Upneeq®

Lift Droopy Eyelids Without Surgery

Prescription Eye Drops Available at Alpenglow Pain & Wellness

Tired-looking eyes can make you appear fatigued, older, or less alert—even when you feel your best.

At Alpenglow Pain & Wellness, we're pleased to offer Upneeq® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.1%), the first and only FDA-approved prescription eye drop for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis (low-lying eyelids) in adults.

With just one drop per day, Upneeq works by stimulating the muscle responsible for lifting the upper eyelid, creating a more open, refreshed appearance—without surgery or downtime.


What is Upneeq?

Upneeq is a once-daily prescription eye drop designed to temporarily lift the upper eyelid in adults with acquired droopy eyelids (ptosis).

Many people experience mild eyelid drooping as they age, making their eyes appear smaller, more tired, or less vibrant. Upneeq provides a non-surgical treatment option that can visibly elevate the upper eyelid and improve the appearance of the eyes.


Benefits of Upneeq

Upneeq may help:

  • Lift droopy upper eyelids
  • Create a more open, awake appearance
  • Improve facial symmetry in some patients
  • Enhance the appearance of tired-looking eyes
  • Provide a non-surgical alternative for mild eyelid drooping
  • Complement other facial aesthetic treatments

Many patients notice results within a few hours of application, with effects lasting throughout the day.


Is Upneeq Right for You?

Upneeq may be an excellent option if you:

✔ Notice one or both eyelids drooping

✔ Feel your eyes make you appear tired or older than you feel

✔ Want a non-surgical solution

✔ Are not ready for eyelid surgery

✔ Want to enhance your overall facial appearance with minimal downtime

 


How Does Upneeq Work?

Upneeq temporarily activates the Müller muscle, a small muscle in the upper eyelid that helps lift the eyelid.

By increasing the muscle's activity, Upneeq can provide a noticeable lift of the upper eyelid, resulting in a brighter, more refreshed appearance.

The treatment is:

  • Quick and easy to apply
  • Used once daily
  • Non-invasive
  • Prescription only
  • No recovery or downtime required

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly does Upneeq work?

Many patients begin noticing eyelid elevation within approximately 2 hours after applying the eye drop, though individual responses may vary.

How long do the effects last?

The lifting effect typically lasts throughout the day with once-daily use.

Is Upneeq permanent?

No. Upneeq provides a temporary lift while the medication is active. Continued daily use is needed to maintain the effect.

Can I wear contact lenses?

Yes. Contact lenses should be removed before applying Upneeq and may generally be reinserted after waiting at least 15 minutes.

Is Upneeq safe?

Upneeq is FDA approved for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis in adults. As with any prescription medication, your provider will review your medical history and discuss potential risks, side effects, and whether it is appropriate for you.
