FORGOT YOUR DETAILS?

Hypotrichosis is a condition marked by a reduced amount of hair on the head and/or body. Specifically, Hypotrichosis of the eyelashes is described as inadequate, thin eyelashes, or not enough eyelashes. Those suffering from hypotrichosis complain of having short, intermittent lashes.

Many eyelash conditioners and enhancers have become available to the public, promising longer, thicker lashes. LATISSE is the first and only science-based treatment approved by the FDA to enhance eyelash prominence as measured by increases in length, thickness and darkness of eyelashes. LATISSE is a once-daily prescription treatment applied to the base of the upper eyelashes with a sterile applicator.
