Latisse has been FDA approved for the treatment of small or thin eyelash growth. When applied regularly on a daily basis, eyelashes can significantly appear longer, fuller and darker. Latisse works by prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle of the eyelashes which is usually 1 to 2 months. Latisse is a prescription product which you apply yourself at home. The results will begin appearing at 4 to 8 weeks of continual use and full affects becoming evident at 16 weeks. If treatment stops, you can expect your lashes to return to their pretreatment appearance at 4 to 6 weeks after ending treatment. Maintenance treatments may be initiated after the continual 16 week regimen by applying the product every 2 to 3 days.
