Do you ever feel like your eyes look tired or droopy, even after a full night’s sleep? Upneeq® might be the solution you’re looking for. This FDA-approved, non-surgical eye drop can gently lift your eyelids and give your eyes a refreshed appearance. At Effect Med Spa in St. Johns, FL, our team provides expert guidance and prescriptions for Upneeq®, helping you achieve brighter, more awake-looking eyes in just minutes.

Let’s dive into how Upneeq® can give you that awake-and-ready-for-anything look, without needles or surgery.

‍

So What is Upneeq®?

Upneeq® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.1%) is an FDA-approved prescription eye drop that temporarily lifts droopy eyelids (also known as acquired ptosis). With just a single daily dose, Upneeq® gives an average eyelid lift of 1 mm after the first use, making a noticeable difference for many patients. By lifting droopy eyelids, you are ready to see the world and let the world see you!

While it doesn’t replace eyelid lift surgery, it’s a fantastic non-invasive, non-surgical alternative that delivers results quickly and comfortably. 

How Does Upneeq® Work?

Upneeq® stimulates a muscle in the eyelid called the Müller’s muscle, causing the upper eyelid to lift gently. The results appear in as little as 15 minutes and can last up to 8 hours. This lifting effect doesn’t cause any discomfort for the user and allows them to go about their day normally.

Think of it as a daily mini-lift for your eyelids—no downtime or discomfort, just brighter, more youthful eyes.

Who Should Consider Upneeq®?

Upneeq® is perfect for those who:

• Have droopy eyelids (acquired ptosis) due to aging, eye strain, or genetics
• Want a refreshed, awake look without surgery or needles
• Need a quick boost for special events, photos, or daily confidence

If you’re tired of looking tired and not feeling like your reflection truly reflects who you are, Upneeq® can give your eyes that lifted, youthful glow.

What is Ptosis?

Ptosis (pronounced TOE-sis) refers to the drooping of one or both upper eyelids. This condition can affect people of all ages and is often caused by the gradual weakening of the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid. In some cases, ptosis may be present at birth (congenital ptosis), but it more commonly develops later in life due to factors such as:

• Aging: Natural muscle relaxation over time.
• Eye Strain: Extended screen use or frequent eye fatigue.
• Injury or Surgery: Damage to eyelid muscles or nerves.
• Medical Conditions: Issues affecting the nervous system or muscles.

Even a mild degree of ptosis can make the eyes appear tired, droopy, or asymmetrical. This can impact not only your appearance but also your confidence and, in more severe cases, your vision.

While surgical options exist to correct ptosis, non-invasive treatments like Upneeq® offer a quick and effective way to temporarily lift the eyelids. This helps many individuals achieve a brighter, more refreshed look without the need for surgery or downtime.
