LATISSE® Treatment for Eyelashes
When it comes to enhancing your lashes, mascara and curling tools can only do so much. As we age, many of us notice our eyelashes becoming thinner, shorter, or losing their natural pigment at the tips. Latisse is an FDA-approved topical prescription that regrows your natural lashes, letting you enjoy a fuller, longer look that highlights the beauty of your eyes.
At Alchemy Medical Aesthetics, Latisse is one tool in our comprehensive lash and brow services, allowing you to customize your treatment for a beautifully subtle or higher-impact result. Our highly experienced clinical and aesthetic team ensures your treatment is safe, effective, and completely curated for you. Book your Salt Lake City Latisse consultation at Alchemy today!

Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription medicine formulated with bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%. Originally used in eye care treatments for elevated intraocular pressure, healthcare providers noted a wonderful side effect - patients experienced significant, natural hair growth along the eyelids. Unlike temporary over-the-counter serums that merely coat the hair shaft with conditioning agents, this prescription compound works directly at the biological root of the hair follicle.
Latisse is applied to the base of the lashes each evening, making it an easy addition to your daily beauty routine. You can expect subtle improvements in your lashes’ thickness and length within 4-8 weeks, with optimal results in weeks 12-16. Patients love that Latisse enhances their natural lashes, letting them wake up every day with more defined, alluring eyes.
During your consultation, your aesthetic clinician will carefully review your eye health history and any prescriptions you take to ensure Latisse is safe for you. They will show you how to precisely apply the product, ensuring you know how to administer it at home.
The nightly home application process takes only a few moments before bed. After thoroughly cleansing your face to remove all makeup and removing any contact lenses, you place a single drop of the solution onto the provided sterile applicator. You then draw the brush gently across the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the very base of the eyelashes, moving from the inner part of your lash line to the outer corner. You immediately blot away any excess fluid with a clean tissue to prevent unwanted hair growth on adjacent skin, discard the applicator, and repeat the process on the opposite eye.
This prescription treatment is specifically formulated and approved for application along the upper eyelid margin only. You must never apply the product directly into the eye itself or onto the lower lash line. Normal blinking patterns will naturally transfer the perfect micro-amount of medicine to your lower lashes.
Our patients often ask if this versatile solution can help fill in sparse gaps along their eyebrows. While the product is officially FDA-approved only for the upper eyelids, many clinical studies track its off-label success in enhancing thinning brow hairs. If you want to achieve a better balance across your upper profile, our team can discuss how to adapt your application routine during your visit.
Latisee lets you enjoy naturally long, dark, full eyelashes without relying on extensions or struggling to coat already-sparse lashes with cosmetics. You can avoid heavy glues and difficult upkeep that can harm your natural lashes. Instead, your eyelashes retain their fullness, density, and richer color through workouts, swimming, and busy workdays. Your results unfold gradually for a natural-looking transformation. Latisse provides an empowering, low-risk way to elevate your everyday confidence and achieve a bright, wide-eyed appearance that looks completely authentic to you.
Patients appreciate that Latisse provides a pathway to enhancing their own natural beauty with minimal upkeep. During your initial visit, our clinical specialists will review your eye health history to ensure the prescription formula is safe for you to use.
If you have a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to bimatoprost or any ingredients in the solution, you should not use Latisse. Use of this prescription requires careful monitoring if you have a history of elevated intraocular pressure, active uveitis, or diagnosed glaucoma. If you are currently pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or providing breast milk for an infant, we will advise you to delay your prescription out of an abundance of caution. We will also carefully discuss risks, including the rare but potential outcome of increased brown iris pigmentation, which can be permanent.
To ensure the best possible results, remember to discard each sterile applicator immediately after treating a single eyelid. Never attempt to reuse an applicator or allow the bottle tip to touch your fingers, face, or any nonsterile surface, as this can introduce bacteria and put your skin at risk of infection. If you wear contact lenses, simply remove them before applying the solution and wait at least fifteen minutes before reinserting them to prevent the lens material from absorbing the medicine.
Your natural lash transformation will unfold over several weeks as your hair follicles pass through their normal growth phases. You will begin to notice a lovely initial increase in lash length and flexibility within the first four to 8 weeks of consistent nightly use. Optimal length, thickness, and darkness are achieved by week 16. These beautifully natural-looking results will last for as long as you continue your nightly applications, making Latisse a simple way to boost your daily confidence.

If you miss an evening application, simply skip the missed dose completely and apply the solution the following night at your normal scheduled time. Never try to double your dose or apply extra fluid the next morning to make up for the missed day, as this will not accelerate your hair growth. Consistency is the true key to unlocking your best results, so keeping the bottle directly next to your evening cleanser can help you maintain a steady routine.
An increased brown iris pigmentation is a rare but potential side effect that was primarily observed during clinical trials when the active drug was dropped directly into the eye for glaucoma care. When the solution is applied properly along the upper eyelid skin margin using the sterile brushes, this occurrence is exceptionally rare.
Yes, you can safely apply this prescription solution while wearing salon extensions, as it is oil-free and will not dissolve your professional lash glue. In fact, many people use the formula to strengthen their natural lash hairs while transitioning away from extensions.
The most common side effects are typically mild and localized to the treatment site, including temporary eye redness, light itching, or dry eyes. Some patients notice a subtle darkening of the eyelid skin, where the brush touches the margin, which is generally reversible if you pause the medicine. If you ever experience sudden vision changes, severe eye pain, or active lid swelling, you should stop use immediately and contact our office.
No. Instead, your hair follicles will simply return to their original growth cycle over several weeks or months. As your treated lashes complete their normal shedding phase, the new hairs that grow in their place will return to their original, baseline length, thickness, and color.
