How long have you been using Latisse?

Did you skip many applications?  Did you take photos before to get a true comparison?  Many people think they haven't benefitted from various aesthetic treatments, when in actuality their memories are deceptive.

Latisse work for everyone?

Thank you for your question. Latisse may not work for 100% of people who use it. I would recommend you using it for 2-3 months and if you still don't see any results, then you must fall within the small % of paitents whom this product does not work. Make sure you are comparing before and after photos because sometimes, it is working and the patient doesn't realize it (they forget what they started with). Best wishes.

Latisse works on the vast majority of patients to various degrees

Latisse works on the vast majority of patients to various degrees. I have not seen it not work on anyone. The issue with Latisse is that you have to use it every day for the full 4 months to see the full effect. You’re only going to see a gradual effect each day, so if you’re thinking after a month you’re going to see a big difference, you will not. It does make longer, thicker, darker lashes, but it takes four months to put them in the growth... more

Latisse efficacy

I was the first doctor in NYC to use Latisse Because I know the eye MD who patented it and licensed it to Allergan Because I used it before Allergan came out w Latisse We had to put the lumigan in a vehicle And I chose putting it in mascara Which works better than just sticking it on a brush Then it works much better Maybe because it's easier to apply so women stick with it

Does Latisse always work?

No medication, including Latisse, works for all patients.  However, most reports show a positive response rate of 85% to 90% and this is consistent with what I have seen in my practice.  Before giving up on Latisse you need to use the product for at least 12 weeks, apply it daily, and follow the instructions carefully.

Latisse works for most people

Latisse is a medicine that works for most people to create darker, thicker, and longer eyelashes. However, like with any medicine, it doesn't work for everyone - you are a non-responder, which is infrequent with this medication, but certainly possible.

Latisse may not Work for Everyone

As with any medication, there is never a 100% success rate. A relatively small percentage of people will see little to no response to Latisse so you may be one of them. You may also have very slow growing eyelashes (compared to average) and simply continuing Latisse for a longer period of time, say five to six months, may be necessary to see the results you are looking for. I recommend you continue for a while longer before giving up! If you still don't respond, that would be unfortunate... more

What if Latisse Won't Work?

After speaking with Allergan about the "failure rate" from Latisse my guess is there is a % of users that have no response. Around 12% from what I researched. Sorry you must fit into one of these non responders.

Latisse Non-responder

The company that makes Latisse does state that there are a certain percentage of people that will not get results.  If you tried it for 12 weeks and did not see any results then likely you are one of these people.  It is unfortunate as this has been a product that most women really like.  As to the reason, I have not seen any information on this.
