Frequently Asked Questions

What is Upneeq?

Upneeq is a prescription eye drop used to treat acquired blepharoptosis (droopy eyelids) in adults. It temporarily lifts the upper eyelids, helping your eyes appear more open and refreshed.

How does Upneeq work?

Upneeq contains oxymetazoline hydrochloride, which activates muscles in the eyelid to contract and lift the upper lid within minutes of application.

How fast does it work?

Most people notice a visible eyelid lift within 5–15 minutes, with full results typically visible around 20–30 minutes after application.

How long do the results last?

Each dose of Upneeq provides results that last approximately 6–8 hours.

How do I use Upneeq?

Use one drop in each affected eye once daily. Be sure your hands are clean, tilt your head back slightly, and avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye.

Can I use Upneeq with contact lenses?

Yes but remove contact lenses before using Upneeq and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

Is Upneeq safe to use every day?

Yes. Upneeq is FDA-approved for daily use. However, follow your provider’s directions and let them know about any other eye medications or conditions you have.

Who is a good candidate for Upneeq?

Adults experiencing droopy eyelids due to age, fatigue, or muscle weakness (not congenital) can benefit from Upneeq. It’s ideal for those seeking a non-surgical lift or who aren’t ready for eyelid surgery.

Who should avoid using Upneeq?

Avoid Upneeq if you have certain cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, narrow-angle glaucoma, or allergies to its ingredients. Always discuss your medical history with your provider first.

Are there any side effects?

Possible side effects include mild eye irritation, dryness, redness, headache, or blurred vision. These are typically temporary and resolve quickly.

Will Upneeq affect my vision?

Some users experience brief blurred vision after applying drops. Wait until your vision clears before driving or operating machinery.

Can I combine Upneeq with cosmetic treatments?

Yes! Upneeq pairs beautifully with other eye-enhancing procedures like Botox\u00ae, fillers, or laser treatments to open and brighten the eyes.

How is Upneeq different from surgery?

Unlike eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), Upneeq is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and gives temporary results rather than permanent structural change.

How should I store Upneeq?

Store the single-use vials at room temperature away from direct light. Each vial is for one-time use only—discard after opening.
