Victoria Park Medispa Announces Launch of LATISSE® in Canada

Victoria Park Medispa prides itself on its leadership in delivering proven, safe, medical esthetic solutions to its clients. We are therefore pleased to announce the introduction of LATISSE® in Canada, the first and only Health Canada-approved prescription treatment for eyelashes which grows them longer, fuller and darker.

LATISSE® grows lashes longer, fuller and darker. LATISSE® solution is a once-a-day treatment applied topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, as instructed by your doctor. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks. It's your own eyelashes - only better.

LATISSE® is available by prescription only. Call Victoria Park Medispa today at 514.488.7722 for a complementary consultation to see if LATISSE® is right for you. Initial quantities may be limited at time of introduction. Receive a complementary lip plumper with first purchase (while quantities last).

About Allergan and the Story Behind the Discovery of LATISSE®

Allergan, a leader and pioneer in eye care, dermatology and medical aesthetics, has introduced the world to a range of products, including LATISSE®, the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker. But its origin wasn't completely new.

Back in 2001, Allergan developed a medicated eye drop used to treat ocular hypertension. In addition to successfully lowering eye pressure (the only treatable risk factor for glaucoma), many patients using this medication experienced an interesting side effect - they began to grow longer, fuller and darker lashes.

This led Allergan to begin its study of this medication's active ingredient, bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%, for the sole purpose of generating lash growth. After conducting a clinical trial on safety and efficacy for 4 months on 278 patients, LATISSE® earned its FDA approval in December 2008. Since then, Allergan has sold approximately 1.5 million bottles of LATISSE® solution. LATISSE® earned its Health Canada approval in May 2010.
