What Is LATISSE®?
LATISSE® is an eyelash enhancing solution which features the active ingredient, bimatoprost. Belonging to the class of medications called prostaglandin analogues, LATISSE® is commonly used to treat patients that desire longer, darker and fuller eyelashes. Thanks to its active agent, bimatoprost, LATISSE® is said to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle by increasing the length of the normal growth phase and the number of hairs which grow during the phase.
What Ingredients Are In LATISSE®?
As mentioned before, LATISSE® features 0.03% of bimatoprost, the active ingredient which makes the product so effective. Nonmedicinal ingredients in LATISSE® include benzalkonium chloride 0.05 mg/mL, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate, citric acid monohydrate, and purified water. Depending on the circumstances and results you wish to achieve, sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may be added to LATISSE® by your doctor to adjust the pH of the product.
How Does LATISSE® Work?
The medicated eyelash solution works by increasing the natural growth of eyelashes promoting length, thickness and darkness without the use of additional cosmetics including mascara and other lash enhancers. Recommended for use as a daily treatment applied topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, LATISSE® is made available to patients by prescription only.
According to extensive clinical studies performed on LATISSE®, users generally see improvements to the length of their lashes in as little as 4 weeks. Then, after approximately 16 weeks of consistent use, users can reap the full benefits of LATISSE®.
