Latisse or Lash Extensions: Which Approach Suits You?

Latisse and lash extensions aim to improve the appearance of the lash line, but they do so in completely different ways. Extensions add artificial fibres to existing lashes for an immediate result. A bimatoprost based treatment is intended to support the growth of the person’s own eyelashes over time.

Extensions are attractive when a rapid transformation is needed for a wedding, holiday or event. They can create a precise style and do not require waiting for the natural growth cycle. The trade off is ongoing salon maintenance, repeated adhesive use and the need to protect the extensions from friction and oil-based products.

An eyelash growth treatment requires more patience. Changes develop over several weeks as the natural hairs spend longer in active growth. The result is not instant but it is your own lash line and will look natural.

Cost should be considered over a longer period rather than by comparing one appointment with one bottle. Regular infills can become a continuing expense while a home based routine takes a lot less time than appointments with your lash technician.

Some people use both approaches at different times. For example, they may initially rely on extensions while working towards stronger-looking natural lashes. Care is needed, however, because heavy or poorly maintained extensions can place additional strain on fine hairs.

MyLash explains the consultation-led route for people interested in growing their natural eyelashes. This allows suitability and expectations to be considered before treatment.

The best choice depends on the desired timescale. Extensions offer immediate length and volume. Latisse eyelash serum treatment focuses on gradual natural growth. People who dislike salon maintenance or want to rely less on false lashes may prefer the second approach, provided they are comfortable following a consistent routine.

Stylist reviews Mylash

Mylash is offering a consultations for individuals that wish to grow their eyelashes longer, thicker and darker. Anyone who has heard of Latisse UK  – the revolutionary lash lengthener that’s only available on prescription will also know its incredibly hard to get a hold of outside the US. Not any more….  Down some narrow steps at the back of a make up salon on a quiet backstreet in Londons’ Knightbridge, lash expert Sue Marsh is now organising Mylash, an identical substance to Latisse with exactly the same active ingredient – bimatoprost, which works by stimulating prostaglanding receptors in hair and increasing the follicle activity – and exactly the same results.  Complete the online consultation and, if suitable, you will receive treatment in the post. Stylist tip: manufacturers say you need to apply it every day, but once you’ve established full growth (about three months), you only need to use it every three days to keep lashes lush.

THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS! I have always wanted longer, thicker lashes so when I heard about this miracle treatment I was thoroughly intrigued. I met the doctor in a chic central London salon to be walked through the treatment and what it involved.  It contains prostaglandin analogue that stimulates the eyelash follicles to grow hairs that are much longer, thicker and darker. It is simple to use and after 10 weeks I can say that I’ve had amazing results.  A must have beauty treatment and a celebrity secret. Author: Danielle Lineker MIRROR, 8TH FEBRUARY 2011

Mylash: Vogue

ELISABETH TNT GIVES UP EYELASH EXTENSIONS AND REVAMPS HER HOLIDAY BEAUTY LOOK. When the dernier cry at the Vogue offices last year was a pair of long, fluttery lashes, I promptly made a visit to i-Plaza, an unassuming downtown salon where the meticulous Yoshi worked his magic. An hour later, I opened my eyes to the Jessica Rabbit gaze of my dreams. I was instantly addicted. But intervention came by way of an allergic reaction to the lash glue after a top-up in Paris during Fashion Week turned my eyes red, itchy, and swollen. Sue Marsh, who runs a tiny lash atelier back home in London, recommended an “eyelash lift”— an increasingly popular alternative to extensions— to take the edge off. It worked. The gentle perming gel-and-tint treatment that bends hairs at the root, pushing them up rather than down, gave me eye-opening lashes for weeks— no maintenance necessary. The best part? They were all mine. With added help from treatment serums, like the polypeptide-packed NeuLash to minimize b...
