There are so many little details on the face. For example, everyone understands that their eyes play a major role in how they appear. People who have full, expressive eyes are often considered to be more attractive than those who do not. However, something that many people don’t think about or take for granted is the role that their eyelashes play in framing their eyes, thereby giving them an attractive appearance.
It is not until something happens that inhibits their eyelash growth, or even causes the eyelashes to fall out, that a person realizes how big of a role eyelashes play in their appearance. Latisse® has worked amazingly in helping individuals grow longer, fuller and darker lashes. Most patients see thicker, longer eyelashes in just weeks.
The history of Latisse® is rather interesting. In the early 2000’s, a product was developed to treat intraocular pressure. It was a very effective product in many patients who used it. It was noted that patients using this product started to grow longer, fuller and darker eyelashes as an unexpected side effect. As a result, doctors started to examine the active ingredient in the intraocular pressure medicine, trying to identify what it was that led to eyelash growth. They realized that the active ingredient, bimatoprost, is what was causing the eyelash growth, and they began to do trial studies using this active ingredient purely for eyelash growth. After much research and after extensive clinical trials, Latisse® was approved by the FDA to be used as an eyelash growth treatment.
Some people may wonder how Latisse® stacks up with other non-prescription products that are supposedly designed to improve or to encourage eyelash growth. The truth is that there is no comparison. First and foremost, Latisse® is the only product that has been approved by the FDA to make a person’s lashes grow longer, fuller and darker. No other product has gone through as much research and as much study as this product has. It has been proven to be safe and effective. It is a powerful product, and this is one of the reasons why it is only available by prescription.
The Latisse® solution is very easy to apply, and it produces amazing results. Individuals who have used it and who have seen eyelash growth are surprised at the way the eyelash growth has affected their appearance and the way that other people interact with them.
