Are you unhappy with the appearance of your low-lying eyelids? If so, you may have acquired ptosis, which occurs when the levator muscles of the eyelids become stretched due to aging. Upneeq is a fantastic, non-surgical solution to help open your eyes for a more alert appearance.

What is Upneeq?

Upneeq is the only FDA-approved prescription eyedrop used to treat acquired ptosis, or low-lying lids. This treatment is a great solution for lifting the upper eyelids to open the eyes.

In clinical trials, most patients experienced a lift in their eyelids in as little as two hours after treatment. Patients with acquired ptosis even had some form of improvement in their field of vision, with 87.8% having some form of improvement, and 40.8% having at least 50% improvement on day 14.

Who is a Candidate for Upneeq?

Upneeq may affect blood pressure, so those with heart disease, uncontrolled high or low blood pressure, or who feel faint at rest or when quickly standing up may not be ideal candidates. Upneeq may also increase the risk of eye pressure, so those with glaucoma should seek their doctor’s advice before using this procedure. The best way to learn if this treatment is right for you is to schedule a consultation at our office.

How to Use Upneeq

Upneeq eyedrops should be used once per day. If you are wearing contacts, remove them before using eye drops. Place one drop into each eye, and then throw away the single-use container. Wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting contact lenses.

Common side effects include eye redness, eye irritation, dry eye, blurred vision, instillation site pain, and headache.

Upneeq FAQ

Upneeq (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) is an FDA-approved prescription eye drop used to treat acquired ptosis, or low-lying upper eyelids, by temporarily lifting the eyelid.

Upneeq works by stimulating a muscle in the eyelid called Müller’s muscle to contract, which raises the upper eyelid. It’s applied as a single eye drop rather than an injection or procedure.

In clinical trials, many patients saw a lift in their eyelids in as little as two hours after using the drop, though individual timing and results can vary.

Upneeq is applied once daily because its lifting effect is temporary, not permanent. Consistent daily use is needed to maintain the eyelid lift.

Upneeq is generally suited for adults with acquired ptosis, but it may affect blood pressure and eye pressure, so it isn’t recommended for everyone. Those with heart disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, or glaucoma should discuss the risks with their provider before starting treatment.

Reported side effects include eye redness, eye irritation, dry eye, blurred vision, discomfort at the application site, and headache.

Upneeq is used once per day. Remove contact lenses first, place one drop in each eye, discard the single-use container after use, and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting contacts.

Yes. Because Upneeq addresses the position of the eyelid itself, many clients pair it with neuromodulator treatments that soften brow and forehead lines, for a more complete refresh around the eyes.

It can. Since eyelid position affects overall facial appearance, some clients discuss Upneeq alongside a broader facial balancing consultation to see how the eye area fits into their overall goals.
