How long to use Latisse
We are curious whether or not there was a link with Latisse and your belief that the product caused your lashes to fall out. You may want to discuss this with the prescribing physician to determine if you are using and applying the product correctly and whether or not there are other factors involved.
With regards to length of time before reaching optimal results - the suggestion of 8 weeks is not a good benchmark for many as it is not unusual to require 12 or more weeks. The...

Use it every day until you achieve results you want, then reduce every-other-day
I suggest you use Latisse every day until you achieve the results you want, then you can reduce to every-other-day to maintain.

Latisse
Latisse should be used every day for the first 8 weeks and then may be switched to a maintenance schedule of 3 times a week. You can tailor this further to your needs -if you notice that it isn't as full then use it more or alternatively, less often to maintain the fullness of your new lashes.

Proper use of Latisse
Latisse should be applied to the base of the upper eyelashes once daily for at least 8 weeks. The full effect of Latisse may take up to 16 weeks. Once you have reached the desired length and fullness of your lashes, you can change to a maintenance regimen one to three times a week to keep that desired effect (your physician should be able to help guide this process). When used properly, most of my patients have had great results.

The growth of eyelashes is cyclical, going through 3 stages: a growth phase, a transition phase, and a resting phase. At any given time, numerous hair follicles can be found...

Using Latisse Daily
Hi Orange Patty,
For the best results Latisse should be applied to the top lash line every day. It usually takes about 8 weeks to see results but it can take up to 12 weeks to work. Using it consistently is very important. My Office Manager used it when it first came out and didn't see any results because she was only applying it two or three times a week. When she used it daily she saw a tremendous result and is now a huge believer.
Your best bet is to keep applying it once a...
