LATISSE® - at SkinSmart Dermatology

An Innovative New Product for Thicker, Fuller, Darker Lashes
LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) .03% is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA, for inadequate or not having enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.  The active ingredient in LATISSE®, bimatoprost, provides longer, fuller, darker eyelashes.

More Lashes, Over Time
LATISSE® makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost.  Although the precise mechanism of action is not known, research suggests that the growth of eyelashes occurs by increasing the percent of hairs in, and the duration of, the anagen (or growth) phase. Lashes can grow longer, thicker and darker because bimatoprost can also prolong this growth phase.  In time, through several hair growth cycles covering a few months, you will notice thicker, fuller, darker lashes beginning in just four weeks.

An Easy and Effective Treatment You Can Do Yourself
A once-a-day treatment, LATISSE® takes just a moment to apply. Sterile, disposable applicators are included with every prescription of LATISSE®, and it's as easy to use as liquid eyeliner! Simply put a drop on the applicator, glide it along the upper eyelid at the base of the lashes, and blot any excess. That's it! Full results are revealed in just 16 weeks!

Thoroughly Researched and Tested
While LATISSE® is a new treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with over 60 years of expertise in prescription eye care products.  LATISSE® has minimal side effects. Those most often reported (4% of cases) are mild eye itchiness and redness. Less common side effects include eye lid skin darkening, irritation, and eye dryness. Discuss any and all eye conditions or eye products you use with SkinSmart staff before using LATISSE®.
