Lumigan and lash extensions.

Generally you native hair should respond but I am not sure how your extensions would respond the the medication. It is likely that the active ingredient will have little if any effect. However, I am not certain if the inactive ingredients will cause any adverse reaction.

It is safe to use Latisse with lash extensions

Yes, it is safe to wear lash extensions and use bimatoprost (Latisse or Lumigan) at the same time.

Because your lashes become longer and more full, you may not feel that you need lash extensions after you begin using Latisse.
