how
to use LATISSE™
Like every
routine, applying LATISSE™ is all about consistency and
precision. Once you follow the basic guidelines, the results
will come gradually over time. To see the full effect of your
eyelash transformation, take a "before" picture
before you start the treatment, and keep taking pictures every
4 weeks to chart your progress.
Directions
for nightly use:
- Before
applying LATISSE™ each night, ensure your face is clean,
makeup and contact lenses are removed, and any other facial
care products have already been applied.
- We
recommend using our new thin eyeliner brush, FREE if you
get your LATISSE from Dr. Hoenig.
- Place
one drop of solution inside the cap of the bottle. Dip the
brush in, and apply to the base of the eyelashes, just as
you would apply liquid eyeliner. This area should feel lightly
moist without runoff.
- Blot
any excess solution beyond the eyelid with a tissue.
Follow
these guidelines for best results:
Make
it a routine: Try to incorporate LATISSE™ into
your nightly routine — for example, after you've washed
your face and brushed your teeth.
Keep
it handy: Store the LATISSE™ bottle near your other
skin care products or toothbrush, so you won't forget to
apply it each night.
Have
patience: LATISSE™ takes time to work. Only use
it once a night, and don't overuse it, as this may increase
the chance of experiencing eye redness or itchiness.
Start
fresh: If your eye makeup remover leaves an oily residue
on your eyelids, wipe off any excess oils with soap and
water to ensure a clean surface before you apply LATISSE™.
Don't
play catch up: If you miss a dose one night, don't apply
more just to catch up. Simply apply LATISSE™ the next
evening and stay on schedule.
Beware
of germs: Don't let the tip of the bottle or applicator
contact your fingers or any other unintended surface, in
order to avoid contamination.
Chart
your progress: When you start using LATISSE™ solution,
be sure to mark your calendar and take pictures throughout
weeks (0, 4, 8, 12, 16), so you can have your own "Before
& After Gallery."
LATISSE™
works gradually and remarkably
— starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks.
Once you begin treatment, you could start to see results in
as little as 4 weeks, but you must continue applying the topical
treatment each night and follow the directions for best results.
Remember results are gradual over time.
Your eyelashes
will experience real measurable growth. LATISSE™ works
from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you'll begin
to see changes in length, thickness and darkness gradually.
After week 16, you'll see the full effect of LATISSE™
— and so will others.
In the
clinical study, 78% saw significant increases in all of the
following three measurements at week 16: length, fullness
and darkness.
There
are possible side effects.
Throughout clinical trials, some users did experience itchy
eyes and eye redness. However, some users found that these
irritations went away once they became accustomed to the product
or began applying it properly. As with any prescription treatment,
always consult with your doctor for information and proper
usage of LATISSE™ solution.
