How does Mylash’s clinically proven Growth Treatment work?

Let’s get into the technicalities!

The Mylash Growth Treatment works because it contains an active ingredient, bimatoprost. Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analogue, a synthetic version of a class of naturally occurring molecules. Prostaglandins are a bit like hormones – a signal that your body uses to regulate processes like hair growth.

Your lashes grow in a cycle with three phases:

• Anagen (active growth phase)
• Catagen (transition phase)
• Telogen (resting phase)

The bimatoprost in the Growth Treatment mimics the body’s natural signals, extending the anagen phase of the lash’s growth. As a result, your eyelashes grow for a longer period of time, resulting in thicker, stronger, and longer lashes.

Do eyelash “growth” serums work the same way?

The Growth Treatment is not the same as an eyelash serum. Most serums are designed to condition and nourish your lashes, but they don’t contain an active growth ingredient like bimatoprost, so they can’t actually grow your lashes.

Some serums, however, include untested synthetic prostaglandins like:

• Isopropyl cloprostenate
• Dechloro dihydroxy difluoro ethylcloprostenolamide
• Isopropyl phenyl hydroxypentane
• Dihydroxy cyclopentyl heptane

Unlike the 0.03% bimatoprost solution in Mylash Growth Treatment, these molecules have not been clinically tested for safety and efficacy. The only testing processes required for a cosmetic product are stability testing and microbial testing. These can therefore be sold without the regulations usually applied to active ingredients (i.e. drugs) and therefore without the supervision of a doctor.

At Mylash, we strongly recommend against using compounds which have not been through the same rigorous clinical testing as Mylash Growth Treatment near your eyes.
