Meet Upneeq

With Upneeq Jacksonville's Modern Aesthetic Centers Gate Parkway has the only FDA-approved prescription eyedrop for acquired ptosis (low-lying lids) that lifts your upper eyelids to open your eyes.

Impact of Low-Lying Lids

Low-lying lids can affect the way you look and see things.

Individual results may vary. Average upper eyelid lift with Upneeq in clinical studies was 1mm.

Why do my eyelids look low?

If your eyes look “tired” or “sleepy,” you may have a condition called acquired blepharoptosis (also known as acquired ptosis or low-lying lids).

Acquired ptosis (low-lying lids) is a common medical condition that:

• Can develop later in life
• Affects adults of all ages, but occurs more often with increased age
• Usually occurs when the muscles in the eyelid stretch and weaken, causing upper eyelid droop
• May be caused by other issues, such as cataract surgery, contact lens wear, or an underlying medical condition. It could also be a sign of a more serious medical condition.

What can Upneeq do for you?

Upneeq lifts eyelids quickly. Most patients in clinical trials had a lift in their eyelids in as little as 2 hours. In one study, some patients saw a lift in their eyelids as fast as 5 minutes after the first dose.

Upneeq significantly improves upper field of vision. In clinical trials, Upneeq helped patients with acquired ptosis see better — on the first day of treatment!

In clinical trials, Upneeq was proven to be safe and effective when used as directed.

How to apply Upneeq

Apply one drop of Jacksonville Upneeq solution in each affected eye as directed, once a day. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Upneeq.
