UPNEEQ® RX Eye Drops
Lift Your Eyelids Without Surgery
Are you tired of feeling weighed down by droopy eyelids that make you constantly look tired? If so, it’s time to give your eyes a much-needed pick-me-up! Introducing UPNEEQ, the “eye-opening” solution that elevates your lids and opens a world of possibilities. Say goodbye to invasive eyelid lift procedures and hello to a nonsurgical approach that’s as simple as a drop.
What Is UPNEEQ®?
UPNEEQ is a prescription eye drop that is FDA approved to treat acquired eyelid ptosis, a condition characterized by drooping upper eyelids. Also known as acquired blepharoptosis, this condition may cause you to appear drowsy and can even block your full range of vision. With a daily drop of UPNEEQ, you can experience a refreshed, youthful eye appearance without going under the knife.
How Does UPNEEQ® Work?
Made of 0.1% oxymetazoline hydrochloride, UPNEEQ works by targeting the Müller’s muscle in the eyelid, which is responsible for lifting the eyelid. By stimulating this muscle to contract, UPNEEQ can temporarily raise the eyelid, providing a more open eyelid and alert appearance.
Who Are Good Candidates for UPNEEQ®?
UPNEEQ is a product for those who want to address eyelid ptosis (drooping eyelids) without surgery. Good candidates for UPNEEQ are individuals who:
- Have acquired ptosis that causes a noticeable droop in their upper eyelid(s)
- Have low-lying lids but not loose skin or tissue that hangs over the eyelids
- Are at least 13 years of age
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about the results
It is essential to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if UPNEEQ is right for you. To uncover the uplifting potential of UPNEEQ for your eyelids, contact the Appearance Care Center™ today!
How to Use UPNEEQ®
UPNEEQ is a prescription medication supplied in single-use vials. You can easily administer these eye drops yourself on a daily basis.
To apply UPNEEQ, start by opening the vial and preparing to place a single drop in each eye. Tilt your head back slightly and gaze upward. With one or two fingers, gently pull your lower eyelid down, creating a small pocket between your eye and eyelid. Holding the vial in your other hand, carefully dispense one drop of UPNEEQ into the space. Use caution to avoid touching the tip of the vial to your eye or any other surface.
After completing the application, discard the used container; do not attempt to re-use or save an open vial. Give your vision a few minutes to adjust before attempting to drive or operate heavy machinery.
How Soon Do You See Results From UPNEEQ®?
UPNEEQ is known for its quick and effective results. Generally, the lifting effect on the eyelids is noticeable in as little as 15 minutes after application, but in some cases, it can take up to 2 hours. Individual response times may vary, and some people might experience a gradual onset of effects.
How Long Does UPNEEQ® Last?
The effects of UPNEEQ are known to be temporary, as the medication is designed for daily use. Typically, the improvement in the appearance of droopy eyelids can last for up to six to eight hours after a single application. As the medication wears off, the eyelids gradually return to their original position.
To maintain consistent results, follow the daily application schedule recommended by your Appearance Care Center provider. By incorporating UPNEEQ into your regular routine, you can enjoy the benefits of lifted and refreshed-looking eyelids throughout the day and potentially see results for eight to 10 hours each day.

How Significant Is the Eyelid Lift Provided by UPNEEQ®?
UPNEEQ can deliver a noticeable lift to your eyelids, making your eyes appear more open and refreshed. Clinical trials demonstrated a one-millimeter lift of the eyelids in patients, which provides adequate results for eyelid rejuvenation.
The exact degree of lift will vary from person to person, as individual results depend on factors such as the severity of droopy eyelids, skin elasticity and response to the medication.
Can I Use UPNEEQ® If I Use Other Eye Drops or Medications?
Yes, you can use UPNEEQ if you also use another type of eye drops or medications. Just wait at least 15 minutes before or after using UPNEEQ to use your other eye products.
Can I Use UPNEEQ® If I Have Dry Eyes?
Many patients with dry eyes use UPNEEQ, as these drops are not contraindicated for individuals with dry eyes. Discuss any concerns or pre-existing conditions like dry eyes with your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use. They may recommend additional precautions or suggest alternative treatments based on the severity of your dry eye condition and other factors.
Can I Use UPNEEQ® With Contact Lenses?
If you wear contacts, you can still benefit from UPNEEQ. You’ll need to administer your UPNEEQ eye drops while you are not wearing your contact lenses and then wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses in.
What Are the Side Effects of UPNEEQ®?
UPNEEQ is generally well-tolerated, but, as with any medication, it has a possibility of side effects.
Some potential side effects associated with UPNEEQ include:
- Redness or irritation in the eyes
- Dryness or discomfort in the treated eye
- Headache
- Blurred vision or difficulty focusing
- Sensitivity to light
- Itching, watering or swelling of the eyes
- Mild eye pain
These UPNEEQ side effects are usually temporary and may resolve on their own. However, if you experience any persistent or severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider or the Appearance Care Center professionals for guidance.
Should I Use UPNEEQ® or Get a Surgical Eyelid Lift?
UPNEEQ is an excellent option for those with mild to moderate eyelid ptosis seeking a noninvasive solution. However, it may not be suitable for those with more significant eyelid concerns. While these eye drops can lift the eyelids and create a more open look, they cannot address loose or sagging skin, displaced fat deposits or substantial overhang of the eyelids. In such cases, a surgical eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, may be the better option.
A surgical eyelid lift removes excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids, providing a more lasting and dramatic transformation. It is a more invasive procedure, requiring a recovery period and potential downtime, but it can deliver significant improvements for those with more severe eyelid concerns.
