As women, we take pride in our appearance. That’s why trichomoniasis or
eyelash loss can cause real unhappiness to those suffering from this condition.
Can a non Rx eyelash enhancer be the answer?
Mascaras today come with many promises – some of them claiming to
lengthen, thicken and add volume to fine, sparse lashes. But what if you
genuinely suffer from thinning lashes, so much so that applying mascara is not
even possible?
In 2009, an invention was introduced to the market as a miracle cure for
those suffering from eyelash loss. Endorsed by actress Brooke Shields, Latisse
was promoted as helping eyelashes to grow thicker, longer and fuller.
A first of its kind as an eyelash enhancer, Latisse needs
to be applied to the upper lash line every morning for at least two months,
with results clearly visible after 16 weeks or four months. The formulation is
developed by using the molecule bimatoprost and, due to its qualities as a prostaglandin
hormone, it is imperative that it be administered only by a doctor. Originally
called Lumigan, this product was initially created as a treatment for glaucoma.
Unexpectedly, it also caused its patients’ lashes to grow longer.
Side effects of Latisse were reported by some users as having dry,
itchy eyes, dark eyelids as well as a browning pigmentation of the iris. These
negative effects prompted cosmetic companies to try their hand at creating a
similar product, with no doctor’s prescription necessary.
This led to the rise of the non Rx eyelash enhancer. A
number of beauty brands have since followed suit and created more affordable
products that could be used by everyone. The products have added moisturizers
and vitamins aimed at improving the health of the lashes and also creating an
ideal, optimal environment for the hair to grow.
These non-prescription products come with further peace of mind. As
they contain no parabens or hormones (compared to Latisse which does), non Rx
enhancers come packed with amino acids, polypeptides and further natural
moisturizers to strengthen and prevent breakage of the lashes.
