What Happens if You Stop Using Latisse?
After stopping LATISSE, it is expected that your eyelashes will return to their previous appearance in weeks to
months.
Eyelid darkening, if experienced, is also expected to return to its previous state in this timeframe.
Darkening or change in pigmentation of the iris is not expected to resolve and likely will result in a permanent
change.
