Hi all , a year ago i noticed my eyelashes were thin and short , in the past i had much longer and thicker lashes , i searched online and watched videos on youtube and i found many talking about Latisse, well i could not find it where i live , but i found the same thing and much cheaper called Lumigan 0.3mg/ml eye drops solution it is the ecact solution as Latisse and it is called " biamatoprost " , i used it every night for few weeks and yes my lashed got longer .see the before and after images. i was not that happy about it since It made the area around my eye very very Dark , that is one of the side effects of Latisse and Lumigan it is even written in the leaflet, the other side effect is the darkening of the iris , well I did not notice that since i have Dark eyes to start with.
since i stoped using it my lashes are back to thin again , will i use it again ,maybe not,this is great for women for sure , they can always use makeup around the eyes if it gets darker .. . I hope this helps .

when i was using this stuff it also made my eyes Red... and i read that one of the side effects of this stuff it can make you eyes sunken , well before i started this i had some fat loos under the eyes but it has become way worse and deeper , now looking to fix that maybe with fillers.

The exact same thing happened to me. Thank you so much for verifying my fear that it was the Latisse doing this!

May I ask, how often did you use Latisse and how did you apply it?
March 3, 2020
But you're not supposed to use it on the lower lashes. Maybe doing that aggravated the fat loss.

You are not supposed to apply it to your eyeball man! It just goes on the base of your upper eyelash with an applicator brush and you have to be careful when putting it on...wipe extra off lid if any gets on...sounds like you guys were using it as eye drops

I’ve done further research and found that these side effects were reported by a majority of users. I will stay away

Your eyelashes definitely grew longer and looked great but I get why you would be cautious to use it again. How long did you use the product before you decided to stop? Sounds like a few months maybe? Is that like 3 months or like 6 months?

Hi Jill , Thank you, I used it for about for less than 2 months only and i stopped , yes my eye lashes got longer but as i said i got the side effects , I had to stop it.

so discouraging I started using latisse in mid July mainly to help fill out a little bald spot I had... ive noticed my lashes are much thinner and fall out more easily and the lashes that have grown back are extremely thin and awkward.... I still have a bald spot.... I read that it DOES NOT cause follicle damage of the eyelash hairs however why is this happening? is eyelashe regrowth possible have discontinued use?

How long until your eyelashes grew back?? I notice I'm losing so many eyelashes from my right eye with this , please help me and tell me what I can do to make them grow
February 24, 2015
your lashes should grow back however it may take some time for them to recover... it took mine nearly 6 months...

Hi! thank you so so much for sharing! i am having this issue as well. I have lost nearly all my lashes on my left eye and a many on my right but is not nearly as bad as the left! Your story is the only success story i have heard. My lashes were so think they have been falling out for 6 months (about 8 or 9 a day) and they are really looking sparse now. I pray that it reverses because i hate the way i look now

Instead of stopping use of Latisse altogether, I cut back to once every 3 days - and my eyelashes still seem to be growing. The darkness has even subsided a bit - BUT not altogether, and it's at it's worst the day after applying the Latisse. Makeup does help, but I think it's aging. Without Latisse people thought I was about 30 - with Latisse and makeup, I look more my age of 49.
It's only been 2 weeks, so I'll still deciding what to do. Am leaning towards quitting the Latisse right now though, and just sticking with mascara to get longer lashes. The hyperpigmentation's been a real bummer :(
