Latisse Eyelash Treatment in Chicago / Des Plaines, Illinois
In addition to being recognized as leading Chicago laser eye surgery providers, the Midwest Center for Sight eye surgeons are also gifted cosmetic specialists who provide their patients with a range of facial rejuvenation treatments to improve and accentuate the natural beauty of their eyes. They offer an array of minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, including Latisse.
Latisse is a topical solution proven to promote the growth of fuller, longer, darker and thicker eyelashes. Our Chicago Latisse patients are typically unhappy with the appearance of eyelashes that are too thin and/or short. Also, patients who suffer from hypotrichosis, a condition associated with inadequate eyelashes, are able to successfully grow eyelashes with Latisse.
How Does Latisse Work?
The main ingredient of Latisse is bimatoprost, which was originally used to treat glaucoma patients. Latisse is the first ever FDA-approved eyelash treatment that keeps the eyelashes in their growing phase and increases the number of hairs for as long as it's being used.
Latisse in Chicago / Des Plaines
Latisse is a topical take-home solution that is applied daily along the upper eyelids only. It generally lasts up to 30 days, if used as recommended. Sterile, one-time-use applicators are provided with the product for patients' convenience. Most patients apply Latisse before bedtime and are able to wear eye makeup, contact lenses or glasses shortly after applying the solution. Mild skin irritation as well as eyelid darkening may occur.
Latisse results can be seen within the first four to six weeks, and eyelashes continue to grow for the next eight weeks. In clinical studies, 78 percent of patients experienced a significant increase in overall lash prominence.
