Your daughter has a psychiatric condition. Using Latisse will not change this behavior. Latisse acts by prolonging the growth phase of lash growth not by sprouting lashes which were picked off. I would strongly recommend you consider the advice of a Pediatric Psychiatrist. Once the condition has improved or corrected, then it may be time to consider its use.
Latisse is unlikely to work for your daughter's condition. I would certainly suggest speaking with your pediatrician or a child psychologist/psychiatrist as hair pulling can indicate a psychiatric condition called trichotillomania
Picking out any kind of body hair ( scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard hair) that you know you should not do but cannot keep yourself from doing it , is called trichotillomania. Trichotillomania is not uncommon in children but unfortunately using Latisse would not help. Latisse allows the hairs to grow longer, but if they are not there to begin with, would be a wasted effort. A consultation with a child psychiatrist would most likely be helpful.
Latisse works by causing eyelashes to grow longer and thicker but will obviously not work if the eyelashes are not allowed to grow due to picking. Please discuss this problem with her pediatrician to see if counseling/psychiatric evaluation would be apropriate for her.
Latisse is a prostaglandin analog which leads to increased lash growth. I have seen no data or case reports to suggest hat it leads to clogging of pores, chalazions, etc.
Uneven application can lead to uneven results. This is how I tell my patients to use Latisse: 1.Place drop into cap of bottle. Dip applicator brush into the cap, and apply to left upper eyelid from outside corner to inside corner. You can then use the same applicator brush...
Latisse can darken and/or redden the skin in the area where it is applied, but it's temporary and will go away after you stop using it.
