Are you unhappy with the look of your eyelashes? Are they too sparse, too light, or too short or all of the above? You may be considering going the route of eyelash extensions, especially because they give you instant results. However, Our Clinic would like to recommend something better, that gives you natural results and won’t destroy your lashes like extensions will.

What is Latisse?

Latisse is an FDA-approved treatment that can help thicken, darken, and lengthen your natural eyelashes when used as directed. Most patients begin seeing results in about six weeks. Within three to four months most reach the full results. And with continued use, your lashes will stay long and lush.

Downsides of Lash Extensions

When presented with two options, it is common to one to choose the one that gives you instant gratification. Therefore, many consider lash extensions. But lash extensions are not as great as they might seem and have several downsides.

First, they have an initial cost up to $400 or more, depending on the type. They need to be touched up every two to three weeks. This could be about another $100 each touch-up. Lash extensions are not only a money commitment, but a time commitment as well.

Extensions require a lot of maintenance and special cleaning. Remember, lash extensions are glued to your natural lashes, and this alone puts them at risk for damage. But if you tend to rub your eyes often because of allergies or other irritations, you could damage your lashes. If you decide you are tired of your extensions, you need to have them removed by the salon to avoid damaging your lashes.

Latisse can be a much better option that will not damage your natural lashes. Call at (480) 448-0918 to book a consultation with one of our trained experts.
