What is Bimatoprost?
Generic Latisse (Bimatoprost 0.03%) is a prostaglandin analog used to enhance eyelash growth. Originally developed to treat glaucoma, it was found to have a side effect that patients loved—longer, thicker, darker lashes. FDA-approved for hypotrichosis (inadequate or sparse eyelashes), Generic Latisse is applied nightly to the upper lash line to stimulate the natural growth cycle of lashes. Full results typically appear within 8–16 weeks of consistent use.
How does it work?
Bimatoprost lengthens and enhances lashes by extending the growth phase (anagen phase) of the eyelash hair cycle:
- Prostaglandin Analog Action
• Bimatoprost mimics natural prostamides, increasing the length of time eyelashes spend in their active growth phase, resulting in longer lashes over time. - Thicker and Darker Lash Enhancement
• It not only promotes length but also improves lash density and pigmentation, making lashes appear fuller and darker even without mascara. - Local Application = Minimal Systemic Absorption
• The topical formula acts directly on the lash follicles with very little systemic exposure, ensuring targeted results with minimal side effects.
