Latisse
Why do
Women Choose
Latisse®?
…..
Latisse® is the first and only FDA-approved treatment clinically proven to grow longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes. Originally developed as a glaucoma medication, Latisse® was found to enhance lash growth over time — making it a popular option for patients seeking fuller, more defined lashes without extensions or mascara.
Common reasons patients choose Latisse® include:
- Naturally short or sparse lashes
- Lash thinning due to aging or stress
- Desire for longer, darker lashes without makeup
- Sensitivity to lash extensions or false lashes
- Preference for a low-maintenance, at-home solution
- Wanting a more youthful, open-eyed look
What to Expect (Procedure Overview)
Latisse® is a prescription topical solution that you apply at home once daily to the base of your upper lashes. With consistent use, most patients notice visible results within weeks — with full growth achieved after 12 to 16 weeks.
Consultation & Planning
Before starting Latisse®, we’ll evaluate your medical history and eye health to ensure you’re a good candidate. You’ll receive instructions on how to use the product correctly and safely to get the best results.
Treatment Use
Latisse® is applied nightly with a sterile, single-use applicator along the upper lash line — similar to applying eyeliner. It should not be used on the lower lashes. Over time, the active ingredient (bimatoprost) extends the growth phase of your lashes, helping them grow longer and thicker.
Maintenance
Once optimal results are achieved (typically around 16 weeks), many patients transition to applying Latisse® every 2–3 days to maintain their results. If use is discontinued, lashes gradually return to their original appearance over several weeks.
Your Safety, Always
Latisse® is a powerful medication and should only be used under medical supervision. At Selarom, we ensure patients understand the proper technique, dosage, and safety measures to avoid side effects like irritation or darkening of the eyelid skin.
We monitor your progress and make adjustments if needed — so your lash transformation is safe and effective.
Application Areas & Customization Options
While Latisse® is only approved for use on the upper lashes, it can be part of a broader eye-enhancement strategy when combined with other treatments like Botox®, eyelid surgery, or under-eye fillers.
