Will I lose my Latisse gains after missed doses for 8/9 days?

Question

I  am a longtime user (24+ mo.) of product. THANKS in advance to whomever is generous to reply! As a long-time Latisse user (24+ mo & counting) I love it... last week while traveling out of state, to my horror I ran out of product! In desperation I drew a drop of sterile water into Latisse container & shook it up hoping to eke out teensy last bit of product... that was Mon 11/19. Just got back home 11/26 & first thing I did was go pick up another bottle. I was off product for approx 8-9 days. Can I expect to lose all my gains?

Good afternoon,It is unlikely that you will lose much gain you had while on Latisse. Because you have used the product for over 2 years worst case is your lash growth slows back down until you begin use again, which you have done already. Often times my patients purchase 2 boxes at once to avoid any missed application. Enjoy your lashes. Dr. Anil Shah, MD FACS

Thank you for your question. I would not worry about missing 8-9 doses of Latisse especially if your lashes are at a length that you like. If you continue to miss doses, they will return to their "before" length but that will take many more missed doses. I hope this answered your question:)

Fortunately, you will not likely notice any effects from not using latisse for this period of time. Since the expiration dates are usually 1-2 years out, always have a back up bottle!

You should not see any major differences in growth. Glad you are having such a great result with Latisse!

Being that you are a long time user, you should be fine restarting the Latisse. There shouldn't be any major differences in growth. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. To get best results it is recommended to use the product every day for 16 weeks and then you can lower it to maintainence treatments a few times a week. It sounds like you are a very longtime user, so you should be fine restarting the Latisse and not seeing any major changes in growth or fullness.
