Get answers to common questions about Top Lips & Under Eyes.

Most sessions last 30–60 minutes depending on area and skin condition. The upper lip and under-eye treatments are relatively quick, though consultation determines exact timing, number of passes, and if additional zones will be treated.

We apply topical anesthetic before treatment to minimize discomfort. Patients typically report mild stinging or heat during pulses that is well tolerated. Aftercare reduces sensitivity; over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses help manage temporary soreness.

Most clients see noticeable tightening after a single session, with optimal results often achieved after 1–2 treatments spaced 8–12 weeks apart. Skin type, severity, and lifestyle affect outcomes, and your practitioner will recommend a tailored plan.

Expect 5–10 days of visible pinpoint scabbing and redness as skin heals, with most social downtime around one week. Swelling can peak in the first 48–72 hours. Follow post-care guidelines and avoid sun exposure for several weeks.

Common temporary effects include redness, swelling, scabbing, and mild sensitivity. Rare complications can include hyperpigmentation or infection if aftercare is neglected. We screen for contraindications and provide clear aftercare to minimize risks.

Ideal candidates are non-smokers in generally good health seeking non-surgical tightening of delicate skin. Patients with active skin infections, certain medical conditions, or recent isotretinoin use may be ineligible; a consultation confirms candidacy.
