A few weeks ago, I decided to try eyelash extensions. Looking back completely regret the decision, I have always had long eyelashes. Last week, when I was at the beach my left eyelash was caught on something and when losing the extensions it pulled 99% of my natural lashes out as well. When having the other extension removed, all lashes were lost as well. Currently, only a few lashes remain on each eyelid :( If I were to use Latisse, would it assist in helping my lashes grow back?

How awful for you! I know you must be feeling a bit frantic.
The Trauma induced may delay your lash growth more than what would normally occur - even with Latisse used as a growth booster. If the lashes were pulled out by the hair root instead of being broken off at the skin line, you will indeed have to wait for things to start growing. Latisse will prolong the length of time lash hairs are in the growth cycle, but they must BE in the growth cycle first.
Latisse should help, but realize that any lash that was in a resting phase will still have to wait its biological turn in the growth cycle.
If your eyelid is swollen or raw, wait to start Latisse until the skin is normal and healed completely. Latisse is not designed to be used on wounded skin and could prove irritating to tissue that has already been traumatized.
I hope you will update this community as you progress. You aren't alone in experiencing this problem with lash extensions.

Answer: Hair loss
The question is do you still have viable hair follicles? I think you probably do. So, I would definitely try Latisse. You need to be patient with it.
