Skip Latisse for a Month?

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’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.

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.

Enjoy your lashes~

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.

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!.
