Latisse has revealed the before and after photos of its latest celebrity spokesperson, actress Claire Danes. Her before and after photo gallery is now posted on latisse.com.
Following in Brooke Shields’s footsteps, she is the latest celebrity to promote Allergan’s eyelash product, which is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA to grow lashes longer, fuller and darker. Approved by the FDA in December 2008, Latisse has already sold approximately 1.5 million kits.
The gallery shows Dane’s lashes transformed over 16 weeks. Photos at week 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 illustrate how effective at growing lashes the product can be. Several angles are photographed and none of the photos were retouched, according to the website.
Danes said she tried Latisse because she was curious about the product. “The more I learned about Latisse, the more impressed I was. I’ve never used a product that actually affected real physical change,” she said.
When applied to the base of the upper eyelids, the active ingredient (bimatoprost) in Latisse maintains the growth phase of the eyelashes, producing thicker, longer, darker lashes. Available by prescription, patients usually start to see results in a few weeks. Once a patient stops using Latisse, eyelashes will return to their normal state
During research of Latisse, doctors reported on average:
- 25 percent increase in eyelash length
- 106 percent increase in eyelash fullness
- 18 percent darkening of the eyelashes

Drugs sometimes make their way to the market inadvertently, and some even become ultra popular for uses that were never intended; such is the case with Allergan’s new offering, Latisse. The hot new eyelash enhancer was born out of a group of medications called topical prostaglandins, drugs frequently used to decrease intra-ocular pressure in glaucoma patients.
The recently published April ‘09 issue of People featured “312 easy style updates” and one just happened to be Allergan’s new eyelash enhancement drug, Latisse.
