How Treatment Works

1. Consultation & Assessment

Your practitioner assesses:

• Facial movement patterns
• Muscle strength
• Existing wrinkles
• Symmetry
• Desired result (soft vs stronger effect)

Ocean Clinic emphasises customising dose and injection plan for each patient.

2. Treatment Session

Small amounts of product are injected into selected muscles using a fine needle.

• Usually quick treatment
• Minimal discomfort
• No general anaesthetic required

3. Results Timeline

• Day 1–3: treatment begins to take effect
• Day 5–14: full effect often visible
• 4–6 months: gradual wear-off expected

Ocean Clinic states maintenance is commonly around 4–6 months.

Most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Typical Recovery Timeline

• Same day: Return to work/social activities
• 24 hours: Avoid rubbing area / strenuous exercise
• 5–14 days: Full result develops

Ocean Clinic specifically advises avoiding rubbing the area or exercise for 24 hours.
