Buy Latisse

Latisse (Bimatoprost) topical solution is primarily used for the treatment of hypotrichosis, a condition characterized by inadequate or not enough eyelashes. Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Latisse, is a synthetic prostaglandin analog. The exact way it performs this function is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve several processes. One of the key actions of bimatoprost is its effect on the hair follicles. It extends the anagen phase, which is the active growth phase of the hair follicles. This means that the eyelashes spend more time in the growth phase, allowing them to become longer and thicker over time. It also enhances the pigmentation of the eyelashes, making them appear darker. This effect is believed to be a result of the drug's impact on the melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives color to hair and skin.

Latisse Directions:

This medication is available as a topical solution which is to be applied to the base of the upper eyelashes once a day using a sterile applicator. Before applying Latisse, ensure that your face is clean, and any makeup has been removed. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Latisse. You can reinsert your lenses 15 minutes after application. Latisse typically comes with sterile applicators. Each applicator should be used only once and then discarded to prevent contamination. Place one drop of Latisse on the sterile applicator that comes with the medication. Avoid letting the tip of the bottle or the applicator touch any surface to maintain sterility. Apply Latisse to the base of the upper eyelashes, along the lash line. Start from the inner part of the lash line and move towards the outer part. Ensure that the solution is applied to the skin of the upper eyelid where the eyelashes meet the skin. Blot any excess solution with a tissue to prevent it from running onto other areas of the face. Do not apply Latisse to the lower eyelashes or directly into the eyes. However, it is not expected to cause any harm if it gets into your eyes. Latisse is typically applied once a day, preferably in the evening, for best results. Using it more frequently will not increase its effectiveness. Apply Latisse consistently every day for the prescribed duration. It's important to note that these instructions are general, and your doctor may provide specific guidelines tailored to your needs. Your doctor will also determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your response to Latisse. Store Latisse at room temperature and protect it from direct sunlight or sources of intense light. Store Latisse in a safe place that is out of reach of children and pets.

The active ingredient in Latisse, bimatoprost, was originally used to treat glaucoma, a condition that causes increased pressure in the eyes. During clinical trials, it was discovered that one of the side effects of bimatoprost was increased eyelash growth. This led to the development of Latisse as a cosmetic treatment for inadequate eyelashes. Therefore it is an effective treatment option for inadequate or not enough eyelashes. Also through different clinical trials, it has been shown to be safe to use with minimal but rare side effects. The half-life of Latisse is about 45 minutes although it may vary depending on individual factors. Therefore it is important to use this medication as prescribed by your doctor to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
