Latisse can be purchased at most pharmacies. However, it is a prescription drug so you would need a prescription to get it. It is considered cosmetic, so it is not covered by insurance or prescription plans. It usually costs around $120.
Nearly all pharmacies, including CVS, carry Latisse. The cost runs between $100-150 with most places selling it at $120. It requires a prescription. However, I doubt most physicians that write prescriptions or sell it out of their offices require repeat office visits for a prescription unless there has been a side effect. I believe all my patients have asked about it in conjunction with the main reason they consulted me, rather than set up a specific appointment regarding Latisse. The initial prescription should last two months but after that, a prescription could last about four months since your lashes would have already grown in, and not need daily application. There is a way to make Latisse last longer. Use your own lash liner or buy a cheap one at the makeup counter. This will soak up less of the product than using the one suplied by Allergan. The stuff really does work. I keep threatening to take a weed wacker to trim down our aesthetician's lashes!

Yes, it is safe to wear lash extensions and use bimatoprost (Latisse or Lumigan) at the same time. Latisse will make your own lashes grow longer and more full, but they are your lashes and you think of them the same way you do now. Because your lashes become longer and more full, you may not...
If you had permanent eyeliner in the past, then Latisse can be used without any problem. The question of when after permanent eyeliner can you begin Latisse suggests that one might want to do both. Since Latisse is so successful at making eyelashes thicker, longer, and darker -- and since...
This has probably diluted the product so much that it is not effective. Latisse must be applied along the lash line, not the lashes themselves, to be effective.
Latisse is only FDA approved for the eyelashes, however there are reports that it can achieve an improvement for brows as well. The side effects may include darkening of the brows and the skin in the area. Please talk to the doctor who prescribes your Latisse before using it on the eyebrows.
