Latisse

[Anonymous]

Actress Claire Danes is a celebrity spokesperson for 'Latisse', an eyelash growth treatment from the makers of Botox, and also a regular user, but she may have suffered one of the product's side effects.

An anonymous source has been quoted in New York Post's 'Page Six' that Danes' makeup artist has to plaster on concealer to cover the bruise-like purplish and yellowish skin discoloration that the actress' use of lash-growth drug has left around her eyes.

Cited as a possible side effect, skin darkening joins redness, itchiness and alternate hair growth as unwanted consequences that may occur with use of the serum.

The Botox reps that are calling on Plastics/Spa's are saying that only brown eyes will change and get brown spots but that blue/green eyes won't- what gives?? Poor product performance and an opportunity to get a few more scripts???

Then the rep isn't very smart and apparently neither are you. "Only brown eyes will change and get brown spots.."

Brown spots?

Here is a somewhat scientific answer to this discussion....Prostaglandin analogs like bimatoprost (Latisse) increase melanin production in the melanocytes within the iris stroma (colored part of the eye). Years of research and clinical use of prostaglandin analogs show that brown eyes will get darker, hazel eyes (green/brown or blue/brown mix) will get more brown. Homogeneous blue eyes or green eyes have virtually 0% chance of increased darkening. Also, prostaglandin analogs do not affect iris freckles or nevi....those "brown spots" in some people's eyes will not change.
