Re: Eyelashes--Need Some!
OK...OK...I confess....I am a current Latisse user.
The taxotere did quite a number on all things "hairy". Patchy hair, no eyebrows and no eyelashes. After 2 years I just couldn't take it. I wanted to look more "normal"
I've been using Latisse since January and actually have some eyelashes now. They are very thin but it is an improvement over essentially nothing.
To obtain the Latisse you can go to most plastic surgeons offices, dermatologists. I didn't have to see a Dr. (hence no $150 office visit) Just to the front desk and ask to purchase the product. It is pricey..$120. But using it every day it has lasted for over 2 months.
I have noticed that on occasion my eyes appear red but honestly not certain if it is from the Latisse or the herceptin.
For now....I think I'll keep using it.
