Actual Patient Results
How does Latisse work in conjunction with the cycle of hair growth?
Eyelashes, much like the hairs on your scalp, undergo cycles of rest and active growth. According to experts, Latisse has a positive effect on this cycle in two significant ways. First, it increases the percentage of hair follicles in the active growth phase at any given time. Second, it prolongs the amount of time that these follicles stay in the active growth cycle, allowing for fuller and longer eyelashes.
How do I use Latisse?
Enhancing the appearance of your eyelashes has never been simpler. There is no need for in-office procedures; instead, you will be using a prescription medication that allows you to achieve beautiful lashes from the comfort of your own home. Along with the medication, you will receive applicators and detailed instructions to guide you through the process. The entire application process is straightforward and easy to follow, making it accessible for everyone:
- Remove contact lenses and eye makeup before application
- Apply Latisse to your upper eyelid along the lash line
- Use a tissue to blot away any excess
- Do not touch the applicator tip with your fingers or allow it to contact any surfaces

Latisse Treatment: Your Questions Answered
What is Latisse, and how does it work?
Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription treatment for eyelash growth. It contains an active ingredient called bimatoprost, which extends the growth phase of your eyelashes while also increasing the number of eyelash hairs. By applying the solution directly to the lash line of your upper eyelids, you can achieve gradual results, giving you thicker, darker, and longer eyelashes over time.
How long does it take to see results from Latisse?
With consistent use, you begin to notice visible changes in your eyelashes within four weeks. However, for optimal results, most individuals see the full effect of Latisse by 12-16 weeks. Dr. Downie recommends following the application instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective results.
Is Latisse safe to use?
Yes, Latisse is safe when used as directed under the guidance of a board-certified dermatologist, such as Dr. Downie. It is the only FDA-approved treatment used for eyelash growth, and Dr. Downie did the clinical trials for this drug. Since it is a prescription product, it is essential to schedule a consultation at image Dermatology® P.C. to determine whether Latisse is the right treatment for you. Side effects are considered rare but may include temporary redness, itching, or darkening of the skin where the product is applied. Dr. Downie and her team will provide you with personalized advice to minimize any risks.
Can I use Latisse if I wear contact lenses or makeup?
Absolutely! Latisse is designed to fit seamlessly into your routine, even if you wear contact lenses or makeup regularly. However, Dr. Downie advises removing your contact lenses before applying Latisse and waiting at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Additionally, ensure your face is clean and free of makeup before application to promote the best possible outcomes.
What happens if I stop using Latisse medication?
If you stop using Latisse, your eyelashes gradually return to their original appearance over a few weeks to months. This is because the effects of Latisse are not permanent, and eyelashes will revert to their natural growth cycle. Dr. Downie encourages patients to maintain regular use to retain their enhanced lashes.
Who is a good candidate for Latisse?
Latisse is suitable for most individuals who want to improve the appearance of their eyelashes. Whether you have naturally short or sparse lashes or wish to enhance their thickness, Latisse could be the perfect solution. However, Dr. Downie recommends scheduling a consultation at image Dermatology® P.C. to discuss your medical history and ensure there are no contraindications to using Latisse in your specific case.
How do I properly apply Latisse?
Applying Latisse is simple and takes just a few minutes each evening. Dr. Downie advises following these steps for correct usage:
- Start by thoroughly cleansing the face and removing any makeup.
- Ensure your hands are clean and the applicators provided with Latisse are sterile.
- Place one drop of Latisse solution on the applicator and gently apply it along the lash line of your upper eyelid. Be careful not to go too low on the lash line.
- Discard the used applicator after a single use to prevent contamination.
- Repeat the process with the other eye using a fresh applicator.
Dr. Downie’s approachable and knowledgeable care ensures that you will feel both confident and well-informed throughout your Latisse treatment.
