I am interested in finding out if Latisse would work to grow my eyelashes. I am 48 years old and have almost no lashes. When I was a teenager I rubbed my eyes and pulled my lashes for some time and as a result, they stopped growing back.
I have tried a few over the counter lash growth products and although they do seem to encourage some growth, my lashes never really fill in or get very long. Would Latisse be something that could help me or are there other treatments for my problem?

Latisse contains the active ingredient bimatoprost 0.3 mg/mL) It also includes the preservative: benzalkonium chloride 0.05 mg/mL, as well as sodium chloride; sodium phosphate, dibasic; citric acid; and purified water. Sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may be added to adjust pH.
You are safe using Latisse even if you have permanent makeup for your eyeliner. The only pre-existing condition discussed for Latisse is a history of abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP).
Yes, you can use mascara and other eye makeup products while using Latisse. The important thing to remember, however, is to clean your eye makeup off thoroughly before you apply Latisse nightly before you go to bed.
