Living in a world where physical beauty is always an asset, I am sure you already have heard about Latisse. Since FDA approved

the eyelash enhancer on December 2008, the world has never stopped falling in love with thick, voluminous and darker eyelashes.

What Is Latisse?

Latisse is an eyelash enhancement product that is manufactured by Allergen which is also responsible for Botox. Originally manufactured as a glaucoma drug in a form of an eye drop, its fate changed when most of the glaucoma patients noticed that their eyelashes grew longer and lusher while they were using the product. Because of this hair growth side effect, the drug was reformulated to treat the problem of hypotrichosis or a condition where an individual has few eyelashes. Because of the observed effectiveness of the product, FDA gave its approval to use the product as an eyelash enhancer that would help people plagued with hypotrichosis.

With the inclusion of Bimatoprost as one of its active ingredients, which is noted for its ability to aid the growth of eyelashes, it has become one of the best products that gives you a longer, fuller and darker lashes. However, in the midst of the products capability to help treat hypotrichosis, the reality that it also posts negative effects to the user can not be overlooked.

Many users have developed an allergy to the inactive ingredient Benzalkonium chloride. Some of the adverse reaction to the ingredient are eye irritation, redness and itching of the eye, and dryness. Yet, compared to the product’s incredible capability to give users thicker, longer, darker and lusher lashes, the reported negative side effects are just mild.

More on Latisse

The efficacy of Latisse can be best felt if you are going to apply Latisse eyelash treatment once a day for at least 2 months or eight weeks to the base of the upper eyelashes. Although, eye doctors do not recommend applying Latisse on the lower eyelids and eyebrows, there are reviews showing that is safe and effective to apply Latisse on the said areas. On the other hand, the average Latisse cost is $120. With the fact that other eyelash growth enhancer products are more expensive, I can say that its price is reasonable. Though, Latisse works in a slower pace compared to other brands on the market, you can be assured that a positive result can be noticeable after few weeks of regular application.

Where To Buy Latisse?

Unlike the cosmetic mascara, Latisse is a drug; hence, you need a doctor’s prescription when you buy Latisse. Likewise, since it is a new drug on the market, not all eye doctors or cosmetic surgeons will be familiar with the product. Therefore, it is best to buy Latisse from a reputable cosmetic surgeons or eye doctors.
