How Long Does Latisse Last? Are Results Permanent?

Thanks for your question -
Latisse increases lash length, thickness and darkens lashes by effecting the growth phase of your lashes.
Latisse improvements to your lashes will last approximately through a cycle of lash growth - this would be 1 - 2 months. Many patients go into "maintenance phase" applying Latisse every three days to maintain their growth.

Regarding eye color change (there is some discussion below) - when used as a glaucoma medication (different dosage and applied directly into the eye) 3 out of thousands of patients noticed that green or hazel (not blue - has to do with the pigment in the eye) got darker - of particular note none of the three patients thought the change was significant enough to stop using the medication. And this was NOT seen in the Latisse trial. This is not to say that it can't happen - I just think we should be clear on the facts.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for the great question.  Latisse is FDA approved. It contains bimatoprost 0.03% which boosts hair growth to give you longer, fuller and darker eyelashes.  It can more than double your lash fullness in a matter of 16 weeks. You can obtain a prescription through a dermatologist, who will first make sure the product is suitable for you. 
Results may not be permanent but can last a very long time.  You can always use Latisse in the future to maintain the fuller and darker eyelashes.

When Latisse is started it takes about 2 to 3 months
for the eyelashes to achieve maximal length and thickening.Once this point has been reached most
patients are started on a maintenance routine that utilizes less Latisse.It’s
important to realize that Latisse doesn’t permanently lengthen the
eyelashes.When Latisse is discontinued
it usually takes about 2 to 3 months for patients to return to their baseline.

In my practice, I find that most patients begin to see results after approximately 2-3 weeks of using Latisse each night, with optimal results occurring at week 12.  Once a patients desired lash length is achieved, I recommend using Latisse 2-3 times a week to maintain results.  If a patient discontinues the use of Latisse, they should expect their lashes to return to their original length and thickness within 8-12 weeks.

The results obtained form the proper use of Latisse can be dramatic, but they are not permanent.  Patients must continue to use the medication in order to maintain their appearance.  After stopping the medication, patients can expect their appearance to return to normal over the period of weeks to months.

Latisse stimulates increase eyelash growth, but the effect requires that you keep using the product. I generally recommend every day use for 16 weeks for maximum effect.  After that, 2 times a week is usually enough to maintain lash length and fullness 

Unfortunately, the results are not permanent if you stop the medication. Many women notice an effect after 4-6 weeks and some report really impressive growth after a few months. Some patients have had to reduce the frequency of application to limit the eyelash growth. This can be an advantage as one bottle will last longer than a month. If you stop the medication completely, your eyelash length will eventually revert back to its original appearance before Latisse was started.

Latisse works well as long as you continue using the product. If you discontinue use your lashes will revert back to the original length they were before you started using the product.

Latisse is an excellent and reliable product for lash growth, darkening and thickness. When you stop using the product, however, your lashes will revert to their previous appearance.  

The results of latisse are not permanent. The effects of latisse will persist for as long as the product is being used. Stop using the product and the eyelashes will revert to the original shape, size and color. However, over time the frequency of application from once daily to perhaps twice weekly can then be done when the desired level of growth has been achieved. It is much like botox in that you have to keep using the product for to have the desired benefits persist.

Latisse makes you lashes longer, thicker, and darker. It prolongs the growth phase, but cannot prolong it forever. At some point the lash will fall out. You need to continue the medicine to continue getting the results.
Most patients will use the medicine once a day for 4 months. After this they go into "maintanance" mode. That is, they apply three times a week insted of every day. This seems to continue getting the results.
