Latisse is not permanent but long lasting
Latisse is not permanent but it can last a long time. I have patients use it for one or two month till they see the results they want. At that time they can cut back to every third day or three times a week to maintain. The brushes that come with the product waste a great deal of the material. Smaller brushes or even a tooth pick can used to apply Latisse to the to the base of the eyelash. The whole eyelash does not have to be coated.

How long does Latisse Last?
Thanks for your question -
Latisse increases lash length, thickness and darkens lashes by effecting the growth phase of your lashes.
Latisse improvements to your lashes will last approximately through a cycle of lash growth - this would be 1 - 2 months. Many patients go into "maintenance phase" applying Latisse every three days to maintain their growth.

Latisse is not permanent
Latisse is not a permanent fix. Once you have used Latisse for the recommended 3-4 months you cannot just stop it or the lashes will return to the pre Latisse appearance. One needs to taper the medication and instead of using it every day one can try every other night or every third night. Without a maintenance dose the lashes will return to the pre Latisse appearance.

How long does Latisse last?
In my practice, I find that most patients begin to see results after approximately 2-3 weeks of using Latisse each night, with optimal results occurring at week 12. Once a patients desired lash length is achieved, I recommend using Latisse 2-3 times a week to maintain results. If a patient discontinues the use of Latisse, they should expect their lashes to return to their original length and thickness within 8-12 weeks.

Lasts the period of an average eyelash hair cycle
Latisse is generally applied once a day. By 8 weeks, one can expect thicker, fuller, longer and darker lashes. Full results can be seen by 4 months. Once Latisse is stopped, the eyelashes will gradually return to baseline. This occurs during a period of an average lash hair cycle which may take anywhere from weeks to months.

Latisse results aren't permanent
Hello,
When you stop using the medication, the lashes slowly change back to their less full state. Allergan has a good drug here it seems....good for them.
OK so I am a bit of a cynic, but a nice one!

Latisse is not permanent and the effects will wear off after stopping in 4-6 weeks.
Latisse is meant to be used continuously. Once you begin, you are essentially committing to use it as long as you want thicker, fuller, longer lashes. It takes approximately 4-8 weeks of continual use to see the beneficial effects once you start, and then 4-6 weeks to lose these effects once you stop. It would be interesting to see, once more people use it for a while, if using Latisse every other day might be effective at preventing this loss of effect. BUT, for right now, using it once...

Latisse results are not permanent
The results will last as long as you are using the drops. Once you are happy with the way your lashes look, you can stop using it and after a while your lashes will return to their normal length. Latisse is the only prescription treatment for eyelash growth that is FDA approved and is only available at doctors' offices. Besides making the lashes longer and fuller, Latisse also makes them darker, which sets it apart from other brands.

Latisse Results
A bottle of Latisse lasts between 2-3 months when used 5-6 times per week, as directed. The results are not permanent and are only guaranteed as long as you are continuing to use the product. When you stop using Latisse, your lashes will most likely return to their normal length after about of month. I generally recommend to patients that instead of discontinuing use, switch to a maintenance protocol for your lashes - cut your application in half or 2-3x weekly.

Latisse Results
Latisse is not permanent. As long as you are using latisse your lashes will continue to grow. Once you stop your lashes will shed and go back to its normal growth pattern. Just like anything you will do there is a maintenance process. Once you have your lashes at the desired length you should use only every 3rd day or 3 times a week to be able to continue the success of growth.
