LATISSE™
Dr. Kim and his staff are pleased to offer an amazing new technology that allows your eyelashes to grow thicker, fuller, and longer! LATISSE (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or not having enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.LATISSE works effectively. LATISSE makes eyelash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is not known, research suggests that the growth of eyelashes occurs by increasing the percent of hairs in, and the duration of, the anagen (or growth) phase. Lashes can grow longer, thicker and darker because bimatoprost can also prolong this growth phase.
Clinically proven results you can see over time. LATISSE is easy to use, FDA approved and effective. It's a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes. Patients in a clinical trial saw results gradually over time (starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks).
It's an innovation backed by research. While LATISSE is a new treatment in eyelash growth, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with over 60 years of expertise in prescription eye care products.
What to expect. Great eyelashes don't just happen overnight. That's why it's important to note that LATISSE (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% works gradually and remarkably — starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks. Once you begin treatment, you could start to see results in as little as 4 weeks, but you must continue applying the topical treatment each night and follow the directions for best results. Remember results are gradual over time.
Your eyelashes will experience real measurable growth. LATISSE works from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you'll begin to see changes in length, thickness and darkness gradually. After week 16, you'll see the full effect of LATISSE — and so will others.
The first step: meet with Dr. Kim or his aesthetic professional staff. Dr. Kim and his staff will evaluate your medical history to determine if you're a good candidate for LATISSE. If you have an eye infection, broken or irritated upper eyelid skin, or if you are using products for elevated intraocular pressure, discuss these issues with Dr. Kim.

What are the side effects? The most common side effects
after using LATISSE solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or
eye redness, which were reported in approximately 4% of patients. These
may occur immediately after use, but should usually last only for a short
period of time. Eye itching and eye redness are not allergic reactions,
and do not mean that your eyes are being harmed.
LATISSE solution may cause other less common side effects, which typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE is applied, or in the eyes. These include eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids. Skin darkening (or hyperpigmentation) is another less common side effect. This condition causes areas of skin to become darker than the surrounding skin color, but has been reported to be reversible after discontinuation of the product.
You should always only use the FDA-approved sterile applicators to apply LATISSE directly to the base of your upper eyelashes. The applicators have been specially designed and manufactured to meet FDA standards, and ensure that the correct dose of LATISSE is applied. This will maximize effectiveness and safety.
Could LATISSE cause the color of my eyes to change? Eye color change – iris pigmentation – was not reported in the LATISSE clinical trials. Iris pigmentation has occurred in patients who applied similar medications directly into the eye to treat elevated intraocular pressure/glaucoma. Keep in mind that the amount of product applied to the base of the upper eyelashes is only 5% of the volume vs. when applied directly into the eye. Most of LATISSE is absorbed by the skin at the upper eyelid margin. Please consult your doctor to learn more about LATISSE.
Is LATISSE safe? LATISSE is an FDA-approved prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker. Hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes. The FDA reviewed clinical study results to verify the identity, potency, purity and stability of the ingredients, and demonstrated that the product is safe and effective for its intended use if used as prescribed.
