Engikufundile Ekuzameni i-Latisse ukukhulisa ukukhula kwe-Eyelash
-Delile
Okuhlangenwe nakho kwami noLatisse konke kwaqala ngeshwa elibi lendlu yangasese. Ngenkathi ngijahe ukuyolungela endlini yokugezela yehhotela enyinyekile ohambweni lwebhizinisi, ngashaya i-eyeliner yami ngisuka phezu kwekhawunta ngaze ngayongena endlini yangasese. Shit. Ngemva kokukhuhla kahle izandla zami, ngenza indawo yokumisa umgodi esitolo sezidakamizwa ukuze ngithole enye. Ngenkathi ngisebenzisa izinketho zami eziningi, ngibheke lokhu njengethuba elihle lokuzama umkhiqizo omusha. Ngihambise amaRandi ayi-15 ngensimbi eyinsimbi eyinsimbi eyinsimbi eyakhiwe ngethusi, ngeqa ngaya emsebenzini, ngangena endlini yangasese ngiyidonsa ngaphambi komhlangano wami wokuqala.
Njengoba ngangiphithizela kulo lonke isonto, angizange ngicabange ngokushosholoza okuncane okuza ne-liner yami entsha. Angikucabanganga kangako, okusho ukuthi, ngaze ngavuka ngemuva kwesonto ngabona isigaxa sezinkophe zami sinyamalele. Yonke ingxenye emaphakathi yezinkophe zami ezingaphezulu kwesokudla ihambile i-MIA. (Ithiphu ye-Pro: Musa i-Google "izimbangela zokulahleka kwe-eyelash okungalindelekile" ngaphandle kokuthi ufuna ukuzuma.)
Ngathumela udokotela wami nge-imeyili ngokushesha. "Ngabe impandla yowesifazane eyiphethini eyelash iyinto? Ngabe amehlo ami maduze azokuba nempandla njengoMnu. Clean?" Impendulo yakhe ye-imeyili yeza ngokushesha, futhi ngokuhleka. "Ha! Karla, phefumula kanzima. Kunamathuba amancane okuthi lokhu kungahle kuhlobene ne-endocrine, kepha ingabe usuyishintshile inqubo yakho yokwenza izimonyo muva nje? Le mpendulo ivame ukuxhunyaniswa nokungezwani komzimba nezinye izimonyo ...." Huh. Ngakho-ke lokho kwakungani ukuncinza.
Ngiphonsa i-liner yezinkinga kanye ne-mascara engangiyisebenzisa-ukuphepha-futhi ngamiswa yi-spa yami yezokwelapha yasendaweni ukuze ngibeke isitifiketi eLatisse, idokodo lami elalilincome njengesixazululo esiphephile nesisheshayo sokukhula kwe-eyelash. (Okuhlobene: Ingabe Izandiso ze-Eyelash Ziyokwenza Imivimbo Yakho Yangempela Iwele?)
Isebenza kanjani i-Latisse
Okokuqala kwamukelwa ngoDisemba 2008, "iLatisse ithengiswa kuphela ngomuthi kadokotela ngoba ngumuthi weqiniso onomthelela ekukhuleni kwezinkophe zakho ngokusho kocwaningo," kusho uNancy Swartz, MD, udokotela ohlinzayo weplastiki nowezimonyo kuDkt. Cohen kanye noSwartz Cosmetic Surgeons endaweni yasePhiladelphia.
ILatisse, eyaziwa ngokwesayensi njenge-bimatoprost 0.03%, ekuqaleni yayisetshenziswa njengokwelashwa kwe-glaucoma. Odokotela bamehlo beziguli ezisebenzisa iLatisse baqaphela ukuthi ama-eyelashes abo abukeka kabi kakhulu futhi, ngakho-ke i-U.S. Food and Drug Administration yenze isivivinyo ngabahlanganyeli abacishe babe ngu-300 ukubona ukuthi ingathengiswa yini ukusiza ukuqinisa, ukukhulisa, nokubuyisela izinkophe. Ubude be-Eyelash bukhuliswe cishe ngamaphesenti angama-25 (uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti ama-2 kulabo abathola ukwelashwa kwe-placebo) futhi ubukhulu bunyuke ngamaphesenti angama-106 (kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti ayi-12 kubasebenzi abangenaLatisse). Kusukela lapho, ucwaningo luye lwafakazela ukuthi iLatisse iyasebenza ekulekeleleni ukukhula kwamashiya, futhi. Ngenxa yalokho, kubikwe ukuthi iphakethe elilodwa le-Latisse lithengiswa njalo ngemizuzwana engama-30.
Kunengqondo, uma kubhekwa ukuthi abesifazane bagcizelela kangakanani imivimbo yabo, kusho u-Ivy Boyd, umculi wezimonyo eDes Moines, IA. “Ngithola ukuthi ikhasimende ngalinye, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi liziphaqule kangakanani noma lincane kangakanani, lisabonakala ligqoka imascara futhi liyangikhalela ngokuthi lifisa sengathi ngabe linemivimbo emide,” usho kanje. Kubantu baseMelika abachitha imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama- $ 1.1 unyaka nonyaka ku-mascara kuphela-kungasaphathwa iqiniso lokuthi izandiso zokuqhuma sezijwayelekile njenge-wax yebikini yabesifazane abaningi kule minyaka embalwa edlule.
Ngemva kokuzwa ukuthi uDkt. Swartz ngokwakhe uyafunga futhi wasebenzisa umkhiqizo, ngazizwa ngiphephile futhi ngitshala imali kuwo. Ukuthi kuzofaneleka yini intengo ka-$180 yebhodlela lamamililitha angu-5...TBD.
Okuhlangenwe nakho kwami neLatisse
Ngithathe ibhodlela ngaya nalo ekhaya, ngageza ubuso bami, ngavula umfakisicelo (lokhu kufana ne-Q-tip enebhulashi elincanyana ngakolunye uhlangothi), ngafaka nethonsi esivalweni sami esingenhla kwesokudla, ngokwemiyalo yephakheji. Ngangiphindaphinda leli qhinga njalo ebusuku ngemva kokugeza kwami nangaphambi kokulala, futhi ngangimane ngikhanyise ngokulangazela ukukhanya kwendlu yangasese ngakusasa, ngilindele amahlumela okuqhuma. Amasonto amabili? Lutho. Amaviki amane? Nada.
Ngabe bengimosha isikhathi nemali yami? Hhayi-ke, mhlawumbe. "Ngizibonele ngawami ukwenyuka kuyo yomibili imivimbo nemishanguzo yami ngokusebenzisa u-15 wamafutha we-organic castor kuwo ebusuku," kusho uBoyd. Uphakamisa ukuthi uzame ngaphambi kwezindlela ezingcono kakhulu, futhi uma kukhona, kuzoqinisa futhi kondle lokho onakho," uyanezela. Uphinde aphakamise ezinye izinketho ezishibhile, ezingagunyaziwe amaklayenti afunga ngazo. Ezinye izinketho zihlanganisa i-Rodan + Fields Lash. I-Boost ($150, rodanandfields.com), GrandeLashMD ($65, sephora.com), kanye ne-RevitaLash ($98, dermstore.com).
Manje ngase ngibhekene nobuso bokungalinge ngizame uwoyela we-castor kuqala (ngehora leshumi nambili ngentengo!), Kepha uSwartz wangikhuthaza ukuba nginamathele eLatisse. "Ama-eyelashes akhula kusuka kuzinwele zezinkophe zethu. Njengama-follicles asekhanda lethu, izintambo zezinwele zezinkophe zihamba ngemijikelezo yokukhula nokuphumula." Nganoma yisiphi isikhathi esisodwa, cishe amaphesenti angama-90 wezikhumba zakho eziyikhulu kuya kwezingama-200 ijwabu leso ngalinye kuchaza isigaba. "ILatisse isebenza ngokunweba isikhathi lapho i-follicle ihlala esigabeni sokukhula, ngakho-ke imivimbo ikhula yinde futhi ibe mkhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunezinhlayiya eziningi esigabeni sokukhula ngasikhathi sinye, ngakho-ke unemivimbo eminingi ekhulayo. "
Mhlawumbe ama-follicles ami ayelala nje ukupela isipelingi ngemuva kokuhlukumezeka kwe-liner? Ukuze ngithole, uchwepheshe wami wesayensi wawela phansi emgodini onogwaja wocwaningo, okwangifundisa ukuthi kungathatha amasonto angu-12 kuya kwangu-16 ukuthola imiphumela ebonakalayo. (Ngiphinde ngazithela phezu kwemiphumela engengakanani eyezwakala ethusayo, efaka ukufiphala kwamajwabu amehlo ezungeze isiza sokufaka isicelo esigcina sinyamalala-gulp, yep-futhi ezimweni ezingavamile, ukushintsha kombala wamehlo unomphela-eeks, hhayi okwamanje futhi ngethemba ukuthi ngeke kuze!).
Ngithuke kancane kodwa ngingadikibali, ngaqhubekela phambili nokusetshenziswa ebusuku. Cishe ngemva kwezinyanga ezine ngiqalile, I ekugcineni wabona okungaphezu kokuhluma kwengane. Manje, izinyanga ezinhlanu emva kwe-T Day (usuku lwendlu yangasese), imivimbo yami ibuyile futhi ingcono kunakuqala. Ngisebenzise iLatisse kuphela ngakwesokunxele sami, iso elincane elinempandla ukonga imali, futhi manje sengingabona umehluko obonakalayo phakathi kwamehlo ami womabili. Eqinisweni, izinkophe zami zangakwesokudla zinde kangangokuthi ngezinye izikhathi zinamathela ndawonye! Futhi nangaphandle kwesicelo se-mascara, abangani bebelokhu bedumisa imivimbo yami. Njengoba ngayeka ukusebenzisa iLatisse ezinsukwini eziyi-10 ezedlule, umbala wami wejwabu leso usubuyela kokujwayelekile, futhi.
Ngingabhalisa imali ngeLatisse uma ngingakwenza konke? Mhlawumbe, ngemiphumela ecishe iqinisekiswe. Kodwa mhlawumbe bengingazama inketho ye-Boyd ye-organic kuqala-ikakhulukazi uma bengifuna imivimbo emide neqinile kunezimila ezintsha.
