Why can't I put latisse on my lower lashes?

Although latisse is only approved to be used on the upper lashes, the reality is that once you apply it and then blink your eyes, some will transfer to your lower lashes making it work there as well. Hope this helps, Dr. Nazarian

Hello, Thank you for your question. Latisse will be naturally transferred to the lower eyelashes by blinking. Speak to your prescriber for more information. Take care. 

Thank you for your
question.It is not recommended to apply Latisse on your lower lashes. To be sure what is best for you, see two
or more 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
treatment.I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.Latisse is only approved to be used on the upper lashes.It is always best to follow the instructions of your physician to get the best result.Hope this helps!

Latiesse is only FDA apporved for the upper lashes. It works by increasing the blood flow to the lashes, sometimes causing a slight darkening of that skin. If you look closely the darkening is really small vessels, you do not aesthetically want to add darkness under the eye. When applying latiesse, your lower lashes will get some of the product when you blink. Most patients see an improvement in the upper and lower lashes.  

The lower lashes can grow and curl up and poke your eye causing a corneal abrasion. I suggest avoiding this.  Best, Dr. Emer.

When Latisse is applied to the upper lashes, there normally is some transfer of the product to the lower lashes, which can bring improvement there.  It is normally not necessary to apply it directly to the lower lashes.  

LASTISSE is indicated for placement on the upper lashes.  When you blink a small amount will get onto your lower lashes.  It can cause hyperpigmentation of the skin so you only want to place the minimum effective dose to your lashes and avoid large areas of eyelid skin.

Latisse is FDA approved for upper lash use.  Typically when applying the Latisse at night time when you sleep the upper lashes will touch your lower lashes and a small amount will transfer to them.  This will bring some marked improvement to the lower lashes.

Although, Latisse is FDA approved for upper eyelids, it also works to thicken lower eyelids as well.  However, you don't have to put Latisse on the lower eyelids.  When you close your eyes enough of the medication will transfer to the lower lashes and you will still get the effect on the lower lashes.  (A little trick - if you rub the applicator on the eyebrows after treating the eyelids, it will help thicken the brows as well).  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
