LATISSE® in Atlanta, GA

LATISSE® is a recent introduction to the world of cosmetic treatments, and the first FDA-approved product for the growth of upper eyelashes. Regular daily application of LATISSE® results in the growth of new, thicker, darker upper lashes in 80 percent of the women who use it as directed.


Using a special applicator supplied with the product, LATISSE® is applied to the base of upper lashes only – not lower lashes – where the eyelash meets the skin of the upper lid. Applications must be made daily to see the effects of LATISSE® which begin to appear within 4 to 8 weeks of initial application. Full effects of the LATISSE® treatment will become visible at 16 weeks after the first use, and can be maintained as long as the regular application is maintained. Some users have reported being able to maintain those results by applying the product every other day, once the initial 16-week period is over; however, LATISSE® manufacturer Allergan recommends daily treatment be maintained to ensure new lashes continue to grow.


You can find LATISSE® at your treating physician’s office, or at most local pharmacies. The cost of a single bottle, which contains a 45-day supply of LATISSE® can range from $110 to $150.



For women looking for luscious, flirty lashes, a new FDA-approved product could be just what the doctor ordered. LATISSE® manufactured by Allergan, is the only FDA-approved treatment specifically designed to grow fuller, thicker lashes of the upper eyelid in just 4 to 8 weeks of daily treatment. The solution is safe for all eyes, even sensitive eyes, and is applied with a special applicator included with the LATISSE® solution. By applying the liquid to the base of upper lashes, where they meet the eyelid skin, individuals can see the full results of this treatment at 16 weeks after the initial application.


Unlike surface applications, like thick mascara which can sometimes make lashes look slightly thicker and darker, LATISSE® actually causes new, darker lashes to grow, resulting in a natural, more appealing look. And LATISSE® users can continue to enjoy their results, as long as regular application of the LATISSE® product continues. Some women have reported being able to use the product only every other day following the initial 16-week application, while achieving the same results; however, the product is intended for daily use.


LATISSE® can be purchased from treating physicians and pharmacies, for a price ranging from $110 to $150 per bottle, which contains a 45-day supply.



LATISSE® is the first FDA approved prescription treatment for the growth of fuller, thicker upper lashes. The LATISSE® product is a special solution which is applied daily to the base of the lashes of the upper eyelid, using special applicators which are supplied with the product. As the natural growth cycle of your lashes occurs, new lashes will begin to grow, becoming evident at about 4 to 8 weeks after you begin to use the product. The new lashes reach their fullest growth at 16 weeks after your initial application of LATISSE® .


The product is safe even for individuals with sensitive eyes. Some individuals may experience slight itching or redness of their eyes, but these are temporary and usually resolve once the body becomes accustomed to the product.


Your new lashes will remain through the normal lash growth cycle, which typically takes about 1 to 2 months.


Individuals should understand that LATISSE® is intended for every day use, and once use stops, your lashes will eventually return to their pre-treatment appearance, at about 4 to 6 weeks after treatment ends.

LATISSE® is available from treating physicians and pharmacies, and a bottle containing a 45-day supply will range in price from $110 to $150.
