Latisse® Treatment for Eyelash Growth in California

About Latisse® Eyelash Serum

The lashes displayed are unretouched, without mascara. If you stop using LATISSE^®, your eyelashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months. Results may vary from eye to eye. There may be differences in eyelash length, thickness, fullness, pigmentation (darkness), number of eyelash hairs or the direction of eyelashes. If you experience any of these variations in your lashes, they will usually go away once you stop using LATISSE^®.

Great eyelashes don’t just happen overnight. That’s why it’s important to note that LATISSE^® solution works gradually and remarkably — with full results at week 16. Once you begin, you must continue applying the topical solution each night and follow the directions for best results. If you stop using LATISSE^® at any time, your eyelashes will return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.

Set Your Sights on Growth

As the treatment progresses, you’ll first begin to see changes in length. Then, gradually, you’ll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes. If you’re satisfied with your results by week 8, don’t stop there. Stick with the treatment. After week 16, you’ll see the full effect of LATISSE^® solution — and so will others. After that, you can talk to your Berman Skin Institute provider about ongoing use.

Results were proven in a clinical study.

The LATISSE® clinical study was conducted at 16 sites across the country and included 278 participants of varying ages (22 to 78). The study tested LATISSE® solution and a vehicle (or placebo), which was LATISEE® without its active ingredient. Neither patients nor Clinical Investigators knew which group received what treatment. By week 16, the results showed that 78% (107/137) of participants experienced a significant increase in overall eyelash prominence (including elements of length, fullness and darkness), compared to 18% (26/141) for the vehicle group.

Clinical trial results showed lashes were:
25% longer (2% for vehicle)
106% fuller (12% for vehicle)
18% darker (3% for vehicle)

Frequently Asked Questions about Eyelash Treatments

What are the side effects of Latisse?

LATISSE® does have some side effects, the most common of which are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. These were reported in approximately 4% of patients.

Other less common side effects typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE® is applied, or in the eyes. These include eyelid skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids. Eyelid skin darkening is a result of increased melanin in the skin, making your eyelid skin look a little darker close to where the solution is applied to the skin. This is expected to reverse after several weeks to months if you decide to stop using the product.

If you’re using LATISSE® solution and you develop a new ocular condition or reaction (e.g., trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, or need to have eye surgery, be sure to talk to your doctor immediately concerning the continued use of LATISSE®.

For more information, please see our Safety and FAQ pages.

Is there anything I should know before applying Latisse?

Do not use LATISSE® if you are allergic to one of its ingredients. If you use/used prescription products for eye pressure problems, use LATISSE® under doctor care. May cause brown darkening of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. LATISSE® may cause eyelid skin darkening which may be reversible. Only apply at base of upper lashes. DO NOT APPLY to lower lid. Hair may grow outside the treatment area. If you have eye problems/surgery, consult your doctor. Common side effects include itchy and red eyes. If discontinued, lashes gradually return to previous appearance.

These are not all the possible side effects of LATISSE®. For more information, please talk to your doctor.

Please see LATISSE® full Product Information.

Is Latisse approved by the FDA?

LATISSE® is an FDA-approved treatment to grow eyelashes for people with inadequate or not enough lashes.

Went in for botox for aging skin because it was cost effective, non-invasive, no downtime and was told flat out NO and was recommended a harsh laser treatment which is not cost effective, invasive and has downtime. Was told NO by a doctor that had so much botox he couldn't smile. It had nothing to do with what I wanted - it had to do with who I was as a person #bigot #genderphobe

Update: Appreciate the quick response and action on this review. Their text reminders were picked up by my spam filter, so be sure to add their # to your contacts! Updating to 4 stars because otherwise I had a good experience with this office and Dr. Pyles.I went here for a 1-off skin concern a year ago. The front desk scheduled a follow-up appointment without my knowledge for a year later. I missed their reminder call the day before the appointment (they called at 8 am and it went to voicemail). By the time I listened to their voicemails 2 days later I found out I would be charged $150 for missing the appointment.
