Latisse (Bimatoprost)

Do's

• Use Latisse Drops as directed by your healthcare provider, typically once daily in the evening. 
• Wash your hands and face before applying the medication. 
• Remove makeup and contact lenses before applying Latisse Drops (reinsert them after 15 minutes). 
• Place one drop on the provided applicator and gently draw it along the upper eyelid margin from the inner to the outer lash line. 
• Blot any excess solution. 
• Use a new applicator for the other eye. 
• Wait for up to 2 months to see full results. 
• If experiencing uneven results between eyes (length, thickness, etc.), talk to your healthcare provider. 

Don'ts

• Don't use Latisse Drops on the lower eyelids. 
• Do not rinse if the medication gets in your eyes as it's the same medication used for glaucoma in the eyes. 
• Don't touch the dropper tip to your eyelashes or any other surface. 
• Don't rinse the dropper or use more than the recommended dose. 
• Don't stop treatment abruptly as it will cause eyelashes to return to their pre-treatment appearance.
