Bimatoprost is a medication commonly used to treat high eye pressure in people with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It is also known for its ability to promote the growth of eyelashes. This use of bimatoprost is typically marketed under the brand name Latisse. Here are some key points about bimatoprost for eyelash growth:

Benefits

1. Increased Length: Bimatoprost has been clinically proven to increase the length of eyelashes.
2. Enhanced Thickness and Fullness: Regular application results in thicker and fuller eyelashes.
3. Darker Color: Many users report that their eyelashes appear darker with continuous use.

Mechanism of Action

Bimatoprost works by extending the growth phase (anagen phase) of the eyelash hair cycle. This results in longer, thicker, and more numerous lashes.

Application

• Dosage: Bimatoprost at concentration of 0.03% is typically applied once daily, in the evening.
• Method: Using a sterile applicator, a small amount of the solution is applied to the base of the upper eyelashes. It's important not to apply the solution to the lower lashes or other areas of the skin to avoid unwanted hair growth.
• Consistency: Consistent use is key to achieving desired results. Results are usually noticeable after two months of daily use, with full results after about 16 weeks.
