Latisse Drive: Kathy Ireland, Chelsie Hightower, Bobbie Thomas
IRVINE, Calif., June 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Allergan, Inc. (NYSE: AGN), the makers of LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03%, announced today the launch of the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge campaign. Inspired by the tradition of blowing on an eyelash to make wishes come true, lifestyle designer Kathy Ireland, professional ballroom dancer Chelsie Hightower and style guide Bobbie Thomas will each lead teams of LATISSE® users from across the country who are challenged to raise more than a quarter of a million dollars for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. LATISSE® solution is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to grow lashes longer, fuller and darker for those with inadequate or not enough lashes (eyelash hypotrichosis).
For more information about Latisse at Derma Health Institute, go to:
http://www.dermahealthinstitute.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=217
To raise the most funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, each team will call upon consumers to participate in the online campaign by joining their team and donating a minimum of $20. In exchange, the first 10,000 campaign participants who make the minimum donation of $20 will receive a LATISSE® free trial certificate, which they can then take to a doctor to determine if LATISSE® is right for them.
“With approximately 1.5 million bottles sold since launching the product a little more than a year ago, LATISSE® is giving back by helping the Make-A-Wish Foundation grant the wishes of children. Through the campaign, we will double each individual’s donation, with a maximum donation of $250,000, through October 31,” said Robert Grant, President of Allergan Medical, a division of Allergan, Inc. “With the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge campaign, we look forward to continuing our support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and providing people with the opportunity to see if LATISSE® is right for them.”
Those interested in supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation and learning more about LATISSE® can participate in the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge by joining a team at www.LatisseWishesChallenge.com. There, site visitors and LATISSE® users can also upload their personal LATISSE® lash photos documenting their own results before and after treatment.
“Our family has been connected to a family through the Make-A-Wish Foundation for 16 years, and we’ve seen how this organization changes people’s lives,” said Ireland. “That’s why it’s exciting to join Chelsie and Bobbie in the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge campaign. Together with your help, we hope to raise the most money possible.”
In addition to supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Ireland, Hightower and Thomas are excited to share their experience growing their lashes longer, fuller and darker with LATISSE® solution over the course of the campaign.
“After a whole season competing on the dance floor and spending hours in the makeup chair, my lashes are weak and broken,” said Hightower. “After talking to my doctor, I’m excited to be using LATISSE® and sharing my experience while helping to fulfill the wishes of children nationwide through the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge.”
Supporters of the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge can track how much money is being raised by each of the teams and learn more about the wishes granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation by visiting the website. In addition, participants can follow along with LATISSE® users Ireland, Hightower and Thomas and their teams as they share their personal lash experience and results with LATISSE®. Campaign supporters can also stay connected to the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge teams on Twitter @WishesChallenge as well as share their involvement in the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge through Facebook to help generate more support for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
“What’s wonderful about the LATISSE® Wishes Challenge is that you can give back, while also giving something to yourself,” said Thomas. “Join my team to receive a LATISSE® free trial certificate and help us meet the goal of raising more than a quarter of a million dollars for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.”

About LATISSE®
LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes longer, fuller and darker. Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes. The once-daily prescription treatment is applied to the base of the upper eyelashes with a sterile single-use-per-eye disposable applicator. While individual results may vary, LATISSE® users may begin to notice longer lashes at about one month and experience full results in four months. To maintain effect, continued treatment with LATISSE® solution is required, and if use of LATISSE® is discontinued, eyelashes will gradually return to where they were prior to treatment over a period of several weeks to months (average eyelash hair cycle).
Similar to Allergan’s other medical aesthetic offerings, the benefits of LATISSE® are derived from scientific evidence, its quality formulation, and medical origin. LATISSE® was clinically tested in a pivotal Phase III, multi-center, double-masked, placebo-controlled study to assess its safety and efficacy in which all endpoints (improved eyelash prominence, length, thickness and darkness) were met. Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in LATISSE®, was first approved in 2001 as a medical product to lower intraocular pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Patients treated with bimatoprost for this specific eye condition experienced eyelash growth as a side effect. Given the existing and substantial clinical and post-marketing safety data with bimatoprost solution 0.03%, coupled with the positive results from the Phase III LATISSE® study, LATISSE® was approved by the FDA in December of 2008.

Latisse Eyelash Grower Makes 2010 Edison Best New Product List
Discovery Channel and The Edison Best New Product Awards announced a joint partnership to honor excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design and innovation.
"For almost a quarter century, Discovery Channel has celebrated the extraordinary in the everyday. The network illuminates global wonders and asks timeless questions about the world around us.

Grow Your Eyelashes With a Prescription Medication
The desire to have long and full eyelashes is a prevalent female beauty need. Many solutions to eyelash enhancement are available including mascara and eyelash extensions. Recent research has looked at making your own eyelashes grow using topical drugs. One such recent topical product used spironolactone (an old high blood pressure medication), which was very effective, but has been pulled from the market due to company proprietary conflicts.
For more information about Latisse at Derma Health Institute, go to:
http://www.dermahealthinstitute.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=217
The eyelash hair growth product to enter the market is Latisse. This is actually a glaucoma drug that was discovered to coincidentally make such patient's eyelashes grow. Similar in some ways to Rogaine which was a high blood pressure medication that had the side effect of scalp hair growth. Latisse, chemically known as a 0.03% bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or insufficient eyelashes. This topical agent makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient, bimatoprost. Although it is not known why it actually works, research suggests that it stimulates the growth of eyelashes by keeping them longer in their actibe growth phase, known as anagen. Remember, hairs go through growth and rest phases which differ for hair on various parts of the body. Eyelash hair, for example, grows a lot less than scalp hair because it has a much shorter and infrequent growth phase. This drug prolongs the eyelash hair growth phase. Knowing that this is how it works should also tell some important issues about it. (see below)
Latisse is a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes. Eyelash growth won't happen overnight. It takes time and regular applications. Clinical studies show that you will begin seeing results around 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks. Once you begin treatment, you must keep using it each night. Results appear gradually. Once you have full results in 4 months or so, you must continue using it to maintain. If you stop, your eyelashes will eventually return to where you started. This is exactly similar to the scalp treatment of Rogaine. If you remove the stimulus, you will remove the results. In some patients, itchy eyes and eye redness may occur. This may go away as you get used to the product. Be sure that you are applying it properly. (see below)
Incorporate Latisse into your nightly routine after you've washed your face and brushed your teeth. Only use it once a night, and don't overuse it, as this may increase the chance of experiencing eye redness or itchiness. If you miss a dose one night, don't apply more to try and catch up. If your eye makeup remover leaves an oily residue on your eyelids, wipe off any excess oils with soap and water to ensure a clean surface before you apply it. Always use the sterile, disposable FDA-approved applicator provided in the kit. Don't try to apply it with a cotton swab. The applicator is specially designed to hold a drop and release a drop and to ensure as well as ensure safety. Don't let the tip of the bottle or applicator contact your fingers or any other dirty surface to avoid contamination and risk eye irritation or infection.
Latisse brings another valuable resource to eyelash enhancement and beauty. It will not, however, create the same effect as eyelash extensions. It will thicken your eyelashes and may add up to 4mm of length. (which is a lot for an eyelash) But it will be your own eyelashes and avoids the maintenance issues associated with other eyelash products.

Maybe She's Born With It - Or Maybe It's Latisse
Ever found yourself wishing you had longer, fuller eyelashes? Lashes that were dark and luxurious, and powerful enough to make people gaze into your eyes, instead of just look at them? If you're answer is yes, then you're not alone. In fact, you've got more than 6,000 years' worth of company. The obsession with eyelashes dates all the way back to the ancient Egyptians of 4000 BC. These fashion-forward predecessors created a powdery mix of soot and metal called "kohl" that they used on their eyes, lashes and eyebrows to give them more definition. And though we're no longer smearing soot and metal shards on our eyes, cosmetic eyelash enhancement hasn't progressed much in 6,000 years. Mascara? It's a temporary fix at best, and tends to clump and run even when it promises not to. False lashes? Also a temporary solution. But what if there were a way to go beyond temporary painting and gluing, and truly transform your lashes - permanently? That way has just arrived. And if you're reading this, you're one of the first people in the world to know about it.

It's called Latisse, and it's a cutting-edge treatment that's been proven to actually grow your eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker than they've ever been. No glue, no fake extensions, no illusions. Just your own, real eyelashes - only better.
I know what you're thinking. This sounds like every infomercial you've seen when you can't sleep and you've got the TV on at 2:00 in the morning. About a pill that makes you lose 50 lbs. in two weeks. Or a serum that turns rolls of fat into rippling muscles - no exercise required! And you're right to be wary, there are a lot of false claims out there. But did you ever notice the fine print at the tail end of those commercials? Way down at the bottom of the screen, in ultra-light, teeny-tiny print - messages that read, "Results not clinically proven," or "These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA."
That's what makes Latisse different. Latisse is the first FDA-approved treatment for growing longer, fuller, darker lashes. Most people who have used Latisse noticed a visible difference in their lashes in the first four to six weeks, and continued to watch their lashes grow to their full potential in sixteen weeks. Latisse is a story best told by the people who've tried it, and rave about its effects. But there's another version of the Latisse success story, too - and it's told by numbers. 78% of Latisse patients experienced an improvement in overall eyelash prominence after 16 weeks. Their lashes were 25% longer, 106% fuller and 18% darker.
So how does Latisse actually work? It's believed to affect the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle - actually increasing the length of the growth phase - which gives an increased number of eyelash hairs the opportunity to grow. Just as incredible as the results is how easy Latisse is to use. Put a tiny amount of Latisse solution on a sterile applicator and apply it to the base of your upper eyelashes once a night - just like applying eyeliner. And if you happen to get a little bit in your eye, don't worry. Latisse hasn't been determined to cause harm to your eyes, so there's no need to rinse it out. It is important to make sure that you keep the applicator sterile, the same as you do for your mascara, and don't touch it with your fingers or lay it on non-sterile surfaces. And speaking of mascara, yes you can wear it if you're using Latisse. It's a great way to get the most out of your Latisse-enhanced lashes.
A couple things to keep in mind: If for some reason you forget to apply Latisse one day, don't try to play catch up by applying it twice the next day. Instead just apply it normally - using Latisse more than once a day simply won't increase the growth of your eyelashes any more than daily use. Make sure you ask your doctor for all the safety information when you go in to talk about Latisse. Only 4% of participants in the clinical trials reported itchy or red eyes, and the safety and effectiveness of Latisse is backed by the FDA.
You are now in the know about one of the newest, most cutting-edge cosmetic treatments there is. Ask your doctor about Latisse, and get ready for lashes that are truly stunning - because they're your own.

Latisse FDA Approved Prescription Eyelash Enhancer
Derma Health Institute of Arizona has added a new treatment service for growing longer, fuller, darker lashes. It’s not an illusion. It’s your own lashes — only better. 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. In the clinical study, 78% saw significant increases in all of the following three measurements at week 16: length, fullness and darkness.
What to Expect
Great eyelashes don’t just happen overnight. That’s why it’s important to note that LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% works gradually and remarkably — starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks. Once you begin treatment, you could start to see results in as little as 4 weeks, but you must continue applying the topical treatment each night and follow the directions for best results. Remember results are gradual over time.Your eyelashes will experience real measurable growth.
LATISSE™ works from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you’ll begin to see changes in length, thickness and darkness gradually. After week 16, you’ll see the full effect of LATISSE™ — and so will others.
