Get an Eye-Opening Lift with a Daily Drop of Upneeq®
Upneeq eyedrops are a revolutionary new treatment for droopy eyelids that are backed by years of scientific research and development. The active ingredient in Upneeq, oxymetazoline, has been used in other medications for decades and is well-known for its ability to constrict blood vessels and reduce inflammation. When applied topically to the eyelids, Upneeq works by stimulating the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid, resulting in a more youthful, alert appearance.
Clinical studies have shown that Upneeq can be highly effective at improving eyelid position and symmetry, with noticeable results visible in as little as five minutes. So if you’re looking for a safe, non-invasive way to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes, Upneeq may be just what you’ve been searching for.

The Science of Upneeq®
Upneeq contains the active ingredient oxymetazoline, which is a type of medication known as a sympathomimetic. Sympathomimetics work by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating a variety of physiological processes in the body, including blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tone.
When Upneeq is applied topically to the eyelids, oxymetazoline works by constricting the blood vessels in the area. This results in a reduction in inflammation and swelling, which can cause droopy eyelids.
But that’s not all. Oxymetazoline also has a unique effect on the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelids. Specifically, it stimulates the muscle fibers of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which is the muscle that controls eyelid elevation. This stimulation causes the muscle to contract more strongly, resulting in a visible lifting of the eyelid.
The result is a more alert, youthful appearance, with a reduction in the appearance of droopiness and asymmetry in the upper eyelids. Clinical studies have shown that the effects of Upneeq can last for several hours, making it a convenient and effective way to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes without the need for surgery or other invasive procedures.
