What to Expect With Latisse
Initial Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. McIntosh will review your medical history, assess your current eyelash growth, and determine if Latisse is suitable for you. This is also an opportunity to discuss expectations, treatment goals, and any precautions.
Choosing the Right Approach
Dr. McIntosh will explain the proper application method, frequency, and expected timeline for results. He may provide guidance on incorporating Latisse safely into your daily routine and recommend complementary eyelash care tips.
Pre-Treatment Preparations
Before starting Latisse, ensure your eyes and lash line are clean and free of makeup. Remove contact lenses if necessary and avoid using other lash-enhancing products to prevent irritation.
Treatment Steps
Latisse is applied once nightly using a sterile applicator along the upper lash line. The solution should be carefully applied to avoid contact with the eyes. Over time, lashes gradually lengthen, thicken, and darken as the active ingredient stimulates follicle activity.
Post-Treatment Care
With regular nightly use, results become noticeable in approximately 4 to 8 weeks, with full effects typically visible by 16 weeks. It is important to continue daily application as prescribed and to avoid skipping treatments for consistent results. Any mild irritation or redness usually resolves quickly and should be monitored if it persists.
