During Quarantine, many of us with lash extensions found ourselves missing something we’ve got quite used to: long, dramatic lashes. As our extensions slowly fell out, one by one, we came to grips with what those extensions left behind: weak, brittle, stubby lashes. And for many of us, we realized we have done a great disservice to our lashes in having those extensions. If you have decided to give up lash extensions for a long time, a short time or any time at all, consider using Latisse. Even if you return back to lashes extensions, if you so choose, you can continue to use Latisse to help reverse the effects of lash extensions by helping your natural lashes grow thick and strong. Curious how Latisse works? Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at smith & co explains.

How does Latisse work?

You apply a thin coat on the base of the lash line once a day.

How long does it take to see results?

You will start to see the results of Latisse in around 16 weeks. Although, some people have seen results as quickly as four weeks.

What kind of results can be expected from Latisse?

Clinical studies have demonstrated 106% fuller lashes after 16 weeks. Seventy-eight percent of users saw a significant increase in overall eyelash prominence. Lashes grew both 25 percent longer and 18 percent darker.

What makes Latisse work?

Latisse’s active ingredient is bimatoprost, which makes lash growth possible. Latisse is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: it increases the length of this phase, but it also increases the number of hairs in this growth phase. It is the only product on the market that has this active ingredient.

What happens if you stop using Latisse?

Lashes go back to their original state.

The secret to Latisse is continual use, which will lead to continual growth. And long, thick lashes is what ever girl wants. If you want to give Latisse a try, talk with Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at smith & co. It’s available at her office.
