complication of iris color change (to a darker color) in the future. We have had models and actresses who have light colored eyes as their marketing attribute ask us for Latisse, but we have advised them to avoid Latisse at this time to wait to see what others are experiencing. Even though it is a rare complication, I don't think it is worth risking a career based on eye color for Latisse.

Medicine is full of unknowns and risks. One must weight the pros and cons when considering medical options. I usually try my best to explain in person what we know, but that doesn't erase the risks and the unknown, but it gives you (as the patient) more information to make your own decision based on what we know.

With that said, I am happy to share that I am a happy user of Latisse (I have dark brown eyes).

Please discuss this in person with your doctor for more up to date and specific information.

How Much Does Latisse Cost?

A: We currently charge $120 per box of Latisse

There have been open house specials that we have seen for about $100 per box of Latisse. We do estimate that our true cost of Latisse is around $92 dollars per box of Latisse factoring staff time and compensation. But we have sold it recently at our open house for $90 a box as a special one time promotional.
