Longevity

The good news about Latisse is that it works. The not so bad news is that you do need to continue it but, you can try skipping a few days and see what the effects are. That will save you product

Need to Use

The efficacy of the product will only work for as long as you use the product. If you stop then it will revert to previous state. You could attempt to use smaller quantities to prolong the use of each bottle.

Need to keep using Latisse

Thank you for your question. The Latisse product works while it's being used. If you stop using it, your lashes will go back to how it was before you started using Latisse. Unfortunately, there is no way to keep the results without continuing to use the product.

Latisse is not permanent

Latisse only works while you are using it. After you stop, your lashes will return to their pre-Latisse thickness and length. The reason is that latisse increases the duration of the hair cycle.

You can try to make your product last longer by using it every other day. This works for some people. more

Latisse

Latisse is a wonderful product but unfortunatly, once you stop using it the results are short lived. The medication stdelays the amount of time before the follicle releases the lash thereby allowing a longer growth cycle. Once the follicle releases the lash, if no longer stimulated by Latisse, the growth cycle returns to normal. Once you stop using Latisse, it may be awhile until your lashes return to their normal. The great thing about Latisse is that once you get the lashes you want,... more

How long to use Latisse

Latisse works by increasing the amount of time each eyelash hair remains in the growing phase. The growth phase of an average eyelash hair is approximately 1 to 2 months and at any given time approximately 41% of eyelash hairs are in the growing phase. After three or four months, Latisse can be used much less frequently to maintain longer, thicker lashes. I recommend to my patients that they continue application of Latisse twice weekly for as many years as they wish to continue to have... more

How long latisse lasts

Latisse causes melanocyte hyperplasia, which causes your lashes to grow longer, thicker, and darker. once you stop it, the lashes go back to the way they were. it takes about 3 months for a lash to grow out fully, which means it takes 3 months for full effect to be realized, and then 3 months for it to go back to the way it was (as your new lash w/o latisse grows out) the only way to get the effect for free would be in our practice, when i give a year's supply of latisse (worth... more
