What steps do I need to take to get prescribed Latisse?

Question

My eyelashes have been falling out slowly and are very thin and short I would like to have a consult to see what steps I need to take to fix the problem

Only an in-person evaluation can determine whether you're a good candidate for LATISSE®. During your consultation, you and your provider can discuss your goals as well as possible treatments, including whether LATISSE is likely to give you the results you hope to see. If you're a candidate, you can likely get a prescription for LATISSE the same day.

In order for you to get a prescription for Latisse you would have to go to any Doctor’s office that carries Allegan Products. Look for Plastic surgeons offices and Medical Spas usually carry it. For example here in our office, we are a Cosmetic Surgery Office and we offer free skin care consults, we except walk-ins for the purchase of Latisse. Every office is different so call around before you stop by a doctor’s office.

Hello,Latisse is a great way of achieving long eyelashes.  Before using latisse I would recommend consulting with your physician and make sure Latisse is right for you.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

There are a variety of physician specialties that may carry Latisse.  These would include facial plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons and dermatologists.  You could contact an office to see if they carry it and then it would just be a matter of having a consultation before being able to start using it if you are an appropriate candidate.  Many offices sell Latisse on site.

Hello macyshipe, 
Thank you for your question.  While Latisse is generally safe for the eyes, it isn't without its side effects, including inflammation of the eyelid skin and eye irritation. As a matter of fact, the eyelash growth you get with Latisse is actually a side of effect you get when it is used as a glaucoma medication.  As an oculoplastic surgeon who is trained in ophthalmology, I prefer to examine the patient's eyes and eyelids thoroughly for signs of pre-existing dryness/inflammation or other diseases that may cause eyelash loss before prescribing Latisse. If the eye is healthy, then a prescription would be all you need to purchase Latisse. 
Hope this helps!

Getting Latisse is a quick and simple process. Please schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist so that they can determine if you are a candidate for the prescription. The prescription may be dispensed at a pharmacy or certain medical practices.

If you want to talk to a practitioner ahead of time, schedule a consultation with them. Otherwise, simply call the office in advance and ask if and when you can pick some up. Some offices even ship it!

Tahira Prendergast, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. You can get Latisse from a dermatologist OR plastic surgeon's office. Another product that works well is Lash boost from Rodan and Fields.

Here at our practice it is easy to schedule a consultation, Just a few short questions from our concierge and a appointment can be made, when you come in our team will offer you a Visia analysis which can show you exactly how long your lashes are and give a picture of what length can successfully be reached. After your consultation and determination if in fact you're a good candidate for latisse you will be shown how to properly use it and then given a one month follow up for continued monitoring using our Visia machine.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

Take the time to see a physician who specializes in hair loss. Make sure you fully understand your diagnosis and whether Latisse helps that condition or not. Finally, ask about the side effects of Latisse and how you will be monitored for these side effects.
