A FEW SIMPLE STEPS
TO CAN LEAD TO GREAT LASHES
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.
Directions
for nightly use:
Step1
|
Before Applying
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.
|
 |
Step2
|
Prepare the Applicator
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.
|
 |
Step3
|
Apply to Skin using Applicator
Immediately draw the applicator carefully
along the skin at the base of the upper eyelashes (where the eyelashes
meet the skin) just as you would apply liquid eyeliner. This area should
feel lightly moist without runoff.
|
 |
Step4
|
Blot Excess
Blot any excess solution beyond the
eyelid with a tissue.
|
 |
Step5
|
Dispose of Applicator
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.

Your Guide
to getting the Most Benefits from Latisse: Tips for Success
Think Routine
Try to
incorporate Latisse into your nightly routine - for example, after you've
washed your face and brushed your teeth
|
Keep it Handy
Store the
Latisse bottle near your other skin care products or toothbrush, so you
won't forget to apply it each night
|
Have Patience
Latisse
(bimatoprost ophthalmic solution ) 0.03% takes time to work. Only
use it once a night, and don't overuse it. Overuse can increase the
chance of experiencing eye redness or itchiness.
|
Start Fresh
If your
eye makeup remover leaves an oily residue on your eyelids, wipe off any
excess oils with soap and water to ensure a clean surface before you apply
Latisse.
|
Follow the Rules
Always
use the sterile, disposable FDA-approved applicator provided in the
kit. Don't try to apply Latisse with a cotton swab. The Latisse
applicator is specially designed to hold a drop and release a drop, as
well as ensure the safety and maximize effectiveness.
|
Don't Play Catch Up
If you
miss a dose one night, don't apply more just ot catch up. Simply
apply Latisse the next evening and stay on schedule.
|
Beware of Germs
Don't let
the tip of the bottle or applicator contact your fingers or any other unintended
surface, in order to avoid contamination.

start using Latisse solution, mark your calendar and take pictures to chart
your progress: Week 0, week 4, 8, 12, and 16 to have your own photo
