Cosmetic Corner: Dermatologists Weigh in on Eyelash Enhancers

To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on the eyelash enhancers. Consideration must be given to:

• Latisse
  Allergan, Inc.
  “It’s the only eyelash-enhancing product that is FDA approved and has been proven to increase eyelash size.”—Gary Goldenberg, MD, New York, New York
  Recommended by Elizabeth K. Hale, MD, New York, New York
  “It’s an excellent treatment for stimulating the length and diameter of eyelashes (as well as eyebrows). Most patients respond well to it and side effects are minimal and rare.”—Mark G. Rubin, MD, Beverly Hills, California
  Recommended by Joel Schlessinger, MD, Omaha, Nebraska
  “My choice is definitely Latisse, but inform patients that they should not stop abruptly as this can cause acute eyelash loss.”—Antonella Tosti, MD, Miami, Florida

• RapidLash
  Rocasuba, Inc
  “This active ingredient is proving to have good clinical results at a good price point for consumers.”—Anthony M. Rossi, MD, New York, New York

• RevitaLash Advanced
  Athena Cosmetics
  “A great alternative to Latisse or one that patients can transition to once they are satisfied with the growth that Latisse has brought them or if they are allergic/sensitive to Latisse.”—Joel Schlessinger, MD, Omaha, Nebraska
