LATISSE® 5 mL – Bimatoprost 0.03% Prescription Eyelash Growth Treatment

LATISSE® 5 mL – Clinically Proven Prescription Eyelash Growth

Transform the appearance of thin, short, or sparse eyelashes with LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%), the FDA-approved prescription treatment for eyelash hypotrichosis. LATISSE helps your natural eyelashes grow longer, thicker, and darker, creating a fuller, more defined lash appearance without relying on cosmetic lash extensions.

How Does LATISSE Work?

LATISSE contains bimatoprost 0.03%, a prostaglandin analog believed to prolong the active growth phase (anagen phase) of the eyelash hair cycle. This allows eyelashes to grow longer and become more prominent over time. The precise mechanism of eyelash growth is not fully understood.

Unlike cosmetic eyelash conditioners that primarily improve the appearance or condition of existing lashes, LATISSE is a prescription medication clinically demonstrated to stimulate eyelash growth.

Clinically Demonstrated Results

In a 16-week clinical study, LATISSE demonstrated measurable improvements in eyelash growth compared with a vehicle solution without bimatoprost.

• 25% increase in eyelash length, on average
• 106% increase in eyelash fullness/thickness, on average
• 18% improvement in eyelash darkness, on average
• 78% of treated participants achieved a significant improvement in overall eyelash prominence, compared with 18% receiving the vehicle

Results develop progressively. Some patients notice improvement before eight weeks, with the full treatment response generally assessed at 16 weeks.

Why Choose LATISSE 5 mL?

The LATISSE 5 mL prescription treatment includes bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% and sterile disposable applicators for nightly application to the upper eyelid margins.

Continued treatment is necessary to maintain results. When LATISSE is discontinued, eyelashes gradually return toward their pretreatment appearance over several weeks to months.

LATISSE is a prescription medication. A medical evaluation is required to determine whether treatment is appropriate. Use only as prescribed and review the important safety information before beginning treatment.

Apply LATISSE once nightly as directed by your prescribing physician.

1. Cleanse your face and remove all makeup and contact lenses.
2. Remove one sterile, disposable applicator from its tray.
3. Place one drop of LATISSE solution on the applicator near the tip.
4. Carefully brush along the skin of the upper eyelid margin, where the eyelashes meet the skin, from the inner to outer lash line.
5. Blot any excess solution outside the upper eyelid margin.
6. Discard the applicator. Use a new sterile applicator to repeat the process on the opposite upper eyelid.

Important Application Guidelines

• Do not apply LATISSE to the lower eyelid.
• Do not place drops directly into the eye.
• Do not reuse applicators or allow the bottle tip to contact other surfaces.
• Wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting contact lenses.
• Applying LATISSE more than once daily will not increase eyelash growth.
• Use consistently as prescribed to maintain results.

Important Safety Information

LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) is a prescription medication indicated for treatment of inadequate eyelashes.

Do not use LATISSE if you are allergic to bimatoprost or any ingredient in the formulation.

Possible adverse effects include eye itching, redness, irritation, dry eye, eyelid skin darkening, and unwanted hair growth where the medication repeatedly contacts the skin. Increased brown pigmentation of the iris may be permanent. Changes in the appearance of the eyelids and surrounding tissues, including deepening of the eyelid sulcus, have also been reported.

Patients using medications to lower intraocular pressure, or those with certain eye conditions, should consult their physician before treatment. Tell your prescribing clinician about any existing eye conditions, eye surgery, or other ophthalmic medications.

Use only as directed by your prescribing healthcare professional. Review the complete prescribing information and patient instructions before use.

What is LATISSE used for?

LATISSE (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes, a condition characterized by inadequate or insufficient eyelash growth. It increases eyelash length, thickness, and darkness.

How long does LATISSE take to work?

Eyelash improvements develop gradually. Some patients notice changes within 4–8 weeks, while full results are generally evaluated after 16 weeks of consistent nightly treatment. Individual results vary.

Does LATISSE actually grow eyelashes?

Yes. LATISSE has demonstrated increased eyelash length, thickness, and darkness in clinical studies. Its active ingredient, bimatoprost, is believed to extend the active growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle.

Can LATISSE be used for eyebrows?

LATISSE is FDA-approved for eyelash growth, not eyebrow growth. Bimatoprost has also been studied and used off-label for eyebrow hypotrichosis. Patients interested in eyebrow treatment should consult their prescribing physician before using LATISSE outside its approved indication.

What happens if I stop using LATISSE?

The benefits are not permanent. After discontinuation, eyelashes gradually return toward their original appearance over several weeks to months.

Is LATISSE the same as an over-the-counter eyelash serum?

No. LATISSE contains prescription-strength bimatoprost 0.03%, an FDA-approved medication for eyelash hypotrichosis. Cosmetic eyelash serums may condition existing lashes but are not equivalent to LATISSE.

Can LATISSE change eye color?

Bimatoprost can increase brown pigmentation of the iris, which is likely permanent. It can also cause eyelid skin darkening, which may be reversible after discontinuation. These risks should be reviewed with the prescribing physician.

Can I wear contact lenses while using LATISSE?

Yes, but remove contact lenses before applying LATISSE and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

Does LATISSE require a prescription?

Yes. LATISSE is a prescription medication that requires evaluation and authorization by a licensed healthcare professional.
