Did the younger you have thick, dark eyelashes? Have your lashes become sparse, thin, and shorter with age? If you’ve thought about eyelash extensions but don’t want the time, expense, or upkeep they require, Latisse may be a great alternative. But before you start, you might be wondering—how does Latisse work?
The Science Behind Latisse
Latisse is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment designed to help people with thin or sparse eyelashes. Since its approval in 2008, it has helped millions of women achieve longer, darker, and fuller lashes naturally. Produced by Allergan, the same company behind Botox Cosmetic, Latisse is both safe and effective when used correctly.
So, how does Latisse work exactly? The active ingredient in Latisse is bimatoprost, a compound originally developed to treat glaucoma. During clinical use, doctors noticed that patients using bimatoprost developed longer and thicker eyelashes. Researchers then formulated this ingredient into Latisse, specifically designed to stimulate eyelash growth.
Latisse works by extending the growth phase (anagen phase) of your eyelash hair cycle and increasing the number of hairs that grow during this period. The result is lashes that appear denser, darker, and noticeably longer over time.
What to Expect When Using Latisse
When used consistently for 12 to 16 weeks, you’ll start to see visible improvements in lash length and fullness. You only need to apply Latisse once daily to your upper lash line using the sterile applicator provided. The medication naturally transfers to your lower lashes when you blink, so there’s no need to apply it to both lids.
Because Latisse enhances your own eyelashes, the results look natural—not overdone like extensions can sometimes appear. Many users even find they can skip mascara altogether after a few months of consistent use.

Latisse is a prescription medication, so you’ll need approval from a licensed medical professional before you can purchase it. At Celibre Medical, we follow California state laws that require a Good Faith Exam with our physician or advanced practitioner before prescribing Latisse.
