Upneeq Eye Drops
You can face life with eyes wide open! The Skin Clinic in North Scottsdale now proudly features UpNeeq, an FDA-approved treatment for low-lying eyelids. UpNeeq, produced by RVL Pharmaceuticals, is an ophthalmic solution. The eyedrops, provided in single-use vials, are a non-surgical alternative providing a visible, all-day “lift” to your lids in minutes.
Upneeq is only available by prescription. Our medspa medical providers can assess your low-lying eyelids to determine whether you may benefit from this simple, safe and effective solution.
What causes low-lying eyelids?
Low-lying eyelids make a person look sleepy even when wide awake. This happens when the muscles of the eyelid become overstretched. Acquired blepharoptosis is one of the most common causes of drooping eyelids, and Upneeq is the first FDA-approved treatment to target it.
It should be noted that there are other conditions that can cause drooping eyelids, including stroke, eye tumors, Horner syndrome, brain aneurysms, and myasthenia gravis. These are conditions our medspa professionals will ask you about at your appointment.
How does UpNeeq treat low-lying eyelids?
UpNeeq selectively targets the eye muscles causing low-lying eyelids and allows them to temporarily lift the eyelid to a more normal position.
How long does it take UpNeeq to work?
UpNeeq can start to work in as little as five minutes and lift eyelids for up to eight hours.
Is it safe for me to use UpNeeq every day?
Yes. The FDA’s approval of UpNeeq means it has been found safe and effective for treating acquired blepharoptosis. When you visit The Skin Clinic, your medspa professional can review the risks and benefits, as well as possible side effects of which you should be aware.
