What Happens when You Stop Using Latisse?
What happens if you stop using Latisse after 4 months? Do you loose your eyelashes and have to wait for them to grow again? Do your eyelashes go to their original state? I have good eyelashes - would love to see them longer/darker so I don't have to wear mascara if I don't want to but don't want to risk losing them.

What happens if I stop Latisse?
Latisse stimulates lashes.
The eyelash cycle is about 4 months. If you were to stop cold turkey, the results will stop after 4 months, though you'd likely see the changes reversing much earlier.
It is a product which needs to be maintained to maintain the results. If trying to save money, I would suggest spacing out the application to every other day or every third day.

You will lose the benefit over time, but should not lose all lashes
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!

Your lashes will go back to your "normal" if you stop Latisse
Latisse stimulates lashes to grow which makes them thicker, fuller and longer. When the treatment is stopped the effect lasts about one month. After that your lashes will gradually go back to how they were before treatment.You should discuss this with your cosmetic physician, but stopping the medication should not be a problem.
