What happens if I stop using Lash growth serum?
Short answer
After you stop Lash growth serum, your lashes are expected to gradually return toward their appearance before treatment over several weeks to months. Results vary. Ask your prescribing physician about stopping, especially if you have eye symptoms. Some side effects, such as darker iris color, may not go away.
Bimatoprost does not create a permanent change in lash growth. After you stop, your lashes are expected to gradually return toward their length, thickness, and darkness before treatment over several weeks to months. Results vary. Continued use is usually needed to maintain treatment-related lash changes.
Talk with your prescribing physician if you want to stop because of cost, irritation, or concerns about long-term use. Do not make up a reduced schedule or use occasional extra doses without guidance. Your physician can explain whether stopping or another approach makes sense for you.
If you have eye pain, vision changes, marked swelling, or signs of infection, stop using the serum and get prompt medical advice. Do not wait for a routine follow-up when new eye symptoms occur.
Not every side effect will fade after stopping. In particular, darker iris color may be permanent. If you also use prescribed drops for glaucoma or high eye pressure, do not stop those medicines without your eye specialist's advice.
