Successful results at 14 weeks with latisse

View More Posts Ignore
Check out the latest photos of my eyelashes and eye brows. I have now been using latisse for 14 weeks. The results are amazing and I can't believe that the person I am looking at in the mirror is really me. (I pulled for 40 years.) I am so much more relaxed. I still have my trich moments, but the barriers are working for me now. Don't get me wrong, I am worried and nervous about the possibility that I might do damage by pulling at what I've so long desired. It is not easy, but I take one day at a time and keep my hands busy. Please, I'll take all the encouragement that I can get. Thank you.

" How exciting for you!! I have gotten a prescription myself but waiting until my "scheduled" first pull free day on October 1st to start using it. I am like you pulled for many years however I pull both lashes and brows for the entire time. I have never been successful at being pull free for more than six weeks. I believe I have a great chance for success now and I am so happy to read your post...it's encouraging to know that I might have total recovery too! Before Latisse, I thought it would take forever for growth and not a lot of promise for full lashes and brows. Keep it UP!!! "

" Thanks for the cheers everyone. Lindal, I'm rooting for you, too. You started Latisse yesterday. How did it go? Make sure you use barriers of some sort along with the Latisse. Keep me posted. "
