Dr.Hines before and after Latisse treatment (she does not have eyelash hypotrichosis)
For some of us we would like long eyelashes to make our eyes pop or to have a nice bold look. For others the struggle of longer eyelashes is due to something called eyelash hypotrichosis. Hypotrichosis refers to a condition characterized by a lack of hair growth, and eyelash hypotrichosis is synonym for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes. This can be a condition diagnosed at birth or can be caused by several factors such as aging, improper use of eyelash curler, poor makeup removing, hormone conditions and allergies to the glue used to apply extensions. This condition is different than alopecia (a condition where you lose hair where there was once hair growth) and natural balding. Hypotrichosis describes a condition where there was never much hair growth in an area to begin with.
Latisse: Longer, Thicker, Darker!
Latisse is the recommended treatment for eyelash hypotrichosis as it is the sole FDA approved treatment that will enhance your eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker. Latisse is applied once daily to the base of the upper eyelashes with a one time applicator. However with Latisse you will not see immediate overnight results, you will have to wait to see the full effect of this treatment. It usually takes around 2 months to start seeing your lashes grow but once they do you will be happy to see that good things do come to those who wait.
