The Power of Upneeq: Eyelift Without Surgery

Drooping eyelids, or ptosis, can make people look older than they are. The condition can be physically and emotionally distressing. Apart from affecting an individual’s appearance, the condition can make it difficult to see clearly. Many people opt to get eyelid surgery or dermal fillers to address the condition. Fortunately, there are treatment options for those who want to avoid surgery. 
 

Understanding Upneeq Treatment

Upneeq is an FDA-approved, noninvasive facial rejuvenation treatment designed to correct eyelid ptosis. It involves using eye drops to treat eyelid drooping. The prescription eye drops help create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance without the risks and side effects associated with surgery. Studies indicate that most patients are pleased with the results, as they look more youthful immediately after applying the eye drops.  
 

The Power of Upneeq 

Researchers designed the treatment to treat blepharoptosis, a condition in which the upper eyelids weaken and begin to droop. Oxymetazoline hydrochloride is the active ingredient that lifts the eyelids. 
 

The main ingredient in the treatment causes the muscle in the upper eyelid (Muller’s muscle) to contract, causing a dramatic lift. The drops can cause a lift of between one and three millimeters. Most people experience results within minutes to a few hours after applying Upneeq eye drops. 
 

Benefits of Upneeq Treatment 

Many patients are discovering the power of Upneeq. The treatment has several benefits:
 

• It helps to lift drooping eyelids. 
• It is safe, nonsurgical, and FDA-approved.
• It helps to revitalize the face, creating a more youthful appearance. 
• It helps to improve vision by correcting drooping eyelids. 
• It eliminates visible signs of aging. 
• There is no discomfort or downtime after treatment.
• It produces noticeable results almost immediately. 

Candidates for Upneeq Treatment 

Patients with drooping eyelids due to genetics or normal aging are candidates for the treatment. Adults with mild to moderate ptosis are ideal candidates. Some individuals have eyelid ptosis due to frequent contact lens use, certain health conditions, and cataract surgery. 
 

The patients can benefit from the power of Upneeq. The eye drops are a good option for patients who do not want to deal with the potential consequences of surgery. Consulting an experienced practitioner will determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment. 
 

Application of Upneeq Eye Drops 

The treatment is applied just like regular eye drops. Lean your head back and keep your eyes open during application. Hold the eyedropper directly above the eye before release. 
 

After application:

• Close your eyes briefly to give the medication time to be absorbed.
• Avoid touching the eye area and wait about one minute before blinking.
• Wait at least 15 minutes before operating machinery or driving. 

Upneeq can give you a fresh, vibrant, youthful look throughout the day. You can use it to treat one or both eyes, depending on your needs. It can help to create symmetry between the eyes. The medication is administered once a day to maintain the effect.
