What is bimatoprost?

Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analogue. It was originally developed to treat Glaucoma, or high pressure within the eye.

The treatment was found to result in the growth of longer and thicker lashes in patients, and was soon repurposed as a prescription-strength cosmetic product.

How does it work?

Prostaglandins are a group of lipid compounds that occur naturally in your body. They serve as chemical messengers, regulating processes like the growth cycle of your hair.

When you apply one of these prostaglandins, or an analogue like bimatoprost, to the skin at the base of a hair, you activate and extend that growth cycle. This means that the hair grows longer and thicker.

The cosmetic treatment derives from a medical product, so has been clinically tested to the highest standards and proven to be both safe and effective. Bimatoprost has also been the subject of numerous studies, all demonstrating minimal side effects.

How can I grow my eyelashes with bimatoprost?

As a medical product, bimatoprost is only available under consultation with a doctor. You can, however, buy products like Mylash Growth Treatment or Latisse (the US alternative), online. Both contain the approved 0.03% solution of bimatoprost. You’ll need to fill out a short form, which a doctor will review.

The treatment comes in a small dropper bottle, with a set of precision applicators. Mylash have purposely designed their applicators to ensure you apply only the smallest amount necessary to the skin at the base of the lash. We recommend you apply the treatment once daily. You’ll see results in as little as four weeks, with full results in sixteen weeks, in line with your natural hair growth cycle.

The treatment is safe to use for most people, but we ask that you make our doctors aware of any pre-existing eye conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding on your online form. They will assess the risks of treatment for you.
