UPNEEQ
Upneeq® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.1%) is a prescription medication indicated for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis (droopy eyelids) in adults. This non-surgical option may offer temporary upper eyelid lift by activating specific eye muscles. At Reverse Aesthetics, licensed providers can determine whether Upneeq is appropriate for your needs through an in-person consultation.
WHAT IT IS
Upneeq is a once-daily prescription eye drop for adults with acquired ptosis (low-lying upper eyelids due to age or muscle dysfunction). This medication works by stimulating Müller’s muscle, which may result in a temporary lifting effect on the upper eyelid. Upneeq does not replace surgical eyelid correction but may be a temporary, non-invasive alternative for some patients.
HOW IT WORKS
Upneeq contains oxymetazoline, an alpha-adrenergic agonist that may contract Müller’s muscle in the upper eyelid, potentially improving eyelid position and field of vision in some patients. Effects may begin within 5–15 minutes, peak around 2 hours, and may last up to 8 hours. Not all patients will experience visible changes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Upneeq comes in single-use vials and is used once daily. Clinical studies reported noticeable eyelid elevation in some users. However, individual results vary, and not all users will achieve visible or functional improvements. Side effects may include eye redness, dryness, irritation, blurred vision, or headache. Contact lens wearers must remove lenses before use and wait 15 minutes before reinserting them.
