Frequently Asked Questions About Latisse!

LATISSE^® solution (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% - is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.

We want long eyelashes too! We personally use it and are amazed at the actual results. So yes, Latisse really works when used as directed.

In short, think of Latisse® as nourishment for your eyelashes...

The active ingredient in Latisse™ eyelash grower is called bimatoprost. Research suggests that growth of eyelashes occurs by increasing the percent of hairs in, and the duration of, the anagen (or growth) phase of the hair follicle. Bimatoprost can prolong this growth phase, hence you get longer lashes. It also appears to help generate extra lashes, so your lashes get fuller.

While the exact mechanism is unknown, it appears Latisse™ strengthens your lashes and increases the life cycle of each lash. Latisse™ also increases the pigment, or color of the lash. Thus, over the treatment course with Latisse™ eyelash grower, all of your own lashes become fuller, longer, thicker and darker. Naturally, when you stop using the product, your eyelashes will eventually return to their original state.

Latisse was clinically tested in a pivotal Phase III, multi-center, double-masked, placebo-controlled study to assess its safety and efficacy in which all endpoints (improved eyelash prominence, length, thickness and darkness) were met. Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Latisse, was first approved in 2001 as a medical product to lower intraocular pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Patients treated with bimatoprost for this specific eye condition experienced eyelash growth as a side effect.

The long-term safety of bimatoprost for therapeutic use has been recognized by the medical community and well established based on use in 32 clinical trials involving more than 5,700 glaucoma patients and more than 13 years of clinical trial experience. Given the existing and substantial clinical and post-marketing safety data with bimatoprost solution 0.03%, coupled with the positive results from the Phase III Latisse study, Latisse provides patients a clinically meaningful aesthetic benefit with a favorable safety profile.

Yes, of course. Latisse® is appropriate for men or women if conditions warrant it.

While it may seem like a good idea, Latisse® was only approved by the FDA to use on your upper eyelashes. Clinical Studies have not been done to see if Latisse will grow your eyebrows.

LATISSE^® users may see results at 8 weeks with full results at 12 to 16 weeks. The growth is gradual overnight, over time.

If you stop using LATISSE^®, your eyelashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months

or Is there a maintenance regimen, once I achieve maximum results? While using Latisse® your lashes will continue to grow without shedding as they normally would. Everyone is different - but most people achieve maximum results around 12-16 weeks. Maintenance treatments of 2-3 times per week can be started at any time before or after. The choice is yours.

With regular use, Latisse^® will grow your natural eyelashes longer, fuller, thicker, and darker - the very same reasons we use mascara, eh? However, you can still apply mascara while using Latisse if you want to see even more dramatic effects.

Each bottle of Latisse® contains 3ml of solution, and comes with 60 sterile applicators. You get double the applicators, because you use only only applicator per eye, each day. Apply only one drop of Latisse per applicator. If using correctly, your solution should last 30 days.

No. In fact, it's a good idea to keep it handy - say in your bathroom, so that you will remember to use it every day. Visit the Tips for Success page for some other helpful guidelines.

Each 30 day supply includes 60 sterile applicators. One for each eye to maintain sterility.

The most common side effects after using LATISSE® solution are an itching sensation in
the eyes and/or eye redness, which were reported in approximately 4% of patients. These
may occur immediately after use, but should usually last only for a short period of time.
Eye itching and eye redness are not allergic reactions, and do not mean that your eyes are
being harmed.

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 eye irritation,
dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids. Skin darkening (or hyperpigmentation) is
another less common side effect. This condition causes areas of skin to become darker
than the surrounding skin color.

Increased brown iris pigmentation has occurred when similar medications were instilled
directly into the eye to treat elevated intraocular pressure/glaucoma. Although iris
pigmentation was not reported in clinical studies with LATISSE®, patients should be
advised about the potential for increased brown iris pigmentation which is likely to be
permanent.

If you develop a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should stop using the product immediately and seek your local physician's advice concerning the continued use of LATISSE^® solution. You should also contact Allergan^®. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS contact Allergan^® at 1-800-433-8871.

We know, we know, we' read and hear all the talk about using other applicators too - like Q-tips, eyeliner brushes, etc....

1. They come pre-packaged two at at time - in a sterile blister pack. That's pretty important. Sterile applicators really help protect your eye so you do not get infections from common bacteria growing on other applicators. You have to admit - pink eye wouldn't look good even if your eyelashes are long. It's a safety kind of thing doncha know.

2. They were specifically designed to hold the correct dose....one drop per applicator. Per eye.

3. More importantly - they are specifically designed to also dispense the correct dose.....(lightbulbs going off, eh?)

So that way you do not increase the risks for potential side effects - like redness, itchiness, hyperpigmentation, etc....pretty clever, eh?

So please. Only use the sterile applicators that come with the solution for best results.

LATISSE^® solution is intended for use on the skin of the upper eyelid margins at the base of the eyelashes. Refer to the illustration below. DO NOT APPLY to the lower eyelid. If you are using LUMIGAN^® or other products in the same class for elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), or if you have a history of abnormal IOP, you should only use LATISSE^® under the close supervision of your local physician.

LATISSE^® use may cause darkening of the eyelid skin which may be reversible. LATISSE^® use may also cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely to be permanent.

It is possible for hair growth to occur in other areas of your skin that LATISSE^® frequently touches. Any excess solution outside the upper eyelid margin should be blotted with a tissue or other absorbent material to reduce the chance of this from happening. It is also possible for a difference in eyelash length, thickness, fullness, pigmentation, number of eyelash hairs, and/or direction of eyelash growth to occur between eyes. These differences, should they occur, will usually go away if you stop using LATISSE^®.

IOP stands for elevated Intraocular Pressure. This is a condition where the pressure inside the eye is higher than normal. LATISSE^® may decrease IOP. So talk to your doctor if you are using IOP-lowering medications. Concurrent administration of LATISSE^® and certain IOP-lowering medications in ocular hypertensive patients should be closely monitored for changes in intraocular pressure.

Unfortunately, no. Latisse is not recommended for pregnant and lactating women as potential side effects to the unborn or nursing infant are not fully known. Besides, your hair and lashes will be gorgeous anyway!

LATISSE^® solution is a once-a-day treatment you apply yourself each evening to the base of the upper eyelashes. DO NOT APPLY in your eye or to the lower lid because excess hair growth outside the treatment area may occur. See the video instructions in How to Apply, and apply as instructed.

1. Before applying LATISSE^® each night, ensure your face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed, and any other facial care products have already been applied.

2. Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of LATISSE^® solution on the area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip, so as to not let any drip off.

3. Immediately draw the applicator carefully along the skin at the base of the upper eyelashes (where the eyelashes meet the skin) going from the inner part of your lash line to the outer part. Do not apply in your eye or to the lower lid because excess hair growth outside the treatment area may occur.

5. Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for opposite eyelid, using a new sterile applicator to help minimize any potential for contamination from one eyelid to another.

A clinical trial of LATISSE^® was conducted on patients who applied the product to the base of their upper lashes only. Please do not intentionally apply in your eye or to the lower lashes. There is the potential for hair growth to occur in areas where LATISSE^® solution comes in repeated contact with the skin surface.

It is important to apply LATISSE^® only to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes using the accompanying sterile applicators, and to carefully blot any excess LATISSE^® from the eyelid margin to avoid it running onto the cheek or other skin areas.

But wait - Patients have reported - that even though they don't apply Latisse to their lower lashes - are finding that, in some cases, the lower lashes are growing too. Most likely, when your eyes are closed while sleeping, your lower lashes are getting the benefits anyway!

If you miss an application or a few, don't try to catch up. Just apply the LATISSE^® treatment the next evening and stay on schedule

To continue to receive the maximum benefits of Latisse®, daily application is required.

And If you decide to stop using LATISSE^®, your eyelashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.

Yep, you sure can, but contact lenses should be removed prior to application of LATISSE^® . They may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.

Not to worry. LATISSE^® solution is an ophthalmic drug product. If any gets into the eye, it is not expected to cause harm. The eye should not be rinsed.

Active ingredient: bimatoprost
Inactive ingredients: benzalkonium chloride; sodium chloride; sodium phosphate, dibasic; citric acid; and purified water. Sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may be added to adjust pH. The pH during its shelf life ranges from 6.8 — 7.8.

Naturally, do not use LATISSE^® solution if you are allergic to any one of its ingredients.

Hyperpigmentation is a common, usually harmless condition in which areas of skin become darker than the surrounding skin color. This occurs when there is an increase in the melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color, in the skin. Skin hyperpigmentation is a possible side effect of LATISSE^®, but may be reversible after discontinuation of the product.

Use Latisse only as directed - one drop on each sterile applicator, per eye, at bedtime.

Eye redness may occur immediately after use. Contact us and/or consult your doctor if the redness persists or you notice other symptoms as well. If you develop a new eye condition (e.g. trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have eye surgery, or develop any eye reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should immediately seek your physician’s advice concerning the continued use of LATISSE^®.

In some cases, Latisse can still be safe for you to use even with diagnosed IOP or Glaucoma. If you are currently being followed and/or being treated for Glaucoma, then you should not order Latisse online. It's best to be followed by your local physician.

On rare occasions, increased brown pigmentation of the iris (<---the color part of your eye) has occurred when the same formulation of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution was instilled directly into the eye when it was used to treat elevated intraocular pressure/glaucoma.

But here's the thing - Brown Iris pigmentation was not reported in clinical studies with LATISSE^® when studied to grow eyelashes. Naturally, if instilled into the eyes, it is still important to be advised about the potential for increased brown iris pigmentation which is likely to be permanent if it should occur.

When applying appropriately, Latisse is applied only on the skin at the edge of the upper eyelashes - and not instilled directly into the eye.

Eye itching may occur immediately after use. Consult your local physician if the itching persists or you notice other symptoms as well. If you develop a new eye condition (e.g. trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have eye surgery, or develop any eye reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should immediately seek your physician’s advice concerning the continued use of LATISSE^®.

LATISSE^® solution is the first and only prescription treatment currently approved by the FDA for inadequate or not having enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.
