One session lasts one to two years. Firmness around the eye rises over two to six months and is clearest at around six, because collagen takes time to build up while the heated areas heal. Since it holds for a long time, it is often planned as roughly once a year.

Eye Thermage uses RF to warm the whole eye area, addressing fine lines and firmness. Eye Ulthera uses ultrasound to stimulate a deeper layer in dots, lifting sagging from below. If a heavy, hooded eyelid is the main concern, Ulthera fits; for fine lines and texture, Thermage.

A protective eye shield is used and a dedicated eye tip runs at reduced power. The contact area is smaller and the intensity adjusted to suit thin eyelid skin, so following the set procedure keeps it safe. It feels hot during the session and brief swelling is possible, usually settling in a day or two.
