Longer lashes are one of the more desired assets of most women who prize the attention of men. There is undoubtedly something very seductive about a sexy woman with attractive thick, longer lashes who may flutter them at a man that she wants to attract. However it is unfortunate that not all women have long lashes. In fact, most women have shorter, sparse, thin or no lashes at all.

So how does one get longer lashes?

The answer up to recently is, of course, to use false lashes. Or get eyelash extensions. Or use mascara. All of which smacks of one thing: fake.

The latest answer is one which is set to take the world by storm. Grow lashes of your own. Grow eyelashes. Capitalising on the discovery that users of an eyedrop for the treatment of glaucoma tended to grow thicker, longer lashes, Allergan formulated a 0.03% solution of bimatoprost and named it Latisse. FDA approval was obtained for its usage for growing lashes in end 2008. All it takes is 8 weeks of consistent once per night application of this preparation to the upper eyelid margin to get beautiful, thicker, longer lashes that you can proudly call your own.

Latisse is a preparation of bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution in a 3ml bottle designed for usage on the eyelids to grow longer eyelashes. Latisse has been shown in scientific studies to grow longer lashes and increase the numbers of lashes by virtue of its effect on the eyelash follicles. Regular usage of Latisse causes the lashes to grow longer, thicker and darker.

Latisse is designed to be applied using a special sterile applicator. One drop of Latisse is placed on the applicator The drop is to be applied to the upper eyelid margin at the base of the lashes. Any excess is to be blotted off. One drop is used per night per upper eyelid. It is not recommended to use Latisse in the lower eyelid. Instillation of Latisse drops into the eyes will cause pigmentary changes in the iris. Contact lenses should be removed before application of Latisse as the bimatoprost solution contains benzalkonium chloride as a preservative which will be absorbed by the soft contact lenses.

It is noted that growth of new eyelashes will start as early as 8 weeks from onset of treatment. However, the new eyelashes will drop off after several weeks to months once Latisse is discontinued.

The potential for hair growth in other areas on repeated contact with Latisse solution is possible. It is thus important that there be no prolonged contact with the solution by the prompt wiping off of any excess.

Side Effects Of Latisse

Latisse is a brand of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% made by Allergan Inc. Bimatoprost was initially used in a preparation for the eye called Lumigan. Its function was to reduce the intraocular pressure in cases of open-angle glaucoma, a condition of increased pressure in the eye which led to blindness in untreated cases. It was noted that users of Lumigan had an amazing growth of thicker and longer eyelashes after a few weeks of instillation of the eyedrop. Further research ended up with the development of Latisse to capitalize on this observed side effect.

Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin receptor stimulant whose effect is to stimulate the growth of hair follicles and lengthen the growth phase of the stimulated hair. The end result which shows within 8 weeks is thicker, longer lashes. Application of the Latisse solution is via a sterile disposable applicator, once nightly to the upper eyelid margin at the base of the lashes.

Side effects are uncommon, but need to be mentioned.
The most common side effect is eye irritation or itchiness due to the solution getting into the eye.
Sometimes some eye redness is noted because of the same reason.
Some pigmentation or darkening of the skin near the lid margin may be noted, which is probably reversible.
Some pigmentation of the iris may occur, which may be permanent.
Eye dryness may occur.

Latisse For Longer Eyelashes – How Much Does It Cost?

Latisse is bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%. It works by stimulating the growth of hair follicles and maintaining the hair in its growth phase for a longer time, resulting in thicker, longer lashes. These effects remain as long as the Latisse solution is applied.

Thus in calculating the cost of Latisse treatment one will have to take into account that treatment will be long term. The cost of Latisse, which is a prescription drug, is estimated to be at about $120 for a bottle that lasts 30days.

Rather expensive a treatment. However the cost of alternatives such as eye lash extensions can vary from $250 to $600, and with replacement every 8 weeks or so, costs can add up to quite a bit. Also, if you consider the fact that surgery for eyelash transplant will cost much more (about $3,000 per eye), or that the ultimate goal of longer eyelashes is to look good, both for yourself and for your man, would the cost then be that important? It is said that for a woman to look beautiful, costs are immaterial. This is one situation where the Latisse cost is not important.
