There is two different brands that say they have the same effect as Latisse but they cost much less than Latisse. They are Lumigan, and Bimatoprost. My question is do they actually have the same effect like Latisse? what is the diffrence??
Excerpt from DoubleCheckMD - Latisse (bimatoprost topical ophthalmic)...
"Latisse may cause color change in the sclera (tough, outer covering of the eye).
Concurrent administration of bimatoprost topical ophthalmic solution (LATISSE) and IOP-lowering prostaglandin analogs in ocular hypertensive patients may decrease the IOP-lowering effect. Patients using these products concomitantly should be closely monitored for changes to their intraocular pressure.
It is not a sign of ocular rosacea, Latisse in its drop from is used to treat glaucoma. Itching and redness are its side effects.

I have optimalized my condition but so far I still have little eyebrows left.
ve been using Latisse now for about 3 months and have really nice, long, lush lashes, aside from the patch that fell out. I have no idea how it happened, except maybe I was rubbing too hard to remove my makeup.
I've continued using Latisse every night since and have seen no growth whatsoever in the lash "blad spot". I don't even see the follicles where the hair should be coming from. I've had to wear eyeliner constantly because it's extremely noticeable.
Hi Emsed. I posted a similar thread in the Derm Community under "Eyelashes-fell-out-and-not-growing-back-w-Latisse". I had a clump of mine just fall out for no apparant reason (the curling iron might've been the culprit, but I'd been curling my lashes for almost 12 years so it's doubtful). I'd also been using Latisse for years (under Revitalash when it wasn'y yet FDA approved and the product was available), so my lashes were always super long and lush.
several months ago, I started using latisse. I liked the way my eyelashes looked, but around the 4th month, i noticed my eyes started feeling funny, so i stopped using the lattisse altogether. it's been a couple months since I stopped using latisse, but i noticed about 3 weeks ago that I have persistent problems focusing, and I feel slight headache and nausea. last saturday, I went to an optometrist and was told my prescription was too strong (-4.75 r, -4.5 left originally).
I took lots of Meclizine in the past for motion sickness and insomia and I also used Latisse for the eyelash growth. Last use on Meclizine is about 4 weeks ago. Last use on Latisse is a few months ago. Can these two cause this kind of dryness on my eyes?
3 dizziness attacks I had one time started with a glaze on the sun when I stepped out of a room. The last two happened when I diced onion and the onion made me cry.
Is the dry eye causing my dizziness and what can I do? Thank you.
what is latisse used for? has any one heard of it? i know its for eyes but what does it do?
Lumigan (marketed for eyelashes as Latisse) has only been studied for eyelash growth and about 70% of people do develop longer thicker eyelashes. To my knowledge it has not been studied for scalp or eyebrow growth.
One of the drops in this family of glaucoma medicines (Lumigan) is sold in a different form (Latisse) by plastic surgeons and dermatologists for eye lash growth.
There is also a medication, Latisse that you can apply like eyeliner which helps eyelashes grow. You need to seek the care of an eyeMD and get examined to determine if this would be all right for you to use.

A medication which can be prescribed, called Latisse may help to increase the number and length of the eyelashes. You should seek care of an eyeMD to determine whether there is a reason such as an eyelid infection contributing to your pulling of lashes.

I was put on Metoprolol in April 2012 b/c of MAT. By mid-July, I was shedding massive amounts of hair and losing lashes and thinning brows. MD agreed that it was b/c of the beta blocker, so I was weaned from it by Aug.31. I was told the hair shedding would continue for up to a year b/c of TE. Well, by last fall (2013), the shedding hadn't stopped, so I was put through a battery of blood tests in September.
Dear Doctor
It was not latisse that I used, and I don't have the dry eyes problem any more it's eyelids swelling.
with a dermotolgist so that i can go on latisse treatment I do not know how that will work !?! Will they grow back ? How long will it take? ( with out the product of anykind)? do they naturally grow back??

I am still losing hair and still using Latisse. Thankfully, I began with unbelievably thick hair, so the thinning of it isn't showing any bald spots - just an overall thinning and lackluster hair. At this point, my dermatologist said that a I clearly have CTE that is out of control b/c of the beta blocker trigger. Great. We know what started it, but don't know how to stop it.
Anyway, I am thinking about it now and also thinking about buying a truckload of Latisse. Will that help? I am also thinking about tatooing my eyeliner and eyebrows. How long do you not have hair? I want to check out a wig that is nice. I want to know everything and plan for everything. I am such a lightweight in the drug arena that I can only take regular strength advil and tylenol. Do they give you different levels of chemo for your tolerance and reaction?
The makers of Lumigan recently started to market the very same drops under the name Latisse for eyelash growth. I understand that they also looked into using it as a treatment for baldness but its too expensive to cover a large area like the scalp.
I am very disappointed at postings that indicate people feel their surgeons are pressuring them to upgrade to a multifocal IOL.
