Monroe Medspa is the first medical practice in western New York to offer Upneeq!  Now taking appointments.

 

Upneeq is the only FDA-approved prescription eyedrops for acquired ptosis (low-lying lids) that lifts your upper eyelids to open your eyes.

 

While it may sound like science fiction, the FDA-approved eye lifting drop is real: UPNEEQ® is a prescription eye drop that temporarily improves droopy eyelids, or ptosis, with a single daily dose. While you won’t get the more dramatic results you can expect from eyelid lift surgery, patients see an average of about 1 mm of lift in their upper eyelid after the first use—just enough to make a noticeable difference.

 

It has been featured in multiple popular magizine such as:  NewBeauty, Elle, RealSelf, Vogue, Allure, and Harper's Bazaar magazines.

What are droopy eyelids (blepharoptosis)?

The medical name for droopy eyelids is blepharoptosis (blepharo = eyelid, ptosis = sagging). Eyelids that droop may lead you to appear tired, and your eyes may look smaller than they normally are. It can also interfere with the function of your eyes.  

​

Droopy eyelids have numerous possible causes, including aging, genetics, eye surgery, certain underlying medical conditions, or even Botox that accidentally that travels to the eyelid muscles after injection in the forehead.

​

Droopy eyelids may be either congenital (present from birth) or acquired, which means that they develop over time (i.e. because of aging). Congenital droopy eyelids cannot be treated with Upneeq, and may require corrective surgery. Acquired blepharoptosis may be treated with Upneeq.
