Chicago LATISSE™: A new innovation for lashes

LATISSE™ solution is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for thin or sparse eyelashes to make them grow longer, fuller and darker.

LATISSE™ is believed to affect the growth period of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this growing period; and second, it increases the number of hairs in your lashes. Each evening, just apply the once-a-day treatment to the base of the top lashes, just like eyeliner. Results may be seen starting at 4 weeks with full, lush results after 16 weeks.

If you miss an application or two, don't try to play catch up. Just apply the LATISSE™ treatment the next evening and stay on schedule. If you stop using the solution, your lashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.

Always consult your doctor before starting this treatment. It is best to get prescribed LATISSE™ by a doctor who is familiar with the solution. Your doctor will go over the ingredients as well with you to make sure you are not allergic.

The most common side effects after using LATISSE™ solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. If you do experience on of these side effects, its not a sign of an allergic reaction or inflammation, and symptoms should only last for a short period of time. In the event that you accidentally get LATISSE™ in your eye or experience a side effect, don't fret. It is an ophthalmic drug product, which means it is not expected to cause harm and the eye does not have to be rinsed.
