Finally there is a way to grow your own eyelashes, naturally. A new drug called Latisse has been introduced to solve this age-old problem. Made by the Allergan company, this drug is clinically proven to grow longer and thicker lashes.
Lashes 25% longer,106% thicker and 18% darker were reported at the end of a 16 week study, using Latisse. Applied to the upper eyelid only, changes were noted at the 8 week mark. With these numbers Latisse sounds like a mascara advertisement!
In the clinical study 140 members out of 280, used Latisse for 16 weeks. Applied to the upper eyelid only, Latisse was well tolerated by the group. Latisse is not recommended for use on the lower eyelashes.
Latisse will not be an over- the- counter medicine. Cosmetic use will not covered by medical insurance. Medical conditions such as hypotrichosis, would probably be covered by insurance. It will cost about $120.00 for a 30 day supply, with 60 single use applicators.
Side effects were noted during the study. 3.6% of the members experienced eye itching. Permanent darkening of the iris and eyelid are also possible side effects. Although no one in the study reported these effects. Green and Hazel eyes could be at risk for these complications.
Allergan is the company introduced Botox to the world. While developing a drug for glaucoma, called Lumigan, researchers found the group using the new drug had dramatic growth of their eyelashes. The active ingredient identified to cause eyelash growth is called Bimatoprost. Allergan then created Latisse to take advantage of this effect. Some those who used Lumigan experienced a darkening of their iris and eyelids. Because Latisse uses 5% of this active ingredient, applied to the eye lash and not in the eye, these side effects are not expected. Lumigan is placed into the eye.
Eye lash follicles last about 4 to 5 months. So when you stop using Latisse, your lash length will gradually reduce as old lashes fall out to be replaced by normal ones.
No more false eyelashes or extensions for you! Latisse can grow your own eyelashes longer and thicker. The only FDA approved drug that can do this. - 15252
