Upneeq® prescription eyedrops.

AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center in Loudoun County, Virginia is now offering Upneeq®, an FDA-approved once-daily prescription eyedrop for acquired ptosis, or low-lying lids.

Upneeq was shown in clinical trials to lift upper eyelids and open eyes within hours after the first dose.

AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center in Loudoun County, Virginia is proud to offer a promising solution for low-lying lids with Upneeq®, a once-daily prescription eyedrop that lifts your upper eyelids to open your eyes without surgery.

Acquired ptosis, or low-lying lids, is a common condition that can affect your appearance and eyesight. It typically occurs with age and results when the muscles in the eyelid stretch and weaken, causing the lid to droop.

FDA-approved Upneeq is an ophthalmic solution containing oxymetazoline hydrochloride, an alpha-adrenergic agonist that stimulates the Muller’s muscle, an involuntary eyelid muscle, to contract. You may be an ideal candidate for Upneeq prescription eyedrops if your low-lying lids are causing the following concerns:

● Your eyesight is impaired

● You look tired all the time

● Your eyes appear asymmetrical

● You have trouble reading, driving or using your computer

● You are bothered by your appearance

What’s more, Upneeq was shown in clinical trials to lift upper eyelids and open eyes within hours after the first dose.

AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center is the premiere destination in Northern Virginia for every aesthetic need, from skin rejuvenation to anti-aging, body contouring and more.
