Latisse after Chemo
Greetings Mound~
We've seen excellent results with the Latisse in patients that have lost their lashes to chemo. If you stop using Latisse you won't go back to having no lashes but you will return to the lash length (approximately) before you had chemo. As with any new medication, it is always best to check with your treating physician before you start. As simple as it may sound to some, having new, long fabulous lashes is a great way to getting back to feeling better...

Latisse after Chemotherapy
Typically chemotherapy will not damage the hair follicles so new hairs can grow back once chemotherapy is finished. Latisse would therefore be perfectly reasonable to use to encourage your new hair regrowth to be longer, thicker and darker.

Latisse After Chemotherapy
You can most certainly use Latisse after chemotherapy. I would speak with your oncologist, facial plastic surgeon, or ophthalmologist about the product before starting its use. Unfortunately the results will disappear after you stop using it but it will not make things worse than they are now.

Using Latisse to overcome post-chemo eyelash loss
You've been through a lot, no doubt, and the loss of your lashes certainly impacts your feelings of femininity. If you have no problems with eye health you should have no problem with Latisse. Depending on how long you were on chemo and the impact it may have made on your body's ability to grow hair, you should see some results in the typical 16 week cycle - and potentially much earlier. The only way it would not work is if your hair follicles for your lashes were damaged...

Latisse will have you 'loving your lashes' after chemotherapy
Latisse is safe and effective for post-chemo lash loss. It is important to see an ophthalmologist to make sure you are a candidate for using the product. Most patients can start it right away or start it before their chemo. It might take a little time to get the lashes to grow because they must be in their growth phase for the product to work. Once you start it there is a lasting effect until the lash falls out. As the new lash begins to grow, it will be darker, fuller...
