Why Consistency Matters With Latisse Eyelash Serum

Image
Consistency is one of the most important parts of any successful eyelash growth routine. The Latisse eyelash serum does not work like mascara, which creates an immediate visual effect and is removed at the end of the day. It works gradually by influencing hairs as they pass through the natural growth cycle. Each eyelash follicle operates independently. On any given day some lashes are growing, some are resting and others are approaching the point at which they will shed. Regular application helps support the intended effect across a larger number of follicles over time. The easiest way to remain consistent is to connect application to an existing evening habit. For example, it can follow cleansing and makeup removal once the skin is clean and dry. Keeping the applicators and treatment in a regular place also reduces the chance of missing days. Precision matters more than volume. A small amount applied carefully along the upper lash margin is the usual approach. Flooding the area or re...

Can Latisse Be Used for Eyebrows?

Image
Latisse is best known as an eyelash treatment but many people also search for information about Latisse for eyebrows. The interest is understandable because eyebrow hairs, like eyelashes, grow from follicles that pass through the same active growth and resting stages. Bimatoprost has been studied for eyebrow hypotrichosis, which is the medical term for inadequate or sparse eyebrow growth. Research has reported improvements in eyebrow fullness in treated groups although eyebrow use should still be discussed with an appropriate clinician rather than assumed to be suitable for everyone. There are several reasons why eyebrows may appear thin. Repeated plucking, ageing, hormonal changes, skin conditions, nutritional problems and some medical treatments can all contribute. In some cases, treating the underlying cause is more important than applying a topical product. A consultation therefore adds value. It can help distinguish between long standing naturally fine brows, cosmetic damage and a...

Latisse or Lash Extensions: Which Approach Suits You?

Image
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 expens...

What Happens When You Stop Using Latisse?

Image
A common question about Latisse is whether the result becomes permanent. Bimatoprost changes the way eyelashes grow while it is being used but it does not permanently rewrite the natural growth cycle of every follicle. When treatment is stopped the enhanced lashes do not normally disappear overnight. Existing hairs continue through their remaining cycle before shedding naturally. Over the following weeks and months the replacement lashes grow according to the person’s usual pattern. This means that the lash line gradually returns towards its original appearance. This gradual change is useful to understand when reviewing before and after photographs. A picture taken immediately after stopping treatment will still show many of the longer hairs produced during use. A later photograph is more likely to reflect the person’s untreated baseline. Some users move from an initial daily routine to a maintenance schedule after reaching their preferred result. Any change in frequency should follow ...

Where to Buy Latisse in the UK: What to Look For

Image
Searches for where to buy Latisse in the UK are common, but the wording can be misleading. Latisse is a US prescription brand, and bimatoprost is not an ordinary beauty product that should be selected from an unverified online marketplace. The safest starting point is a regulated consultation service. This allows a qualified prescriber to review the information supplied, decide whether treatment is suitable and provide appropriate instructions. The treatment should be supplied through a legitimate UK pharmacy rather than a seller that offers prescription products without meaningful checks. Authenticity matters because an attractive website does not prove that a bottle contains the stated ingredient or concentration. Overseas sellers may provide little information about sourcing, storage conditions or who is responsible if a problem occurs. Very low prices and the absence of any medical assessment should be treated cautiously. People often search using the American brand name even when ...

Latisse Before and After: How to Interpret Results Carefully

Image
Searches for Latisse before and after photographs are common, but photographs need careful interpretation. Changes in lighting, mascara, camera angle and eyelash curling can create a dramatic visual difference even when the underlying hairs have changed much less. A fair comparison begins with a genuine baseline. The lashes should be photographed without mascara or eyeliner, using even lighting and a consistent camera position. A front facing photograph can show overall fullness, while a side view may make changes in length easier to assess. Timing also matters. Bimatoprost acts through the eyelash growth cycle, so pictures taken only a few days apart are unlikely to provide useful information. Comparisons across eight, twelve and sixteen weeks are more meaningful because a greater number of lashes have had time to pass through active growth. When viewing photographs online, look for differences that may exaggerate the result. Has mascara been added in the later image? Is the after pic...

Why Natural Lash Growth Appeals to Mature Women

Image
Eyelashes can become finer, shorter or less noticeable with age. This may reduce definition around the eyes and lead to greater reliance on mascara, false lashes or extensions. For many mature women, the attraction of an eyelash growth treatment is the possibility of improving their own natural lash line. Hair growth changes over time. The active growth phase may become shorter, while individual hairs can become finer and less strongly pigmented. The result is not always obvious lash loss; sometimes the lashes are still present but create less visual contrast. Cosmetic options can help. Mascara adds temporary colour and thickness, while a lash lift can make existing hairs appear more visible. Extensions create the fastest transformation, but they require regular maintenance and may not suit everyone. Bimatoprost based treatment takes a different approach by acting on the eyelash growth cycle. The effect develops gradually, so it is better suited to someone who wants a longer-term routi...

Stylist reviews Mylash

Image
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.

Time to anti-age your eyelashes

Image
You may not want to know this — so shut your eyes now! — but if your hair is going grey, there’s worse to come. Your eyelashes may be starting to turn grey, too. It’s perfectly natural: the hair follicles from which they grow just give up on producing melanin, the pigment that gives them their colour, though it doesn’t usually happen before your hair is grey. And going grey isn’t the only thing we have to worry about. Thanks to changing hormone levels, lashes naturally thin as we get older, too. This leaves us with less definition around the eyes and can make us look more tired. You could resort to just piling on extra mascara — but if you want something more permanent, there’s plenty you can do to counteract it. In fact, there’s a bewildering array of options to improve the way your lashes look. Here’s our pick of the treatments that can really make a difference . . .

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

The claim: One drop of MyLash applied nightly along the lashline is meant to give 25 percent longer, 106 percent thicker and 18 percent darker lashes. The verdict: After clocking a barmaids full and fluttery set (of lashes!), she tells me it’s all thanks to MyLash , so I decide a road test is in order. She was onto something: it’s crazily effective. After just one application, I notice a difference the next morning. Who Magazine, November 2014. Written by: Suzanne Scott

Mylash: Vogue

Image
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...

Helen Mirren Latisse

Image
Considering the thousands of pounds some celebrities are prepared to pay for a haircut, it’s refreshing to hear that not everyone splashes the cash on a stylist. Dame Helen Mirren has confessed to trimming her locks herself. The Oscar winner told Redbook magazine: “I can’t handle going to the hairdresser every six weeks, so I only go about once a year. In between, I get the scissors and do something, usually rather disastrously. Sometimes I’ll even chop my hair the morning of a big red carpet event.” Helen’s no stranger to pulling off a riskier trend either, and inspired a host of women to change their hair colour after she dyed hers pink. The 68-year-old, who won an Academy Award for her title role in The Queen, also revealed her relaxed attitude to beauty, saying: “I don’t really know what a beauty routine is. I don’t have one quite honestly.” But that doesn’t mean she steers clear of experimenting with make-up. “I wear make-up every day. I love putting it on, and I get really into i...

Eyelash fertiliser

Whatever your lovely lash-extension lady tells you to the contrary, hear this: lash extensions will ruin your natural lashes. Even Sue Marsh, formerly the high priestess of extensions, has turned her back on them and will only fit them as a one-off (say, for brides). Instead, she has got her faithful followers using Mylash, which contains bimatoprost , the drug that is known to enhance lash length and colour, then she perms and tints those longer natural lashes for a more natural-looking type of lash perfection.

Lash Miracle?

Image
As a beauty editor friends are always asking me what I think about the new lash growing potions. Colleagues in the States have used Latisse , a prescription only product which does deliver spectacular results (but conversely has rare side effects of darkening of your lids or making your irises brown). In the UK you can get a similar product from Mylash.org . Beauty editor mates have raved about this also. At dinner a few nights ago yet another beauty doyenne was praising RevitaLash, a ‘cosmetic’ (i.e. not considered a drug) treatment. Her lashes were fuller and longer and she was very pleased. But if all that sounds like too much hassle a pair of Shu Uemura lash curlers used diligently works miracles too.

LASH OUT

If you’ve got it, float it Lush lashes were all over the spring/summer catwalks: from the extravagant 60’s eyes at Moschino to feathered, lace-print numbers at Chanel. Get the jump on next season’s eyes by preparing your lashes now. Latisse may take three months to work, but work it does: originally developed to treat glaucoma, this drug happened to have the pleasing side effect of making lashes twice as long and thick : it’s our desert-island essential. Apply it like liquid liner every night and in time you could have a set to beat the Moschino girls. Curlers won’t cut it on long lashes so try a chemical uplift treatment like Nouveau Beauty Group’s LVL Lashes, the modern alternative to perming. Lashes are treated with a gentle formula and lifted upwards on tiny rods; 30 minutes later you’ve got a freshly curled look that stays in place for two months. Perfect for beach holidays, it nixes the need for mascara, so your poolside make-up will stay pristine. Written by: Christine Curtis P...

Lotion to regrow lashes CLAIM: This liquid contains bimatoprost , which is said to help grow stronger and thicker eyelashes. Apply daily with the brush provided for four months. EXPERT VERDICT: Iain Sallis, a consultant trichologist at BMI The Park Hospital in Nottinghamshire, says: ‘Bimatoprost was initially developed to treat people with the eye pressure condition glaucoma, which can cause blindness, and users of the drug noticed an unexpected side-effect: thicker, longer lashes. ‘It’s not licensed for any specific hair loss problem, but is worth a try for some hair loss conditions or if chemotherapy has caused your eyelashes to fall out. ‘I sometimes recommend products like this to patients with eyelash loss. It’s safe to use, but see your GP if you get side-effects such as irritation.’ Written for the Daily Mail, print edition 14th December 2019, by: Caroline Jones
