As we grow older, our lashes become
thinner, lighter and more brittle. LATISSE®
is the first and only FDA-approved
prescription treatment for hypotrichosis
(inadequate eyelashes) that is clinically
proven to promote the growth of longer,
fuller, darker lashes. Its active ingredient,
bimatoprost, is believed to lengthen the
growth phase of the lashes and keep them
from falling out as quickly as they normally
might. LATISSE® can also be used to
enhance thinning eyebrows.
What is LATISSE®?
Before After

Joel Schlessinger, MD has prescribed LATISSE® to many
of his patients. So far, they have all experienced great
results after just one to two months of use. Results
may improve even more over a longer period of time.
In fact, some patients have discontinued LATISSE® and
opted for a non-prescription maintenance product
because their lash length exceeded expectations!
Dr. Schlessinger’s patients have also sometimes seen
improvement in skin conditions like vitiligo and
alopecia areata through use of LATISSE®. He and his
staff are currently researching the benefits of
implementing LATISSE® in treatment of these
conditions as well as in cases of hair loss patterns on
the scalp.
Does LATISSE® work for everyone?
Before After

LATISSE® has been proven safe and
effective through clinical trials. Side
effects are rare, but may include redness
or itching. Less common side effects
include skin darkening, redness of the
eyelids and eye irritation. Patients with
blue eyes should be especially cautious
when using LATISSE®, as incorrect
application could cause blue eyes to
become brown or discolored over time.
Is LATISSE® safe?
Before After

LATISSE® is convenient to use and easy to add as a
final step in any skin care regimen.
LATISSE® should be applied once in the evening to just
the upper lashes. Do not use LATISSE® on the lower
lash line.
Remove makeup, cleanse your face as you normally
would and apply all other skin care products. Place a
drop of LATISSE® on one of the clean applicators
provided and draw it carefully along the skin at the
base of the upper lashes. Blot excess beyond the
eyelid with a tissue. LATISSE® may also be used in the
same way to enhance thinning brows.
How do I use LATISSE®?
Before After

Dr. Schlessinger recommends
RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash
Conditioner to his patients for
maintaining LATISSE® results

conditioner contains pharmaceutical-
grade ingredients to promote long,
strong, thick lashes. Peptides, biotin
and powerful botanical extracts
