Like every routine, applying LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03%
is all about consistency and precision. Once you follow the basic guidelines, the
results will come gradually over time. To see the full effect of your eyelash transformation,
take a "before" picture before you start the treatment, and keep taking pictures
every 4 weeks to chart your progress.
To see the entire application process from start to finish, watch this How-to-Apply video.
Here's a quick review of the steps shown in the video above.
Before applying LATISSE® each night, ensure your face is clean, makeup and
contact lenses are removed, and any other facial care products have already been
applied.
Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile applicator horizontally,
place one drop of LATISSE® solution on the area of the applicator closest
to the tip but not on the tip.
Immediately draw the applicator carefully along the skin at the base of the upper
eyelashes (where the eyelashes meet the skin) going from the inner part of your lash line to the outer part. Do not apply in your eye or to the lower lid because excess hair growth outside the treatment area may occur.
Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid with a tissue.
Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for opposite eyelid, using a new
sterile applicator to help minimize any potential for contamination from one eyelid
to another.
DO NOT APPLY in your eye or to the lower lid because excess hair growth outside the treatment area may occur. ONLY use the sterile applicators supplied with LATISSE® to apply the product.
Don't allow the tip of the bottle or applicator to contact surrounding structures, fingers, or any other unintended surface in order to avoid contamination by common bacteria known to cause infections.
Contact lenses should be removed prior to application of LATISSE® and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.
If discontinued, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.
