If you’re tired of costly eyelash extensions, fear your falsies falling out, or are feeling weighed down by heavy layers of mascara, you’ll be happy to learn that we offer Latisse.

Latisse can you help you grow thicker, darker, and longer lashes naturally for a flirty, fluttery look so that you never have to schedule another lash extension appointment again.

Reasons to Avoid Eyelash Extensions

There’s a good chance that you’re familiar with eyelash extensions, as well as false eyelashes. While extensions and false eyelashes technically achieve the same goal, they do so very differently. False eyelashes, or “falsies,” are designed for temporary use, often just one day. Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent and can last for up to 12 weeks.

Eyelash extensions are fake, individual eyelashes that are glued on one by one to natural eyelashes by an aesthetician. As the real lashes grow, so will the extensions, until both eventually fall off.

While extensions may seem like a good idea, they may not be your best choice. This option requires having the eyelashes filled every two to four weeks, resulting in expensive and time-consuming sessions. You also must avoid using any sort of oil-based cleanser or product that could possibly touch your lashes, creating further inconveniences and expenses.

Other setbacks to choosing eyelash extensions include the “fall out process.” Extensions will fall out along with your natural eyelashes. You will be losing lashes in between fillings, and there’s really nothing you can do except wait.

Following your fill, you will have to wait 12-24 hours before showering, and you will need to take extra precaution while doing so. Any water that directly touches the adhesive used to place the lashes can weaken, causing the lashes to fall out prematurely. Then, it will be necessary to blow dry your lashes.

If you have sensitive eyes or allergies, then eyelash extensions could pose a problem. It has been known for those with allergies to experience burning or discomfort while having eyelash extensions put on—this isn’t normal. If you do feel any discomfort, then eyelash extensions are most likely not for you.

Thankfully, there is a superior alternative available: Latisse.

About Latisse

Latisse achieves a more natural look than extensions because its results are natural. The lashes you will be showing off with Latisse will be 100% yours.

Further, Latisse is safe and FDA-approved.  Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Latisse, is often found in eye drops as a glaucoma medication, so it is very safe to use near your eyes.

Applying Latisse is relatively easy; the small bottle of solution comes with a supply of sterile, one-time use applicators. Patients need to brush the liquid onto the upper eyelash line. This same liquid will naturally transfer to the lower eyelids as you blink but should not be applied there directly.

Overall, it’s much easier than having to schedule extension fills every two weeks, placing and removing falsies, or poking your eye with a mascara wand (we’ve all been there).

Latisse has been proven to work for almost all patients. After the conclusion of a 16-week study, participants saw a 25 percent increase in length, a 106 percent increase in fullness, and an 18 percent increase in darkness. While Latisse does have a cosmetic appeal, it still must be prescribed to patients by a doctor.

As with most medications, side effects have been experienced, such as red and/or itchy eyes. However, the pros outweigh the small cons of this treatment. Latisse is safe, affordable, easy-to-apply, convenient, and effective. The results are also lasting; as long as you keep applying Latisse regularly, you will continue to experience, longer, fuller, darker eyelashes.

At Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, we can fully walk you through the treatment process, informing you of what to expect and how to properly care for your eyelashes. We want this to be an easy, pain-free experience that you enjoy. If you have questions or concerns regarding this product and your candidacy, we are here to help.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting longer, fuller eyelashes. From safety to convenience, to effectiveness and price, we suggest ditching eyelash extensions and growing your natural lashes out with Latisse.
