What Is Upneeq?
Upneeq is a daily eye-drop application that encourages an uplifted look for droopy eyes. It is a prescription eye drop that temporarily improves droopy eyelids or ptosis with a single daily dose. Upneeq lasts for at least 6 hours, and patients see an average of about 1mm of lift in their upper eyelid after the first use of using the eye drops. The results are noticeably different!
What Can It Help With?
Upneeq can help patients who have acquired ptosis and Botox-induced ptosis (low-laying eyelids). Botox-induced ptosis is when migration happens after Botox is injected into the patientβs forehead area, which results in relaxed muscles causing a low-laying eye appearance.
How Does It Work?
Upneeq is an eye drop that can be used once daily with one drop per eye. This product contains oxymetazoline, an alpha-adrenergic agonist that triggers the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, causing the muscle to contract and raise the upper eyelid. Upneeq works by stimulating an involuntary eyelid muscle to contract, giving an instant lift.
Is Upneeq Safe?
Upneeq is FDA-approved and both safe and effective. Upneeq has had two successful 6-week trials with 304 patients with blepharoptosis. A third study was conducted to ensure the eye drops were safe.
