$120

Cons: red eyes; dry eyelids near lash line; initially I could see the difference but after 2 months my mature lashes seem to be coming out very easily.

Pros: initially saw results in less than a month

I have suffered from untreated trichotillimania (lash pulling) for decades. I initially saw some results with Latisse within the first 3 weeks, but after 2 months the seemingly mature lashes 9longest) are falling out on their own. Are my lash follicles too damaged from the pulling?

I also deal with trichotillimania. I have been using revitalash and have noiced the same problem! I thought it was just me. It seemed wierd that my lashes too would fall out easy after using product. And this was without me pulling :)

Trichotillimania is a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) This can be treated with certain anti-depressants. I have a friend who had excellent results from her medication. Maybe this is something you could consider. Best Wishes

I also have the suffer from trichotillimania. I just started my first day on Latisse and I'm already feeling it working. I see little stubs coming in. I'm really hopefully this product will work so I can feel normal again. If they start to fall out on their own I'm going back to speak to my dermatologist. Hopefully I can break my habit of pulling. :)

I am 50 years old and have suffered from tricho since about the age of 12. I have been able to control off & on. Now that I am at the age where hair in general starts to thin, the lashes that grow in are very thin and some even grow in with no color - white. I am sticking with the Latisse because the literature & the ads say full results in 12-16 weeks. The lashes do seem to grow in faster if only they would grow in & stay in all at the same time. I haven't been pulling them either. I know, I just want to feel normal also

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am 42 and have been suffering with trich since my teenage years. I have been wanting to try something like this for a while, but was nervous about asking my doctor about some kind of treatment. Hopefully this may be a viable option for me.

Thanks so much for this post! I was diagnosed when I was 8 .. I'm 26 now and I think it's in hibernation for now.. almost everything is grown back but it's so much thinner and it's inconsistant in areas.. I really want to try this.. I hadn't heard of revitalash either. I'm seeing my dermatologist tomorrow.

Hello guest 90383, I am also a trich sufferer. I have been pulling my eyebrows and upper lid eyelashes since I was 12 years old. I am now 39. The longest I have gone without pulling has been 2 weeks. But it was very, very hard as the days went on. What do you mean that you are in "hibernation"? I am thinking of trying Latisse. But I want to be sure it will benefit me.
