Eyelash Growth Serum in Toronto | Longer, Fuller Lashes in Weeks

If you have been relying on mascara, lash extensions, or strip lashes to achieve the look of fuller eyelashes, there is now a better option. Prescription eyelash growth serums containing bimatoprost are the only Health Canada-approved treatments clinically proven to grow your natural lashes longer, thicker, and darker.
‍
Unlike temporary cosmetic fixes that sit on top of your lashes or risk damaging them over time, this treatment works at the root. It extends the active growth phase of your natural lash cycle, so the results you see are genuinely yours.
‍
At Toronto Cosmetic Surgery Institute, our physicians will evaluate whether a prescription lash growth treatment is right for you as part of a personalized care plan. Every patient receives a thorough assessment before any treatment is prescribed.

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.

How a Prescription Lash Growth Serum Actually Works?

Your lashes go through the same growth cycle as the hair on your head, just much shorter. There are three phases: active growth (anagen), transition (catagen), and resting (telogen). The problem for people with thin or sparse lashes is that their growth phase is too short. The lash falls out before it ever reaches a noticeable length.
‍
Bimatoprost changes that. It extends the active growth phase so each lash has more time to grow before it sheds naturally. The result is lashes that are measurably longer, visibly thicker, and noticeably darker.
‍
You apply it once a night along the upper lash line with a sterile, single-use applicator. That is it. No appointments, no fills, no glue. Most of our patients start seeing a difference around week 8, with full results by week 16.
‍
One thing to know upfront: this is a maintenance treatment. If you stop using it, your lashes will gradually go back to where they were. That is not a flaw in the product. It is how the biology works. Some patients eventually reduce to a few applications per week once they have reached their desired look, but your physician will guide you on that.

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.

Side Effects and Safety Information You Should Actually Read

What most patients experience: The majority of people tolerate this treatment well. In clinical trials, side effects were reported in roughly 3 to 4% of participants.

The most common ones are mild: some itching around the eye, slight redness, or minor skin darkening near the lash line. For most patients, these are temporary and manageable.

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.

When to call us: If you notice changes in your vision, persistent eye discomfort, unusual symptoms, or any sign of an allergic reaction, contact your healthcare provider right away. Do not wait it out.

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.

Do not apply the product to the lower eyelid unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.
