Real Women. Real Routines. Real Results.

The healthcare providers profiled below are paid consultants of RVL Pharmaceuticals.

We’re proud to spotlight three incredible women who are trailblazers, leaders, and caregivers—not only in their personal lives but in the lives of their patients. Meet Dr. Dagny Zhu, Dr. Mamina Turegano, and Lovely Laban GNP-C, MSN. These women are more than healthcare providers. They’re moms, entrepreneurs, surgeons, and trusted advisors—and they choose to include Upneeq®(oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) in both their own routines and their patient care practices. Here’s how they do it and why it matters.

Dr. Dagny Zhu

Dr. Dagny Zhu begins her days early—getting her son ready for school before heading off to perform back-to-back refractive surgeries. As part of her morning routine, she uses Upneeq, an FDA-approved prescription eye drop that lifts low-lying eyelids in just minutes. “It’s my secret weapon,” she says. “It helps me look more awake and ready to go for the day.” It’s not just part of her personal routine—it’s something she recognizes the value of for others, too. Her confidence in Upneeq extends beyond herself, making it an accessible, non-invasive option for treating low-lying leads that she trusts and understands firsthand.

Dr. Mamima Turegano

As a busy dermatologist and mom, Dr. Mamina’s mornings are fast-paced and intentional. After skincare and journaling, her day begins with Upneeq. “It’s the first thing I use in the morning because I know my eyes will look more awake and more symmetrical,” she shares. In her practice, patients often ask, “Is there a way to lift my tired-looking eyelids without surgery?”. She educates her patients about how Upneeq works, who it’s for, and what to expect. “I always make sure it’s the right fit,” she explains. “But when it is—it’s such a quick, empowering solution.”

Lovely Laban GNP-C, MSN

Lovely Laban, a licensed nurse practitioner and aesthetic medicine expert, brings both science and energy to her practice and her mornings. By 5:30 a.m., she’s already into her wellness routine, finishing with makeup and Upneeq. “My eyes instantly feel more open and refreshed,” she says. When someone walks into her practice asking about their low-lying lids, she doesn’t just talk about the product—she shows how it works in real time.

These women don’t just talk about Upneeq—they use it in their own lives. And because they’ve seen how it can help, they bring that same care and insight to the patients they support every day. Discover if Upneeq is right for you by speaking to your healthcare professional.

Low-lying lids may be related to conditions such as stroke and/or brain aneurysm, Horner syndrome, myasthenia gravis, loss of the ability to move eye muscles, eye infection and eye tumors. Tell your doctor if you have any of these conditions.
UPNEEQ is a type of medication that may affect your blood pressure. If you have heart disease, uncontrolled high or low blood pressure, or feel faint at rest or when quickly standing up, you should call your doctor if your symptoms get worse.
Patients with reduced blood flow to the brain or heart, or patients who experience eye or mouth dryness due to an immune system disorder (Sjögren’s syndrome), should use care when taking UPNEEQ. Call your doctor immediately if you feel your symptoms may be getting worse.
UPNEEQ may increase the risk of eye pressure due to fluid buildup (angle-closure glaucoma) in patients with untreated narrow-angle glaucoma. Call your doctor immediately if you feel increased pressure in your eye after using UPNEEQ.
Do not let the tip of the UPNEEQ vial touch your eye or any other surface. This can help prevent eye injury or contamination. Each UPNEEQ vial is for one-time use and should be discarded after being used.

What are the most common side effects of UPNEEQ?

The most common adverse reactions with UPNEEQ (occurring in 1-5% of patients) were eye inflammation, eye redness, dry eye, blurred vision, eye pain at time of use, eye irritation, and headache.

What should my doctor know about before prescribing me UPNEEQ?

Your doctor should review your full medical history before prescribing UPNEEQ.
UPNEEQ belongs to a class of medication (alpha-adrenergic agonists) that may affect your blood pressure. Use UPNEEQ carefully if you currently take an alpha-adrenergic agonist medication to treat heart disease or an enlarged prostate. Patients taking beta-blockers, or other medications to treat hypertension or an abnormal heartbeat, should also be careful when using UPNEEQ.
Patients who use a certain class of antidepressant medication (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) should also be careful when using UPNEEQ, as it may affect the way your body absorbs the medication.

These are not all of the possible side effects of UPNEEQ. Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or does not go away. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.
