So there is a lot of proven information on the web about how latisse has a side effect that can bring pigment back to hypopigmentation. Some doctors from realself claiming to have tried it and say it works. So let's say i used a dermaroller on my hypopigmented scar followed immediately by latisse on the scar once a month with a twice daily application of latisse on the scar for 4 months. If the scar returns to it's natural color will it be permanent?

I recommend taking a break from Latisse. Continue using a lash serum or conditioner/strengthener to maintain healthy lashes. Give Latisse a try again in 3-6 months.
