Upneeq Eye Drops

Your eyes have a significant influence on your appearance. If your eyelids are heavy or droopy, you may be perceived as tired. You may not feel completely satisfied with your appearance. We’re happy to offer Upneeq® as a proven noninvasive treatment for droopy or heavy-looking eyes!

At Beauty Solutions, we pride ourselves on providing advanced aesthetic medicine and skincare treatments led by Launa Stone, RN. Our dedicated esthetics team is committed to helping you achieve radiant, youthful-looking skin through non-invasive and highly effective approaches.

Upneeq is an innovative prescription eye drop that can help open up your eyes to appear more energetic and youthful. This treatment is quick and effective, and it may just be the most convenient approach yet to achieving a refreshed look.

Upneeq is administered as an eye drop. The solution contains 0.1% oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution as its active ingredient. Just one drop into each eye delivers the perfect dose of oxymetazoline to cause the muscles in the upper eyelid to tighten up. The tighter muscle then causes subtle retraction of the eyelid skin. The result is a subtle lift and opening of the eyes.

Yes. Upneeq has been through necessary clinical testing and has been approved by the FDA for the correction of acquired eyelid ptosis in adults. Acquired eyelid ptosis is the weakening and loosening of the upper eyelid muscle, the levator muscle, as a result of the aging process. The active ingredient in Upneeq, oxymetazoline hydrochloride, is the active ingredient found in many decongestant sprays. In these products, it works by causing blood vessel contraction, leading to more open nasal passages.

Upneeq was originally developed to help improve mild to moderate upper eyelid drooping (ptosis), creating a more lifted, refreshed appearance. In addition to its medical use, many patients love Upneeq for its cosmetic benefits — helping the eyes appear more open, wider, brighter, and more awake. It’s a popular option before weddings, photos, special events, presentations, or anytime you want a more refreshed and youthful look without downtime.

It’s important to understand that Upneeq may not be effective for all causes of heavy or drooping eyelids. The FDA-approved treatment is not intended for congenital ptosis, and severe eyelid drooping may respond better to surgical correction of the levator muscle. Upneeq also does not correct heaviness caused by low or descending eyebrows.

At Beauty Solutions Med Spa, we perform a comprehensive evaluation of the eyelids, brows, and forehead area to determine the most appropriate treatment approach and help you achieve natural-looking results you’ll love.

One of the benefits of Upneeq is that this treatment doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes. The product comes packaged in individual, single-use vials. After opening the foil, simply apply one drop of Upneeq in each eye. This treatment is designed to be a once-a-day solution to drooping eyelids.

After you apply the Upneeq eye drops, you can expect to notice a change in the tightness and openness of your eyes within five to 15 minutes.

According to clinical studies, the muscle-tightening effects of Upneeq can last eight to 10 hours. In some cases, results can last even longer.

There are very few side effects to Upneeq. During clinical trials, side effects were limited to minor eye irritation and signs of inflammation like dry eye and redness. If you experience side effects due to Upneeq, talk to your provider about potential risks and solutions.

Taking great care of your skin and overall health can support the most graceful aging process. Still, it doesn’t stop it, and you don’t have to let tired-looking eyes stop you from feeling your best!
