So what if I stop using Latisse? Will my eyelashes go back to what they were before using latisse?

Question

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

Yes. Latisse must be used daily in order to maintain your results. Some patients, once they achieve the length and fullness that they like, reduce their use to every other day with good results, but if you stop altogether, your lashes will eventually return to their pre-latisse state. Hope this helps, Dr. Nazarian

When patients stop using Latisse the lashes return to their natural length and fullness. Some of my patients have reported using Latisse only once or twice per week to maintain the length and fullness.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

You've stated it correctly. If one stops Latisse, the length of the lashes will return to the same density as before using Latisse. Therefore, the product must be used continuously to maintain results.

William Marshall Guy, MD · Answer

Hello Angelxoxo,Latisse is a very effective drug by increasing how long the eyelashes will grow (so they get longer before falling out).  It can take a few months to really see the result.  Unfortunately, once you stop your eyelashes will return to their former length.I hope this helps and good luck.
