Lengthen Your Lashes with Prescription LATISSE

Do you use mascara, false eyelashes, or eyelash extensions to improve the appearance of your eyelashes? Unfortunately, when a person is dealing with eyelashes that are short, light, or thin, they feel like their eyes have very little definition. Having long, dark eyelashes is something that has been associated with beauty for hundreds of years. If you were not born with long and attractive eyelashes, you have to turn to mascara, false eyelashes, or eyelash extensions. At least, you used too. We invite you to learn how you can lengthen your lashes with prescription LATISSE®.

A Way to Improve Your Own Eyelashes

The very first thing that you should know is that this prescription medication is going to help improve the appearance of your own eyelashes. It is going to change the way they grow; it is not like mascara. And the product is not like false eyelashes or eyelash extensions where synthetic lashes are adhered to your natural lashes or your upper lash line. This amazing product is actually going to change the growing cycle that your eyelashes go through and eventually make them longer, darker, and thicker.

It is good to emphasize the point that you will not get results right away. Since the growing cycle of your eyelashes is changed with prescription LATISSE®, it is going to take some time for you to see results. Most individuals notice a change in their natural eyelashes just a couple of weeks after they begin using the product. The full results are usually seen about six months from the time they start to use the product.

How LATISSE® Is Used

Since this is a prescription medication, you will need to visit with Dr. Reena Patel in order to have the product prescribed to you. Dr. Patel can give you exact instructions on how to apply the product.

In most cases, doctors encourage their clients to wash their face before going to sleep at night. They must remove all of their eye makeup. Next, LATISSE® is applied on the upper lash line. A one time applicator that comes with the prescription medication will be used to apply the product. Just the smallest amount of it is applied on the upper lash line and then will transfer to the lower lash line when you blink. Multiple one-time applicators come along with the prescription.
