Latisse Eyelash Enhancement Specialist in Barrington, IL

Latisse is a prescription treatment containing bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%. It is FDA-approved for eyelash hypotrichosis, or inadequate eyelashes, and is used to increase eyelash growth, including lash length, thickness, and darkness.

The precise way bimatoprost promotes eyelash growth is not fully understood. According to the prescribing information, eyelash growth is believed to occur by increasing the percentage of hairs in the active growth phase and extending the duration of that phase. Latisse is applied to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes and should not be applied to the lower lash line.

At Regency Medical Spa and Hair Restoration Clinic, clients interested in Latisse can receive information about appropriate use, application instructions, treatment expectations, and relevant health considerations. Our team can help clients understand how prescription eyelash enhancement may be used to address inadequate lashes while maintaining realistic expectations about gradual results.

Latisse may be considered for individuals with inadequate eyelashes who want to increase the length, thickness, or darkness of their natural lashes. Because Latisse is a prescription treatment, whether it is appropriate should be determined based on individual health considerations rather than cosmetic goals alone.

Important considerations include:

• Inadequate or insufficient eyelashes
• Known allergies or sensitivity to bimatoprost or other ingredients
• Current eye conditions
• Use of medications that affect intraocular pressure
• Previous reactions to eye or eyelid treatments
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding considerations
• Ability to follow the recommended application instructions

Latisse is contraindicated in individuals with hypersensitivity to bimatoprost or any of its ingredients. People using bimatoprost or other prostaglandin analogs to manage elevated intraocular pressure should consult their physician before using Latisse and may require monitoring of eye pressure.

At Regency Medical Spa and Hair Restoration Clinic, clients can discuss their eyelash concerns, health history, current treatments, and treatment expectations before using Latisse. Our team provides guidance on proper application and relevant precautions so clients can make an informed decision about prescription eyelash enhancement.

Latisse produces eyelash changes gradually rather than immediately. Individual response can vary, so a specific time at which every person will begin noticing improvement cannot be guaranteed.

Clinical studies evaluated the effects of Latisse over a 16-week treatment period. The treatment is indicated to increase eyelash growth, including length, thickness, and darkness. Continued nightly use according to the prescribed directions is important during the treatment period. If Latisse is discontinued, its effects on eyelash growth are expected to gradually diminish and lashes are expected to return toward their previous appearance.

At Regency Medical Spa and Hair Restoration Clinic, our team can explain the expected treatment timeline and proper use of Latisse. Clients are encouraged to follow the recommended application instructions rather than changing the frequency based on how quickly visible changes appear.

Latisse is recommended for application once nightly to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes. Before application, the face should be clean, and makeup and contact lenses should be removed. One drop is placed on the supplied sterile applicator and applied carefully along the upper lash line. A new sterile applicator should be used for the opposite eyelid.

Using Latisse more than once a day does not increase eyelash growth. If an application is missed, users should resume their normal application schedule rather than applying additional solution. Latisse should not be applied directly into the eye or along the lower eyelid margin. Contact lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes after application.

At Regency Medical Spa and Hair Restoration Clinic, our team can provide instructions for the appropriate use of Latisse and answer questions about application, precautions, and continued treatment. Following the prescribed directions helps clients use the product as intended while avoiding unnecessary additional applications.
