Latisse Applicators - How to Make Them Last

Using the minimum amount of Latisse necessary per application will yield more treatments per bottle and will minimize the risk of eyelid irritation from excess product. Tip: turn the cap of the Latisse bottle upside down, and place one drop of Latisse into the cap. Then, dip the tip of your brush into the solution and apply it precisely to the upper lashlines. You'll find that only the one drop is necessary to treat both eyes. After a few seconds, blot any excess solution from your eyelids and the outer corners of the eyes to prevent irritation or unwanted pigmentation from developing there.

Good question gapeachy!

There are definitely far more drops in the bottle than applicators in the box.  Two ways our patients (and staff)  have reported dealing with this issue and none have resulted in any problems:  1)  reuse the same applicator (just one) for the entire bottle.  This actually conserves product with each use and doesn't seem to pose any risk of infection or contamination because you don't actually dip the brush in the Latisse and you should be applying it to a freshly cleaned lid.  2) Along the same line of thinking as #1, some patients have opted to disregard the included applicators altogether and go with a very small makeup brush or eye makeup applicator. (also reusing the same one)   These aren't the indications on the package but our patients have been extremely happy and no one has reported any infections, etc.

Good luck! Enjoy your new long lashes!
