"While pregnant with my second child at 23, I went through a lot of stress and, as a result, I began to lose my eyelashes... to the point where I literally had none! My eyes looked weird. It was embarrassing. I never realized the value of my eyelashes until they were gone.
To make up for the loss, I started wearing false eyelashes all the time, which wasn't always convenient. But, I kept wearing them… for decades! I'd pretty much given up hope of ever having eyelashes again.
Then, at age 61, I was asked to participate in a clinical study for eyelash growth by my doctor. He didn't make any promises, but I was hopeful. The results were amazing! Finally, my lashes grew back thick and long! I was so excited. Now I have beautiful, long eyelashes."
"I lost a lot of my eyelashes from wearing false eyelashes. LATISSE® really helped. After 16 weeks, the results were amazing."
"When I went to get a refill from my doctor, all the nurses and office workers came out to look at my new LATISSE® lashes. I love this product and will continue to use it."
"This product is FDA-approved, and comes from Allergan, a name I trust. I will absolutely tell all of my friends (and anyone who asks) about this lash growth product."
"Eyelash extensions ripped my lashes out. I went to my doctor, who prescribed LATISSE®. I've been using it ever since. My lashes are longer, darker and definitely fuller. I absolutely love LATISSE®".
"I’ve always had thin, short lashes. They were barely noticeable. Within the first month, my lashes started to grow longer and, within two months, they looked even better."
"My eyelashes got so long, the tips of my lashes hit the lenses in my sunglasses!"
"When LATISSE® came out, I was skeptical, but my doctor recommended it to me and within weeks I had lashes. Few at a time, but they were growing. In about 2 months, my lashes were thicker and darker. My friends and family see the difference."
Individual results may vary. In the clinical study, 78% of participants (versus 18% for vehicle) experienced a significant increase in overall eyelash prominence (including elements of length, fullness, and darkness) at week 16. Vehicle is the same solution as LATISSE®, without the active ingredient.
