LATISSE® in Montgomery, Alabama

Long, healthy eyelashes can beautifully frame your eyes and enhance your natural appearance. However, aging, genetics, certain medical conditions, and everyday wear from mascara or eyelash extensions can all contribute to thinner, shorter lashes over time.

LATISSE® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment proven to grow your natural eyelashes longer, fuller, and darker. At Plastic Surgery Associates of Alabama, we offer LATISSE to patients who want to enhance their natural lashes without extensions or false eyelashes.

If you've always wished your natural lashes were longer or have noticed thinning over time, LATISSE may be the solution you've been looking for.

LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) is an FDA-approved prescription treatment designed to improve inadequate or insufficient eyelashes, a condition known as eyelash hypotrichosis.

Applied once daily along the upper eyelid margin, LATISSE works by extending the natural growth phase of your eyelashes. Over time, this allows lashes to grow longer, become thicker, and appear darker.

Unlike mascara or temporary lash enhancements, LATISSE helps improve the appearance of your own natural eyelashes.

Your eyelashes naturally grow in cycles. As we age, these growth cycles become shorter, resulting in lashes that may appear thinner, shorter, or less noticeable.

LATISSE works by extending the active growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle while increasing the number of hairs that continue growing.

With consistent daily use, patients typically notice:

• Longer eyelashes
• Fuller lash density
• Darker natural color
• Improved overall lash appearance

Results develop gradually as your eyelashes progress through their normal growth cycle.

LATISSE is simple to incorporate into your nightly skincare routine.

Each evening:

1. Remove makeup and contact lenses.
2. Place one drop of LATISSE onto the provided sterile applicator.
3. Carefully apply the solution along the skin at the base of the upper eyelashes.
4. Blot away any excess solution.

A new sterile applicator should be used for each eye.

LATISSE should only be applied to the upper eyelid unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.

LATISSE works gradually, so patience is important.

Many patients begin noticing improvement after approximately eight weeks of consistent daily use.

The most noticeable results typically develop around 16 weeks, when lashes appear longer, fuller, and darker.

Continued use is necessary to maintain your results. If treatment is discontinued, your eyelashes will gradually return to their previous appearance over time.
