what is latisse used for? has any one heard of it? i know its for eyes but what does it do?

It is both expensive and effective.  I am a fine-haired Nordic type, and with the passage of time, my already fine lashes have become fairer and finer unto oblivion--not the greatest look.  It's like a warship that doesn't have the eyes painted on the bow:  How can the warship 'see' what to attack today?

So, yeah, I invest in this stuff.  It has returned my lashes to the thickness and body that they had when I was much younger, which is to say that with mascara, they are actually halfway visible now.  Snort.  

I have experimented a bit and discovered that if you quit the med, eyelashes will indeed return to their natural state.  However, it is possible to maintain a a great deal of the improvement with an every other day regimen, which stretches out that teensy bottle a pretty long time.

If you have lost a lot of your lashes and you'd like your eyes to be more visible without falsies and a mountain of makeup--and you are willing and able to spend a fairly large chunk of change, this stuff is a good investment.

It's your money and your choice.  Yes if you stop they go back down to previous size. It's no different than dyeing your hair blond if you are brunette. It's a lifetime commitment to hair dye to live the blond life.

It sure is!! And by the way i've also heard that if you stop using this product your eyelashes would come back down to the size they were, this worries me, i mean spend alot of money in this treatment for nothing makes no sense
