Does Latisse Grow NEW Eyelashes

Dear Patient from Vancouver,

Latisse does not necessarily cause new eyelashes to grow. A better description of its effects would be that Latisse wakes up sleeping eyelashes. All the hair in our body cycles through various phases of growth and rest.

Latisse causes those hairs in the resting phase to wake up and start growing again.

This is how this interesting medicaiton has its effects.

Good luck with your treatment.

Sincerely,

Adam J. Scheiner, M.D.

Latisse keeps
the eyelashes in their growth phase. After 8 weeks use, clients can generally
see their lashes becoming longer, thicker and darker. These results will be
maintained with the continued use of Latisse. Once you cease use of the product,
the lashes will return to their original state.  
 

As suggested by the other experts, Latisse does not appear to grow new eyelashes. Instead, it simply enhances the growth of eyelashes that are already there making them longer, thicker, and darker. 

I hope that helps!
