Latisse Frequently Asked Questions

Latisse® received FDA approval in 2008 as the first and only prescription product FDA approved to grow fuller, longer & darker eyelashes for patients with eyelash hypotrichosis or those wanting longer lashes.  Since then while giving many with no eyelashes, long, full & luxurious lashes there have been many truths, myths, and questions about it.  This blog is written to help those with questions about Latisse have accurate answers.
Here are top Latisse® Frequently asked Questions and Answers:
#1 What is the active ingredient in Latisse that makes it work?
Answer: The active ingredient is bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% which was using in a Rx medication eye drop called Lumigan.  The makers of Lumigan (Allergan) started to notice that the side effect was longer lashes and that is how Latisse was created.
#2: Can blue eyes get darkening in the eye area?
Answer: No, this can not happen to blue eyes, it can only happen in hazel eyes but has only occurred with Lumigan not with Latisse® patients and the chance of it happening is less than 5%.
#3: How do you apply Latisse®?
Answer: Every box of Latisse® includes individually packaged applicator brushes to apply the solution once a day on clean eyelids at the base of the lashes. Usually applying it at night is the best way.
#4: Does Latisse® stop working it if you stop using it?
Answer: Yes, if you stop using Latisse® your eyelashes will shed and eventually go back to the way they were.
#5: How long does Latisse® take to work?
Answer: Usually a person using Latisse® consistently will see results after 8 weeks but will continue to improve for up to 16 weeks.

How Latisse Makes You look Younger

After running a medical spa in Orlando-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center for 10 years I have seen my share of cosmetic products hit the market over the years.  However, my favorite product by far has been LATISSE®.  LATISSE® is a Prescription grade cosmetic product created by Allergan.  LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% was created for women and men dealing with hypertrichosis (a lack of lashes).  I want to address how Latisse makes you look younger.
How Latisse Makes you look younger:
When you use Latisse for at least 16 weeks it is clinically proven to make your lashes up to 25% longer, 106% fuller, and 18% darker.  While all of these are benefits it also makes you look younger.  Latisse makes you look younger because lashes are naturally thinner and shorter when you are older, and they are full and long when you are young.  So when you reverse this process, the look of longer, fuller lashes gives a more youthful appearance.
Latisse makes you look younger because when there is focus on long, luxurious lashes it takes focus away from wrinkles around the eye.  It also makes the eyes look brighter.

Why Latisse in Orlando Grows in Popularity

Latisse Orlando

Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center (Orlando medical spa) has been offering Latisse in the Orlando area for over 6 years and finds that the request by clients for Latisse has grown with popularity significantly every year.   LATISSE^® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.  Since it became FDA approved in the United States in 2001 LATISSE^® has had a huge buzz around it for lashes.
In Orlando there used to be a large focus on eyelash extensions but since the approval of LATISSE^® that has decreased as women and men can increase the growth of their own lashes naturally.  LATISSE^® is able to create lash growth because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, LATISSE^® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.  First used in patients for Glaucoma the effects on lashes were discovered and patented.
LATISSE^® solution  is a prescription product available in orlando at Winter park Laser and is applied topically 1 time per day on clean skin to the base of your upper eyelashes. Then, gradually, the results come in. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks. The results are thicker, darker, and longer lashes.

Gifting Botox & Aesthetic Procedures is in

While our Orlando medical Spa has been in business for 10 years, this year has been the busiest for Aesthetic Procedure Gift Cards. Clients are asking Santa to put Botox in their stocking this year. A recent Survey done by researchers at American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), shows that gifting botox is becoming a latest trend among women and men. We are seeing a surge in "Aesthetic Procedure" Gift CArds mainly for Botox, and Dermal Fillers. Buying a syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus which is a hyulornic acid filler to give back volume in lips, cheeks, and deep smile lines is extremely popular. Currently are most popular Holiday Gift Package being purchased as a gift is the "Santa Doesn't like Sun Damage" which includes a Medical Grade Vitalize chemical peel, an Intense Pulsed Light Photofacial and a Lytera Skincare Kit containing four products to remove sun damage for a total of $600. The other extremely popular gift this Holiday Season is laser hair removal. As laser hair removal has become a "household" term I guess it only makes sense to give your loved one the gift of not shaving or waxing. Our $450 for 6 underarm laser hair removal treatments has been selling like hotcakes. Latisse has been extremely popular as purchasing for Holiday gifts as well and clients are gifting this to themselves! So, still thinking what to gift your loved ones this season? If you are not too tight on your budget gifting these aesthetic procedures is not a bad idea after all.

Latisse is Botox for the Eyelashes

Latisse is Botox for eyelashes and has proven to enhance the length, thickness and shade of eyelashes and has already proved to be a massive hit in the US, could soon make mascara history.

Latisse - the 'Botox for eyelashes', which has been developed from Bimatoprost - a medication used to treat eye disorders including glaucoma, is also being used by many actresses, including 'Man Men' star Christina Hendricks, Claire Danes and Brooke Shields.

The solution, manufactured by American pharmaceutical giant Allergen - which also makes Botox, which is to be applied daily during the period of the treatment doubles the thiockness of the lashes as well as making them 18 per cent darker and 25 per cent longer.

Having applied the lotion for four months, women can even reduce the dose by half to maintain the lashes' thickness and length and if they stop the treatment altogether, the lash will revert to its thinner, shorter original condition. Latisse is proving to be even bigger than Botox in the next few years.
