Lumigan eyelash growth side effect has been considered a gem dug out of the solution. It was an unexpected discovery of eyelash growth in Lumigan, for mainly this solution is made to lower down pressure in the eyes or glaucoma, yet its amazing effect on the eyelash has caught the attention of many individuals in the field of medical science, beauty and business arena.
Bimatoprost is the active ingredient which resulted to Lumigan eyelash growth effect. It is a prostaglandins analog or a synthetic chemical which is only laboratory formulated, however, it can copy or does function like how the naturally released prostaglandins in the body works. Lumigan works in glaucoma by getting rid of the blocked aqueous humor, which have clogged in the eye chambers. The clogged up aqueous humor leads to increase in eye pressure which mainly causes glaucoma. Lumigan sooths out the chambers enabling the aqueous humor to drain out through the eye chambers of the eyeballs, this occurrence reduces the increased intraocular pressure and gradually turn back to its normal pressure and the continuous use of Lumigan maintains the eye pressure.
However, as with the Lumigan eyelash growth effect, the bimatoprost in Lumigan acts to stimulate the hair follicles in the eyelids. Since the solution is applied to the eyes, it is possible that the eyelids and some part of the eyes may be also moistened by the liquid solution. So, with the main purpose of treating the increased eye pressure, so is the change in eyelash growth when under Lumigan medication.
The Lumigan eyelash growth side effect had motivated the makers of Lumigan and resulted to the birth of another ophthalmic solution, the Latisse. The advent of this ophthalmic solution which is purposely formulated for eyelash growth alone had helped many individuals who do not have glaucoma problems yet want their eyelashes to grow stronger, thicker and fuller.
Although these two ophthalmic solutions come in the form of eye drops and have the same active ingredient, the bimatoprost, the application is yet different. For Lumigan, the solution is applied directly to the eyes since it is for glaucoma and for Latisse, if possible, the solution must only be applied into the upper eyelid and not be spilled inside the eye or other areas of the eye.
With constant application of Lumigan into the eyes causes permanent change of iris color so as color pigmentation to other areas when the solution gets into it. Bimatoprost in eye drops can cause discoloration to the applied areas. That is why, it is best to try to apply Latisse only in the upper eyelid so not to develop pigmentation of skin around the eyelids.
Since Allergan, Inc. has find the solution of glaucoma and eyelash growth problems in the amazing bimatoprost compound, people are then advised to use the appropriate and best ophthalmic solution for their eye problems. For elevated intraocular pressure or glaucoma, Lumigan is right for you, for a lavish, lush and flaunting eyelash result, Latisse is the best help.
