Unfortunately, this medication cannot be applied with an eyeliner brush. Per the instructions we will provide you with the medication, you may only use the sterile applicator brushes included with the medication.
This mitigates the risk that bacteria will get in or near your eyes. Use a separate applicator for each eyelid and dispose of each one after use.
Yes: just remember to apply the medication first and wait 15 minutes. After that, you are free to apply mascara as you usually would. You are also free to apply eyeliner, eyeshadow, and other cosmetics around your eyes. If you apply your medication at night, make sure you remove all cosmetics and have thoroughly cleansed your hands and face.
Store this medication in a convenient location away from direct sunlight. Most people store this medication in the medicine cabinet in their bathroom. The most important thing to know about proper storage is you should keep this medication in a room that does not get colder than 36 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer than 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
This side effect is rare and typically occurs when bimatoprost gets into the eye, either due to direct application or accidentally while applying Latisse. In general, the risk is low if you use Latisse for its intended purpose and are careful not to apply the medication directly to your eyes. Overall, the side effects of Latisse are mild and uncommon. Our guide to Latisse side effects goes into more detail on why they can happen, how often they occur and what you can do to treat side effects if you experience any while using Latisse.
In fact, one study of Latisse looked at its use as a potential treatment for eyebrow hypotrichosis, a form of eyebrow hair loss. However, some healthcare providers may prescribe Latisse for off-label use to improve the thickness, length and darkness of the eyebrows.
Latisse is safe and effective for most people. However, if you have an existing eye condition, it might not be a suitable medication for you. While Latisse is not linked to these conditions directly, applying it to your eyelids incorrectly could increase your risk of aggravating certain eye conditions. Latisse is only designed for use on your upper eyelids to improve the length, thickness and color of your upper eyelashes. Do not apply Latisse to the lower eyelid.
Doing so increases the risk of the Latisse solution coming into contact with the eye and causing side effects. If you apply the medication using the sterile applicator brush, only a small amount can come into contact with your eye at any time.
To minimize the risk of Latisse getting into your eye, apply it in front of a mirror with your eye completely closed. Wait for several seconds after applying it to your upper eyelid, then gently blot away any excess liquid solution to prevent it from dripping into your eye. You should only apply Latisse using the sterile applicator brushes that are included with the medication. Do not use an eyeliner brush or any other items to apply Latisse to your eyelids, as this significantly increases your risk of spreading bacteria and other substances to your eyes.
Use a separate applicator when you apply Latisse to each eyelid. Do not reuse any of the applicator brushes included with Latisse.
Just wait until the next day, then use a single drop of Latisse per eyelid, as normal. While your eyelashes will gradually return to their normal length, thickness and color if you stop using Latisse completely, forgetting to use the medication for a single day will have no effect on your eyelashes. The active ingredient in Latisse is bimatoprost. According to the Mayo Clinic , the medication bimatoprost — known as Latisse — helps thicken your eyelashes , which might come as a great relief if you struggle with too short or too few eyelashes.
Unlike other eyelash growth serums, the Food and Drug Administration FDA approved the brush-on substance to treat inadequate eyelashes, which is called hypotrichosis.
Other options to make your eyelashes look longer include eyelash extensions or falsies, but they can be costly and time-consuming, which is why you might feel ready to grow your own. If you're concerned about the appearance of your eyelashes, talk to your doctor.
