After 16 Weeks of Latisse Will the Maintain Process Continue to Grow Your Lashes?

Question

After 16 weeks of using Latisse, will your lashes continue to grow in the maintain process?

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

It does take approximately 4 months to see the maximum results with Latisse, though you must still continue to use it to maintain these results.  We usually recommend using it daily or every other day to properly maintain and upkeep the results.  Once you stop using Latisse, you lashes will slowly go back to normal.  Long term use is key to maintaining your Latisse result.

After 16 weeks, you have probably achieved the maximal growth of your lashes.  To maintain your long lashes, continue to use Latisse 2 to 3 times per week.  Once you stop, your lashes will gradually return to their regular length.

Latisse works only while it is being used. Once it is stopped, eyelashes will revert back to their original size, thickness, and colour. After 16-20 weeks or so, maintenance treatment (e.g. 2-3/week of use) will maintain the improved eyelashes that were obtained with nightly therapy.

Dina D. Strachan, MD · Answer

Once you have achieved the maximum effects of Latisse you must continue to use it to maintain them. Eyelashes, like the hair on your head and other parts of your body, cycle. It grows, rests, and then, falls out. Latisse works on lengthening the growth phase. The new eyelashes must be exposed to the drug in order to have lengthening of their growth phase.

Peter Schmid, DO, FAACS · Answer

Thanks for your inquiry. Because Latisse works on the lashes that are in the "growth" phase, discontinuing it will eventually reverse any results you see. Long term usage is needed for long term results.
