"Well, the last time I had a picture taken I could hardly see my eyes because of the weight of heavy eyelid. Then I paid attention to how I was actually using my eyes and I really noticed when I was looking at anything especially the computer I was straining my forehead to see better. Since I have had it done I no longer have to lift the forehead and tilt my head to see. It is amazing! I love..." D. Rock 63 Yrs Old with Fat Droopy Eyes - Salt Lake City, UT
How do I apply Latisse?
Ensure your face is clean and contact lenses are removed.
Apply Latisse nightly, with the applicator, but only at the base of the lashes of the UPPER eyelid. Do not apply to the lower eyelid.
If applied correctly, the upper eyelid margin area of lash growth will feel mildly moist, without runoff.
Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid margin.
Dispose the applicator after one use.
Repeat for the opposite eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator.
Additional applications of Latisse will not increase the growth of eyelashes.
