When it comes to achieving beautiful, lush eyelashes, you have two main options: Latisse and eyelash extensions. Both can give you the look you desire, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Eyelash extensions are physical products made of silk or similar material that are applied to natural eyelashes to create a more dramatic and intense look. They are single-stranded semi-permanent false eyelashes that can be made of synthetic materials, real silk fiber, or real mink fur.
Eyelash extensions are a great way to get the full and voluminous eyelashes you desire without having to wait for results. On the other hand, Latisse is an FDA-approved eyelash growth serum that helps eyelashes grow longer, fuller and darker. The main active ingredient, bimatoprost, was originally used in prescription drugs for glaucoma, but when patients with glaucoma began to have longer, denser and denser eyelashes, the first FDA-approved treatment for eyelash growth was developed. Latisse's results may take longer to achieve than those of eyelash extensions, but they are also longer lasting.
So which is better? Ultimately, it depends on your preferences. Both Latisse and eyelash extensions can give you beautiful and sensual lashes. If you want immediate results with minimal maintenance, then eyelash extensions may be the best option for you. However, if you're looking for a more long-term solution with no need for regular upkeep, then Latisse may be the better choice.
We have patients who trust one or the other as their secret to having eyelashes that they love.
