Develop resistance to Latisse?

Question

Been using Latisse for one year. Amazing results until recently. Is it possible to develop a resistance to the medicine? — Not exposed to sunlight or drastic change in temperature — Started a new bottle without improvement

Deborah M. Longwill, DO · Answer

For some patients Latisse can stop working after using for a long period of time and can build a resistance. In cases like this I recommend trying again with Latisse in about 6 months. It is best to consult with a dermatologist in your area for a personal evaluation.

Latisse results may plateau. A combination approach is needed. In combination with Latisse, I typically inject and apply topically PRP for a few treatments at the beginning to improve the growth rate of the lashes. Take viviscal as well. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

You may have reached the maximum effect but if you are regressing that would be rare. You may want to send the bottle to the company for analysis. Make sure the product is in date.
