What is in the ultimate bundle?​
The Ultimate Bundle contains the Opti Laboratories Growth Treatment and the world-first Sun Protect Serum. The Bundle comes in a lash and brow version, depending on your growth goals.
The treatment contains a 0.3 mg/ml (0.03%) solution of bimatoprost, the exact same as Latisse. It is a clinically proven solution with a wealth of scientific research to demonstrate its efficacy. It has been approved for cosmetic use by the FDA in a trial that demonstrated daily application to result in lashes that are 25% longer, 106% thicker and 18% longer.
The treatment is available to buy online subject to doctor approval. After you place your order, you will be asked to complete an online form. The form will be reviewed by one of our team of UK-based doctors.Â
If an order can’t be approved, no payment will be taken.
The serum was designed by our own doctors to complement the treatment and to condition your lashes and brows for peak growth, health and appearance.
HOW DOES THE GROWTH TREATMENT WORK?
The Growth Treatment works because of its active ingredient, bimatoprost. Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analogue, a synthetic version of a class of naturally occurring molecules. Prostaglandins are a bit like hormones – a signal that your body uses to regulate processes like hair growth.
Your lashes grow in a cycle with three phases:
Anagen (active growth phase)
Catagen (transition phase)
Telogen (resting phase)
The bimatoprost in the Growth Treatment mimics the body’s natural signals, extending the anagen phase of the lash’s growth. As a result, your eyelashes grow for a longer period of time, resulting in thicker, stronger, and longer lashes.
How was the growth treatment created?
The growth treatment derives from a medical glaucoma eye drop, sold under the brand name “Lumigan”. Patients using Lumigan for glaucoma, found that they grew longer, thicker and darker eyelashes than usual.
This is because the bimatoprost was soaking into the hair follicles closest to where it was applied (to the eye), and caused those hairs to enter their anagen, or growth, phase. The individual hairs grew thicker and longer than normal, and the increased thickness resulted in a darker appearance to each hair.
Lumigan was soon approved for use as an eyelash growth treatment. It has FDA approval, and the FDA’s clinical trials found that the eyelashes were on average 106% thicker, 25% longer and 18% darker after consistent use. Most users see results within 4 weeks but the best results take 16 weeks to appear. This is because the growth cycle for all of your eyelashes take 16 weeks on average to go through the growth phase.
WHAT IS In OPTI LABORATORIES SUN PROTECT SERUM?​
Opti Laboratories Sun Protect Serum contains:
Benzophenone-4Â aka Sulisobenzone, a compound that reduces eyelash damage by absorbing, reflecting, and scattering UV rays.Â
Sun exposure breaks down protein in the hair, leading to breakage and shedding. Benzophenone-4 absorbs and dissipates UV rays from the sun to protect the hair from sun damage.
Caffeine, which enhances hair growth by promoting growth factors and prolonging the hair growth cycle.
Caffeine helps hair growth in two ways; it encourages the production of a growth promoting chemical called IGF-1 in the hair follicle and it lowers the production of another molecule called TGF-B which can shorten the hair growth cycle. Clinical studies show that the combined effect of caffeine promotes a longer hair cycle which leads to improved hair growth.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, a compound which works to increase the amount of keratin in the hair shaft, prolongs the growth cycle and reduces any localised inflammation of the area.
Additional studies show that Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 reduces the expression of chemicals that cause inflammation around the hair and preventing inflammation can help promote growth.
Ginseng encourages multiple growth pathways involved with the hair growth cycle and additionally prolongs the hair cycle length, promoting further hair growth.
Ginsenosides, the active compound, help growth directly in two ways. They activate growth pathways to increase the rate of growth to encourage bigger hairs. They also inhibit apoptosis, a process which signals the end of a growth cycle, and by inhibiting this a longer hair is encouraged. Ginseng also improves localised blood flow to support this increased hair growth.
Ginkgo biloba reduces inflammation around the hair follicle and is also an antioxidant. Both of these effects support and promote healthy hair growth.
Tocopheryl acetate (aka vitamin E acetate), an antioxidant that helps to mop up free radicals caused by UV light, stopping those free radicals from damaging the proteins in hair.Â
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that can be caused in various ways such as UV light from the sun, pollution or inflammation. These reactive molecules can damage proteins which cause photoaging and other damage. Vitamin E acts to cancel out the effects of free radicals and other reactive molecules. Other studies suggest that vitamin E also activates pathways in the hair follicle to encourage natural hair growth.
What are the possible side effects?
It is very rare to experience side effects using the Growth Treatment and, in our experience, if they do occur it is often due to incorrect application
In clinical trials, less than 2% of users experienced irritation or redness. Our customers experience side effects more rarely still, because our application technology is more precise than what was used in the clinical trial. Rare side effects include:
- darkening (brown) pigmentation of the coloured part of the eye (the iris) which may be permanent. This is more common when used for treating glaucoma.
- eyelid skin darkening, this can sometimes be permanent.
- hair growth in other areas that bimatoprost touches and not blotted away, such as the eyelids or face.
- thinning of the skin around the eye. This is called ‘orbital atrophy’ but is more common in the treatment of glaucoma.

A testimonial from a Mylash and Opti Laboratories customer
“I’ve used MyLash (now Opti) for several years now. It has made such a difference to how I look. My eyes appear more open and brighter. I get comments about how long and lovely they look all the time.
Over the years there have been periods where I have stopped using the product for one reason or another (mostly laziness) and my lashes have reverted to the short stubby ones I was given naturally.
My advice is to continue with the product and don’t get lazy with remembering to apply it. It takes 30 seconds each day to use, it’s really easy to apply and gives phenomenal results.
It might seem quite expensive initially to buy, but a bottle lasts for ages and honestly, the results are worth it. It’s much more affordable and gives a better appearance, in my opinion, than extensions (which I tried years ago before i discovered this product).
You won’t be disappointed with the results!
