Achieving Eyelid Lifts with Upneeq and Radiofrequency: Non-Surgical Solutions

Drooping eyelids, also known as ptosis, can make the eyes appear tired, aged, or less alert. While surgical eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty) have long been a go-to solution, many patients now prefer non-surgical options that offer convenience and natural-looking results with no downtime. At Eastern Virginia Eye Associates, we offer two innovative treatments: Upneeq® and radiofrequency therapy.

What Is Upneeq?

Upneeq is a prescription eye drop approved by the FDA to treat acquired ptosis in adults. With a single daily drop, Upneeq works by stimulating the Müller’s muscle (an involuntary muscle in the upper eyelid) to temporarily lift the eyelid. Most patients notice a visible difference within 15 to 30 minutes of application, with results lasting up to 8 hours.

This is an excellent option for patients who:

• Have mild to moderate eyelid drooping

• Want fast, non-invasive results

• Are looking for a temporary solution for special occasions or daily use

Upneeq is ideal for anyone seeking a boost in eye appearance and alertness without surgical intervention.

Radiofrequency for Eyelid Lifting

Radiofrequency (RF) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle heat energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. By delivering controlled energy deep into the dermis, RF helps to tighten and firm the tissue without damaging the surface of the skin. When applied around the delicate eye area, this treatment improves skin elasticity, enhances tone, and gradually lifts sagging or drooping eyelids. When applied around the eye area, RF can:

• Tighten the upper and lower eyelids

• Reduce crepiness and sagging

• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles

• Provide a subtle lifting effect over time

Radiofrequency treatments are typically performed in a series of sessions, with no needles or downtime required. As collagen continues to rebuild after treatment, patients often notice ongoing improvements in firmness and contour.

Combining Upneeq and Radiofrequency for Enhanced Results

While Upneeq offers immediate, temporary lifting of the eyelids, radiofrequency delivers long-term skin tightening and rejuvenation. By combining these two treatments, patients can achieve both instant gratification and lasting improvements in eyelid appearance. This approach is especially popular among those who are not ready for surgery or who want to enhance their results naturally over time.
