Drooping eyelids are a condition that affects many people as they age. Upneeq is a non-invasive option to lift upper eyelids and restore youthful brightness back to your eyes.
What is Upneeq?
Upneeq is an FDA-approved prescription eye drop medication that treats droopy eyelids by lifting the upper lids. It works by using a vasoconstrictor that inhibits blood flow and signals the muscles in the eyelid to constrict. Upneeq can lift the eyelids by one to three millimeters, providing a noticeable brightness and reducing the sleepy aged look droopy eyelids may bring. Upneeq also brightens the whites of the eyes. Users typically only use one drop a day and are rewarded with a refreshed look of more alert, youthful eyes.
What leads to droopy eyelids?
There are a variety of reasons a person might develop drooping eyelids, and not all are because of age. Sometimes eyelid ptosis is genetic. Health issues or surgical procedures may also leave a person with sagging eyelids. Overexposure to computer screens can cause a person to develop droopy eyelids. Eyelid ptosis may also be temporary, as a symptom of feeling tired.
