How often can I reapply Upneeq eye drops for optimal results?
October 5, 2022
Asked By:
I would like to use Upneeq when I am out and about. I understand that results from this product typically last about 6-8 hours. On longer days Is it okay to reapply drops right after the 8 hour mark is over or should I consider a longer waiting period?

Answer: Yes, it is safe to re-apply drops after 8 hours, but is recommended to use a different vial if doing so
Upneeq works by stimulating a small muscle in your upper eyelid and usually provides ~ 2mm of lift. People with aponeurotic ptosis can effectively use upneeq. Depending on the degree of ptosis and how much you respond to upneeq, it may or may not be enough. Hope this helps!
Upneeq does not effect the lower lid area. If these are truely bags they are likely due to fat herniation and lower blepharoplasty is likely the ideal choice.
