Eyelash tinting while using Latisse. Are there any contraindications?

Question

Interested in eyelash tinting service. A large percentage of patients are using Latisse. Are there any contraindications? Thank you.

You shouldn't have any issues tinting your lashes while using latisse. The tint affects the hair that is already grown while latisse works on the hair follicle/root. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Hello!Eyelash tinting should not interfere with Latisse treatment.Lash tinting is primarily done for the lash hair shaft that has grown out of the eyelid margin. Latisse (Bimatoprost) primarily acts on the lash root follicles to enhance lash growth. Hence, these two products act at two different sites, and are unlikely to interfere with each other.It is best to apply Latisse at bedtime, after having wiped off the lash-tint (not a problem if the lash tint is a permanent dye). Hope this helps!

Latisse requires only a small drop applied to the base of the lashes for growth. Tinting would be perfectly fine since it involves the hair shaft and not the root of the hair. Warm Regards, Jennifer Murphy, MD
