Will the use of Latisse make my permanent eyeliner fade a lot faster?

Question

My micro pigmentation Specialist told me that with the use of Latisse or 'Rapid Lash' my 'permanent' eyeliner will disappear a lot faster. Is this true? I would hate to find out the hard way.

No, I don't think latisse will fade you permanent eyeliner. In fact, it might even make it look darker. Be sure to follow the package directions and watch your lashes get longer and thicker. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Use of Latisse should not affect your permanent eyeliner.  Latisse can produce slight discoloration of the skin so you're eyeliner may even appear more pronounced.

Latisse is a prostaglandin analog and although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, it is believed to increase the percent of eyelashes that are in the growth phase and prolong the growth phase. This mechanism should have no bearing on the longevity of permanent eyeliner.

I have never seen latisse worsen eyeliner.  If anything it cause cause hyperpigmentation, rare, but it can happen.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Margaret Weiss, MD · Answer

No, Latisse will only affect the growth of your lashes. Because your lashes will increase in volume this may create a darker effect to the lash line but it will not manipulate or change any other permanent darkening that you may already have.
