Latisse®- Why the hell would you want meds to grow your eyelashes?

2009 September 22

Latisse

LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker. Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes. (source: Latisse.com)

I don’t pay attention to a lot of commercials including the one for Latisse® (latisse.com). For some reason, however, it caught my attention the other day, and I was like WTF??  A prescription to help you grow longer eyelashes?  Why?  Also, it wasn’t until I copied the quote posted above that I even realized it’s actually for a medical condition.  Somehow, I’m thinking that diagnosis is HIGHLY subjective.

Ever since then, I am stare perplexed whenever the commercial airs.  You know Brooke Shields is one of my girl crushes, and her eyes are fabulous, but why would she even endorse this prescription oddity?

If you haven’t paid attention, watch it and tell me what you think.

Here’s also a report talking about the dangers of taking prescription Latisse, including unwanted hair growth.

    luv the fact that it causes hair to grow not only on the lashes but potentially out the nose, eyeball, or anywhere!ahahahaha where’s CASAUNDRA AT?

    adub- LOL, Cossaundra doesn’t read this blog nor do I think she knows about it. It’s ridiculous some of the medications they promote on the market. I’ve seen an episode of The Doctors where the plastic surgeon guy (Dr. Drew Ordon) talked about a surgical procedure where they can take hair from your head and implant on your eyelashes if it were truly an issue. Downside of that was that you had to trim your eyelashes for life because they would grow the way your hair does.

    So, here’s the deal!!! I suffer from short, stubby lashes and researched products to try. Latisse was out of the question, due to all the nasty side effects and the fact that it is a glaucoma drug. I finally decided on Revitalash eyelash conditioner. I paid $90.00 on line and it was worth every penny!!! It took about 8-9 weeks to see a noticable difference, but the wait was well worth it. I never had any irritation or hair growing where I didn’t want it to. I’m now using it on my brows and am thrilled to see hairs sprouting where they haven’t in years…

    I saw Brooke Shields on Entertainment Tonight talking about it. I went in to try Latisse but i can’t afford $120/month. My salon suggested using Revitalash instead. I’ve read reviews and they are as promising as they say. Also, i heard about the side effects of Latisse. So far so good with Revitalash. Haven’t experienced any itching or redness. And the best part about it is it does work!

    Wow – I have been using latisse for 7 weeks with absolutely awesome results. To boot I got it at $89 per bottle!!!!!!! 5 minute online form and right to my door from a real doctors office…I would rec. ordering from these guys to anyone…you can’t beat the price or service…www.yourlatisse.com, http://www.latisse.bz

    I’ve been using Lattise before however when I’ve found Revitalash which is less expensive, after I emptied the tube for Lattise I started switching to revitalash. The product is working well for me. I prefer going for revitalash because it’s cheaper and as I’ve said, working well for me. I’m buying my 2nd tube this weekend.

    even if you pay me to used other brand for my lashes It would be a waste of time because I will not change Revitalsh to any brand at all.

    The reason why I am using Revitalash now because it fits my budget and I never expected how it naturally enhanced my lashes. Looking fuller and darker now which makes a big difference to my face. Latisse is way beyond my price range, too expensive.

    I am very picky about what I use on my face and only Revitalash that doesn’t cause irritation and gives amazing results on achieving the natural beauty of long thick and fuller lashes

    Well, I haven’t tried Latisse though. A friend introduced Revitalash for my lashes . I love the result on my lashes which are now fuller and longer and you can buy Revitalash at a lower price than any other brands.

    I am on my 5th week on using revitalash and I can see a huge difference on my lash before and now. Its now longer and thicker, this product is truly for me.

    Read about those review about Revitalash. Since is not expensive, so decided to give a try. I must say after 3 weeks I actually can see my eyelashes look longer and healthier. Will keep you guys posted 3 weeks from now on the result.

    Thanks to all of you who have commented with your own experiences with Latisse and Revitalash. When I originally wrote it, I was just curious about the notion of taking these prescriptions, but your responses have given me some new perspective that I didn’t have originally. Keep commenting and sharing. Your comments have been a great education for me. Thank you! :)

    Well, I haven’t tried Revitalash cause I’m only using Maximumlash for may lashes. My dull and thin lashes became luscious within 6 weeks time. Isn’t that amazing? It help my lashes to its maximum potential. I’m really happy with the results

    After reading great reviews and comments I am now using RevitaLash. I’m only a week in using this product, and I am hoping for good results. So far no redness or irritation feeling.

    I agree Ruby! MaximumLash really amazes me. Having gorgeous lashes really makes a difference. I’m currently on my 8th week of using MaximumLash and I can’t wait to get the full result.

    I’m really proud to say that I’m a Maximumlash user. I noticed that a lot of ladies are using Maximumlash. Well for me, its a great choice. No product can give stunning lashes like Maximumlash. This one’s for all ladies and men too for their loved ones.

    I think it runs in the family. I have quite long eyelashes but always think they are not thick and dark enough. Tried a many brands before and only Revitalash really impressed me. Now my eyelashes are long, thick and dark. TQ

    That’s why I prefer revitalash over latisse. Latisse is too expensive and way beyond my budget. I’ve been using revitalash ever since and it’s been working wonders for my lashes. -maya

    I was so happy with the results I’ve received with the revitalash.
    The results were noticeably longer and fuller. I definitely recommend this product to everyone.

    I have not seen any reported allergy case with revitalash. I have very sensitive skin and short eyelashes :( Decided to give revitalash a try. It has been 3 weeks, still no side effect and I think my eyelashes are actually longer! Will keep you guys posted

    If you don’t get the results you are looking for with your product I would seriously look into trying Revitalash. this product is proven effective and safe that’s why a lot of women shift to revitalash.

    Well, I got amazing results with Maximumlash. I dont want to try other brands anymore. It works wonders for me and I’m sure it will work on you too…

    Yeah I heard about maximumlash from a friend and said that she’s comfortable using it however I am using revitalash eyelash conditioner for almost a year now. It really amazed me by the time I noticed the natural enhancement of my lashes, it was for about 6-7 weeks after I observed the effect. To assure you my lashes are now looking darker and fuller and really made a big difference to my face especially when I curl them up. I am satisfied consumer here, extremely recommend this to you girls. thanks. – Martha

    I have used both revitalash and maximumlash. I still feel revitalash is a better product and I think it is a more established ones too. Well, Maryjane, perhaps you might want to try revitalash and see the amazing effect.

    - I feel safe when I used revitalash since 6months ago because i haven’t experienced any side effect. Another thing that I like is being economical and cheaper price my first tube hasn’t ran out yet. My lash is still on its beauty long and thick.

    Same here Amber. I just love Revitalash and I’m not the only one/ All my friends are using Revitalash now.

    Well for me, Maximumlash is the best product out there. I’m using this for a 6 months now and loving it.

    I think it is important to look at the track record and history of a product. Revitalash was invented by a doctor and it has been around for a long time. It is still doing very well and personally I have not heard about any side effect. All the reports received so far, both scientific and non-scientific; claiming that Revitalash is highly effective.

  32. wanbli permalink

    I never thought revitalash work so well. I have been using it 2 months and I only use it at night and my lashes are long and thick. Worth the money!

    when using revitalash you should have a little more patience. This is not instant or magic product that one clicks you got result already. It takes time for everything right especially if we want to achieve good result. Revitalash guaranteed change and that change can make you happier.

  34. coc permalink

    Ya it took me about 2 months before I could see some changes. slightly longer and thicker but after 10 weeks, my eyelashes suddenly just grow.

    I’m using revitalash and I’m very much happy for my fantastic lashes now. I’m using it for 3months and haven’t experienced any irritation or rashes. My lashes appear longer, thicker and more dramatic than ever.

    Thanks to Revitalash, my eyelashes are so much fuller now. I’m now on maintenance usage, I only use every other day and my eyelashes still remain full and long.

    You got the point Ashley!! I just can’t completey express how much Revitalash bestowed satisfaction to me. I really noticed the gorgeous changes on my lashes. Such an amazing product and the price is so possible to buy.

    When it comes to eyelashes treatment, there’s no two way about it. I believe in Revitalash. Simple to use product. It is so effective that it turned my short and frail eyelashes into a full and sexy ones. Highly recommended.

    My lashes are longer and thicker now when I started to use Revitalash. It was amazing. I never expected it to work, but now I won’t use anything else.

    I have really good experience Revitalash. When I started the 1st few weeks, I was very disappointed because nothing happen. After continue for another few more weeks, my eyelashes just became visibly longer and much fuller. I’m a very happy revitalash user.
