Latisse® is a prescription treatment designed to improve the appearance of thin or inadequate eyelashes. Many people notice that their lashes become shorter, lighter, or less full over time due to aging, genetics, or other factors. Latisse works by extending the natural growth phase of eyelashes, allowing them to grow longer, thicker, and darker with consistent use.
At Jaibaji Plastic Surgery, patients receive personalized guidance when considering non-surgical aesthetic treatments like Latisse. Dr. Moneer Jaibaji brings extensive experience in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, helping patients choose treatments that support subtle, natural-looking enhancements. Patients in Coronado and throughout San Diego trust his thoughtful approach to facial aesthetics and individualized care.
What Is Latisse?
Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription solution used to treat inadequate eyelash growth, a condition also known as hypotrichosis. Unlike cosmetic products that simply coat the lashes, Latisse works at the follicle level to stimulate natural lash growth.
By prolonging the growth phase of the lash cycle, Latisse allows eyelashes to:
- Grow longer
- Become fuller and thicker
- Appear darker and more noticeable
Because Latisse is a prescription medication, it must be obtained through a qualified medical provider. It is not available at standard cosmetic counters or retail stores.
In clinical trials, approximately 78 percent of patients experienced significant improvement in the prominence of their eyelashes when using Latisse as directed.

Who Is a Candidate for Latisse?
Latisse can be an excellent option for individuals who want to enhance their natural lashes without cosmetic extensions or procedures. It is commonly used by patients who feel their lashes appear sparse, thin, or less visible than they would like.
However, Latisse may not be appropriate for everyone. Patients with certain eye conditions or medical concerns may not be ideal candidates for treatment.
During a consultation, Dr. Jaibaji will review your medical history and discuss whether Latisse is a safe and appropriate option for your aesthetic goals.
How to Use Latisse
One of the advantages of Latisse is that it can be applied easily at home as part of your nightly routine.
To apply Latisse:
- Cleanse your face and remove any makeup.
- Ensure the eyelids and lashes are clean and dry.
- Place a single drop of Latisse solution onto the provided applicator.
- Carefully brush the applicator along the base of the upper lash line.
The solution should be applied once each evening before bedtime. The applicator is designed to deliver the correct amount of medication while maintaining cleanliness and precision.
Consistency is important when using Latisse. Skipping applications may delay or reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
Latisse Results and Recovery
Latisse does not produce immediate results, as eyelash growth occurs gradually through the natural hair growth cycle.
Most patients begin to notice improvement in their lashes after 8 to 12 weeks of regular use. Full results are typically visible after approximately 16 weeks when the treatment is used as directed.
Because Latisse is a topical treatment applied at home, there is no downtime or recovery period required. Patients can continue their normal daily activities while using the product.
If treatment is discontinued, eyelashes will gradually return to their previous appearance over time.
