No Results After 16 Weeks of Using Latisse?

I have used latisse for exactly 16 weeks but there are barely any results, i see no difference to my thin short eyelashes. My mother-in-law and i started at the same time and her eyelashes are HUGE, thick, and dramatic. why didn't we get the same results? I also forgot to use it a couple of nights last month and almost a week in a row the month before. Could missing my dose affected the growing process?

Latisse works by increasing the amount of time each eyelash hair remains in the growing phase. It is possible you are one of the small percentage of patients who will not respond to Latisse. It is also possible you have extremely slowly growing eyelash hairs and that improvement might still be seen with continued use, especially since you missed some days. I suggest you... more

Not responding to latisse

How disappointing that the treatment did not work. This is likely because you did not respond, or you could have had a bad batch of the product. You could contact the company and they may give you another bottle to try.

Latisse

There may be a few people who do not respond but, this is rare. Check with the people who sold it to you. You need to be very consistant in the early stages and use proper technique I think you should continue,.
