Latisse Treatment – Make Your Eyelashes Grow
A number of patients who are unhappy with eyelashes that may be too thin and short have seen dramatic improvements from the revolutionary eyelash solution, Latisse. Available only by prescription, Latisse is a new FDA-approved treatment proven to produce longer, darker, more voluminous eyelashes within four to six weeks, with full results after 16 weeks.
Latisse is applied to the base of the upper eyelids to stimulate growth and keep the hair in its growing phase, gradually producing completely natural, long eyelashes. The main ingredient in Latisse is bimatoprost, a chemical compound used in the glaucoma drug Lumigan. Researchers found that when glaucoma patients used Lumigan, eyelash length and fullness was increased, resulting in the invention of Latisse.
Latisse is applied once a day with a disposable applicator included with the product. During treatment, it is important to use a new, sterile applicator each time to prevent contamination, which can lead to eye infection. A bottle of Latisse can last about 30 days, and is to be used only after receiving instructions from a trained medical professional. If discontinued, lashes gradually return to their previous appearance.
The best candidates for Latisse are individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their eyelashes and those who suffer from hypotrichosis, a condition associated with inadequate eyelashes. However, certain medical conditions may increase the risk of side effects associated with Latisse. This is why it is important consult with an experienced cosmetic specialist to determine if this treatment is right for you.
When used as recommended, Latisse can have dramatic enhancing effects, which can be used in conjunction with other plastic surgery procedures. Patients longing for a facial makeover should visit a plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic procedures of the face, body and breasts. Latisse in conjunction with advanced anti-aging products and/or procedures, including eyelid surgery, facelift, cheek implants, rhinoplasty or chin augmentation can take years off a patient's face, restoring youth, energy and facial radiance.
Your plastic surgeon may be able to offer you information about facial plastic surgery procedures that could enhance Latisse treatment. Information about face lift cost and facelift risks can be very helpful in making a decision about surgical procedures.
