LATISSE™ an FDA-approved Lash Treatment

Get ready for a new innovation in lashes. LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or insufficient eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.

LATISSE™ works effectively. LATISSE™ makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is not known, research suggests that the growth of eyelashes occurs by increasing the percent of hairs in, and the duration of, the anagen (or growth) phase. Lashes can grow longer, thicker and darker because bimatoprost can also prolong this growth phase.

Clinically proven results you can see over time. LATISSE™ is easy to use, FDA approved and effective. It's a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes. Patients in a clinical trial saw results gradually over time (starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks).

It's an innovation backed by research. While LATISSE™ is a new treatment in eyelash growth, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with over 60 years of expertise in prescription eye care products. Ask one of our physicians if LATISSE™ solution is right for you or find out more at latisse.com.

CO2 Laser

Plastic Surgery Associates uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to restore wrinkled, blemished, unevenly pigmented, or sun-damaged skin using a laser light to peel away the skin's top layers.  The new cells that form during the healing process produce a smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin surface.  With facial resurfacing, a high-energy beam of CO2 light is used to vaporize lines, wrinkles, scars, dark spots and other irregularities, layer by layer.  This process also stimulates the formation over time of new, underlying collagen to provide better elasticity and support for the skin.  The CO2 laser can be used on the full face or on specific regions of the face.  Skin resurfacing, as the procedure is known, often delays the need for a comprehensive, invasive facelift. Or it can be used after a facelift or eyelid surgery to smooth any fine lines that remain. 

The doctor can tailor the skin resurfacing procedure to your individual needs:

•     Lines and wrinkles around your eyes and mouth can be smoothed.
•     Deep laugh and frown creases can be softened.
•     Some acne and surgical scars can be minimized.
