Upneeq: Elevating Your Gaze, Enhancing Your Confidence
Upneeq is a groundbreaking innovation offering a non-invasive solution for patients with acquired ptosis, commonly known as droopy eyelids. This medical condition, characterized by the sagging of the upper eyelids, can lead to functional impairments and aesthetic concerns, impacting both vision and self-esteem. Upneeq presents a transformative and FDA-approved option that addresses these challenges without the need for surgery.
Understanding Upneeq: A Non-Surgical Approach
Upneeq is the only FDA-approved prescription eyedrop for acquired ptosis (low-lying lids) that lifts your upper eyelids to open your eyes
Unlike traditional surgical interventions for ptosis, Upneeq utilizes a pharmacological approach that targets the muscles responsible for eyelid movement. The primary active ingredient in Upneeq is oxymetazoline hydrochloride, a compound that acts as a selective alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist. By stimulating the Müller’s muscle in the upper eyelid, Upneeq effectively lifts the eyelid to its natural position.

Vision
Drooping eyelids can significantly obstruct one’s field of vision, potentially leading to visual impairment. Upneeq’s ability to lift the eyelids can enhance both the quantity and quality of vision, allowing patients to experience the world around them with clarity.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Beyond its functional benefits, Upneeq can also boost patients’ self-esteem by restoring a more youthful and alert appearance. The visual impact of lifted eyelids can contribute to a rejuvenated facial expression.
Non-Invasive Solution
Unlike surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty, which require incisions and recovery time, Upneeq is administered as eye drops. This non-invasive approach minimizes discomfort and downtime, making it an attractive option for those who prefer to avoid surgery.

- Treatment Administration: If we determine the patient would benefit from the use of Upneeq, we’ll administer the eye drops. Patients may need to tilt their head back slightly and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket for the eye drop. The medication is then gently instilled into the eye.
- Results: Upneeq’s effects are typically noticeable within about 5 to 10 minutes after use. Patients may experience a lifting sensation in the upper eyelids, resulting in a more open and awakened appearance.
- Duration: The duration of Upneeq’s effects varies from person to person but generally lasts for several hours. Patients may require multiple doses throughout the day for sustained results.
