What Happens when You Stop Using Latisse?

Within a few weeks, your eyelashes will return to their pre-treatment state. Sometimes this can be very dramatic.

Once you stop using Latisse, your eyelashes will gradual return to the way they were before you started using the product.  You'll start to notice the go back to their normal 'shedding' cycle.  Because grow accustom to not losing lashes so quickly, sometimes they think that stopping Latisse has caused them to lose their lashes...not the case....You are just reverting back to the way they were.  If you've been using Latisse for a while and have achieved the results you want, most people can go to an every other night application for maintenance.

Latisse typically takes 4 months of continued nightly use to achieve maximum results, and I agree with others who have answered this question that maintenance therapy around every other night can maintain the longer, darker lashes.  If you quit Latisse "cold turkey,"  your eyelashes will fall out according to their natural hair cycle and be replaced with your native lashes (shorter, lighter in color, and less in number).  I have had several patients that notice an initial shedding period after discontinuing Latisse, although these are anecdotal in nature.

Just like it took 8 weeks for you to see the maximum results from using Latisse, so too will it take approximately 8 weeks for your eyelashes to return to their previous length and thickness. The results are maintained as long as you use the product...

 

Sorry.

Latisse is a wonderful product to create thicker, fuller, longer eyelashes.  The results will last as long as you continue on the product.  Once you stop using it, the results will fade.
