How to Get a Latisse Prescription
I read that you have to have a prescription to get the Latisse eyelash growth stuff, but will a doctor give it to anybody? Can I just walk in and ask for the Latisse, or would I have to "qualify" somehow to be given a prescription (eyelashes less than a millimeter long) or something?

Latisse prescribing information
Latisse is a new medicine, bimatoprost 0.03%, used for underdevelopment of the eyelashes.
It is recommended on the upper eyelid only.
It can have a temporary darkening effect on the skin itself which is reversible, and an effect on the pigmented portion of the eye that is not reversible.
Eye irritation occurs in about 4% of patients.
Patients with alterations to intraocular pressures may be at special risk using the product.
I suspect Latisse will be used off label for cosmetic lengthening...

No Latisse prescribing qualifications per se regarding eyelash length
Latisse is a prescription drug and therefore requires a physical examination before receiving it. If you are not already a patient, you will need to come by the office for a brief (no-charge) visit. Be wary of doctors offices or medspas that do not require that you be a patient or have an exam or a prescription or buying it online. It is illegal to dispense an FDA controlled drug in this fashion. And, of course, this should not be given out or sold by salons, spas, or other non-licensed,...

Before using Latisse, it is advisable to have a consultation with a doctor and to be clear that you understand how to use Latisse and the possible side effects. In some states Latisse can be purchased directly for a doctor's office. In New York state, however, physicians cannot dispense Latisse.

Prescription for Latisse Montreal
In Montreal Latisse prescriptions can be obtained through any doctor. However, most doctors, including many plastic surgeons, dermatologists and ophthalmologists are not yet very familiar with this product as it has only been available in Canada for two months. I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with a specialist who is very familiar with Latisse and whose staff can properly teach you the proper method of application. The doctor can also advise you...

See your facial plastic surgeon to learn more about Latisse
The lash plumping effect of Latisse was discovered inadvertently. This eyedrop was introduced to treat certain eye conditions that effect the elderly. Patients and doctors observed in elderly men that this eyedrop was associated with the growth of long, full eyelashes. Suddenly, there were lots of older guys growing voluptuous lashes. Allergan keenly recognized this effect and developed Latisse, a similar product that enhances lash growth.
The best way to get Latisse is to visit your facial...

Most patients can get Latisse via distributing doctor's office
Latisse is essentially a cosmetic medication that will be dispensed in the doctors' offices. Let's face it, short eyelashes are not a medical condition that requires treatment any more than, say, a couple of wrinkles around the eyes. However, if somebody wants to have better looking eyelashes, we now have an FDA approved medication.
It has the same component that the Revitalash and several other lash lengthening products had originally. It is also the same component as a glaucoma medication....

Latisse prescription
While any physician can write a prescription for Latisse, I would recommend having a consultation with someone who has experience with the product. They will help determine if you are a good candidate for Latisse. Most physicians who have a lot of experience with Latisse also dispense it in their practice. You should be aware that in most cases, the pharmacies charge more than a physician's office will.

Talk with a physician
I would certainly talk with someone who has experience with Latisse and obtain your prescription from them. This includes optometrists, ophthalmologists, plastic surgery, facial plastic surgeons, and dermatologists. They will be best to determine if you are a candidate and discuss the risks of the medication with you.

At the minimum, your first Latisse prescription should be obtained from a board-certified ophthalmologist, dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can have a quality consultation reviewing the pros and possible side effects of the medication, e.g. eye irritation, unlikely scenario for blue eyes to get darker.

Latisse is by prescription in New York
Latisse is a prescription medication and therefore you need to have a doctor write that prescription for you. In my practice, I do not just prescribe Latisse for anyone calling asking for it. They must come in and see me in consultation as I prefer only to prescribe it to clients that are patients. Once an established patient, we do not require that they make a visit just for the prescription. I feel that it is important to discuss with people how latisse works, the possible side effects...

Just like Botox, Restylane and other cosmetic products, Latisse is a prescription drug and you need to be evaluated by your physician, a physician's assistant or a nurse practitioner before being given a prescription to purchase Latisse.
