Can I Still Wear False Lashes While Using Latisse?

Question

Martie Gidon, MD, FRCPC, FAAD · Answer

Yes, you can wear false eyelashes while using Latisse.  Just be careful to not pull out your own lashes while removing the false ones.  Watch for any irritation to the glue which can cause a rash.

Thank you for your question.

	Yes, you CAN wear false eyelashes while using Latisse but you run the risk of pulling out the lashes when putting the false lashes on and off so I wouldn't recommend it.

Anatoli Freiman, MD · Answer

Latisse is usually quite effective in promoting eyelashes growth, so typically artificial eyelashes are really not necessary

David A. Bray, Sr., MD · Answer

Why would you want to. The process begins in about 4 weeks so, wait. However i don't think you will hurt yourself with false eye lashes in the mean time

Lee Robinson, MD (retired) · Answer

Sure you can. It takes 16 weeks to get your optimum lashes so in the mean time it is certainly OK for you to continue to use false eyelashes. Be cautious however to not pull out the growing lashes otherwise you will compromise your Latisse results. I have had a few patients use extensions and just trimmed them as needed as their lashes filled in.
