Can Latisse Cause Clogged Eyelash Pores?

Question

Stephen Prendiville, MD · Answer

Latisse is a prostaglandin analog which leads to increased lash growth.  I have seen no data or case reports to suggest hat it leads to clogging of pores, chalazions, etc.

Jason Hess, MD · Answer

Latisse is effective, but is not without side effects. It may cause pigment changes at the eyelid margin. Additionally, it may cause brown pigment changes to the iris. I am not aware of any issues related to clogged pores associated with it.

Carmen Kavali, MD · Answer

Latisse is a fantastic lash-grower, and I've never heard of it being associated with any type of "lash pore clogging".
