How does Latisse work and why is it only temporary?

According to studies, Latisse lengthens, thickens and darkens eyelashes via a process that isn't fully understood. Eyelashes sprout, grow for a while and then fall out, Latisse extends the growth phase and increases the number of hairs that sprout.Your hair won't disappear upon stopping use, they will just slowly go back to the way they were before you started using the product.  Latisse makes your existing eyelashes grow longer, darker and thicker so when you stop using this "enhancing" product your eyelashes will just go back to normal. 

Thank you for your question about Latisse.Latisse does not grow brand new eyelashes but helps lengthen, strengthen and thicken the grow of existing eyelashes.



To be sure this right for you, see two or more licensed
and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make
sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these
treatments.



I hope this helps.

The active ingredient in latisse is the same as a very popular glaucoma medication that reduces eye pressure.  Once latisse is stopped, it's effect on eyelashes wears off.  An ophthalmic plastic surgeon is the ideal doctor to follow your progress and decide what is the best eyelash regimen for you.  Best of luck!

Sure! Latisse increases the
growth cycle and it can take up to 3 months to see that translated into longer
lashes. Likewise, once the medication is stopped, the growth cycle returns to
its normal duration so once the hairs fall out, the new ones grow in at
their normal length of growth cycle and so the hairs revert back to their
previous length.

Hello there,Latisse works by increasing blood supply to the hairs on your eyelash line. Because of this, your hairs are able to grow faster, thicker, and longer - boosting your hair growth cycle. Once you stop the Latisse, your hairs will slowly go back to the way they were before. You will not lose your hairs. I hope this helps!
