What is the history of Latisse?
LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is the
latest innovation for eyelashes. But it certainly isn't the
first.
In 4000 BC men and women of ancient Egypt used "Eye
Paint" known as kohl, a powdery mix of soot and metal,
to define eyes, eye lashes and brows.
In the 1800s the Victorian age, some women created their own
homemade mascaras, utilizing ashes, elderberry and Castrol
Oil for lush alluring eyelashes.
In the 1920's the first eyelash curler (known as Kurlash),
eyeliner pencils and false eyelashes debuted. Marline
Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Bette Davis donned thicker, fuller
lashes on screen. Millions of fans followed suit.
In 1989, Max Factor, a brand with roots in the film and
television makeup industry, launched "No Color Mascara".
This earned the 'Outstanding Product of the Year" award from
the beauty industry's Rex Awards.
In 2009 latisse debuts and is making history

Does Latisse really work?
Yes, with realistic expectations. LATISSE™ is believed to
affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle
in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase;
and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth
phase. The exact way it works is unknown.
Great eyelashes
don't just happen overnight. That's why it's important to
note that LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03%
works gradually and remarkably — starting at 4 weeks with
full results after 16 weeks. Once you begin treatment, you
could start to see results in as little as 4 weeks, but you
must continue applying the topical treatment each night and
follow the directions for best results. Remember results are
gradual over time.
