Prescription for Longer Lashes
from Daily Record
Move over, mascara and eyelash extensions, and prepare to meet your challenger. There's a new product in town that promises longer, lusher, darker lashes.

Meet Latisse, a prescription-only eyelash enhancer that's applied similarly to an eyeliner, except to the base of the upper eyelashes where they meet the upper lid. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December, Latisse is absorbed by the eyelash hair follicles and produces noticeable results in four to 16 weeks, said Dr. David Medford, an ophthalmologist with Affiliated Eye Surgeons of Morristown, N.J., and West Orange, N.J.

Especially in today's non-existent job market where older women, not to mention men, have to compete with someone half their age simply to hold onto their job or find a new one. But cosmetic interventions are a major expenditure, compared to say, groceries, with surgery costing from $2,500 for a cheek implant to more than twice that much for a basic face lift and injectables running upwards of $500 a pop--all rarely covered by insurance.
