If your eyes look tired or your eyelids seem to droop, you may be experiencing acquired ptosis, a condition that affects adults as they age. Upneeq® is the only FDA-approved prescription eye drop designed to lift the upper eyelids temporarily, giving your eyes a brighter, more open look without surgery.
Our team prescribes Upneeq as a quick, noninvasive solution to help you feel more refreshed and confident.
Upneeq is a once-daily prescription eye drop that works by stimulating the Müller's muscle in the eyelid. This muscle contracts in response to the active ingredient, oxymetazoline hydrochloride, which leads to a visible lift of the upper eyelid by 1–2 millimeters. For patients with mild to moderate ptosis, that small lift can create a dramatic difference in both appearance and function.
Unlike cosmetic creams or serums, Upneeq acts directly on the eyelid muscle, making it a medical treatment rather than just a cosmetic solution. It was approved by the FDA in 2020 and has since helped thousands of patients achieve a more awake, refreshed look without the risks or downtime of surgery.
Upneeq may be a great option if you:
Upneeq isn't right for everyone. Patients with certain eye conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or vascular disease may need additional clearance before use. Our team will review your medical history to make sure this prescription is safe for you.
Using Upneeq is simple and fits easily into your daily routine. You apply one drop to each affected eye once per day, usually in the morning. Because it's applied topically to the eye, there's no discomfort during use. Unlike surgery, there's no recovery period, and you can resume normal activities right away.
There is no downtime after treatment, but results are temporary and depend on daily use. When taken as prescribed, most patients experience consistent eyelid elevation throughout the day. Side effects are uncommon but may include mild eye irritation, dryness, or headache — these are typically short-lived and resolve on their own. With regular use, Upneeq can be a game-changer for patients who want to look refreshed, appear more alert, and in some cases, see more clearly.
