I've been using Latisse for about 2 months now, and I read some reviews that after 6-7 months your eyelashes will either look horrible, or they will end up falling all out. Why is that? And, since I am using latisse for 2 months now, is it okay if I switch to IDOL LASH later on in the future?

Latisse...

I have never had an of my patients complain of all their lashes falling out or looking worse after using Latisse. On the contrary, they look longe, thicker, and darker if used correctly withing 16 weeks. Latisse is the only FDA approve eyelash enhancer that has studies to prove its effectiveness. No, I would not recommend switching to another over the counter product. This will not improve your chances of getting better lashes. Good luck. Dr. Grant... more

No subsitutes for Latisse

Latisse is the only FDA-cleared product to promote eyelash growth for thicker, darker, and longer lashes. Everything else is basically makeup despite cleverly worded hype.

Latisse vs Idol Lash and other OTC Eyelash Enhancers

I have been prescribing Latisse for several years and have never heard about or seen eyelashes looking horrible or falling out due to this medication. Latisse is a prescription-only solution that has been scientifically proven to stimulate the growth of eyelashes. Many studies have been done to prove its effectiveness using unbiased observers. At present, Latisse is the only FDA approved treatment for growing eyelashes. If you look at the web site for Idol Lash it says "Idol Lash uses a... more

Latisse vs. Idol Lash

After 2 months of using Latisse, you'll be the best judge of what your lashes look like. Are they longer, thicker, and darker? I have not seen peoples eyelashes "look horrible" or "all fall out". When used correctly, Latisse does an excellent job enhancing eyelash growth with minimal risk of side effects. I have not seen or spoken to any patients who have used Idol Lash and there are no studies comparing the two. If you do give it a try, I would love to hear how it... more
