Once-a-day application
One 3-mL kit of LATISSE® includes FDA-approved sterile applicators.
-
Once nightly, start by ensuring your face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are
removed.
-
Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile applicator horizontally,
place one drop of LATISSE® on the area of the applicator closest
to the tip but not on the tip.
-
Then immediately draw the applicator carefully across the skin of the upper eyelid
margin at the base of the eyelashes (where the eyelashes meet the skin) going from
the inner part of your lash line to the outer part.
-
Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid margin. If the solution gets into the
eye, it is not expected to cause harm. The eye should not be rinsed.
-
Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for the opposite upper eyelid margin
using a new sterile applicator. This helps minimize any potential for contamination
from one eyelid to another.
LATISSE® solution contains benzalkonium chloride, which may be absorbed
by soft contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed prior to application of
solution and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.
There have been reports of bacterial keratitis associated with the use of multiple-dose
containers of topical ophthalmic products.
Patients should be informed of the possibility of hair growth occurring outside
of the target treatment area if LATISSE® repeatedly touches the same
area of skin outside the treatment area. They should also be informed of the possibility
of disparity between eyes in length, thickness, pigmentation, number of eyelashes
or vellus hairs, and/or direction of eyelash growth.
