Upneeq

How does Upneeq work?

This is a cutting-edge eye drop used to make droopy eyelids look more open. Upneeq® treats acquired ptosis, which makes you look sleepy even when you’re not and can hinder vision depending on the severity. Upneeq can increase your field of vision up to 30% with a 1 to 3mm upper eye-lid lift. The drops also whiten and brighten the whites of your eyes. Results last up to 8 hours!

Can I use it with dry eyes, eye drops, contact lenses?

Yes! Upneeq has a moisturizing component similar to artificial tears. If using eye drops, separate the drops by 15 minutes before/after using Upneeq. When using contacts, Upneeq works best when applied prior to putting your contacts in, but does work even when you are wearing contact lenses.

Can I use it every day?

Yes, these drops are approved for daily use.

Xeomin

What is Xeomin?

When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in Xeomin®– acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, Xeomin® can temporarily reduce the lines between your eyebrows.

Is Xeomin different than Botox?

The main difference between the two is that Xeomin uses the purest form, lacking some proteins that Botox contains.

How many units will I need?

We customize our dosing during our initial consultation with each patient. If you have had Botox before, the unit dosing is typically similar.
