Does Using Latisse Promote Growth of Missing Lashes? I had a bad habit of playing with my lashes whenever nervous/worried, to the point where I'd pull them out. I now currently have noticeable gaps where lashes once were and I use liquid eyeliner daily to hide the gaps. Would using Latisse promote growth of the missing lashes in the 'bald' areas????

A: Does Using Latisse Promote Growth of Missing Lashes

Latisse works by stimulating the eyelash hair follicle to grow fuller, thicker and longer eyelahes. This all sounds great, however, you have to have a working hair follicle in order for the treatment to have an effect. If you have permanently damaged or destroyed the follicle by repeated injury to that area, then you will not see a direct effect on that dead follicle. You will, however, receive an effect on the collateral living follicles, thus, likely will notice a filling out of your eyelash line. The gap created by the nonworking follicles would then be filled in somewhat by the Latisse effect on the working follicles.

Latisse Causing Redness Around Skin on Eye Rims and Lids- Stopped Use, But Is It Permanent? Hi there I've stopped using Latisse after 1 yr due to redness around the skin area of eye rims and lids. I discontinued using the product 4 wks ago but still get the redness. The GP said its Blepharitis, but the only symptoms have been redness - nothing else. Will this eventually go away on it's own, or is the redness something I'll be putting up with forever (Im not using any other products). Regards

A: Redness and Irritation From Latisse Use

This is the only side effect of Latisse that I have ever seen and it is directly linked to the product getting into your eye and irritating it. Typically, it results from using a little too much of the product along the eyelash line, so this allows some to wash over the eye in the tear film. Stopping the use of Latisse will allow the redness to go away. If the redness is persisting after stopping the product, then another eyelid issue, like blepahritis, is likely the cause. The Latisse irritation might have induced the blepharitis, but so could the change of season. Your eye doctor will give you instructions for treating blepharitis and the symptoms should resolve pretty quickly.
