Now that You Have Enhanced Your Vision with LASIK, Get Ready to Enhance Your Eye Lashes with Latisse™

San Diego and Southern California

Longer, thicker and darker lashes can be yours with the help of Latisse™, the first and only FDA approved prescription treatment for hypotrichosis, or inadequate eyelashes.

Available at ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center, this eyelash treatment was researched and developed by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader in prescription eye care products. A glaucoma specialist, Dr. Murray Johnstone, found that glaucoma medications had an unusual side effect; patient’s eyelashes were growing, darkening and thickening.  Allergan then developed Latisse™.

The development of Latisse™ is much like BOTOX®, which was first approved by the FDA as a medical treatment for eye disorders.  The side effect of the treatment was an aesthetic benefit for wrinkles.  Allergan saw a way to meet a need in the medical aesthetic marketplace and, like BOTOX®, further developed Latisse™ for the general public.

Latisse™ is effective and easy to use. The solution is applied topically to the base of the upper eyelid once a day. The active ingredient bimatoprost increasing the number of eyelash hairs in the growth phase and extend its duration for optimal length and fullness.  Latisse™ is clinically proven to produce beautiful eyelashes and absolutely remarkable results in four to sixteen weeks!
