Q: Will my lashes stay longer forever?
Ans: After you stop using the drug they will slowly go back to normal with your next eyelash growth cycle (this varies from person to person but is between a few weeks to a couple months).
Q: How long before I start to see results?
Ans: Eight weeks, with peak results around four months.
Q: Can I use Latisse if I've had Lasik or wear contacts?
Ans: These are questions for your doctor. You should not use Latisse if you have an active eye condition, including an eye infection, or have broken or irritated skin on your eyelid. And if you are using products for elevated intraocular pressure, be sure to discuss this with your doctor. Contact lenses should be removed prior to use of Latisee and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its application.
