Latisse® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes. Latisse® works by growing your eyelashes longer, fuller and darker. Latisse® is applied once a day usually at night after washing your face. Latisse® is applied topically to the base of your upper eyelashes only. Then, gradually over the next several weeks, the results come in. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks.

Can Latisse solution darken my eyelids?

Localized skin darkening, also called hyperpigmentation, can occur with Latisse, although it’s a less common side effect. Eyelid skin darkening occurred in approximately 2.9% of patients using Latisse. When it does occur, it is typically close to where the solution is applied on the skin — making the eyelid skin look a little darker. This is due to an increase of melanin in the skin, but is expected to reverse, usually several weeks to months after discontinuing use of the product.
