Should I use it twice a day? Or if I forget at night, can I apply it the next morning?

Question

I have been using latisse for 6 weeks now and only missed three times. I haven't seen improvement yet

Julia Ann Sullivan Miller, MD · Answer

Latisse should only be used once a day at night.  If you forget a night, don't worry about it and don't double up the dose the next day, just apply it the next night as usual.  You may not see optimal results for 3-4 months so don't give up hope!

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Latisse should only be used once a day in the evening.  If you should forget to apply at night, I would recommend just skipping a dose for that day.  It can take a few months to see the results, so it is not unusual that you would not see any noticeable result 6 weeks after you began.

Todd Christopher Hobgood, MD · Answer

Hello,We recommend that our patients use Latisse once daily for visible improvement in lash length, color, and fullness. Using twice daily will really not give you any additional benefit (and it will cause you to run out of product more quickly.) I would also like to address your comment where you mentioned you had been using the product for 6 weeks. Typically, patients see the most benefit begin to appear around the 3 month (12 week) mark. Keep using, and thanks for your question!Be well,Dr. Hobgood

Hi ngocminh, thanks for your question. Use Latisse before bed. Most people see an improvement in lash length and thickness in 2-3 months of consistent use. Best of luck.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

20 % of users of Latisse don't see results. However, I would not recommend making that assessment until a given patient has used for at least 12 weeks. At 6 weeks, there certainly are a proportion of patients that don't have much in terms of results. Waiting is a good idea to be certain if a patient is a 'responder' or not.
