Nurse Mari: A LATISSE believer!
The following are sentiments of our very own Nurse Mari, a vital and longstanding member of our office team. A naturalist at heart and not one to jump on new cosmetic treatments, Mari has become one of our biggest fans of LATISSE, the eyelash-lengthening treatment:
“Love, love, love my Latisse! Fortunately, I was blessed with full eyelashes for most of my life, but as I was approaching my 60th birthday, I realized they were thinning and seemed shorter and somewhat fragile. I contemplated trying Latisse for some time, but worried about possible eye irritation and/or change in the color of my eyes.
I started using Latisse last September. It is so easy to apply nightly to my upper lids! Actually, it feels somewhat refreshing. I experienced no eye irritation and noticed definite growth and thickening within six weeks. There was no change in my eye color. I continue to apply Latisse to my upper eyelids every 2-3 nights for maintenance.
I have received many positive comments and most people think that I have eyelash extensions. My husband would be most grateful if he could use Latisse to thicken and re-grow his head of hair! I imagine that is not too far off, in the future. But, for now, it definitely works for eyelashes.”
LATISSE® is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough lashes) to grow eyelashes longer, fuller and darker. This treatment is available at Horton SPA and is used by ALL members of our fabulous office team!
How LATISSE works to grow eyelashes
How does LATISSE work? Great eyelashes don’t just happen overnight. That’s why it’s important to note that LATISSE® solution works gradually and remarkably — with full results at week 16. Once you begin, you must continue applying the topical solution each night and follow the directions for best results. If you stop using LATISSE® at any time, your eyelashes will return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.
As the treatment progresses, you’ll first begin to see changes in your eyelash length. Then, gradually, you’ll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes. If you’re satisfied with your results by week 8, don’t stop there. Stick with the treatment. After week 16, you’ll see the full effect of LATISSE® solution — and so will others. After that, you can talk to your doctor about ongoing use.
Important Safety Information: If you use/used prescription products for eye pressure problems, use LATISSE® under doctor care. LATISSE® may cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. Eyelid skin darkening may occur and may be reversible. Only apply at the base of upper lashes. DO NOT APPLY to lower lid. Hair may grow on skin that LATISSE® frequently touches. If you have eye problems/surgery, consult your doctor about use of LATISSE®. Common side effects are itchy and red eyes. If discontinued, lashes gradually return to previous appearance.
