LATISSE solution is an ophthalmological treatment used to develop the lashes by making them longer, thicker and darker, buy Lumigan eyelash growth for longer and thicker lash hairs.

LATISSE solution is a formulation containing 0.03% ophthalmological solution bimatoprost, approved by the medical authorities for the treatment of the decrease in eyelash growth, see stopping growth (hypotrichosis).

Initially, medication against Glaucoma:

It is a drug, Lumigan from Allergan used to treat eye glaucoma which is the origin of Latisse. Glaucoma, the main symptom of which is the increase in IOP (intraocular pressure), Lumigan was initially applied as ophthalmological drops and the side effects of this treatment observed by the patients showed a stimulation of Growth and darker coloration of the eyelashes.

LATISSE® is an innovative product, available since the first quarter of 2009 in the United States for the treatment of elongation of the eyelashes. Used under prescription only, this medicine called Latisse 0.03% bimatoprost ophthalmological solution from Allergan is used in the treatment of hypotrichosis of the eyelashes, a disease resulting in a rarity or sometimes even a lack of eyelashes.

The Latisse solution acts in two ways to stimulate eyelash growth, one by increasing eyelash life, growth phase (anagen phase), and two it also provides the ingredients needed to stimulate eyelash growth during this phase.

What is known is that during clinical tests, most people have noticed a change in their eyelashes in about 4 to 8 weeks. At 16 weeks, 78% of patients found a significant increase in their lashes in dull length, thickness, and blackening.

The treatment

Daily treatment is done at the base of the eyelash on the upper eyelid with an applicator, the results are visible progressively from 8 weeks to 16 weeks the final result is obtained, the effect can last up to 5 months ( Average life of the eyelash) if treatment has been discontinued.

To maintain the effect, it is therefore recommended to continue the treatment.

What is Bimatoprost?

Bimatoprost is a synthetic drug that is close to the chemical structure and its therapeutic effects of natural biological compounds called prostaglandins. The main therapeutic effect of Bimatoprost is to lower the intraocular pressure and improve the growth of the eyelashes. The exact mechanism of action of Bimatoprost is not known. The drug helps to increase the flow of aqueous humor in patients with glaucoma. 

It also increases the phase of eyelash growth in women with hypotrichosis. With the anagen phase of growth, Bimatoprost increases the number of eyelashes and makes them thicker. Bimatoprost is currently approved in the United States under the trade names Latisse (used to increase eyelash growth) and Lumigan (used for high intraocular pressure). Generic Latisse provided by our company is made by Ajanta under the trade name Beat. The drug has no applicator although you can buy Latisse online which comes with the applicator.

When is Bimatoprost prescribed?

• Primarily, the drug is used to treat intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma. By controlling intraocular pressure Bimatoprost helps prevent the development of blindness.

• Bimatoprost is also indicated for the growth of eyelashes in patients with hypotrichosis.

How is ophthalmic Bimatoprost used?

You should thoroughly wash your hands before using the ophthalmic solution. Do not touch the tip of the bottle with the medicine.

Wash your hands before applying ophthalmic drops. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or put in contact with your eyes or any other surface. Bimatoprost contains a preservative that can stain contact lenses. Remove contact lenses before using the solution. If you use Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution for eyelash growth, you should use a sterile applicator (which can be purchased at your local pharmacy). 

A drop of the solution should be placed closest to the tip of the applicator. Then, you should carefully trace the applicator along the skin at the base of the upper lashes. Do not apply in Eye or the lower eyelid area because excessive hair growth can occur. Eliminate any excess solution of the medication beyond the eyelid with a tissue. The applicator should be discarded after each use of this medication.

When should Bimatoprost not be used?

Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution is contraindicated in women with known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to any of the medicinal ingredients. Do not apply this medication to the lower eyelid (lower lash). Do not allow dropper contact with surrounding objects. Only a sterile applicator can be used for eyelash growth.

Do not use the medication if you have low intraocular pressure or infectious diseases in ophthalmology. After stopping this treatment, the eyelashes will gradually return to their normal size. Do not wear contact lenses when using Bimatoprost. Do not use this medication without consulting your doctor.

I will not address here the price of cosmetic care or even cosmetic surgery. No, this title is to be taken literally: it will be about "care" that can endanger your eyes. Reassure yourself, there are not legions, and I will address here two cases: Latisse, a drug diverted to promote the growth of eyelashes, and the depigmentation surgery of the iris, buy Latisse online and show the results yourself.

The case of Latisse

Latisse is a product marketed by the Allergan laboratory. Its active ingredient is bimatoprost, used in the Lumigan specialty, which reduces intraocular pressure. Indeed, the front part of the eye is filled with a liquid, aqueous humor. A subtle balance between its production and its evaluation makes it possible to maintain a stable intraocular pressure. When this balance is compromised by an excess of production or a decrease in the evacuation, there is intraocular hypertension. This is called glaucoma. We then use intraocular hypotensive, as bimatoprost.

It turned out that patients treated for glaucoma with Lumigan saw their lashes grow dramatically, which led to a diversion of the use of this drug. It is even officially sold with this indication in the United States, under the name of Latisse. The use should normally be made on medical prescription, after checking for the absence of ocular disorders, in particular, intraocular pressure abnormalities (hypertension is harmful, but intraocular hypotension is good no Longer term). Latisse is, therefore, a priori reserved for cases of hypotrichosis (too few eyelashes or lashes really short), and not to make a fringe of Barbiepouffe.

Unfortunately, as always, a medical prescription is not enough to avoid an abusive use of the Latisse. Besides the complainant doctors who prescribe it when there is not a real necessity, it is possible to obtain them on the net. What further adds a risk, because how can you be sure of the quality of the product, since official dealers are supposed to apply for a prescription?

Yes, because there is a risk. As I said, chronic intraocular hypotension, if less harmful than hypertension, is not the ideal. If the intraocular pressure is artificially decreased, how to diagnose glaucoma, as it will appear in the standards?

The laboratory warns that redness and itching of the eye may occur, that it is not an allergic reaction and that treatment should be discontinued. However, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) typed them on the fingers, as it is not specified to consult in this case. And without the consultation of an ophthalmologist, it is not possible for the patient to differentiate between conjunctivitis allergic to the product (since, despite the statements of the lab, this is a bimatoprost being known for Cause) and symptoms of a more serious ailment of the eye.

Another possible side effect is irreversible brown pigmentation of the iris (or parts of the iris).This does not, to my knowledge, have any effect on the health of the eye, but if you have light blue eyes. it's a task.

It is also stated to apply Latisse only to the level of the upper eyelashes. Why simply because the product stimulates the growth of the eyelashes/hairs on the areas where it is applied. If the product is applied at night, with the eyelids closed, there may be a transfer on the lower lash razor or even on the mucosa, which can lead to ectopic eyelashes (= not where they are Should be), on the mucous membrane for example. These ectopic eyelashes can cause irritation/inflammation of the mucous membranes or even lesions of the cornea if the eyelash is directed towards it.

Another side effect is abnormal staining of the upper eyelid skin, which can then extend under the eye even if the product is not applied. This abnormality is normally reversible, but some abnormal staining may persist long enough.

There are so many accelerator products to grow lashes on the market. However, few of them have produced extraordinary results. Many will make a small difference, but nothing dramatically visible. I had written an article a few years ago about certain products on the market; careprost generic Latisse is one of those. You can buy careprost generic Latisse from any cosmetics store. These few products are only a tiny part of everything that exists.

But it turns out that a particular product really works, and gives superior results to everything that exists. The only problem: it must be prescribed by a doctor and it is not yet approved in France, but I wanted to talk about it anyway because all those who tested it praised it. This is Latisse.

Latisse is a registered trademark of Allergan, the same company that markets Botox Cosmetic, Juvederm (injection filler) and ... Natrelle breast implants (it's still amusing that here in Quebec we have A brand of milk called Natural). We are therefore far from the small harmless cosmetic product of pharmacy. We are at a medical level there.

Therefore, to be entitled to be prescribed Latisse, according to the manufacturer, the eyelashes must be inadequate or not sufficiently provided. But in fact, it seems that several doctors prescribe it quite easily. Obviously, I am not led to believe that the 1.5 million tubes sold in the first year of the launch were only for people with serious eyelashes !!!

The proof, on the site of Allergan, the promotion in progress is the following:

buy a pair of breast prosthesis Natrelle and receive a tube of Latisse for free! Again, we are far from the small gift with purchase makeup store!

It's simple, Latisse grows the eyelashes. They become not only longer, but also denser, stronger and darker. Treatment with Latisse lasts 16 weeks. Latisse is applied like eyeliner, at the base of the eyelashes superior to every day, and that's all. We begin to see results after a month, but the full potential is noticeable after the 4 months. The results are gradual.

The big disadvantage, however, is that if the treatment is stopped, the eyelashes return to their original state. Pity! So if we start, it becomes like a drug!

The other disadvantage is the possible side effects: red eyes, irritations, itching, hair that grows where Latisse is often in contact and rarer, skin that becomes darker where the product is applied or, in the case Where the product has been applied directly to the eye (case of ocular hypertension), the iris may become darker in some places. So nothing is perfect.

The product itself is new, but in fact, it has long existed (the active ingredient of the formula: bimatoprost) because it was initially a treatment for ocular hypertension. Patients who used it saw their eyelashes grow considerably. That's why Allergan marketed it as an eyelash product, even though it was not its primary use.

Obviously, the results may vary from one person to another. But in general, the comments of users seem to abound in the sense that Latisse is the most effective treatment they have tried. A tube of Latisse costs on the average US $ 120. It is quite expensive, especially when we know that if we stop treatment, the eyelashes regain their length and their general condition of origin! The product was approved by Health Canada in May 2010.
