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????
Latisse works by making your lashes grow longer, thicker and (sometimes) darker. In order for Latisse to work you need to have a living hair follicle (root). If you have pulled out your lashes it is hard to know for sure if you still have living hair folicles under the skin. If you do, then Latisse should help. I would ask your cosmetic doctor or ophthalmologist to see if Latisse may by worth a try.
i am unde the impression that applying latisse with contacts still on actually buffers the iris against latisse, thereby preventing unwanted changes in color.
When Latisse is applied to the edge of the eyelid, a very small amount gets into the tears that moisturize your eyes. The Latisse that is in your tears travels around your contact lens. If you wear soft lenses it is also absorbed by the lens. In addition Latisse contains a preservative called benzylkonium chloride that is not good for your lenses.
It is also important to remember that properly applied Latisse is very unlikely to cause a change in your iris color.
