Eyelashes enhance the beauty of the eyes and those whose eyelashes are short and thin are constantly finding ways to make them thicker and longer. Hence the ever spiraling demand for eyelash enhancers. While there are many products available in this category most of them do not have the required safety clearances and cannot also guarantee results.

Latisse has the distinction of being the only treatment that has the approval from the FDA and is a prescription drug that cannot be bought off the shelf. It assures a transformation of the user’s eyelashes from thin, short, inadequate and brittle to long, healthy and thick ones.

It was invented as a treatment for a medical condition called hypotrichosis, in which patients have inadequate eyelashes that are too thin and is a 0.3% bimatprost ophthalmic solution and considered to be the perfect treatment for such a condition. It is prescribed by doctors for patients whose eyelashes start falling and becoming thin for a variety of reasons. It has been clinically tried and tested for its effectiveness and for safety. Its effectiveness is evident after four to sixteen weeks of regular use.

The gel must be applied after washing face thoroughly to remove all traces of make up and after drying eyelids thoroughly. It has to be applied in the same manner as an eyeliner that must touch only the upper eyelashes where the skin and eyelashes meet. Excess amounts of the formulation must be wiped off.

It is needed only in a very small quantity and is free from any side effects or reactions. Its results are pleasing to the user and onlookers are also found to be admiring such gorgeous eyelashes. Celebrities are always on the lookout for beauty enhancing products and prefer this treatment of getting naturally longer lashes to artificial eyelashes and mascara coated ones.

Latisse is strong enough to bring results with a single application everyday in a small amount. Scientific clearance about its safety makes it more authentic and since it is a prescription medicine, doctors vouch for its effectiveness. It can be applied with an eyeliner brush and left on the lashes.
