Non-Surgical Treatment for Droopy Eyelids
Upneeq provides an easy, non-invasive solution for droopy upper eyelids, also known as acquired ptosis. Acquired ptosis often develops later in life as the eyelid muscles stretch or weaken, leading to a sagging, tired appearance. With the introduction of Upneeq eye drops, patients can now achieve a more open, refreshed look without the need for surgery. The active ingredient in Upneeq works by lifting the eyelid muscles, allowing for a subtle yet significant lift that can last throughout the day.
What is Upneeq?
Upneeq (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) is a prescription eye drop specifically designed to treat acquired ptosis, a condition characterized by droopy or sagging upper eyelids. By targeting the Müller’s muscle–a tiny muscle within the upper eyelid–Upneeq helps elevate the lid, creating a more alert and youthful appearance.
When applied, Upneeq begins to work within minutes, lifting the eyelid by 1-3 millimeters. Most patients see the full effect within 2-3 hours, and the results can last for 8+ hours. This makes Upneeq an ideal option for patients looking to refresh their appearance without the downtime or commitment of surgical procedures.
