I have alopecia since I was 19, now I'm 38. This time, my right eye lashes have all fallen out, I look like a statue in a church. So I really need to know what can I use for having at least my lashes back. I know alopecia has no cure and I live with it day-by-day, I don't mind also not having hair in the rest of my body, but eyelashes and eyebrows, I refuse the idea. I will really need help choosing something like Latisse for my lashes recovery. Will it be ok if I buy it? Thanks, Peruvian in Montreal!!!

Latisse only affects the area in which it is applied or comes in contact with. This would be the upper eyelash line. If you are applying it to your public area, then it could encourage growth but if you are not, then it won't.
Scheduling an appointment with a specialist in hair restoration would be beneficial to ensure you receive the best results. Latisse is FDA approved specifically for eyelashes. Unfortunately it has not been approved for these other areas. Best of Luck.
Lumigan and Latisse are indicated for different uses. Latisse is used for growth of eyelashes where as Lumigan is not. Latisse should be used every evening for 3 months to see fuller, thicker lashes. You may notice a difference before or after 3 months depending on where your eye lashes are in...
