Directions for Use
4.1. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT LATISSE® MUST BE USED EXACTLY AS DIRECTED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF COMPLICATIONS AND SIDE EFFECTS AND THAT ANY MISUSE OF LATISSE® COULD INCREASE THE CHANCES OF UNINTENDED SIDE EFFECTS.
4.2. You agree to follow these instructions:
- The Latisse bottle must be kept intact during use.
- Place one drop on the single use per eye applicator.
- Bottle tip should never be allowed to contact any other surface to avoid contamination.
- Sterile applicators may only be used on one eye and then discarded. Reuse of applicators
increases the potential for contamination and infection.
- Latisse should only be applied to the skin of the upper eyelid margins at the base
of the eyelashes. Do not apply Latisse to bottom lashes.
- Do not use Latisse more than once per day. Additional application will not increase
results but will increase the risk of possible complications and side effects.
- Upon discontinuation of Latisse eyelash growth is expected to return to its pre-use
level.
- Do not use Latisse on any other areas of the body. Studies have not been performed
as to the safety and effectiveness in any area other than the eyelashes.
- It is possible for hair growth to occur in other areas of your skin that Latisse
frequently touches. Any excess solutions outside the upper eyelid margin should
be blotted with a tissue or other absorbent material to reduce the chance of this
happening.
- It is possible for a difference in eyelash length, thickness, fullness, pigmentation
(darkness), number of eyelash hairs and/or direction of eyelash growth to occur
between eyes (e.g., results may vary for each eye). These differences, should they
occur, will usually go away if you stop using Latisse.
