If you’ve been applying mascara for thicker, fuller lashes but you’re disappointed with the results, it’s time to turn to an eyelash serum. You can have longer, more luscious eyelashes with our medical-grade solution – **Latisse**. 

## What is Latisse?
[Latisse](https://www.persimmon.life/pricing) is the first FDA-approved lash growth serum used to treat hypotrichosis, or thin, short eyelashes. This prescription treatment is proven to grow lashes fuller, longer, and darker. It’s also safe and effective for anyone who has trouble growing eyelashes has lost eyelashes due to stress or illness, or wants fuller lashes. 

The Latisse solution contains bimatoprost, the active ingredient that encourages lash growth. It mimics your body’s natural growth chemical prostaglandin. When applied, Latisse stimulates hair growth, promoting eyelash growth and giving you the lashes of your dreams. 

## How to Apply Latisse?
You can apply Latisse once per day to increase the length and thickness of your lashes. We recommend applying the serum at night, about an hour before bed. Start from the base of your upper eyelashes and sweep up to help your lashes grow longer and healthier. Always wash your hands before applying Latisse and use clean applicators to avoid any irritation.

Latisse should only be applied to your upper eyelashes. It cannot be used to enhance your lower lashes, and it may even increase the risk that Latisse touches your eye or causes side effects.

## When Will You See Results?
Latisse naturally stimulates eyelash growth from the very first day. You will start to see results in a few weeks, starting with increased lash length. The typical eyelash growth cycle is between 8 to 12 weeks, so it may take up to 12 or 16 weeks to achieve the full results. This includes thicker, darker lashes that draw more attention to your eyes. 

## How Long Does Latisse Last?
During the first four months, apply Latisse daily to get the best results. After this initial treatment period, you may switch to applying Latisse every other day to maintain results. If you stop using Latisse altogether, your lashes will eventually return to their pre-treatment look. They’ll lose the extra length, thickness, and color you noticed while using Latisse.

## Is Latisse Safe?
Latisse didn’t start as an eyelash serum. It started as a medicated eyedrop to treat glaucoma. First created in 2001, Allergan followed the results of the eyedrops and found an unusual side effect. The eyedrops were making patients’ eyelashes thicker and longer! Allergan set to work developing a lash serum, and it received FDA approval in 2008. Latisse has gone through rigorous testing and clinical trials, and it’s a safe and effective treatment to grow longer, healthier eyelashes.

Just like other medications, Latisse does have a risk of side effects. Most are mild and uncommon. However, some people may experience itching or redness around the eyes or have dry eyes. Side effects will end if you stop using Latisse.
