Can I trim my lashes while using Latisse? (photo)

Question

My lashes have always been long, but very thin, light, and whispy at the ends. Latisse has provided wonderful results!! but my tips are still whispy. If i trim the whispy ends, will the lashes grow in thicker?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You can trim them, but it won't make them grow in thicker. Keep in mind, 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

No, trimming lashes will have absolutely no effect on the thickness. That is a common misconception.
