Prescription Lash Growth Treatments for Eyelash Growth

For many years, people seeking longer or fuller eyelashes relied on cosmetic options such as mascara, eyelash extensions, synthetic lash applications, or lash-perming treatments. Today, there are also prescription lash-growth treatments available in Canada, which may be considered under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. These medical treatments are designed to support the natural lash cycle and may be recommended when appropriate as part of an individualized care plan.

Lash growth treatments lengthen, darken, and create thicker eyelashes.

Prescription Lash Growth Treatments contain a solution that is dabbed along the lash line on the upper eyelids once a day. The solution must be applied with the applicators that come with the solution.

Growth Phase Of Lashes

For patients with eyelash hypotrichosis,LATISSEⓇ is believed to prolong the anagen phase (active growth phase). Exact mechanism unknown.

Approved Use

Prescription lash growth treatments are prostaglandin analogs, indicated to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes by increasing their growth, including length, thickness, and darkness. If discontinued, lashes gradually return to previous appearance.

Warning

Prescription lash-growth treatments must only be used under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. These medications can cause side effects, and concurrent use with other eye products or treatments may increase the risk of irritation or adverse reactions.

Seek medical attention and inform your healthcare provider immediately if you experience:

Eye redness or discomfort

Changes in vision

Eyelid irritation or darkening

Unusual eye symptoms or allergic reactions

Use these treatments exactly as directed. Do not apply them more frequently than prescribed, do not share your applicator, and avoid getting the product into the eye unless instructed by your provider.

Adverse Reactions

The most commonly reported adverse reactions (approximately 3–4%) include eye itching, redness, conjunctival hyperemia, and skin hyperpigmentation near the application area.

Prescription lash-growth treatments may cause increased brown pigmentation of the iris (the colored part of the eye). This change is generally expected to be permanent.

Darkening of the eyelid skin may occur and, in some cases, may be reversible. Application should be limited to the upper lash line only unless otherwise instructed by a healthcare professional.

Unwanted hair growth may occur on areas of skin where the product is repeatedly applied or comes into contact.

Dosage and Administration

Prescription lash-growth treatments must be used exactly as directed by a licensed healthcare professional. Your provider will explain how to apply the medication safely, including where to place the product, how often to use it, and how to avoid accidental contact with unintended areas of skin or the eye.

Only use the applicators provided with the medication and follow your provider’s instructions regarding single-use hygiene, disposal, and proper technique.
