I used Latisse and now I have hairs in the corner of my eyes. Will they go away?

Latisse cause hair growth where it is applied.  Many of my patients use it on their eyebrows, in addition to their lash line.   The run-off from the Latisse you used on your lash line caused hairs at the corners of your eyes to grow.  You may find that using a fine, disposable eyeliner brush rather than the brushes that come with Latisse might help you get a more precise application of the product.  (Make sure to use a new, clean brush for each application to avoid any potential for infection.) 

Thank you for your question.Latisse is used to grow hair, so that is normal result. If you stop using the Latisse, the eyelashes will eventually stop growing in that area. 

Unfortunately, hair growth outside of treatment area is listed under precautions. Latisse causes hair growth with longer, lusher eyelashes appearing over time. As long as Latisse treatments are continued, there is a good chance of the small hairs in the corners of your eyes growing back. If your treatments have stopped, they should not continue to grow if they were not growing there before Latisse. 

Hello Emerlyy,Thank you for your question.  Latisse prolongs the growth cycle of lashes so the length of normal lashes grows for longer in all areas where the Latisse is applied.  As plucking usually doesn't damage the  hair root, you should expect that those lashes in the corner of her eyes will grow back and grow to be about the same length as they were before you plucked them.  If you stop using Latisse, after your lashes all fall out, they will grow out to be the length they were before you started using Latisse (this also means the lashes in the corners of the eyes will be shorter as well).  Hope this helps.All the best,Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACSBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

When Latisse is applied to the upper lash line, there is potential for some runoff to go in the inner corner of the eyes. It may be difficult not to blink after applying Latisse, so use tissue to remove any excess. Latisse may increase the fine lash hairs and can grow back after plucking them. Most likely discontinuing Latisse will allow your eyelashes to return to what they were pre-treatment.

As long as you are using Latisse, you will continue to see increase in growth, but if you discontinue using the product, your lashes will eventually return to their original state and the fine hairs growing on the corners of the eye will be reduced as well.  Try using a smaller amount of the solution overall and avoid the corners of the eye. The solution will migrate once applied, so you will still have even coverage. This should help.

The hairs that have grown with Latisse are dependent on Latisse. If Latisse is stopped they will go away. If Latisse is continued they will grow back even with repeat plucking. Eventually, they may stop.

Hi Emerlyy,Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, once you stop using Latisse you can expect your lashes and the little hairs in the corner of your eyes to return to their original state prior to Latisse application.
