Up till now, there was no way to actually increase the growth of your eyelashes. The Allergan company recently introduced a new drug called Latisse, which is clinically proven to grow eye lashes longer, thicker and darker.
Latisse is applied to the upper eyelid only. Results were seen after 8 weeks of application, with full growth after 16 weeks. Eyelashes grew 25% longer, 106% thicker and 18% darker. Try that using mascara!
The clinical study of 280 members, of which 1/2 used Latisse ran for 16 weeks. Latisse was applied to the upper eyelid only. Latisse cannot be applied to the lower eyelid.
Latisse will cost about $120.00 for a 30 day supply. Medical insurance will not cover this drug for cosmetic purposes. Though a medical condition such as hypotrichosis would be covered.
There are some side effects noted during the study. 3.6% of the participates experienced eye itching. There is some concern that permanent darkening of the iris could occur. Green and Hazel eyes are at risk for this side effect. In the study no one reported darkening of the iris. The upper eyelid could also possibly be affected by becoming darker.
Allergan is the company introduced Botox to the world. While developing a drug for glaucoma, called Lumigan, researchers found the group using the new drug had dramatic growth of their eyelashes. The active ingredient identified to cause eyelash growth is called Bimatoprost. Allergan then created Latisse to take advantage of this effect. Some those who used Lumigan experienced a darkening of their iris and eyelids. Because Latisse uses 5% of this active ingredient, applied to the eye lash and not in the eye, these side effects are not expected. Lumigan is placed into the eye.
Lashes normally last about 4 to 5 months. When you stop using the drug, your eye lashes will gradually return to their normal length as old follicles fall out and new ones grow in.
Latisse permits you to grow your own lashes thicker and longer. You won't ever have to be bothered with false eyelashes or extensions again! FDA approved- Latisse.
