Apply at the upper lash line
A very small amount is placed along the skin where the upper eyelashes emerge. Excess liquid is removed to limit spread beyond the intended area.

A clear starting point
Looking for Latisse in Australia?
Latisse is the American brand name most people recognise. Its active ingredient is bimatoprost 0.03%. It is applied carefully at the base of the upper eyelashes and acts on the eyelash growth cycle.
Australians often search for Latisse eyelash serum even when the available treatment is described by the active ingredient rather than the American brand. This site explains that difference.

The active ingredient
What is bimatoprost?
Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analogue. Its effect on eyelashes was first noticed when it was used as an eye treatment. The lashes became longer, fuller and darker. This observation led to controlled trials of bimatoprost applied at the upper lash line and to the development of Latisse.
It is not a conditioner that adds a coat to the lash in the way mascara does. It acts below the skin at the hair follicle. This means the change is gradual because the eyelashes must grow.
- It works with the natural eyelash growth cycle
- Early changes can appear after about four weeks
- The main clinical end point was measured at 16 weeks
- Continued use is needed to maintain the effect
How it works
Three simple ideas
Bimatoprost changes the behaviour of the eyelash follicle. The visible result takes time because the lash itself still has to grow.
Support the growth phase
Bimatoprost increases the proportion of follicles in the active growth phase and can extend the time a lash continues growing.
See a gradual change
Length is often noticed first. Fullness and darkness build over the following weeks with the main result assessed at week 16.

How long does Latisse take to work?
Weeks 0–4
The effect is beginning at the follicle but visible change may still be subtle.
Weeks 4–8
Some people begin to notice added length and a darker lash line.
Weeks 8–12
Fullness becomes easier to see as more lashes progress through growth.
Week 16
This was the main assessment point in the pivotal clinical study.
If treatment stops the eyelashes gradually return towards their previous appearance as they complete their normal growth cycle.
Results in context
What can change?
A successful result is normally a change in the person’s own eyelashes. They may look longer, fuller and darker but the precise balance differs between people.
Before and after pictures are useful but they should be read carefully. Lighting, mascara, camera angle and the point in the natural lash cycle can all alter appearance.

Side effects and sensible use
The most commonly reported effects are itching, redness, irritation or darkening of the skin close to the application line. Unwanted hair can grow where liquid repeatedly touches other skin. More significant eye reactions are less common but should not be ignored.
Anyone with an eye condition, previous eye surgery or treatment that changes eye pressure. We have all of our clients complete a medical form which is reviewed by a doctor before proceeding. If you are unsuitable for treatment then you would not get charged.

Latisse Australia FAQ
What is Latisse eyelash serum?
Latisse is bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% supplied for use along the upper eyelash line. It was developed for people with inadequate or sparse eyelashes and increases lash length, fullness and darkness.
Is Latisse the same as bimatoprost?
Bimatoprost is the active ingredient. Latisse is a particular brand and presentation. This is why searches for bimatoprost lash serum and Latisse often lead to information about the same active molecule.
Where can I buy Latisse online from Australia?
Mylash.biz is an information site and does not process orders. Our order links continue to Mylash.org where current pricing, eligibility and delivery details are displayed before you proceed.
Is Latisse illegal in Australia?
Calling Latisse illegal is misleading. Latisse is an American brand name for bimatoprost 0.03% and the same brand is not marketed in every country. Brand availability and supply routes differ so the current ordering information is shown on Mylash.org.
How quickly should I expect longer lashes?
Some people see an early change after about four weeks. The most complete result is normally judged at 16 weeks. It is a gradual process rather than an instant cosmetic coating.
Will the results last if I stop?
No. The effect reduces gradually after stopping because treated lashes shed naturally and are replaced by lashes growing without bimatoprost.
