Christine KellerWhat is Latisse?
Latisse is an treatment to grow fuller eyelashes. It’s a prescription drug that you apply under your eyes and it makes them look longer, thicker and fuller. You can use this product for up to 12 months at a time. There are many alternatives available to people who want to try something different than using eye drops or mascara.
How Latisse Works?
The active ingredient in Latisse is bimatoprost which works by increasing the amount of hair follicles on the upper lash of the eye. This causes more lashes to appear and thicken over time. The results may be subtle but they’re noticeable after about 6 weeks.
If you don’t see any changes within 2-3 months then there might not be anything else left to do. However if you continue with regular application of Latisse every day, you should start seeing some improvement.
Other Products Containing Bimatoprost
Careprost
Careprost has been proven to work just as well if not even more effective than Latisse. The only downside is that it takes about 3 weeks before you see results. But once you do start seeing results, they last much longer than those from Latisse.

Eyelash Extensions vs. Latisse
Latisse is definitely better for people who want instant results. If you are looking for long term effects, then you need to go for extensions.
Eyelash extensions are instantaneously applied which can be removed at any time. They last longer than Latisse but may fall out or break off. Long hours in the technician’s chair, and glue on the lash line, may irritate some women. Positively, they are more permanent.
Latisse is a prescription drug that you apply to your eyelashes every night. You can use it if you want to grow out your eyelashes. It works by stimulating hair growth. You can buy it over the counter but it is expensive. It takes about 6 weeks before you see any results. The downside is the long wait for the results. The upside is that it is easier to apply than other forms of extensions.
