Latisse® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) is a prescription treatment to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker. Latisse® is for patients with not enough or inadequate eyelashes (hypotrichosis). The onset of Latisse® is gradual and in the clinical trial, the majority of users saw significant improvement by 2 months although individual results may vary.

If discontinued, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance. It is possible for a difference in eyelash length, thickness, fullness, pigmentation, number of eyelash hairs, and/or direction of eyelash growth to occur between eyes. These differences, should they occur, will usually go away if you stop using Latisse®.

Directions for use

Latisse® solution is packaged as a 3 mL bottle of solution with 60 accompanying sterile, disposable applicators. The recommended dosage is one application nightly to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes only. Once nightly, start by ensuring your face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed. Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of Latisse® on the area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip (see Illustration 1). Then immediately draw the applicator carefully across the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes (where the eyelashes meet the skin) going from the inner part of your lash line to the outer part (see Illustration 2). Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid margin. Dispose of the applicator after one use.Repeat for the opposite upper eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator. This helps minimize any potential for contamination from one eyelid to another.

DO NOT APPLY in your eye or to the lower lid. ONLY use the sterile applicators supplied with Latisse® to apply the product. If you miss a dose, don’t try to “catch up.” Just apply Latisse® solution the next evening. Fifty percent of patients treated with Latisse® in a clinical study saw significant improvement by 2 months after starting treatment.

If any Latisse® solution gets into the eye proper, it is not expected to cause harm. The eye should not be rinsed. 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. Contact lenses should be removed prior to application of Latisse® and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.

Use of Latisse® more than once a day will not increase the growth of eyelashes more than use once a day. Store Latisse® solution at 36F to 77F (2C to 25C).

Important Safety Information

If you are using prescription products for lowering eye pressure or have a history of eye pressure problems, only use Latisse® under close doctor supervision. Latisse® may cause eyelid skin darkening which may be reversible, and there is a potential for increased brown iris pigmentation which is likely to be permanent. There is a potential for hair growth to occur in areas where Latisse® solution comes in repeated contact with skin surfaces. If you develop or experience any eye problems or have eye surgery, consult your doctor immediately about continued use of Latisse®. The most common side effects after using Latisse® solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. For more information on Latisse®, please see the accompanying full prescribing information.
