How Treatment Works

1. Consultation & Assessment

Your practitioner assesses:

• Degree of skin laxity
• Skin thickness
• Treatment areas
• Whether ultrasound or surgery is more suitable
• Combination treatment needs

Ocean Clinic notes ultrasound imaging can be used to visualise tissues and customise protocols.

2. Treatment Session

A handheld device delivers focused ultrasound pulses at selected depths.

• Non-invasive treatment
• No incisions
• No general anaesthetic
• Usually one treatment session

3. Results Timeline

• Early tightening may occur soon after treatment
• Main collagen-building improvements develop gradually
• Best results often seen over 2–6 months
• Maintenance may be considered after 1–1.5 years

Most patients return to normal activity immediately.

Typical Recovery Timeline

• Same day: Resume normal activities
• 1–3 days: Mild tenderness or swelling possible
• 2–6 months: Ongoing collagen improvement

Ocean Clinic notes there is generally no specific aftercare beyond hydration and skincare support.

Aftercare Tips
