It is best not to use any topical or oral medication while trying to get pregnant without your Ob's say so. Latisse is a low dose topical Prostaglandin analog and its absorption into the bloodstream is likely to be low, but why take a chance?
To be on the safe side, I would recommend you stop using Latisse while pregnant. There is no research indicating the impact of the product on pregnancy, so it's always better to be safe than sorry.
No. One should not use Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic) during pregnancy or lactation. It is a Class C drug, animal studies showed adverse effects, but no human studies. Cosmetic treatments should be avoided during pregnancy. Speak with your obstetrician regarding any concerns.
I don’t think it’s a problem to use Latisse if you are planning on getting pregnant. But, you should read the package insert because it’s probably not recommended during pregnancy.
There are very few drugs being tested for safety with pregnancy. Rather than spending millions to look at safety record in pregnancy and many more millions in subsequent lawsuits due to our flawed medical justice system, the vast majority of drug companies prefer NOT to test but simply advise you not to try it if you are pregnant or trying to be and save themselves the headaches. You will find this with many other drugs so proceed only after checking with your OB.
One very rare risk is an increase in brown pigmentation, however I haven't heard about brown eyes turning lighter. This should be checked out by your opthamologist.
Yes, you will have to see a licensed doctor to obtain a prescription for Latisse, because you will have to first undergo an examination and review of your medical history to make sure the product is safe for you. Latisse is not suitable for everyone.
You won't have to "wash off" latisse because it gets absorbed by your upper lash line. Nothing will be there in the morning to wash off, so you can put on your makeup as usual.
You should always use Latisse after you've cleansed your face and before you apply any other products. Please wait for several minutes for the product to dry before you apply any cream.
