# Does Upneeq have any effect on eyelash growth?

Upneeq hasn't been specifically shown to promote eyelash growth. Here's the breakdown:

- **Primary Function:** Upneeq works by targeting a muscle in the eyelid to lift it, not by influencing the hair follicles responsible for eyelash growth.
- **Possible Indirect Effect:** Some people report that their eyelashes look more visible and defined after using Upneeq. This is likely due to the upper eyelid being lifted and opening the eye area more.

**If your goal is eyelash enhancement, there are other options:**

- **Latisse:** A prescriptive topical treatment that has been clinically proven to increase eyelash length, thickness, and darkness.
- **Over-the-counter Serums:** Various eyelash growth serums are available, though their effectiveness varies.
- **Eyelash Extensions:** For temporary enhancement, eyelash extensions can add length and volume.
