Q• What is hypotrichosis of the eyelashes?
A• When a person does not have any hair growth on certain parts of
his or her body, the condition is known as hypotrichosis. If the
condition is limited to the eyelids, it is called hypotrichosis of
the eyelashes; it results in a person having no eyelashes.
Q• How soon will I see results?
A• Bimatoprost is a fast acting medication. In clinical trials of
Lumigan, it was found to reduce intraocular pressure within four
hours of application and maximum effects were seen within around
eight to twelve hours.
You will find that results with Latisse become visible in about four
weeks time in the form of new eyelash growth. Since hair growth is a
gradual process, full results will only be seen in about sixteen
weeks time of starting treatment.
Q• What if I forget to apply one night? Or a few nights?
A• Just skip the dose for that night or nights and start from the
next scheduled application. To get best results from Lumigan or
Latisse, you should apply either medication at exactly the same time
daily, ideally in the evening and not miss any dose.
Q• What should I do if I get Bimatoprost in my eye?
A• Bimatoprost is a medication for the eye, so there is nothing to
be worried about if you get it in your eye. The only thing you
should be careful about is to avoid getting it into your eye if you
are wearing contact lenses as this could stain your lenses and cause
eye irritation.
Q• Could Bimatoprost cause the colour of my eyes to change?
Bimatoprost does have pigmentation abilities. So if you use Lumigan
for a few months, you will find that the iris of your affected eye
has turned a different colour from that of the other one. Latisse
too causes pigmentation effects and leads to darkened eyelashes. If
you are using either medication on only one eye, you might develop
two different coloured eyes or eyelashes.
Q• What should I do if I experience eye itching?
A• You should do nothing as both Lumigan and Latisse cause temporary
eye itching. Bimatoprost works to increase outflow of fluid from the
eye which might cause an itching feeling; avoid rubbing to eye to
get relief. If you find that the itching is increasing or staying
on, check with your doctor if you are having an allergic reaction.
