Can I use minoxidil 5% and latisse on my eyelashes?

Question

I used to use latisse for 2 years and my eyelashes were perfect, very long and thick, but I stopped using it 5 months ago and they are very shorts and I've been using latisse for 2 weeks and no results, I'm desperate to have my lashes back so I wanna mix these products to grow faster, is it fine to do this?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Latisse takes 12-16 weeks to start to take effect, i often combine this with PRP topically or injected and get better results.  Take viviscal as well.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The combination of minoxidil and Latisse has not been studied. I don't advise use of minoxidil on the eyelids.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

I personally would not recommend using Minoxidil near your eyes. I would stick with the Latisse since that is proven in efficacy and safety. It takes about 8 weeks to start seeing results from Latisse and 16 weeks for full effects. Stick with what is safe. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot
