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.
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!
In the clinical study 140 members out of 280, used Latisse for 16 weeks. Applied to the upper eyelid only, Latisse was well tolerated by the group. Latisse is not recommended for use on the lower eyelashes.
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. It is expected to cost about $120.00 for a 30 day supply, ( which includes 60 single use applicators).
3.6% of the members of the study reported eye itching. No other side effects were noted. There is some concern green and hazel eyes might become permanently darkened. The upper eyelid also might be affected by becoming darker.
Allergan is the company that has great success with Botox. It hopes to have a another home-run with Latisse. When Lumigan ( a drug developed to treat glaucoma) produced a side effect of longer thicker eye lashes, Latisse was then created. Some side effects noted with Lumigan were darkening of the eyelid and permanent darkening of the iris. The active ingredient of both drugs is Bimatoprost. Latisse uses only a 5% solution, so that no darkening of iris or eyelids is expected. Plus the fact, Latisse is applied to the lash itself, not in the eye like Lumigan.
The life cycle of a normal eye lash follicle is 4 to 5 months, so when you stop using the drug, gradual lash length will be reduced, as lashes fall out and they are replaced by normal lashes.
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. - 17944
