You may not need your lash extensions any longer

Most Latisse users find that they only need to use it a few times per week once it has had its effect at about 8 weeks, and in patients who were using Lumigan for glaucoma where this effect was discovered, they actually have to trim their lashes to keep them from getting too long.

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. Latisse will make your own lashes grow longer and more full, but they are your lashes and you think of them the same way you do now. Because your lashes become longer and more full, you may not feel that you need lash extensions after you begin using Latisse.
