Upneeq®: Ptosis Treatment

What is Upneeq®?

Do your eyes look “tired” and “sleepy”? Are you experiencing acquired ptosis (droopy eyelids)? Are you looking for a non-invasive and effective solution to improve your condition? Upneeq® might be the non-surgical solution you’re looking for.

Upneeq® is a prescription eye drop which treats acquired ptosis. It works by stimulating the muscles that raise the eyelids to create the look of brighter, wider eyes. Upneeq® is the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical eyelift for acquired ptosis, a condition where the upper eyelids droop due to age or other causes.

What is Acquired Ptosis?

Acquired ptosis is a condition where the upper eyelids droop which can affect one or both eyes. Acquired ptosis can affect a person’s vision, making it difficult to see clearly, and can also affect their appearance. Some people with acquired ptosis also refer to their eyes as looking “tired” or “sleepy.” This may even make them look older than they are.

What are the Causes of Acquired Ptosis?

Acquired ptosis can be caused by a variety of factors. Some common causes of acquired ptosis include:

Age-related muscle weakness
Trauma to the eye or eyelid
Neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease or myasthenia gravis
Excessive eye rubbing or eyelid pulling due to eye irritation or long-term contact lens use
Use of certain medications, such as antihistamines or antidepressants

How is a Droopy Eyelid Treated?

The treatment of a droopy eyelid, also known as low-lying lids, depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, the condition may resolve on its own. In other cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the muscles or nerves that control the eyelid. However, for those who are looking for a non-invasive eyelid lift solution, Upneeq®, ptosis eye drops, may be a viable option.
