Thank you

When you discontinue Latisse your eyelashes will slowly decrease back to the original length and thickness. An option to keep long lashes is to use Latisse on a maintenance schedule which requires application 1-4 x week.

Sanusi Umar, MD · Answer

Latisse does need to be applied on a consistent and regular
basis. If you stop using the product, your lashes will return to their normal
length and fullness.All hairs in your body go through cycles of growth and rest.
This includes the lash hair in your eyelids. During the growth part of the
eyelash hair cycle, building block materials (like proteins) are harnessed and
utilized to grow the shaft. There is a certain amount of time that is allowed
for this. Latisse works by prolonging this window of time. Therefore,
stopping the use of this drug will cause the hair growth cycles to return to
their normal phases of activity. As
an alternative to, Latisse, you may want to consider an eyelash hair transplant
surgery like this patient.

If you have obtained more lash length and fullness from Latisse, the results will eventually return to how your lashes looked before Latisse if you stop using it.  It could take several weeks to months for this to occur, but Latisse needs to be continued to maintain the effect.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

If Latisse is stopped the hair will slowly return to the same length and color over many months.Latisse should be used daily for 16 weeks. After 16 weeks, many women reduce the use of Latisse to every other day or twice weekly and find they can maintain their results.
