People who suffer from drooping eyelids know how emotionally and physically distressing they can be. They can make people feel older than they are or negatively impact their ability to see. Fortunately, there are now solutions available to treat this condition. Upneeq is a cutting-edge topical approach that accomplishes rejuvenation of the upper face region.
What is Upneeq?
Non-invasive and FDA-approved, Upneeq is a treatment designed to address eyelid ptosis. Instead of utilizing surgery or dermal fillers, Upneeq uses a simple eyedrop prescription to treat eyelid drooping. This method is able to restore a more aesthetically-pleasing smile and upper facial appearance and doesn’t come with any of the risks or recovery time of blepharoplasty. Some studies have shown that patients notice more youthfulness in their face in just minutes to hours after the eyelid drops are applied.
What are the benefits of Upneeq?
- A safe, FDA-approved, non-surgical procedure
- Lifts drooping eyelids
- Revitalizes the face, making it look more youthful and enticing
- Improves vision by addressing drooping eyelids
- Eliminates signs of aging
- The results are noticeable almost immediately
- There is no downtime or discomfort
How to prepare for the procedure
As with any procedure, the first step is for the patient to have a consultation with an experienced practitioner to discuss the treatment and ensure that their desired outcomes are attained. This is the best way to prepare for Upneeq. It is important to make sure that the liquid is clear before being used. Patients who wear contacts should remove them before applying Upneeq. They can be put back in after 15 minutes have elapsed.
How are the Upneeq eyedrops applied?
Applying Upneeq is similar to the application of standard eye drops. The patient will have to lean their head back and make sure to keep their eyes open. The eyedropper should be held directly above the eye before releasing the drop (just one at a time). The patient can then close their eyes and give the Upneeq formula time to be absorbed. Patients should wait at least one minute before blinking or touching their eye area. It is also vital to make sure that the vial never makes contact with the eyes, as this can cause contamination.
When do results show up?
Patients usually see a change in a matter of minutes to hours.
Is There Any Downtime?
Upneeq requires no recovery time. After applying the eye drops, patients should wait at least 15 minutes before driving or operating dangerous equipment.
