UPNEEQ® in Reno and Carson City, NV
Regardless of your age, low-lying upper eyelids (blepharoptosis) can cause you to look older, more tired, and more frustrated than you are. Not only can this issue affect your physical appearance, but low-lying lids can obstruct your vision and cause you to feel self-conscious about your condition. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can address blepharoptosis; however, it is a surgical procedure that requires downtime. The good news is that UPNEEQ® is a non-surgical alternative to eyelid lift surgery.
UPNEEQ®
UPNEEQ® is the first and only eye drop that is FDA-approved to lift the upper eyelids and help you achieve a more natural facial appearance that you can feel comfortable with. And what’s even better is that you can use UPNEEQ® from the comfort of your home.
What Is UPNEEQ®?
UPNEEQ® is an oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution that stimulates the levator and Muller’s muscles in the upper eyelid, causing the muscles to contract. This process lifts the upper eyelids to give you a more youthful appearance to your entire face.
What Are the Benefits of UPNEEQ®?
Lifted Eyelids
As we age, the levator muscle and/or Muller’s muscle in the upper eyelid can weaken, causing the upper eyelid to sag. This droopy eyelid can make you look more worn down than you would like and obstruct your field of vision. The UPNEEQ® eye drop solution stimulates these muscles, resulting in a tighter and more lifted appearance to the upper eyelids.
Improved Appearance of the Eye
In addition to lifting the upper eyelid, UPNEEQ® has been proven to reduce redness and lubricate the eyes to help create a brighter appearance. This can help you look less tired and more aware. Some patients also suffer from asymmetrical upper lids, which can be corrected with UPNEEQ®.
Improved Confidence
Whether from low-lying lids or a reddened or dull appearance, cosmetic concerns with the eyelids and eyes can negatively affect your facial aesthetic and cause you to feel self-conscious about your appearance. After addressing these concerns with UPNEEQ®, you can look forward to feeling confident with a more youthful facial appearance.
How Is UPNEEQ® Used?
Consultation
At your consultation, you can discuss your aesthetic frustrations, and your provider will evaluate your condition to determine if UPNEEQ® is the right treatment option for you. You will also be able to ask any questions about the treatment.
Treatment
UPNEEQ® is a prescription eye drop treatment that should be used once per day. For this treatment, apply one drop of the UPNEEQ® solution to each eye. The UPNEEQ® treatment is packaged in single-use containers to ensure the safest results possible.
It is important that you do not irritate the eyes for at least fifteen minutes after applying the solution (this includes rubbing the eyes and putting in contact lenses).

What Can I Expect During My UPNEEQ® Recovery?
Along with an improved appearance to your eyelids and eyes, there is no recovery or downtime associated with UPNEEQ®. This means you can get on with your normal, daily activities without delay.
When Will I See My UPNEEQ® Results?
After applying UPNEEQ®, you can expect to have lifted upper eyelids and clearer and brighter eyes.
It can take anywhere from five to 15 minutes for the solution to activate and the results to become visible. Additionally, results generally last at least six hours, with some patients achieving improvement to their upper eyelids for eight to 10 hours.
