Enhance Longer, Fuller-Looking Lashes
Top New York plastic surgeon Dr. Darrick Antell is board-certified in plastic surgery, with an emphasis on aesthetic/cosmetic surgery. One of the treatments Dr. Antell offers is LATISSE™ eyelash treatments. LATISSE™ enhances your natural eyelashes by promoting eyelash growth, resulting in longer, thicker, darker eyelashes.
LATISSE™ is an innovative new FDA-approved treatment for eyelash lengthening. Available by prescription only, LATISSE™ can help enhance patient eyelashes in three areas: length, thickness, and darkness. For patients with inadequate eyelashes (hypotrichosis), daily LATISSE™ drops can promote the growth of long, lush natural eyelashes.
The active ingredient in LATISSE™, bimatoprost, has been approved by the FDA since 2001 to treat elevated eye pressure in patients with glaucoma. Doctors noticed that those patients treated with bimatoprost grew longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes. While it’s not certain exactly how LATISSE™ promotes eyelash growth, it’s believed that the drug extends the duration of the eyelash growth cycle, as well as induces more hairs to grow longer during the cycle.
While LATISSE focuses specifically on enhancing the eyelashes, it can also complement other facial rejuvenation treatments that refresh and brighten the eye area. We may recommend combining LATISSE with treatments that address wrinkles, facial volume, or overall skin quality to create a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
Dermal fillers restore volume that naturally diminishes with age, helping soften under-eye hollows, improve facial contours, and create a more refreshed appearance. When combined with fuller, longer eyelashes achieved through LATISSE, fillers can further enhance the eyes by restoring youthful balance throughout the upper and mid-face.
BOTOX smooths dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, including crow’s feet around the eyes and forehead lines. Pairing BOTOX with LATISSE allows patients to simultaneously improve the appearance of the eyelashes while softening surrounding wrinkles, creating brighter, more rested-looking eyes without surgery.
Chemical peels improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance by removing damaged outer layers of skin. Adding chemical peels to a customized treatment plan alongside LATISSE can improve the overall appearance of the eyes and face by addressing pigmentation concerns, fine lines, and dull skin, while LATISSE strengthens and lengthens the lashes.
LATISSE is an excellent option in New York City for individuals who wish to improve the appearance of naturally sparse or thinning eyelashes. Ideal candidates for LATISSE often include those who:
LATISSE offers a simple, non-surgical way to enhance your natural eyelashes without the need for extensions or frequent maintenance appointments. By encouraging your own lashes to grow longer, thicker, and darker over time, the treatment provides subtle yet noticeable improvement that complements the eyes while maintaining a natural appearance.
Patients choose LATISSE for a variety of reasons, including its ability to:
While most people are good candidates for LATISSE™, Dr. Antell should evaluate you in New York City if you have certain conditions, such as eye infections or irritated eyelid skin. To find out if you’re a good candidate for LATISSE™, schedule an appointment with our office online.
Patients use disposable, sterile applicators to apply a drop of LATISSE™ to the base of their upper eyelashes every night before bed. While treatments are self-administered, it’s important to remember that LATISSE™ is available by prescription only through a doctor’s office. Dr. Antell will help you determine whether LATISSE™ treatments are right for you.
Your Guide to Post-LATISSE Care
One of the advantages of LATISSE is that there is virtually no recovery period. Since treatment is applied at home as part of your nightly routine, most patients can continue their normal daily activities immediately after beginning treatment. Consistency is the key to achieving the best possible outcome.
To help maximize your results, we recommend:
The cost of LATISSE in New York City depends on the prescribed treatment regimen and the amount of product needed to help you achieve and maintain your desired results. Since LATISSE is a prescription medication used at home over several months, your investment may vary based on how long treatment is continued and whether maintenance therapy is recommended. Dr. Antell or one of our providers will determine whether LATISSE is appropriate for your goals, explain what you can expect throughout treatment, and provide a detailed overview of the associated costs before you begin.
Selecting the right physician in New York City for any prescription aesthetic treatment begins with choosing someone who understands both facial aesthetics and patient safety. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Darrick Antell combines decades of experience in cosmetic medicine with a personalized approach to facial rejuvenation, helping patients choose treatments that complement their natural features rather than overwhelm them. Whether LATISSE is recommended as a standalone treatment or as part of a broader aesthetic plan, Dr. Antell takes the time to understand each patient’s goals and develop recommendations that support natural, refined results.
