If you stop using LATISSE® at any time, your eyelashes will return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months. Set your sights on growth. As the treatment progresses, you'll first begin to see changes in length. Then, gradually, you'll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes.
If you stop taking the medication as directed, you may only enjoy the full results of treatment for a couple of months. Once your upper eyelashes are no longer in the growth phase, they will continue to fall out as they normally would.
To maintain results of any hair growth promoter, be that Latisse for the lashes, minoxidil the scalp, or any drug that stimulates growth, taking a break is not recommended.
Answer: Latisse forever
You may use it 3 nights a week for maintenance and darkness of the lashes. As to using Latisse indefinitely, as long as you have not experienced any of the Latisse side effects and you are using it as prescribed, then you should be able to continue using Latisse just as needed.
LATISSE® use may cause increased brown iris pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely to be permanent. While very infrequent, increased iris pigmentation has occurred when LATISSE® was administered. It is possible for hair growth to occur in other areas of your skin that LATISSE® frequently touches.

For some patients Latisse can stop working after using for a long period of time and can build a resistance.
The deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus, lid thinning and fibrosis are unlikely to fully resolve with the discontinuation of Latisse. The effect is the permament premature aging of the eyelids.
Normally 1 drop is enough to cover both eyes. I also suggest you use any leftover product on your eyebrows, if they could use some thickening. Make sure you only put Latisse on the upper lash (NOT your lower lashes), and wipe off any excess product.
Is Latisse permanent? Latisse is not a permanent solution for longer eyelashes. You'll need to commit to applying the product for as long as you want your enhanced lashes to last. Once you stop using it, your lashes will return to their original length within a few months.
Almost everyone who tries it notices an increase in length and sometimes an increase in thickness and darkness. But results take a month or two - and money: You need to use Latisse on your upper eyelids for at least 8-10 weeks to get full growth and thickening of the lashes.
Answer: Adverse Reactions from Latisse
Droopy lower eyelids are not an adverse reaction that has been reported with Latisse. Fortunately, side effects from Latisse are quite uncommon. Less than 4 percent of people experienced redness, irritation and itching of the upper eyelid which was reversible upon discontinuation.
“Noted in patients using medical Latisse form with the active ingredient for medical purposes and placing the product directly IN the eyes.” There is no evidence that I know of showing that if Latisse is used correctly (at the lash line) it has caused any problems with fat loss.
Currently, there is only one product proven effective for growth and thickness, which is Latisse. The FDA-approved serum is formulated with an active ingredient called bimatoprost, which not only causes existing lashes to become longer but also stimulates growth in hair follicles not currently producing lashes.
Answer: Rare side effect but will go away when you stop using Latisse. Latisse can darken and/or redden the skin in the area where it is applied, but it's temporary and will go away after you stop using it.
Both formulas are effective, although Revitalash may take longer to work. In general, Revitalash is less expensive than Latisse. “Patients who have tried both may claim to have better results with one than the other,” says Dr. Hanson.
The answer is that there is no effect. Just as your eyelashes grow without using lash serum, they will also undergo the growth cycle as per normal when you stop using the serum. Your lash hair will shed during the telogen phase (not all at once) and grow during the anagen phase.
In general, a 5ml bottle can last between four and eight months. There are 112 doses in 5 milliliters. You will likely apply this daily for 16 weeks, or almost 4 months. In some cases, the medication may only need to be applied every day during the initiation phase.
In most instances latisse works well to increase hair growth and thickness, but it can in some instances (very rare) cause a short term telogen effluvium in which the hairs fall out and grow back. you still should be evaluated for other conditions of eye lash hair loss such as alopecia areata and hypothyroidism.
Latisse can be an expensive but potentially effective solution for eyebrow growth. To see results, you'll need to continually apply Latisse to your eyebrows.
This question is a good one! There is an incredible amount of false information being spread regarding potential change in eye color (irises) as a consequence of using Latisse to stimulate eyelash growth. To answer your question, no, Latisse will not change your eye color!
It is recommended to apply Latisse at night, when the face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed and all nightly facial products are already applied. Also, when applied at night, the benefits of Latisse affecting lower lash growth is higher, since the eyes are closed while sleeping.
