Achieve Thicker, Longer Lashes With LATISSE

Transform your eyelashes and enhance your natural beauty with LATISSE. This innovative treatment allows you to grow your own longer, thicker, and darker lashes with ease.

Before

If you’re considering LATISSE, I’ll take the time to carefully explain all aspects of treatment and what you can expect. I’ll perform a focused physical evaluation and take a health history, ensuring that you’re a good candidate for treatment. If you decide that LATISSE makes sense for you, I’ll demonstrate proper application technique.

During

Patients are pleased to discover just how easy treatment with LATISSE can be.

  • You apply LATISSE each night, after you have cleansed your face. If you wear contact lenses, be sure to remove them prior to application of LATISSE.
  • Place a single drop of the LATISSE solution onto the sterile applicator.
  • Swipe the applicator along the base of the upper eyelashes. Be sure not to get solution on the lower lids or in the eyes.
  • Remove any excess solution.

After

Results of LATISSE begin to appear after 8 weeks with maximum improvement after 16 weeks. The longer, thicker and darker lashes certainly look dramatic, but they’re still your own. You can wash your face, apply mascara, and curl your eyelashes.

With regular use of LATISSE, you can maintain your gorgeous results. If you choose to discontinue use, your lashes will gradually return to their pre-treatment appearance.

UPNEEQ: The Simple Solution for Droopy Eyelids

Revitalize your eyes and achieve a more youthful, alert appearance with UPNEEQ. This liquid eye drop treatment provides a quick and effective solution for droopy eyelids, enhancing your look with minimal effort.

What Is UPNEEQ?

UPNEEQ is a topical eye solution (eye drop) designed to address acquired blepharoptosis, commonly known as droopy eyelids, which can significantly affect your appearance and field of vision.

How Does UPNEEQ Work?

UPNEEQ contracts Muller’s muscle in the eyelid, lifting the upper eyelid and reducing droopiness. In clinical studies, it provided an average upper eyelid lift of 1 mm. This subtle yet effective lift can enhance your overall look, making your eyes appear more open and alert.

Who Is a Good Candidate for UPNEEQ?

Adults with acquired blepharoptosis (droopy eyelids not present from birth) are good candidates for UPNEEQ. However, caution is advised for those with certain conditions such as:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Orthostatic hypotension
  • Uncontrolled hypertension/hypotension
  • Cerebral/coronary insufficiency
  • Sjogren’s syndrome
  • Narrow-angle glaucoma
  • Myasthenia gravis

It’s important to discuss your medical history with your provider to ensure UPNEEQ is a safe and suitable option for you.

How Do I Use UPNEEQ?

Using UPNEEQ is quick and easy:

  • Remove contact lenses before application and reinsert them 15 minutes later.
  • Instill one drop of UPNEEQ into one or both affected eyes once daily.
  • If using other eye medications, wait at least 15 minutes between applications.

UPNEEQ typically starts working within 15-20 minutes after application, with some patients seeing effects as soon as 5-15 minutes. Clinical trials showed that most patients saw the highest lift in their eyelids about 2 hours after application.

Are There Side Effects?

The most common side effects (occurring in 1 to 5% of patients) include:

  • Eye inflammation/irritation
  • Redness
  • Dry eye
  • Blurred vision
  • Headache
  • Conjunctival hyperemia
  • Punctate keratitis
  • Eye pain

If you experience any of these side effects, contact our office immediately.
