I LOVE my Latisse Lashes UPDATE

I’ve been using Latisse since March and I still love my Latisse lashes! After my initial 16 weeks of daily application I dropped down as directed to 2-3 times a week for maintenance. I found that my eyelashes were still growing and my goodness they were starting to become a hazard, for example: they barely fit under my sunglasses and they became heavy when wet, be careful what you wish for “I want them so thick it will be hard for me to open my eyes” well I got it.

I decided to drop down to 1-2 times a week to continue to maintain my beautiful Latisse lashes I worked so hard for (not really, it was super simple) but not more than that for fear that someone might get poked if they got too close. Can you imagine? My lashes are still longer, darker and fuller as promised but now I don’t feel like they will continue to grow until they are freakishly long (semi-freak will do for me, thank you) and with the drop in usage my bottle will last even longer. It is said that there are 80 drops of Latisse in every 3ml bottle but I found there to be so many more that I lost count. All of our patients are also surprised at how long their Latisse bottles are lasting them and they are ALL loving their Latisse lashes too.

Keep checking back we will be posting many before and after pictures of Dr. Dima’s actual patients on Latisse. For now I’ve posted some fun pictures of my Latisse lashes with just the tiniest bit of Obscenely Overweight Astrolash Mascara™ cuz even skinny lashes need lovin, no eyelashe curlers were used in the making of these photos and if you look very closely you will see that my lashes actually touch my brow bone.

Yes ladies this stuff really does work! If you can’t come in to see Dr. Dima you can find a physician near you at Latisse.com


I have put together an educational video for Latisse with some great before and after photos. Hope you like it.

I love my Latisse Lashes!!

I was very excited to hear that Allergan (makers of Botox and Juvederm) was coming out with Lattisse a solution to grow eyelashes thicker, darker and longer. I am fortunate to have been born with long eyelashes and I was very proud of them but I always wished they were THICKER, so when Dr. Dima started prescribing Latisse I was the first on board even though everyone said “But you already have long eyelashes.” Yeah well, Latisse makes lashes thicker and darker too; I wanted my lashes so thick it would be hard for me to open my eyes. J/K, but not really.

I started applying Latisse to my eyelashes on March 16th. I swear my lashes looked darker the next day (but maybe that was all in my head). I diligently applied Latisse to a clean eyelid every morning just like Dr. Dima recommends; after it dried I applied my eye make-up as usual including my mascara. According to Latisse.com most people start to see a difference at 8 weeks with full results at 16 weeks resulting in lashes that are 25% longer, 106% fuller and 18% darker. I really noticed a difference after about 3 weeks, they seemed longer when I was applying my mascara. Everyone is different but the majority of our patients have commented that they saw a noticeable difference at about 3 weeks too, stating “This stuff really works, look at my lashes they are longer!

Throughout the clinical trials some users experienced itchy eyes and eye redness. Many users found these irritations went away as they became used to the solution or began using it properly. A little goes a long way, if you use too much your eye will get irritated. I noticed one or two days of eye redness but that quickly resolved.

As you can see from my un-retouched pictures this stuff really works! I don’t feel like I have to use mascara anymore, I am just amazed at the fullness and really do love the look of my Latisse lashes and the best part is you can grow them and still use mascara. It was really easy to incorporate the daily application into my normal routine I’ve been using Latisse for 13 weeks, and after the full 16 weeks I will only need to apply 2-3 times per week for maintenance.
Latisse is the only FDA approved solution for eyelash growth and has to be prescribed by a physician so buyers beware. If you can’t come in and see Dr. Dima for your Latisse you can go to Latisse.com to find a physician near you.
