Latisse not a treatment for lashes that are falling out

Unfortunately, Latisse is not likely to help eyelashes that are falling out.  Falling lashes are a medical problem called alopecia, and it may be due to various causes (from trauma to your body's immune response).  Latisse only lengthens already growing lashes by prolonging their growth phase, but won't change the falling out phase (telogen) back to the growing phase (anogen). See your dermatologist for treatment of alopecia.
