Latisse - Help for Thinning Lashes
LatisseTM is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis (not enough eyelashes), and is used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.
Call your eye doctor for more information about LatisseTM, and to schedule an appointment to be sure your eyes are healthy enough to use .
If you have been previously diagnosed with eye pressure problems, or if you are on medication to lower your eye pressure, you need to be closely monitored when using LatisseTM. Also, if you have a family history of glaucoma, or are at risk to develop glaucoma, be sure you talk to your eye doctor before using LatisseTM.
Keys to Success
STEP 1 - Before applying LatisseTM each night, be sure your face is clean, your makeup and contact lenses are removed, and any other facial care products have already been applied. Contact lenses should be removed prior to application and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.
STEP 2 - Allowing the solution to touch the area below your eye may darken the skin as a result. To help avoid contact with the solution, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly under your eyes and at the outer corners of your eyes before applying.
STEP 3 - Remove an applicator from its tray. ONLY use the sterile applicators supplied with Latisse to apply the product. Don't allow the tip of the bottle or applicator to contact surrounding structures, fingers, or any other unintended surface in order to avoid contamination by common bacteria known to cause infections. Holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of the solution on the area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip.
STEP 4 - Immediately draw the applicator carefully along the skin at the base of the upper lashes (where the lashes meet the skin) going from the inner part of your lash line to the outer part. Do not apply in your eye or to the lower lid because excess hair growth outside the treatment area may occur.
STEP 5 - Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid with a tissue.
STEP 6 - Dispose of the applicator after one use.
STEP 7 - Repeat for opposite eyelid, using a new sterile applicator to help minimize any potential for contamination from one eyelid to another.
