A Week-by-Week Guide to Latisse® Results

Do you love the look of long, full lashes but hate dealing with mascara and extensions? Latisse® offers a clinically proven alternative.

At Lombardo Cosmetic Surgery in Palm Springs, CA, Dr. Maria Lombardo – who is board-certified in general surgery and a cosmetic surgeon specialist – provides expert advice on aesthetic treatments like Latisse. One of the questions she receives most often is, “When will I start seeing results?”

This week-by-week guide walks you through the expected timeline so you know what to anticipate.

How Latisse Works

Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) is an FDA-approved prescription treatment for eyelash growth. It extends the natural growth phase of your lashes, helping them become longer, thicker, and darker over time.

Latisse Results: A Week-by-Week Timeline

Everyone’s experience with Latisse is slightly different. However, the following schedule gives you a good idea of what to expect when you begin the process.

Week 1: Getting Started

At this point, you’ll begin applying Latisse every night before bed. You won’t see immediate changes, but consistency is key.

Some people experience mild irritation or redness. This usually subsides as your skin adjusts.

Weeks 2-3: Patience is Crucial

During this period, lash growth is happening beneath the surface, even if you don’t see visible differences yet. Some users notice their lashes appear slightly darker.

Stick to your routine. Missing applications can slow progress.

Weeks 4-5: Subtle Changes Appear

You may start seeing slightly longer lashes at the outer corners. Lashes might feel stronger and seem healthier as well.

Keep using Latisse every night to maintain progress.

Weeks 6-7: Noticeable Length & Volume

Lash length will increase, and they may appear fuller. Some users report they need less mascara to achieve a defined look.

Continued use ensures even more dramatic improvements.

Weeks 8-12: Full Results Take Shape

Lashes will be visibly longer, thicker, and darker than the start. The best outcomes are generally seen with consistent use around weeks 12 to 16.

To maintain your lashes, continue using Latisse a few times per week.
