Prescription Drug To Make Eye Lashes Grow
Blog Main Menu
A new treatment for the growth of eye lashes is increasingly becoming popular that requires prescription from a doctor. The drug bimatoprost (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) has been used in opthalmology for glaucoma patients. A side effect that has emerged is that it causes the growth of the lashes. It has now been approved in the USA for
 Results Reported After About 2 Months Of Daily Usage cosmetic use under the name of Latisse which basically is the same drug with a mascara brush applicator on the upper lashes only. The once a day application has received high ratings with upto 80% satisfied clients within two months. It is not available yet in the UK but Latisse makers are confident to launch it by the end of the year.
In one trial After 16 weeks, participants in the trial saw an average of 25% longer and 106% thicker lashes than before. Unfortunately, once treatment stopped, the effects began to subside, with eyelashes gradually returning to normal as new ones grew in.
Bimatoprost is the active ingredient in the formula of LATISSE™ and is a structural prostaglandin analog, a lipid compound derived from fatty acids designed to bind to prostaglandin (PG) receptors. PG receptors are present in hair, particularly in the dermal papilla and outer root sheath. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, PG receptors are thought to be involved in the development and regrowth of the hair follicle by increasing the percent of hairs in and maybe the duration of the growth phase.
Disadvantages:
Long term-effects unknown for cosmetic use.
Common adverse events observed in the clinical trial included eye redness (3.6%), itchy eyes (3.6%) and skin hyperpigmentation (2.9%).
Another major drawback about Latisse is once you begin your Latisse treatment, you must keep using Latisse or you will lose the eyelashes that you have grown to love. The drug latisse will not look like your wearing fake eyelash extensions. Yes Latisse will thicken your eyelashes and may add up to 5mm of eye lash length. But it will be your own eyelashes and avoids the daily issues associated with other eyelash products such as eyelash curlers, false eyelashes, and other eyelash enhancements you may find your self using now.
Competitors:
Revitalash
While Revitalash has never received an FDA approval for any indication, Latisse can be marketed legally only for eyelash enhancement. So, you probably won’t be seeing advertisements for Latisse replacing those for Rogaine or Propecia. However, because Latisse has been better studied it will be more expensive than its rivals though it contains the same active ingredient

The good news is that although it use to be your only option for long eye lashes was a trip to the beauty salon, it is now possible to have thicker eyelashes at home.
Hypothyroidism or low thyroid function can effect eyelash hair growth. It is better to consult a skin doctor if you have any problem like this.
weeks to months – revitalash or latisse may help.
I cut my eyelashes accidently, will they grow back? How long does it take plucked eyelashes to grow back?

Hi, good post. I have been thinking about this topic,so thanks for posting. I’ll certainly be coming back to your posts.
I am a loyal Revitalash user, though I’ve tried some of the other products out there. Revitalash was one of the first eye lash growth products on the market and was developed by an eye Doctor, so I know it’s safe. It took about 8-9 weeks to see a noticable difference (doesn’t happen overnight). With mascara, my lashes touch my brow bone!! I get comments all the time. I’ve read some horror stories about Allergan’s new product, Latisse (irritating and discoloration). Has anyone tried it?
