Latisse for Small, Sparse Eyelashes - Michigan

Used Latisse faithfully for about 2 months.  I did notice a difference; however, I had a side effect that I did attribute to Latisse at first.

I started developing very sharp pains in my head. They would happen throughout the day and only last a split second but it was like someone took an knife and stabbed me in the head.  I was very worried I had a brain tumor or something.

I had a CAT scan with the dye; nothing was found. I was sent to a neurologist.  We had a long talk and I went through more testing. He could find no indicators anything was wrong with me.  He told me to lay off the Latisse and see what happened. Well, that was it. It was a side effect of the Latissed.

Needless to say I was very disappointed because I liked my eyelashes. I have decided to continue using it  - but not every single day.  Even when I use it for three days in a row know the pains come back.  So . . . that is my story.

It does work, but for some like me - there are side effects.

I've been using Latisse for almost a month now. There is a slight difference. I look forward to seeing what the next couple months will bring. My eyelids are just a little red. Eyes do get little bloodshot sometimes but I use eye drops to help with the red. I seemed to notice that more in the first week or two than later. They warn you all this will happen so it's up to the individual on whether they can deal with that.

Like someone else, I have not noticed so much thickness but more length but it's only been one month. I used to have a small bare spot with no lashes and that has filled in so I know it's working.

I had very small sparse lashes so I'm probably the type of person who will be the most happy with the results.

I took someone's advice on here and put the two required drops into the cap of the solution so I could actually dip the brush in. I think it saves on solution. I rinse the cap out before putting on. They say to use a clean brush per eye but I use the same brush so there is more saturation. I have had no problems doing that.

I use make-up remover which is creamy so before I put on the solution, I use a little soap and water to clean near the lash line to make sure the face wash is off.

I honestly can't say I will continue paying this kind of money on my eyelashes for the rest of my life but it will be fun for a while. I guess once you stop using it, your eyelashes just revert back to the way they were. I'm sure as time goes on, this stuff will become a lot cheaper to use.
