Thank you for the question.  Latisse is FDA approved. It contains bimatoprost 0.03% which boosts hair growth to give you longer, fuller and darker eyelashes.  You can obtain a prescription through a dermatologist, who will first make sure the product is suitable for you.

Latisse contains bimatoprost which boosts hair growth to give you longer, fuller and darker eyelashes. It is FDA approved. You can obtain a prescription through a doctor, who will first make sure the product is suitable for you. Side effects include itchiness, redness and dryness. Rare side effects include eye colour pigmentation changes.

Sanusi Umar, MD · Answer

Latisse is recommended for adults 18-65 years of age. It is a prescription drug. So you would need to be evaluated by a doctor first.

	The main ingredient of Latisse is Bimatoprost. This will extend the hair growth cycle of your eyelashes, allowing them to grow longer than they normally would. Your eyelashes do not have to be unhealthy. Latisse side effects are uncommon. But they may include: darkening of the eyelid skin, possible color change of the eyes (i.e. iris), redness and itching. You can apply Latisse in the morning, evening or any time of the day that works best for you.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Latisse can grow healthy lashes longer and fuller.   There are side effects listed on the website, which are usually reversible.
