Generic Latisse® for Fuller Eyebrows & Lashes

Bimatoprost (generic Latisse®) is a prescription medication that helps patients address eyelash and eyebrow thinning. By using this medication regularly, patients should see thicker, darker, and longer lashes and brows.

Regular, repeated application of this medication promotes eyelash and eyebrow growth. The medication works to create more lash and brow hair follicles during the hair-growing cycle for thicker and longer hair. It also increases melanin production to make hair darker.

At Nurx, we offer generic Latisse® as a clinically-proven eyelash and eyebrow growth treatment at an affordable out-of-pocket price. Just answer some questions and after reviewing your medical history, a provider will prescribe generic Latisse®, if medically appropriate. We’ll then deliver a 3-month supply straight to your door.

Bimatoprost (generic Latisse®) is available for $159 for a 3-month supply. That’s about $2 per day for thicker, fuller eyelashes and eyebrows.

Bimatoprost (generic Latisse®) is not covered by insurance.

Apply generic Latisse® once nightly when your face is clean and makeup and contact lenses are removed. Use the disposable sterile applicators within the medication’s package and apply evenly along the skin of the upper eyelid lash line (at the base of the eyelashes). Any excess solution runoff outside the upper eyelid margin should be blotted with a tissue or other absorbent cloth. Do not be apply to the lower eyelid. Use a new applicator for each eye and dispose of it after use.

Apply one drop daily evenly along the eyebrow using one of the applicators provided for each eyebrow. Before doing so, ensure your face is clean and makeup and contact lenses are removed. Any excess solution runoff outside the upper eyelid margin should be blotted with a tissue or other absorbent cloth. Use a new applicator for each eyebrow and dispose of it after use.

It is important to dispose of the applicator after each use. Do not reuse applicators and do not use any other brush/applicator to apply the solution. Additional applications of the solution will not increase the growth. If you stop your treatment, lashes and brows are expected to return to their pre-treatment level.

• If you have eyelid eczema, you may experience some worsening of symptoms.
• There is a possibility of eyelid or eyebrow skin darkening, which is usually reversible when treatment is stopped.
• There is a potential for discoloration of soft contact lenses, which can be avoided if you remove contact lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes after application to reinsert them.
• Conjunctival hyperemia (prominent blood vessels in your eyes), blepharitis (eyelid infection), itching sensations in the eyes and/or eye redness may be side effects.
• Increased iris pigmentation (brown darkening of the colored part of the eye), which may be permanent, has occurred when bimatoprost was administered directly into the eye. Therefore, it is important to apply as directed (i.e. with the applicator at the base of the eyelids and NOT directly into the eye) so less medication makes its way into your eye.
• Be careful not to repeatedly touch areas of skin outside of the treatment areas, as this may cause hair growth in those areas. Blotting away any excess liquid with a clean tissue should help prevent this from occurring.
• There is a rare chance of periorbital fat atrophy (deepening of the eyelid sulcus resulting in a hollowing-out appearance of the eyelids) that may be permanent. Patients should discontinue use if they start to see this effect.

Yes, generally bimatoprost (generic Latisse®) may be used with other medications, including those for other skin concerns such as acne, anti-aging, or rosacea treatments. It is important to report all medications — prescription and over-the-counter — as part of your consultation so that your medical provider can offer more personalized information and answers to any questions you may have.

One clinical study showed that this medication improved eyebrow fullness as early as one month after starting treatment.* Generally, for both eyebrow and eyelashes, it can take 2-3 months to begin to see improvement and up to 4 months to see full results.
