LATISSE

Many patients find that they may spend considerable amounts of time and money using cosmetic products and false eyelashes to make their eyelashes appear longer and fuller. If your morning routine consists of eyelash extensions or false eyelash applications, Complexions Dermatology is pleased to offer a treatment solution that is safe and effective in enhancing your eyelashes. Latisse is an FDA-approved medication used to gradually stimulate the growth of longer, thicker and darker eyelashes. It is applied to the upper eyelid every day for approximately two to four months to obtain the maximum results of longer, thicker eyelashes. 

Eyelashes just like normal hair on our head go through cycles of growth and rest or dormancy. Latisse works by creating more hair follicles and lengthening the time of the growth phase so that lashes grow longer and thicker. Patients will apply one drop of the solution at night on the roots of the upper eyelids. Once the desired look is achieved, patients can use the product every other day to maintain the look. The results will depend on the regular use of the treatment and eyelashes will return to their normal state after the treatment is stopped. 

Perhaps one of the main advantages patients note after using Latisse is the compliments they receive as a result of the treatment. There are many additional benefits of using Latisse to lengthen and thicken eyelashes including:

• Easier morning routines. No more worrying about eyelash extensions or false eyelash placement. The results of using Latisse often reduce and even eliminate the need for cosmetic products such as mascara.
• Treatment is easy. Latisse does not require any in-office treatment or procedure. You can lengthen and thicken your eyelashes from the comfort of your home by applying topical medicine once a day until you achieve the results you want.
• Latisse is FDA approved. Other products that claim to boost lash growth and thickness are not approved by the FDA. With Latisse, you know you are getting a safe and effective product under the supervision of highly trained professionals. 
• Results are quick. Generally, patients using Latisse report seeing results as early as 8 weeks after starting treatment. Maximum results are typically achieved in 12 -16 weeks of use.
