Myths about Latisse...

The subject of growing eyelashes has always intrigued women of all ages because everyone aspires to have long, curvy, thick and dark lashes. This can obviously raise their beauty quotient by few or more notches. Colleagues, friends and peers will give you that most elusive second look as they see your gorgeous eyes with long flirty lashes! You can certainly get naturally grown long and thick eyelashes with the help of world-renowned eye serum – Latisse (Bimatoprost 0.03%)! You can now visit our website and buy Latisse online.

But there are certain myths surrounding the use of this product called Latisse. This blog is all about busting those myths and bringing you closer to this highly effective ophthalmic drug. Now with feedback from various quarters quite a negligible percentage (just 4%) of Latisse users have complained of growing unwanted hair on their facial skin (on upper cheeks or close to eyebrows), persistent redness, swelling of eyelids or hyper-pigmentation of periocular skin. Now there are two possible solutions to these side effects of Latisse – one if you stop using the drug these effects can be reversed within a couple of days. Secondly if you use the drug more carefully without dripping or smudging over your facial skin then you can save yourself from these effects. Swelling, redness, itching or pigmentation and eyelid skin are temporary effects and they vanish by their own in a couple of days. If they don’t then you should consult with your eye expert who had prescribed you the drug.

Pigmentation of iris due to Generic Latisse is another myth associated with the drug that puts the prospective users on the back foot. One can understand the gravity of the issue as the complication (pigmentation of iris) is irreversible. However this effect is observed in just 1 to 2% of glaucoma patients who have to drop Bimatoprost 0.03% on the ocular surface to get rid of the blockage of Aqueous Humour and building up of intraocular pressure in the eye.  The application of Latisse is different as the drug is gently put at the base of upper eyelashes with the help of angled applicators. In this process your eye is exposed to just 5% of the drug as compared to glaucoma therapy where the drug is dropped on the ocular surface of the eye.

Blue eyed patients of Hypotrichosis are most worried about permanent change of colour of their eyes. But in fact they are the ones exposed to minimum risk of hyper-pigmentation as Bimatoprost increases the amount of melanin in the melanosomes and blue eyed patients have few melanosomes. In fact hazel and green eyed patients are at larger risk of pigmentation of iris. However such side effects in people using Latisse for a long time have not been documented. The key to avoiding any discolouration of iris is to use the eye serum as directed by your eye expert.

Latisse has been approved by FDA for safely growing eyelashes in patients of Hypotrichosis. With 16 weeks of regular therapy Latisse gives your longer, thicker and darker eyelashes without any damaging side effects if used as directed by eye expert.
