How Upneeq works

Upneeq opens eyes by targeting the muscles of the upper eyelid, and causing them to contract. This contraction moves the eyelid upward, opening the eye wider. When more of the iris and white of the eye are visible, eyes often appear bigger, with an improved field of vision.

Just one drop in each affected eye, once daily, gets visible results in as fast as 5 minutes, and can last up to 8 hours.

Is Upneeq
right for you?

Low-lying eyelids, or acquired ptosis, is when the upper eyelid starts to droop in one or both eyes. This can contribute to a tired or aged appearance, which can affect self-esteem and your ability to see.

Upneeq lifts droopy, tired-looking eyelids for more awake and open-looking eyes. Use the interactive self-assessment below to evaluate your eyelids.

Please note that this is for preliminary self-assessment only. See a healthcare provider or aesthetic
professional, so they can accurately diagnose your type of low-lying lids.
