Is LATISSE® for You?
Here’s what you should know about getting Colorado Springs LATISSE® solution:
LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker. Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes. LATISSE® is believed to prolong the anagen phase–the active growth phase of eyelashes. The onset of effect with LATISSE® solution is gradual. In the clinical trial, the majority of LATISSE® users saw significant improvement by 2 months.
Only LATISSE® has been approved by the FDA as a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes.
Mayo Clinic-trained and board-certified Colorado Springs plastic surgeon, Gregory J. Liebscher, MD, FACS, provides clinical services for anyone looking to purchase and apply LATISSE® products.
Important Safety Information
If you are using prescription products for lowering eye pressure or have a history of eye pressure problems, only use LATISSE® under close doctor supervision. LATISSE® may cause eyelid skin darkening which may be reversible, and there is a potential for increased brown iris pigmentation which is likely to be permanent.
What are the possible side effects?
The most common side effects after using LATISSE® are eye itching or eye redness. These were reported by about 4% of patients in the clinical trials. LATISSE® solution may cause other less common side effects, which typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE® is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness, or redness of the eyelids.
If you develop a new eye condition (e.g., eye trauma), experience a sudden decrease in vision, have eye surgery, or develop any reactions, particularly an infected eyelid reaction, you should immediately talk to your doctor about whether or not to continue using LATISSE® solution.
