Ask Doctor Grover – Who Can Prescribe Latisse Eyelash Treatments?

Any physician can prescribe Latisse; however, not all physicians will be familiar with its indications, use and contraindications.  You should try and seek a board certified plastic surgeon, dermatologist or oculoplastic surgeon/ophthalmologist.  You can also go to latisse.com to find a provider near you.

Where do I get a Latisse Eyelash Extender Treatment Prescription?

Allergan, the makers of Botox, received FDA clearance for Latisse, bimatoprost 0.03%, in December, 2008 for treating hypotrichosis of the eyelashes (short eyelashes).  It was released for sale at physician’s offices this January.

It is applied once daily to the base of the upper eyelashes.  It takes 8 to 16 weeks to see its effects and will regress to normal if discontinued.

Are monthly doctor visits required for Latisse refills?

If I want to get Latisse refills, do I have to see my doctor on a regular basis (like every month), or can I get a year’s supply or prescription, like birth control?

Given that Latisse is a new product just recently approved by the FDA for eyelash growth, it is important that patients follow up with their physican on a regular basis.  It seems reasonable to do this initially after 2-3 months and the proceed as indicated.
