How does Latisse work and why is it only temporary?

snaplol
I've been reading up on Latisse and apparently it only works as long as you are using it - meaning your lashes will return to their previous state once you stop using the product. To me this doesn't make sense. It seems strange that the hair would just disappear. Could somebody explain to me why the results of Latisse are not permanent?
