LATISSE - Eyelash Enhancement in Arcadia
Conveniently located to serve Arcadia, CA
Every year, millions are spent on artificial enhancements to make eyelashes appear longer, darker, and fuller. While aging can naturally thin these few lashes, Dr. Jen Chow at the Chow Center for Facial Plastic Surgery provides Latisse as a medical-grade solution in Arcadia, CA. This FDA-approved eyelash serum helps patients regain naturally lush lashes by extending the hair growth cycle.
What Is Latisse Eyelash Growth Treatment?
Latisse is a prescription treatment for inadequate or missing eyelashes (hypotrichosis). As the first FDA-approved eyelash serum, it is clinically proven to grow lashes longer, fuller, and darker. It should only be used under the supervision of a qualified physician, such as Dr. Chow.
Am I a Good Candidate for Latisse?
Dr. Chow will review your medical history and examine your eyes to determine if you will benefit from this medical-grade eyelash serum that Arcadia patients trust. Ideal candidates often include those looking for:
- Eyelash enhancement without extensions or the damage caused by lash glues
- A long-term treatment for thin eyelashes caused by aging or genetics
- Naturally longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes
- A solution that simplifies their daily beauty regimen
Your Latisse Results Timeline
This is a treatment you take home and apply to your eyelashes each night, much like liquid eyeliner. Because it works with the natural growth cycle of your hair, the Latisse results timeline is gradual:
-
- Week 4: Some patients may begin to see initial increases in length.
- Week 8: Most patients notice significantly fuller and darker lashes.
- Week 16: Latisse results typically peak at this stage, with maximum growth.
How to Apply Latisse for Best Results
First, make sure your face is clean and dry by removing all makeup and contact lenses. Next, remove a sterile applicator from its tray and hold it horizontally. Place exactly one drop of the solution on the area of the applicator closest to the tip, avoiding the tip itself. Immediately draw the applicator carefully along the skin at the base of the upper eyelashes, moving from the inner to the outer lash line.
Once applied, blot away any excess solution beyond the eyelid with a tissue to prevent hair growth in unintended areas. Finally, dispose of the used applicator and repeat the entire process for the other eye using a fresh, sterile applicator to prevent contamination.
Latisse Cost in Arcadia, CA
The cost of Latisse in Arcadia, CA, is often viewed as a cost-effective alternative to the recurring expense of professional extensions. While price can vary based on kit size, one bottle typically lasts four to six months, depending on whether you are in the initiation or maintenance phase. During a consultation at our Arcadia office, Dr. Chow will provide a personalized quote.
