Latisse on lower lids

No worries. It's not necessary to use Latisse on the lower lash line to have the lashes grow and it's definitely not dangerous. For patients that do experience some staining of the skin from the product, though generally not objectionable on the upper lash line (quite well liked in many cases), most patients would prefer to avoid the possibility on the lowers.

Latisse is Safe for the Lower Eyelids

It is not normally necessary to apply Latisse to the lower eyelids or eyelashes. When you blink your eyes after applying Latisse to the upper eyelids, some of the Latisse will be transferred to the lower lids. This is normal so you need not be concerned.

Latisse on the Lower Lids

It will do you no harm to use Latisse on the lower lids in addition to the upper lids. In the FDA trial, the lower lids were not included, so Latisse is only officially approved for the upper lids. Interestingly, we have found that just applying it to the upper lids also gives adequate contact of the product to the lower lids, with consequent increase in length, thickness and darkening of both the upper and lower lids.

It’s not recommended that Latisse be applied to the lower lids

It’s not recommended that Latisse be applied to the lower lids. Basically, it’s because more of the product can get in the eye and then there is a higher chance of having eye side effects. If you apply it to the lower lids by accident, there shouldn’t be any problem, but I wouldn’t do it on a regular basis.

Lower eye lid latisse

Although not recommended by the company i have some patients who have applied latisse to their lower eyelids without any adverse effects. Most have seen eyelash growth . Latisse can cause irritationand skin discoloration so just monitor for that.

Latisse to Lower Lids

You do not need to apply Latisse to the lower eyelids to have it work on the lashes there...One of the reasons to not apply to the lower eyelids is that with gravity, the drop when applied may run down one's face and cause hair growth or pigmentation of the skin.  Apply cautiously and carefully as directed by the manufacturer.

Latisse works on both upper and lower lids

Don't worry! When you apply Latisse to your upper lid lashes, it transfers to the lower lids when you close your eyes.  If you applied it directly to the lower lid lashes, it's not a problem.  The medication in Latisse is safe for the eyes, as it originally was used as eye drops.
