Eyelash growth serum works by extending the growth cycle of the hair meaning that the eyelash becomes longer before it is naturally shed and by increasing the number of hairs that are produced.

The serum is applied once per day, onto clean eyes using a special applicator that is discarded after use. Contact lenses need to be removed but can be put in 15 minutes after application.

Effects can start to be seen after a couple of weeks; initially the lashes get longer and then thicker and darker.  To reach this stage takes around 3 months.

This treatment is most suitable for patients who would like to lengthen and thicken their eyelashes and do not want, or cannot have eyelash extensions.

It is not suitable for pregnant or breast-feeding women or people who suffer with conjunctivitis, uveitis, severe allergies, macular oedema or have infections in the upper eyelid skin.

A consultation is required to assess suitability for this treatment as well as to go over the risks and benefits in detail.

This treatment is safe for most people except those listed above.

It is important to follow the instructions correctly and apply the serum correctly.  The disposable applicators must not be reused and any serum not used after 4 weeks should be discarded.

There is no downtime with this treatment, however it does take time for the full results to be seen.

Full instructions will be given to you as part of the consultation.
