Hypotrichosis (Hypotrichosis
(hypo- + tricho- + -osis) is a condition of abnormal hair patterns -
predominantly loss or reduction. It occurs, most frequently, by the growth of
vellus hair in areas of the body that normally produce terminal hair.) is the scientific term used for describing
very inadequate or thin eyelashes. When applied perfectly and for enough time
you can get your desired eyelashes. Here we have compiled a description to make
it easier for the user to understand the best ways to use the drug so as to get
completely satisfactory results.
Follow the steps given below:
- Step-1. Before application
Before applying bimatoprost on your
eyelashes, make sure that your face is clean of dirt and any makeup. Contact
lenses should also be removed before application of the drug, and any other
facial care product should also be removed.
- Step-2. Preparation to apply
Take the applicator, and hold the
sterile applicator in your hands, place the single drop of bimatoprost
ophthalmic on the sterile applicator. Do not touch the bottle nozzle with the
applicator brush.
- Step-3. Apply
Immediately take the applicator near
the eyelid with your eye closed. Apply the product on your upper eyelid base
skin (the place where eyelashes meet the skin). Draw the line going from the
innermost eyelashes to the outer part of eyes. Never apply the eye product on
your lower lash line or inside your eyes. It is because the hair growth may
occur in the unwanted regions also.
- Step-4. Blot the excess
An excess amount of any solution
that drips or remains on the eyelids should be carefully bloated away with the
help of tissue.
- Step-5. Dispose of the applicator
It is best to use a sterile
applicator each time you use the product on your eye. Repeat the complete
process again for the other eye with preferably a new applicator brush. Using a
new and sterile applicator will ensure to minimize the potential contamination
if any.
The application regimen(a regulated course):
If you want to find good results
while using the product, then you should be patient enough and should have the
regularity in the application also. Apply the product daily at night before
going to sleep. To avoid forgetting the application of the product keeps it
near your skin care essentials. Bimatoprost
ophthalmic solution might take a month to start showing the actual
results. Apply continuously for 3-5 months daily and then when you get the
desired length of eyelashes then stop the application and reduce it to 2-3
times in a week. So, it is very necessary that you avoid missing the
application until you find the lashes of desired length and thickness. In case
you forget to apply a scheduled dose, then do not apply the double dose of the
product next day.
