Latisse
Let’s delve into the fascinating world of Latisse, a remarkable solution offered at 1st Choice Wellness Centre. As Dr. Maryam Emami, MD, a board-certified Family Physician specializing in wellness and anti-aging services, I’m thrilled to share insights about this innovative treatment.
What Is Latisse?
Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription medication designed to enhance the length, thickness, and darkness of your eyelashes. If you’ve ever dreamed of having fuller, more captivating lashes, Latisse can turn that dream into reality.
What to Expect During Treatment?
Consultation: Dr. Maryam Emami will assess your suitability for Latisse during a personalised consultation. She will discuss your goals, medical history, and any potential contraindications.
Application: Latisse is applied to the base of your upper eyelashes using a sterile applicator. It’s a simple process that you can easily incorporate into your nightly routine.
Patience and Consistency: Results are not immediate. You’ll need to use Latisse consistently for several weeks to notice the transformation. Be patient—the payoff is worth it!
How Does Latisse Work?
The active ingredient in Latisse is bimatoprost, originally used to treat glaucoma. However, during clinical trials, an exciting side effect was discovered: longer, lusher lashes! Here’s how it works:
-
Stimulating Hair Growth: Latisse extends the growth phase of your eyelash hair cycle, allowing lashes to grow longer and thicker.
-
Increasing Pigmentation: Bimatoprost also enhances the pigmentation of your lashes, making them darker and more defined.
-
Longer Lashes: With regular use, Latisse gradually lengthens your lashes, creating a fluttery, feminine look.
-
Thicker Lashes: Latisse thickens individual lash strands, adding volume and depth.
-
Darkened Lashes: Say goodbye to mascara! Latisse intensifies the color of your lashes, reducing the need for makeup.
Benefits of Latisse
Safety and Side Effects
Latisse is generally safe when used as directed. However, some users may experience mild side effects, such as temporary redness or itching near the application site. Rarely, changes in eye color (usually darkening) may occur.
Consistency: Apply Latisse nightly to clean, makeup-free lashes.
​
Avoid Waste: Use the provided applicators—one drop per eye is sufficient.
​
