Lumigan and Latisse are indicated for different uses. Latisse is used for growth of eyelashes where as Lumigan is not. Latisse should be used every evening for 3 months to see fuller, thicker lashes. You may notice a difference before or after 3 months depending on where your eye lashes are in the growth cycle.
Although Lumigan and Latisse both contain the same active ingredient, Lumigan is formulated for use as eye drops (for glaucoma) and Latisse is formulated for topical application to the eyelid for eyelash growth. For that reason, they are not the same and should not be substituted.
Some improvement in eyelashes can occur with Lumigan but the FDA approved concentration is 0.03 % (which is marketed as Latisse).Using Lumigan instead of Latisse, there is a bit more uncertainty on "how much" improvement you'll get and "when" you'll see changes.You'll like have more improvement by 12-16 weeks. However, if you're not getting the results you want, be sure to speak to your physician about bimatoprost 0.03 % (which is sold as Latisse)
Please use Latisse as directed. Apply Latisse to the top lids only, close to the lash line. Use the applicators that come with the Latisse package - these applicators are sterile and clean. Do not re-use the applicators.You will start to see effects in lash length at about 4 weeks. Sometimes a few hairs fall out in the beginning of treatment because your hairs start a new growth cycle. Full effects should be seen at about 16 weeks with daily use. I hope this helps!
Latisse (not Lumigan) should be applied daily to the top eyelids only. You will start to see some small length change at about 4 weeks, but it takes a full 16 weeks of daily use to see full results in length, thickness, and darkness.

If you accidentally get Latisse in your eye immediately flush your eye with water or some type of natural tear drops. Allow the fluid to flow out of the corner of your eye. Do not irritate your eye further by touching it. You should not have any adverse effects as the active ingredient in...
Typically eyelash products have similar side effects such as, redness, irritation and itching. There should be an information sheet within the package to educate you on the product. Any further questions I would contact the provider or manufacturer of the product.
If applied as directed you should not see any signs of periorbital fat loss. Although, this can be a side effect if prolonged administration in the eye. Hope this helps.
