Heavy or drooping eyelids (ptosis) can occur due to several factors, leading to a tired or aged appearance. Common causes include:
These issues can impact your appearance and confidence, making the eyes look more petite, less alert, or less youthful.
At Dermatique Laser and Skin, we provide several effective, non-surgical, and surgical options to lift and rejuvenate heavy or drooping eyelids:
By relaxing specific muscles around the brows, Botox® can create a subtle lift, opening up the eyes and improving the appearance of heavy lids.
A brow lift can address sagging brows contributing to drooping eyelids. This procedure lifts the brow area, creating a more open, refreshed look.
A prescription eye drop designed to lift the upper eyelids temporarily. Upneeq® works by stimulating the muscles that raise the eyelids, providing an immediate, non-invasive lift for those experiencing mild drooping.

Botox® relaxes specific muscles around the brows, allowing them to lift slightly. This opens up the eyes and reduces the appearance of drooping lids. Results typically last 3 to 4 months.
Upneeq® is a prescribed eye drop that temporarily lifts the upper eyelids by stimulating the muscles responsible for eyelid elevation. The effects last for several hours and provide an immediate, non-invasive lift.
A brow lift addresses sagging brows, which can contribute to the appearance of heavy eyelids. By lifting the brow, the eyes look more open, youthful, and refreshed.
Botox® usually results last 3 to 4 months, while Upneeq® provides a temporary lift lasting several hours per application. Depending on the method, brow lift results can last for several years.
Botox® and Upneeq® are minimally invasive and generally cause little to no discomfort. A brow lift may involve mild discomfort, but we ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure and that any pain is manageable with proper aftercare.
