Introduction to UpNeeq

Drooping upper eyelids can cause vision problems, depending on the severity of the condition. Surgical intervention used to be one of the few options to correct the upper eyelids, but not everyone is comfortable with the time, cost, and invasiveness of a blepharoplasty. Thankfully, a less invasive option can temporarily correct your drooping eyelids with just daily eye drops. The Kaga Academy of Aesthetics & Concierge Medicine in Red Bank, New Jersey, offers UpNeeq prescriptions to patients in Colts Neck, Little Silver, Fair Haven, Rumson, and other surrounding areas.

What is UpNeeq?

UpNeeq is a medical eyedrop often used to treat ptosis (drooping) in the upper eyelids and other conditions. The treatment stimulates the muscle in your eyelid called Mueller’s muscle, which causes it to contract and lifts the upper eyelid to reduce drooping—using only one droplet per eye daily. The active ingredient in Upneeq eye drops consists of 0.1% oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, which can be found in other medications.

Although the Upneeq eye drops only provide a temporary solution, there is no downtime, and you can stop using them whenever you’d like. Overall, applying these eyedrops can result in a lift of about 1 to 3 millimeters.

What Are the Benefits of UpNeeq?

In addition to the simplicity of UpNeeq, many of our Red Bank and Jersey area patients have seen the following benefits from their use of the eye drops:

Lifts drooping eyelids
Revitalizes the face
No downtime or discomfort

What’s the First Step?

If you are in the Red Bank area and are interested in trying UpNeeq, the first step is to have a consultation with either Dr. Kaga or one of our experienced providers. During this appointment, you will be able to discuss the treatment and how it can help you achieve a desirable outcome. If this is deemed a good treatment for you and you wish to move forward with the treatment, your custom plan will be created, and we will guide you through the steps of administering the eye drops.

What to Expect From an UpNeeq Treatment

Applying Upneeq is similar to applying over-the-counter eye drops. It is important to make sure that the liquid is clear before being used and to remove contacts. You will lean your head back and keep your eyes open, holding the eyedropper directly above the eye before releasing the drop (just one at a time). You must then keep your eyes briefly closed to absorb the Upneeq formula. You should wait at least one minute before blinking or touching their eye area. It is also vital to ensure that the vial never makes contact with the eyes, as this can cause contamination.

UpNeeq Treatment Recovery

While there is really no downtime, you can put your contacts back in after 15 minutes. You will also need to wait at least 15 minutes before driving or operating dangerous equipment. Patients can expect to see results almost immediately, however, it can take up to a few hours to reveal the full extent of the results. You can use UpNeeq indefinitely or stop anytime with no long-lasting effects.
