Does using Upneeq regularly deliver less noticeable results over time?

October 5, 2022
Asked By:

I am interested in using Upneeq for mild ptosis on my right side. I am hoping to use this product for a few months before moving forward with surgery. Will using Upneeq regularly reduce the effectiveness of the drops as my body starts to adjust to them? If so, are there any precautions I can take to prevent this from happening?
