FAT LOSS & SUNKEN EYES FROM LASH SERUMS 🤔 Dermatologist

[@LadyCatherine538]

My glaucoma has worsened so these drops were added two months ago. While I was warned about these side effects I decided maintaining my eyesight was worth the risk. My baby blues may alter in pigment but seeing the world clearly is a gift.

[@milagrosdejesus1871]

Hope you feel better.

[@jessabeauty917]

The Latisse site says blue eyes have an absence of pigment so will not darken. Green, hazel and brown eyes can though.

[@Deranged316]

My dad has been on these drops for years due to glaucoma, haven’t noticed a difference in eye colour (his are blue), his eyes do appear a bit more sunken, but could also just be normal aging.

[@belovedobserver]

I took care of a woman who was on latranoprost for many years. Her blue eyes were stunning, and her lashes too! I’m nervous bc I have high pressure, and family history of glaucoma. I feel like if I need the eye drops my hazel eyes will turn brown. However, as you said, my sight is worth it without a doubt!

[@sandramendoza6297]

I also have glaucoma- diagnosed at 50 (I’m 59 now) and am on 3 different drops. I have very sunken eyes and discolored eyelids and very red eyes but like you maintaining my vision takes priority over this cosmetic issue.

This happened to me about 15 years ago with Latisse. I did not know it was a side effect, but I remember glancing at myself in a workplace mirror and being horrified. I had dark undereye circles and tremendous hollowness, like death approaching. The difference was striking and I just knew it was the lash serum. I stopped that week and never tried it again. It reversed thankfully, I'll keep my more-plump eye sockets over lush lashes..

After 2 years of using Latisse, I developed yellow-is discoloration on my eyelids at the level my lashes touched my lids. It’s been 5 years & they haven’t gone away.

[@kellyholtman8403]

I was losing eyelashes on one eye only. The eye doctor told me it was a result of getting older and offered no remedy. The dermatologist put me on Latisse and the condition continued to get worse. But it baffled me that it was only on one eye - so I doubted it was age or nutrition or lifestyle. I did a lot of research and discovered that we all have mites on our skin and eyelashes. They eat the dead skin cells. And they LOVE to eat eyelashes which are pure protein. If the mites reproduce too rapidly they can easily overtake the renewing of your lashes. The remedy? Neem oil. ($10 a bottle on one of the popluar retailers). You can't kill the mites, but you can inhibit their reproduction and eventualy they are gone. I put a small amount of neem oil on the lashes each night (too much stings!) and within 5 months not only had my lashes all grown back but they are LONG and beautiful! So long in fact I occasionally have to cut them with tiny scissors like cutting my hair.

[@ShannonJAnderson22]

I know this comment is from months ago, but I have a question if you see this! I started using Neem oil on my face for acne spot treatment (-it works wonders.) Using it on your lashes, did you ever have problems with millia (little white bumps) or eye congestion or styes?

[@elettramia6380]

@@ShannonJAnderson22I’ve been using tea tree oils mixed into my face wash, most of the hygiene products to help reduce the mites have the active ingredient tea tree oil, oddly enough I have one eye that grows less eyelashes on the bottom and feels like they’re sticking together to my top eyelashes a lot, which apparently can be related to the mites

[@hellocococakes]

I don't believe the risk is low at all. Happened to me -- the change is subtle over time, so it can go unnoticed for a while. Everyone I've seen who uses lash serum with prostaglandins has it from what I've noticed (unless they just started). Some don't believe it, but it's obvious. Be careful! I say avoid it.

[@KathrynLaPointe-i8b]

What side effect(s) are you referring to?

[@nicolesweere4182]

I've been using Latisse on and off for 15 years. I have olive green eyes with yellow rods. I used to love how it would make my lower lashes darker but it stopped doing that a long time ago. No side effects, no problems. I love it. Keep in mind that she did say that the side effects are rare.

[@dianejones2775]

About 30 years ago, I went on a no fat diet and a couple of months of being on that diet, I lost a lot of my lashes. I’ll never try that again.

[@elleo3441]

Guys when they say fat loss can happen, they are not kidding! I’m heartbroken and freaking out right now. Let me tell you I’ve only been using grandelash for two weeks, and already I started noticing the skin around my eyes looking textured with fine lines. Its almost like it looks dry, idk def a texture when I’m comparing there wasn’t any two weeks ago. I can feel the orbital bone under and on the sides, wasn’t like this before. It’s noticeable, like my face feels weird, different. Not just touching, when I’m just sitting here typing. I’m freaking out bc I’m 34 but I’ve always passed for much younger. Im proud that women in my family typically look a decade younger- so im really scared now. Please ladies- really consider the risks aren’t just risks! They happen. I knew my dark Asian eyes wouldn’t get any darker, and was ok with eyelid lash line getting darker, but this thinning skin and fat loss- I’m not okay. I wish I had listen to my gut a couple days ago when I started notice the texture- blaming maybe allergie or lack of sleep smh. I’m happy I’ve realized versus the full 3-4 months they say to use it for. I’m just praying that I can regain what I’ve lost. Please please learn from my experience!! 😢

It's one thing this menopause business can't rob me of. The side effects are worth it for the confidence boost.

[@hellocococakes]

It's the very last thing I do before going to sleep, I use it very sparingly on the top of my eyelashes making sure it doesn't run into my eyes, and then I close my eyes and go to sleep. I am sincerely hoping I don't develop any adverse reaction by using it that way, as I have hooded eyes so a full set of lashes really makes a difference on me.. Personally I love it!

I do know that it causes darkening more around the eyes and I use concealer to hide that.

Maybe from fat loss. They did turn a reddish brown color, but I actually like it. Permanent eyeshadow. I will be more careful not letting it get in my eyes. Directions say only apply on top lid. I was putting it on both. Works great on eyebrows. Grew them back beautifully and darkened too.

I noticed an odd loss of fat around my eyes after a year or two of using Grande Lash but I never thought my lash serum was the issue. I remember looking in the mirror and thinking something wasn't right (more than typical aging) especially around my left eye which I sometimes only used Grande Lash because I had uneven lash growth. I also have an issue with my left eye drooping which I never had before. Fortunately that issue is intermittent but I occasionally have to use Upneeq because it bothers me. I'm not a smoker and take very good care of my skin (tretinoin, Vitamin C serums, at home Dermalux Flex MD red light therapy, botox, etc, etc) but nothing helped. No one in my family seems to have issues around their eyes like I do so it's not bad genetics. I loved how my lashes grew but when I heard about the negative side effects it all made sense.

I’ve used it for like 4 years and the only side effect I’ve seen is the dark purple line on my lash line when I used it everyday. Now I just use it every 3 days and it’s gotten better.

[@ambitiousunicorn57]

@@RachelJane101 This. Everyone has different experiences. It's like how MANY people who use Function of Beauty had their hair falling out, while others praise the heavens of them. The fact that it affected at least 25-30% of consumers is a cause for concern and education.

[@sandrar6670]

I used Latisse for ten years straight too with no side effects. But my plastic surgeon eye doctor did recommend I stop using it in 2019 because she didn’t think being on a prescription product for that long was a good idea. I occasionally use Rapidlash or Revitalash because I’m addicted to long eyelashes. But that is considered not recommended either. The good news is I still have long eyelashes and suffered no eyelash loss when I stopped Latisse. It’s been over three years now.

[@jt8142]

I would never use Latisse as I don’t want my pretty green/blue eyes to turn brown.

[@lucrecevonkasm]

Thank you Dr Dray. I have observed periorbital fat atrophy, enophthalmos and lid ptosis, on my own mother as a result of her glaucoma treatment. I have a strong suspicion this side effect will soon be monetised as fat loss treatment…? 😬😰 Take care and stay well 💙🙏🏻🕊🌞

[@teresaosborne8483]

All of those also go along with the aging eye-hard to be certain where to place responsibility.

[@vee8633]

What if you have to use these drops for your glaucoma? Do you have any advice as to what preventative measures can be made? Thx😮

[@mercedes4328]

Dr. Dray, this is off the topic but I just wanted to let you know that Timeless Skincare is having an up to 50% off, one day only sale right now!

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for the heads up!

[@ankaimen]

…I have been using Rodan & Fields without any issues for several years. My lashes look amazing BUT…I will start to look for these symptoms. The dry eyes have been there forever, so I don’t attribute it to the serums. I have seen additional hair growth in the corner of the eye…😮

[@tresjolieme81]

My bottom lids do look thinner and wrinkled after using latisse, and I only use it on the upper lid. There's definitely a darkening of my lids for the first 3 weeks.

[@maricelg777]

Happy Thursday, Dr. Dray ❤

[@DrDrayzday]

Same to you!

[@marylawman8603]

One thing I've been blessed with is naturally thick, long lashes. I've never used lash treatments or false eyelashes. Wasn't as blessed in the hair department. Ahhh well. Thanks for the information, Dr Dray. Happy Thursday! I hope you have a tranquil evening. 💜

Awww bless your sweet fur babies! They bring so much joy to our lives. It was cloudy for most of the day but the sun popped out later in the evening. We're supposed to get more rain on Saturday with temps in the low 40's. I need to get out in my yard and tidy things up a bit and get the containers ready for planting flowers. Sweet Dreams. 😴

[@FragranceEuphoria]

If this causes fat loss I want to try using it on my belly. lol jk.

[@LTWILTON]

Aside from fat loss & sunken eyes, what are the chances of developing more LASHES with the OTC products?? 🤨

[@air-conditionedgypsy8863]

I used otc lash serum years ago, worked wonders, surprisingly

Hi Dr.Dray i love your videos you are awesome! I have one question is castor oil bad for lashes ?

[@thestraightroad305]

I have been using Rapid brow since November ‘22 and my drooping eyelids have disappeared. I didn’t connect the two until now. My brows were disappearing and are now amazingly thick and dark. I do not use a lash serum.

[@nikkibreezy6058]

I use rapid lash and the brow serum

[@SilverHair73]

Happy Thursday, Doc! I use GrandeLash every other night, for about 3 years now. I'm curious to watch this one, for sure!

[@DrDrayzday]

Morning!

[@dobcsek]

I tried a lot of them and they caused me circles around my eyes. Once I stopped using them, my eyes got back to normal though.

[@DrDrayzday]

yes, it can definitely improve and go away once stopped

[@aprill9904]

I got dark hollow eyes from using organic cold pressed Castor oil & grape seed combined and within weeks I have deep sunken eyes and very dark shadow that I look like a dead corpse. It’s aged me when I used to look good and young. Now I look old and gross 😢

[@mckitty4907]

Does this reverse? Grandelash ruined my eyes, they are extremely sunken a year after stopping :( what can I do to fix this naturally?

[@anad8087]

Hello, how are you doing now regarding this appearance?

[@iavyy]

how often should i shower and with body soap? i have seborrheic dermatitis on my face, hopefully you can answr :(

[@dibasamadi257]

Doctor would you please give us some information on saggy eyelid after blepharoplasty still looks saggy .

[@marianboudreau1337]

Would you please comment on The Ordinary Lash Serum. I would love to know if it has any dangerous chemicals in it.

[@mirandaleschke]

How many years can you use Latisse before the fat loss is no longer reversible? I have been using it since ~2018 and I have a more sunken look to my eyes now. If I stop (even though it's been 5 years or so) will I see some reversal? How long does it take for things to "reverse"? I've been using it on both my brows/lashes 2-4x per week. Are the same negative effects seen only using it on brows?

[@raraavis7782]

I would love an answer to that, too. Did you do some more research elsewhere on it? I mean...if it doesn't reverse anyway....why stop? For me, the 'damage' was only very slight and I love having thick, long lashes.

[@ei42877]

Ok this is for people using this as eye drops with glaucoma. I want to know what will happen if I’m using this on my upper lash line and not getting any in my eye…

[@bethrogers9130]

The fat loss side effect is not rare, it actually happens 100% of the time, it’s just that for some it’s just so subtle they wouldn’t notice. But trust me, any serum with prostaglandins, even the synthetic ones sold over the counter, will have a fat loss effect and it’s more pronounced the more you use them. I’m actually disappointed in Dr. Dray not stressing this because again, it’s not a rare side effect and the evidence is out there that it’s not. That redness and hyperpigmentation around the lids that people are experiencing is their fat going away.

[@RoseMary-gl4ee]

Thanks Doc, great as always! Hollow eyes aaaaaaaggghhh 😩

[@madi5170]

Hi Dr. Dray! I love your videos! I was wondering if you’d ever consider looking at the ingredients of a brand called Living Libations- I’m definitely not into “clean beauty” but for when my skin feels so sensitive that even cetaphil burns, one of their products that’s semi popular (the best skin ever sea buckthorn oil) feels absolutely amazing and never breaks me out. I was just really curious on your thoughts about the brand

[@Hemmyii]

That’s funny my coworker was just raving about this oil and I’d never heard of the brand. She was bemoaning her love of expensive products and I was arguing they aren’t any better than drugstore stuff.

[@madi5170]

@@Hemmyii yea I’ve always been that way too, I prefer drugstore over more expensive brands but this product is just so amazing to me even though the ingredients aren’t like some new amazing super ingredient or anything. I will say, I think the concept of the product being both a cleanser and moisturizer is pretty cool and unique.

[@Anya-jk2dy]

Not a fan of latisse for eye lash growth. Not particularly natural-looking. Let 'em be

[@Loratube]

Glad I found your channel!

[@bbjonas4233]

Can topical minoxidil (on brows) cause this as well? Thank you

[@MsLovication]

Dr Dray, can you please do a video on how to take care of your skin after being burnt by chemical peels. My est. applied a 30% glycolic peel to my face and It burnttt my skin. I'm left with red marks especially on my cheecks. I used to have combination, acne prone skin. I'm so frustrated with what to do now. Beantwoorden

[@simoneisabelleortega645]

I used it for my eyebrows and it did work but the skin just under my eyebrows started drooping. Not worth it for me. Made me look older. Eeek!

[@martyashlock5223]

I recently started using Twenty Twenty eyebrow and eyelash growth. What are your thoughts on that?

[@alyshal417]

Happy Happy Thursday!💙💙

[@DrDrayzday]

You too!!

[@ms.rickie]

My eyelid pigmentation went dark brown. And I’ve never been able to lighten them back since. Is there something out there that I could lighten my brown eyelids with?
