Why is my Latisse Not Working As Well After 6 Weeks?

ttd1205May 23, 2010
After 6 weeks, my eyelashes were so much longer but not that much darker. However, after about 3 months I actually started losing some of my eyelashes. What could make this occur, and why doesn't it make my eyelashes darker? I am using the Latisse from a Dr's office.

You should always use Latisse after you've cleansed your face and before you apply any other products. Please wait for several minutes for the product to dry before you apply any cream.

Latisse is applies by a very fine brush to the hai base of the lash line daily, does not mater when. When the length is satisfactory to patients , I tell them to apply every other day as maitainance.

   If you are experiencing any eyeball changes, I would discontinue the product and seek the exam of an ophthalmologist.

   Latisse extends the growth phase of eyelashes, but intrinsic characteristics of the eyelashes will not change like curliness.

Hi there- Check with the surgeon who performed your PRK, but in general, and as long as you follow the instructions, there should be no reason that you cannot safely and effectively use Latisse.
