Can Latisse Damage Lash Follicles?

aasa
Hi! I have used Latisse for about 4-5 months and was really impressed with the results. But this week a lot of my lashes are falling out. On one eye I have lost maybe 10 lashes and have a few long, some short lashes and bold spots left. Is there some kind of explanation for this? Is it often enough to use the product 2 times a week after week 16? I have read somewhere that Latisse can cause permenent damage to lash folicles. Can you tell me about this?
