Eyelash Enhancer

Discover the LUMIGAN® difference.

LUMIGAN® solution is a growth treatment for lashes. LUMIGAN® solution is a once-nightly treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes. Then, gradually, the results come in. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks. It’s not an illusion of growth. It’s real lash growth. LUMIGAN® makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, LUMIGAN® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase. LUMIGAN® was created by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with 60 years of eye care expertise. In 2001, Allergan developed a medicated eye drop to treat elevated intraocular pressure. Many patients using this medication also began to grow longer, fuller and darker lashes as a side effect. This led Allergan to study the medication's active ingredient, bimatoprost, specifically for growing lashes.

How to Apply

Step 1

Before Applying

Before applying LUMIGAN® each night, ensure your face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed, and any other facial care products have already been applied.
Step 2

Prepare the Applicator

Holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of LUMIGAN® solution on the area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip.
Step 3

Apply to Skin Using Applicator

Immediately draw the applicator carefully along the skin at the base of the upper eyelashes (where the eyelashes meet the skin) going from the inner part of your lash line to the outer part. DO NOT APPLY in your eye or to the lower lid because excess hair growth outside the treatment area may occur.
Step 4

Blot Excess

Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid with a tissue.
Step 5

Dispose of Applicator

Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for opposite eyelid, using a new sterile applicator to help minimise any potential for contamination from one eyelid to another.

Some Important Dos and Don'ts.

  • Do not apply to the lower lid or in the eye and blot excess solution with a tissue.
  • Only use sterile applicators to apply the product.
  • Don't allow the tip of the bottle or applicator to touch fingers or any other unintended surface, as contamination by common bacteria is known to cause infections.
  • Remove contact lenses prior to applying LUMIGAN®. Contact lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes afterwards.
  • Remember, if you stop using LUMIGAN®, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.

Possible Side Effects.

The most common side effect after using LUMIGAN® is an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness, which was reported in approximately 4% of clinical trial patients. LUMIGAN® solution may cause other less common side effects which typically occur close to where LUMIGAN® is applied. These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes and redness of the eyelids.

If you develop a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in vision, have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should immediately seek your doctor’s advice concerning the continued use of LUMIGAN® solution.

Special Warnings.

LUMIGAN® solution is intended for use on the skin of the upper eyelid margins at the base of the eyelashes. Refer to the illustration above in ‘How to Apply’. DO NOT APPLY to the lower lid. If you have a history of abnormal elevated intraocular pressure or glaucoma, you should only use LUMIGAN® under the close supervision of your doctor.

LUMIGAN® solution use may cause darkening of the eyelid skin which may be reversible. LUMIGAN® use may cause increased brown iris pigmentation of the coloured part of the eye which is likely to be permanent. While very infrequent, increased iris pigmentation has occurred when LUMIGAN® was administered.

It is possible for hair growth to occur in other areas of your skin that LUMIGAN® frequently touches. Any excess solution outside the upper eyelid margin should be blotted with a tissue or other absorbent material to reduce the chance of this happening. It is possible for a difference in eyelash length, thickness, fullness, pigmentation (darkness), number of eyelash hairs and/or direction of eyelash growth to occur between eyes (e.g., results may vary for each eye). These differences, should they occur, will usually go away if you stop using LUMIGAN®
