Are There Good Latisse Results for African Americans ?

Latisse is safe for all skin types. Some patients may see a darkening of the skin right along the lash line. Latisse is a great way to get fuller and longer lashes!

Hi Katgirl.  There is no reason why, as an African American, that you would not expect good results from latisse.  In addition, while Latisse has been known to darken the iris in rare cases, this would likely not affect you because your eyes are already very dark.

If you want longer lashes, there is no reason you should not try this product.

This type of procedure is perfectly safe for all type of skin colors. Your doctor can assure you that it is safe.

I am not sure why you were advised against Latisse based on skin color. The iris color change question would not apply; it based on the use of a different product based on the same active ingredient placed directly into the eye for glaucoma. In a very small percentage of people with green-hazel eyes, the color changes to brown. This has not been reported to happen with Latisse.

Latisse is considered both safe and effective in all skin types, not just Caucasian skin. A consultation with your physician is important to discuss potential side effects, though they tend to be quite uncommon with Latisse.
