As they age, many people start to suffer from droopy eyelids, which are most commonly caused by a condition called acquired ptosis. Droopy eyelids can make your face look tired and your eyes appear smaller. In some cases, the condition can even hamper your vision. For anyone in search of a safe and simple way to improve their droopy eyelids, Upneeq® may be the perfect solution.
How Does Upneeq Work?
When using Upneeq, you insert one drop of the liquid into each eye every day. Upneeq’s active ingredient is a 0.1% oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, which causes the muscle in the upper eyelid to contract when inserted into the eye. That causes the eyelid to raise slightly, which allows the eye to open wider and counteracts the effects of the droopy eyelid. Upneeq is the first FDA-approved treatment for acquired ptosis.
