Latisse is a revolutionary topical solution proven to promote the growth of fuller, longer and thicker eyelashes. The main ingredient of Latisse is bimatoprost, originally used to treat patients suffering from glaucoma. Latisse is the first FDA-approved eyelash treatment that keeps the eyelashes in their growing phase for as long as it´s being used. Latisse can only be obtained by prescription after a thorough examination by one of the best San Francisco plastic surgeons, Dr. Joel Beck.
Bay Area patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their eyelashes that may be too thin and/or short are the best candidates for Latisse. Patients suffering from hypotrichosis, a condition associated with inadequate eyelashes, are also able to successfully grow eyelashes with Latisse.
Latisse is a topical solution that is applied daily along the upper eyelids only. Latisse is packaged in a small bottle that generally lasts up to 30 days, if used as recommended. Sterile, one-time use applicators are provided with the product for patients’ convenience. Latisse results can be seen within the first four to six weeks and eyelashes continue to grow for the next eight weeks. Once Latisse is discontinued, eyelashes gradually return to their previous state.
Latisse is a take-home treatment that does not require any down time. Most of our San Francisco / San Jose Latisse patients apply Latisse before bedtime and are able to continue to wear eye makeup, contact lenses and/or eyeglasses shortly after applying the solution. Mild skin irritation and/or redness is associated with Latisse, including temporary eyelid darkening.
Latisse has helped numerous Bay Area patients achieve thicker, longer and fuller eyelashes that are completely natural. Additional facial cosmetic procedures offered by Dr. Beck include Botox injections, facial peels, laser skin resurfacing and laser hair removal in San Francisco.
