Droopy or tired-looking eyelids? One of my favorite non-surgical tricks is Upneeq! âŹď¸
It works by stimulating a tiny muscle in the eyelid called the MĂźllerâs muscle⌠and yes, every time I say it, I canât help but think of that scene from Ferris Bueller.
âBuellerâŚ? BuellerâŚ?â
âMĂźllerâŚ? MĂźllerâŚ?â đ
Jokes aside, when that muscle contracts, the upper lid lifts slightly. That means eyes can look more open, more awake, and less heavy, often within minutes, with results that last for hours.
But like anything in medicine, itâs not for everyone. Upneeq is designed for specific types of eyelid drooping (acquired ptosis), and your anatomy, medical history, and goals all play a role in whether itâs the right fit. Thatâs why a consultation is important before starting.
For the right patient, it can be a great option on its own or alongside other treatments.
