Do you have heavy eyelids that make you look tired all the time?

Renew MedSpa is now offering UPNEEQ®, an FDA-approved a prescription eyedrop used to treat low-lying lids (acquired blepharoptosis) in adults.

Product Information

UPNEEQ® is a simple and effective way to treat low-lying eyelids and is an alternative to blepharoplasty cosmetic surgery. No surgery, no down-time – just brighter, bolder, and well-rested and fresh looking eyes. It’s like a cup of coffee for your eyes!

Have you noticed a change in the appearance of your eyes, where your eyelids are starting to droop? You may have acquired ptosis, or low-lying lids. Acquired ptosis (low-lying lids) is a common medical condition that:

  • Affects adults of all ages but occurs more often with increased age.
  • Usually occurs when the muscles in the eyelid stretch and weaken, causing the upper eyelid to droop and causing asymmetrical eyes.
  • May be caused by other issues, such as cataract surgery, contact lens wear, or an underlying medical condition. It could also be a sign of a more serious medical condition.
  • In clinical trials, Upneeq® helped patients with acquired ptosis see more—on the first day of treatment! 87% of patients had some form of improvement. 74% of patients had at least a 50% improvement on Day 14 (2 hours after applying Upneeq®).

UPNEEQ® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution), 0.1 % contains oxymetazoline hydrochloride, an alpha adrenoceptor agonist and is FDA approved for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis (low-lying eyelids) in adults. Acquired ptosis can develop later in life and usually occurs when muscles in the eyelid stretch and weaken, causing the lid to droop. Eyelid ptosis may be caused by other issues, such as cataract surgery, contact lens wear, or an underlying medical condition. Eyelid ptosis can affect eyesight by not only blocking your vision, but also by reducing field of vision

Each prescription contains 45, 0.3 mL single use applicators in individual child-resistant foil pouches.

TSA Friendly: Yes

How to use

Each vial of Upneeq contains enough solution to allow for one drop in each affected eye.

  1. Wash hands thoroughly.
  2. Open the foil packet and remove the single-use UPNEEQ® vial and shake vial.
  3. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Upneeq ® eyedrops. You may put contact lenses back in 15 minutes after applying Upneeq ®.
  4. Twist off the top of the vial.
  5. Tilt your head back and apply one drop of UPNEEQ® to each eye.
  6. Keep your head tilted back, roll your eyes around, and blink for 15-20 seconds. Doing this ensures the product has time to coat the eye and take effect. If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least 15 minutes between applications.
  7. Discard vial.
  8. Enjoy up to 8 hours of bigger, bolder, and brighter eyes.
