What Is Latisse?

Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) is the first and only FDA-approved prescription product clinically proven to promote longer, fuller, and darker eyelashes. Originally discovered in the context of glaucoma treatments, this innovative solution emerged as a breakthrough for individuals seeking a low-maintenance approach to enhancing their lash line. By applying Latisse nightly along your upper lash line, you can gradually extend the natural growth phase of each eyelash. Over the course of several weeks, you'll notice subtle changes that build into remarkable improvements in lash length and density. Unlike other methods—such as extensions, false lashes, or lash lifts—Latisse works with your body's own growth cycle, delivering an authentic transformation without needing daily upkeep or salon appointments.

Benefits of Latisse Treatment

Latisse can elevate your daily routine with a host of advantages that simplify the quest for beautifully full lashes:

Longer, thicker lashes
Darker lash line
Easy, at-home application

Gradual, natural-looking results
Reduced need for mascara or extensions

Minimal disruption to your current lifestyle
Low-maintenance, convenient solution

What to Expect During Your Latisse Treatment at pēkomd

Your journey with Latisse begins with a comprehensive consultation at one of our Ohio locations—Columbus, Dayton, or Toledo—where a board-certified provider will assess your general health, discuss your aesthetic objectives, and confirm that Latisse aligns with your goals. We'll go over the application technique, potential timelines, and any specific aftercare recommendations. Once you're ready to begin, we'll provide a prescription for Latisse along with detailed instructions on how to safely incorporate it into your nightly routine.

At home, you'll typically apply Latisse once a day—right before bedtime—using the sterile applicators included with the product. The solution is gently placed along the upper lash line, allowing it to soak in and gradually promote eyelash growth while you sleep. Over the following weeks, your lashes will progress through a natural growth cycle, steadily becoming longer, thicker, and darker. Our team remains available to you throughout this process, offering tips and monitoring your progress to ensure you achieve the best possible outcomes.

Recovering After Your Latisse Treatment

One of the primary benefits of Latisse is that it integrates into your routine with virtually no downtime or disruption. Unlike more invasive procedures, there's no “recovery” in the traditional sense—just a daily application that quickly becomes part of your evening ritual.

Some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as slight redness or itching around the eyes, but these are generally temporary and subside as your body adjusts to the medication. Adhering to the prescribed application method is crucial; skipping days or using excess solution can affect the consistency and safety of your results. After several weeks, you'll begin to see your lashes gradually lengthen and fill in.

Typically, most patients notice a significant improvement by 8 to 12 weeks, though continued use is necessary to maintain your results. If you discontinue Latisse, your lashes will eventually revert to their pre-treatment state. Regular follow-up appointments at pēkomd® can help track your progress and address any concerns you might have, ensuring a smooth, rewarding experience.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for Latisse?

Latisse is well-suited for individuals who desire fuller, longer lashes without resorting to daily mascaras or frequent salon appointments for lash extensions. If you're in good health and have realistic expectations about gradual, natural-looking improvements, Latisse can be a convenient and low-maintenance solution. Although most people tolerate Latisse well, it's important to share your full medical history, especially if you have any existing eye conditions. Our board-certified providers at pēkomd® will carefully evaluate your situation during your consultation, confirming that Latisse is both safe and aligned with your beauty goals.

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure.

Latisse Frequently Asked Questions

Excited to enhance your lashes with minimal effort? Contact pēkomd® today to schedule your one-on-one consultation and begin your journey to longer, more voluminous lashes.

How soon will I see results from Latisse?

Most patients observe noticeable improvements in their lashes within 8 weeks, with full results typically visible by 12 to 16 weeks of consistent use.

Are Latisse results permanent?

Results are maintained as long as you continue using Latisse. Once you stop, your lashes will gradually return to their original length and thickness.

Can I wear mascara while using Latisse?

Yes. You can continue using makeup, but many patients find they need less mascara once Latisse begins enhancing their natural lashes.

What if I skip a night of application?

Missing an occasional application won't drastically impact results, but regular daily use is crucial for achieving and maintaining optimal lash growth.

Can Latisse be combined with lash lifts or tints?

While Latisse alone can create striking improvements, some patients pair it with other low-maintenance treatments. Discuss your options during your consultation to design a tailored plan.
