One session lasts six months to a year. The eyelids start to feel lighter from two to three weeks and the change is clearest at eight to twelve weeks, because collagen builds up while the treated spots heal. Skin around the eye is thin, so it is usually planned in stages rather than done strongly in one pass.

Eye Ulthera reaches a deeper layer, so it holds longer at twelve to eighteen months. Eye Shurink works at a shallow depth, so it is less intense and more accessible, which suits a first eye treatment or a low-commitment start. If sagging is marked, consider Eye Ulthera.

A protective shield is placed over the eye and a dedicated eye cartridge fires only at a shallow depth. The depth is fixed so that ultrasound does not reach the eyeball itself, and following the set procedure keeps it safe. Downtime is one to three days with possible brief swelling, which usually settles in a day or two.
