What does Brooke Shields know?

So I have recently heard about Lumigan. This is a product that was originally used for glaucoma patients and had noticeable side effect of longer eye lashes. After FDA approval, it was repackaged for those in want (or need) of thicker and longer lashes and called it Latisse. My doctor offered to write a prescription and it would run about $30-40. Latisse runs around $150.00/month.

Before AA, I would have thought it was pure vanity. Now I know that for those affected, it is the matter of looking healthy or not. I did lose some lashes and brow, they have returned without pigment. I can easily cover the lashes with some black mascara and brow pencil and be good to go. Two months ago I would have bought the stuff. You can use it on your brows as well. I will consider getting it for my next follow-up appointment.

I would recommend giving it a try for those in need--what have you got to lose? When you stop use of the product, your eyelashes will return to normal. But it may be the quick fix until the AA is out of your system.

There are now commercials featuring Brooke Shields as the Latisse spokesperson. It would be great if it were more accessible to the Alopecian community--that's all I'm saying.
