Tired looking? Droopy Eyelids weighing you down? In the month of September, MOBO launched its newest product Upneeq® - a non-surgical eye lift solution. Upneeq has been featured in Vogue, Allure, Bazaar, & ELLE. Upneeq® is the only FDA-approved prescription eye drop for acquired ptosis (low-lying lids) that lifts your upper eyelids to open your eyes. Upneeq® lifts your eyelids to expose more of your iris, the colored part of your eye. Upneeq® also brightens the whites of your eyes. Upneeq® comes in single dose eye dropper packages making them convenient for travel.
How do I know if I have Acquired Ptosis (low-lying lids)?
Acquired Ptosis, also known as acquired blepharoptosis, usually occurs when the muscles in the eyelid stretch and weaken, causing the upper eyelid to droop. Acquired Ptosis can affect the way you look and the way you see things. There are varying degrees of ptosis as seen in the following image.
Should I use Upneeq® every day?
You can use Upneeq® every day to lift your upper eyelids and open your eyes, however you do not have to use it every day. Some clients use Upneeq® for meetings, dates, family photos, weddings, or other special occasions. A single dose of Upneeq® lasts for up to 8 hours.
Can I use Upneeq if I wear contact lenses?
Yes, you can! We recommend you wait 15 minutes after application of the drops before putting in your contact lenses. If you are on any other eye drops, inform your provider.
How much do they cost?
We currently have a special for $199 for a box of 45 Upneeq® doses. If you’re not ready to commit to buying a full box, ask your provider for a sample dose.
