4 months post op, What Happens when You Stop Using Latisse?

Once you discontinue the use of Latisse, your lashes will eventually return to their original state prior to the use of Latisse. Discontinuing the product will not cause them to fall out.

Thank you for the great question.  Latisse is FDA approved. It contains bimatoprost 0.03% which boosts hair growth to give you longer, fuller and darker eyelashes.  It can more than double your lash fullness in a matter of 16 weeks. You can obtain a prescription through a dermatologist, who will first make sure the product is suitable for you. 
Results may not be permanent but can last a very long time.  You can always use Latisse in the future to maintain the fuller and darker eyelashes.

Once you stop using Latisse, your eyelashes will begin to return to how they were before you began using Latisse.

Your lashes will return to their original state once you stop using Latisse, and this happens gradually.

Once you stop using Latisse your lashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months. You won't lose your eyelashes beyond what they were when you started Latisse, but they will gradually lose their length and fullness upon discontinuing the product.

Once you discontinue using Latisse, your lashes will slowly go back to their original state. You won't lose your eyelashes, but they definitely will not be as thick, long, and full after a few weeks once you stop using Latisse.

 

The eyelashes grow in a 4 month cycle so if you stop the product you will see a decrease in the amount and length of the hairs of the eyelashes.  Some patients will try to apply 3 times a week instead of daily to save on cost.  Also remember that you do not need to apply to the lower eyelashes just the upper eyelashes.

 

Hi there-
All hair grows in 3 stages of a cycle (the hair cycle)... If you stop using Latisse, the new lashes that replace those lost each day will no longer be under the stimulus of Latisse and therefore will be the original length that your lashes naturally grow to. You should not experience complete loss of your eyelashes.
Latisse is a medication, and does have a few rare risks which you should discuss with your prescribing physician, but this is not one of them.
Enjoy your new lashes!

Latisse will make your eyelashes grow thicker, longer and darker over the course of treatment. If you stop using Latisse after four months, your eyelashes will not all fall out; just like any other hair, your eyelashes have a growth cycle so they will just slowly return to their normal state. If you want to extend the amount of time your Latisse lasts, you can start applying Latisse every other night after you have reached the desired length and fullness of lashes. “Dr. D”

Latisse users can expect to experience longer, fuller, and darker eyelashes beginning at eight weeks, with full results present in 16 weeks. Continued use of Latisse is necessary to maintain long, thick, dark eyelashes, as discontinuation will gradually return eyelashes to their pretreatment appearance. You will not lose your eyelashes, but they will go back to their original state.
