Latisse & Upneeq

Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription eyelash serum that enhances lash growth, making them longer, thicker, and darker over time. Upneeq is a prescription eye drop that lifts the upper eyelids, providing a more open, refreshed, and awake appearance. While Latisse works gradually for lash enhancement, Upneeq provides an immediate temporary lift to drooping eyelids (ptosis).

Latisse is ideal if you want to grow longer, fuller, and darker lashes over time. Upneeq is best if you experience low-lying eyelids (ptosis) and want an instant, temporary lift to make your eyes look brighter and more open. Your provider can help determine which option (or both) is best for you.

Latisse contains bimatoprost, an active ingredient that extends the growth phase of eyelashes, increasing their length, fullness, and darkness over time. It is applied once daily to the upper lash line with a sterile applicator.

Most clients start seeing results in 4 weeks, with full results at 16 weeks. Continued use is required to maintain longer, fuller lashes.

If you stop using Latisse, your lashes will gradually return to their original length and thickness over a few weeks to months. To maintain results, continued application is necessary.

No, Latisse is only approved for use on the upper lash line. Applying it to the lower lashes may cause irritation or unwanted hair growth in unintended areas.

Some clients may experience mild irritation, redness, or dryness along the lash line. A rare side effect is darkening of the eyelid skin, which is reversible if the product is discontinued. Latisse may cause increased brown pigmentation of the iris in those with light-colored eyes (such as green, blue, or hazel), which is permanent but extremely rare.

Yes, Latisse can be used with eyelash extensions to help maintain natural lash health and reduce damage from prolonged extension use. However, it is important to apply Latisse carefully along the lash line to avoid loosening the adhesive.

Upneeq contains oxymetazoline, which temporarily stimulates the muscles that lift the upper eyelid, providing an instant, subtle lift that lasts up to 8 hours. It is a simple, once-daily prescription eye drop that brightens and refreshes the eyes.

Upneeq works within 15-30 minutes, providing a subtle yet noticeable lift to the eyelids. Effects last for 6-8 hours.

Upneeq is FDA-approved for acquired ptosis, a condition where the upper eyelids droop due to muscle weakness. It is commonly used to:

• Brighten tired-looking eyes
• Create a more lifted, refreshed appearance
• Provide a temporary eyelid lift before events or photos
• Correct temporary ptosis caused by an adverse side effect of neuromodulator (Botox/Dysport) use

Yes, Upneeq is safe for daily use. It can also be used occasionally for special occasions when you want a brighter, more lifted look.

Upneeq is a non-surgical, temporary solution for mild to moderate eyelid drooping. It does not provide permanent results and is not a replacement for eyelid surgery in cases of severe ptosis or excess skin. Your provider can help determine if Upneeq is the right option for you.

Some clients may experience mild eye redness, irritation, or dryness. A temporary slight headache or eye pressure may also occur but typically resolves quickly.

Yes, but you should apply Upneeq first and wait at least 15 minutes before inserting contact lenses.

Latisse is best for those looking to naturally enhance their lashes over time, while Upneeq is ideal for those wanting an instant, temporary eyelid lift. Many clients use both for a brighter, more youthful eye appearance. However, Latisse is not safe for individuals with certain eye conditions, and Upneeq has specific medical and medication contraindications. Your provider will assess your medical history to determine if either treatment is right for you.

Yes! Many clients use Latisse for long-term lash enhancement and Upneeq for a quick eyelid lift when needed. They work well together for a refreshed, well-rested look.

Yes, but consult your provider first if you have had LASIK, cataract surgery, or other eye procedures. Contact lens wearers should wait at least 15 minutes after applying Upneeq before inserting lenses.

Latisse is $150 for a one-month supply, and Upneeq is $200 for a one-month supply.

Both Latisse and Upneeq require a prescription. You can schedule a consultation through our portal or request them during your appointment. Your provider will determine if you are a candidate and discuss the best option for your needs.
