Skip Latisse for a Month?

Question

Now that I have the lashes I want, can I taper down my Latisse use? I've been using latisse for 3 months. I love it!! My lashes look great! They are longer and thicker! Can I stop using it for awhile? Use every other day? Or skip a month now since I have the results I want? Or do I need to keep using daily? Thanks!

Joseph A. Eviatar, MD, FACS · Answer

Latisse is recommended to be used daily. However, once the product is used daily, a lot of patients have cut it back to every other day. Usually, you need to use it at least a few times a week. You can&rsquo;t really skip a whole month because the thickness and darkness of your lashes will go away. But, a lot of patients do start to cut back even though it is recommended to use it daily.

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

Once you've used Latisse for 3-4 months and have the fabulous new lashes you've been waiting for you should be fine using it less often.  Most of our patients have found that every other night or even every third (2-3 times per week)  in some cases seems adequate. If you stop using the product completely your lashes will go back to their normal, former state.

It is recommended that Latisse be used once a day for four months. Following this, patients can taper the medication.  The maintenance dose varies from one individual to another. Most patients continue to have adequate lash growth with use of Latisse three times a week.

Peter A. Aldea, MD · Answer

Once your lashes reached their desired length you can taper the use to every Other day or twice a week. That would keep many follicles in the growth phase and preserve your results.

Follow the doctor's instructions from whom you purchased the Latisse. I recommend after 3 to 4 months of daily use to slowly decrease use at night to 3 times a week than 2 times a week - FOREVER!.
