Allergan solves the problem of growing your eyelashes longer and thicker! They recently introduced a new drug called Latisse which has been show to clinically proven to grow eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker, without using eyelash conditioners!
Lashes 25% longer,106% thicker and 18% darker were reported at the end of a 16 week study, using Latisse. Applied to the upper eyelid only, changes were noted at the 8 week mark. With these numbers Latisse sounds like a mascara advertisement!
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 be sold by prescription only. It will probably not be covered by insurance plans, unless prescribed for a specific medical condition, like hypotrichosis ( a less than normal amount of hair on head or body). It is expected to cost about $120.00 for a 30 day supply, ( which includes 60 single use applicators).
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, when using these eye drops.
Ever hear of Botox? Allergan was the company that introduced Botox to the world. It hopes to find similar success with Latisse. When developing a drug to treat glaucoma, called Lumigan, researchers noted a starling side effect, longer thicker eyelashes. The active ingredient called Bimatoprost caused eyelash growth. Allergan developed Latisse to take advantage of this effect. Some other side effects of Lumigan were permanent darkening of the iris. Eyelids were also darker. Latisse is not expected to have similar results because it uses only 5% of the concentration placed on the eyelash. Lumigan is placed directly in the eye.
Eye lash follicles last about 4 to 5 months. So when you stop using Latisse, your lash length will gradually reduce as old lashes fall out to be replaced by normal ones.
Latisse permits you growth of your own lashes. You won't ever have to be bothered with false eyelashes or extensions again! FDA approved- Latisse.
