Latisse for Eyelash Growth By Steven Selchow
IntroductionA board-certified oral and maxillofacial
surgeon, Steven Selchow, DDS, is the owner of Dakota Valley Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Rejuv Skin & Laser Clinic. Dr. Steven Selchow offers a wide array of noninvasive treatments to enhance natural beauty, including Latisse.
About LatisseA topical medication prescribed to patients with thin,
short, or inadequate eyelashes, Latisse contains ingredients similar to prostaglandins that the body naturally produces. These active ingredients stimulate the growth of longer and fuller lashes. Used once daily on the upper eyelashes only, Latisse is applied with an applicator that is swept across the lash line much like a liquid eyeliner. Full results may not appear for about two months, and patients must continue using the product to maintain the appearance of darker, more noticeable eyelashes. If the use of Latisse is discontinued, the lashes will return to their pretreatment appearance.
ConclusionSerious complications are rare, but users of
Latisse may experience minor side effects such as eye redness, itching, or skin irritation. Changes in skin pigmentation on the eyelids may also occur. Patients are advised to discuss any side effects with the prescribing physician.
