What Happens when One Stops Using Latisse?
As I understand it, once the desired results have been obtained, one must continue to use Latisse on a maintenance schedule. If one stops maintaining, do the new lashes fall out and the old thin out?

Latisse Long-Term Results
Latisse works by stimulating the eyelash hair follicle to grow longer, fuller, and darker.

What Happens When You Stop Using Latisse
Latisse takes about 6-8 weeks to show full effect in growing your eyelashes beautifully. Some say it takes a full 16 weeks.

When the Latisse stops so does the effect
Latisse stimulates the lash follicles to grow longer, thicker, and darker. It takes about six weeks for this to be fully stimulated, and it takes about the same amount of time for the existing lashes to cycle and fall out to be replaced by lashes similar to those prior to beginning the Latisse. In other words there is no permanent effect on lash growth, however, a smaller maintenance dose is usually only two or three applications per week depending on the individual.

Slowly thin out
Although Latisse has not been on the market long enough for most of us to see this effect, in the clnical trials it appears that there is a gradual thinning back to baseline. This action is very similar to what we see after a patient stops using Propecia for hair loss.
