Is using Latisse for hypopigmentation permanent?

Question

I have some minor hypopigmentation and I have heard that Latisse+microneedling can be used to repigment. I'm looking into trying it but I'm intrigued to know if the results are permanent or is it something to do more continuously?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Latisse (bimatoprost) is primarily known for its use in promoting eyelash growth, and while some anecdotal evidence suggests it may help with repigmentation when used in conjunction with microneedling, its effectiveness and permanence for this purpose are not well-established in scientific literature.

Hypopigmentation treatments can vary in their results and longevity. In some cases, the repigmentation achieved through such treatments may not be permanent and could require ongoing maintenance. Additionally, individual responses to treatments can differ significantly.

I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to discuss your specific condition and explore the most effective and evidence-based treatment options for hypopigmentation.
