Did you Latisse your eyebrows?

By panda200 on 11 Feb 2010

has anyone tried applying latisse on their eyebrows? did they grow in darker, longer, thicker like they advertise for eye lashes? why don't they talk about this in the ads?

I understand from the assistant to the doctor who prescribed Latisse for me that you can use it on lower lashes. She said that the reason Allergan says not to is simply because test trials were not conducted on the lower lash line. I'm using on my lower lash line and have suffered no ill effects so far.

I have a connection for the Generic Version of Latisse!! I started out using Latisse, and had great results, then I went looking for a cheaper alternative because Latisse is so expensive! A girlfriend connected me to a lady who sells the Generic version after she had such amazing results with it!!So I gave it a try and the results have been fabulous!! I've now been been using the Generic for over a year with amazing results for way less!! Private message me for her contact info! I love glam lashes!! :-)

I use latisse on my lower lid and eyebrows. I have a remarkable improvement and no major issues.

I have been using it on lower lashes and brows for two months with wonderful results. I use an ultra-fine paintbrush, which I sterilize with rubbing alcohol after each use. The paintbrush allows me to apply a very small amount very precisely, so I get results and expect this one bottle will last me three months or so, treating all three areas (upper, lower lashes, and eyebrows)

EyeBROWS? How is that working for you? Are the brows growing more hair or what? I ask because I've lost most of my eyebrows at this point in my life, maybe from aging or maybe because I had bad tattooed eyebrows lasered off. If Latisse helps eyebrows grow in, maybe I'll consider using it for my brows.

I've been using a product called librow for about 6 weeks and seen a huge difference in my eyebrows which were nearly gone. They are darker and have almost completely filled in.

Hi- I've been using Latisse for two weeks now and have noticed my lashes shedding more than usual. Has anyone had that initial reaction to the product (followed by positive results?) I'm hoping they are falling out due to the accelerated growth cycle. Maybe the weak lashes are being pushed out to make room for bigger and better lashes? Wishful thinking? Thanks. Stella

Hi Stella Nicole, I too shed quite a few lashes in the first few days of use. But now I am currently on my 5th week and have not noticed any lash shedding since my initial loss at the beginning. Dont worry, I think that the lashes we both lost were probably older ones that were going to fall out in the near future, and the Latisse/Lumigan just speed up this process. Just like you said - to make way for our beautiful long lush new lashes.

I am a guy, but I have small eyelashes. Can I use Latisse?

I don't see why not! Chicks dig guys with great lashes!

Does anyone know if you have to use Latisse forever? Can you stop using it after you've achieved the results you want, or will they thin out again with discontinued use?

Hi lady_katie2 -- this may help answer your question: Are the results from Latisse permanent?

I haven't used on lower lashes yet. May try carefully. Mostly concerned that it doesn't dry or irritate crows-feet lines. I do use it on brows though and it works well for me. Mom also used it on brows and she had new hair growth - but she stopped because brows were growing in dark and didn't match her lighter color(silver :)) hair. I didn't have any lashes shed at all - I was concerned about that too. And I'm pretty sure that if you stop, your lashes return to previous condition.

My understanding from the doctor that prescribed Latisse said this is a forever task. If you stop using it your lashes will go back to the way they were before you started. Also, using Latisse on the bottom lashes causes brown pigmentation on the skin (ugly). As for eyebrows, Rogaine works GREAT!! I have been using it for 2 months and my eyebrows are gorgeous.

bimatoprost on lower lashes can cause trichiasis. This is aberrant lash growth in which the lashes can curl up onto the eye surface, causing pain and tearing. The pigmentation is brownish-red, not attractive. Worse in brunettes than blonds...

what about using the same applicator I used with upper eyelid to place what's left (latisse) on it on the lower eyelid? that is no extra dose. just a soft dose of latisse.

I have used Latisse on my eyebrows in hopes of filling in the sparse areas. After a few weeks I did notice new hairs growing in, but unfortunately they were in random places around my brows and NOT in the bare spots. The only other result was that I have some rather long eyebrow hairs...which is not exactly the result I was hoping for. In my case using Latisse on my eyebrows did not work so I wouldn't waste any product trying it again. I've read that extra strength Rogaine applied with a q-tip to bald spots may be effective for brow growth...might try that next.

Hi I wanted to ask if the bare spots on your brows are caused by overplucking or some sort of damage to your eyebrows? I had an electrologist remove the bottom 1/3 of my brows without my permission and I'm desperate to get the hairs back and not get an eyebrow transplant which always look weird. Thanks.

I have been using Lumigan (same stuff) on my brows in the thin spots with GREAT results. I don't need to pencil them in anymore.

I've been using Latisse for almost 2 months now. I put one drop onto a reflective surface which will suffice to apply to both eyes, upper and lower lashes. The results are well worth the price. I am fair skinned but do have very dark brown eyes, therefore pigmentation issues are not a worry. I do not use the application brushes supplied, it is a waste of product. I purchased some foam applicators, then found some cheapo Qtip things worked best. I have had no infections, and remain clean and cautious in order to stretch the product. I must say, my eyes never looked better.

Dear raindream, Do you mean cotton Qtips or foam ones?

I have been using it now on my eyebrows but only for about 3 weeks. I think I can see a difference already

My eyebrows are looking great after 4 weeks! I'm totally amazed since they were pale and thin and mostly gone! I'm even using the product to shape the brow hair so they appear more symmetrical. I heard that after the brow is thick enough you can back off to 3 or 4 times a week application. I put 3 drops in the lid of the product and dip a short eyebrow brush into the lid. After using, I rinse the brush in hot water and set it in the open air to dry to reuse the next day. I won't use this brush on my eyelashes, though, because an eye infection is a possibility. My son is experimenting with a small bald spot on the crown of his head by just putting 2-3 drops. I asked him to photograph weekly. Unofficial scientific study!

It's been 8 weeks since I've been using generic Latisse on my eyebrows. Yesterday my friend said, "Hey, what's with the eyebrows?" They are deliciously filled-in but also slightly darker(unexpected)and more symmetrical (I brush on Latisse in an arch and later pluck the "outsiders"). The gray and patchiness is gone. My friend thought I had my brows dyed or tattooed. I may drop back to 3 times per week application and see if the results hold.
