With a single daily dose, patients see an average of 1mm of lift in their upper eyelid- just enough to make a noticeable difference. While it may not give the same dramatic results as surgery, it is a more affordable and less invasive option.
How does Upneeq work?
Upneeq is a once a day application per eye. The active ingredient is oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution), 0.1% which triggers the levator palpebrae muscle, also know as the Mueller’s Muscle, causing contraction and raising the upper eyelid.
