Last week, I had a chance to meet up with some friends I hadn't seen in a while because I attended a high school classmate's wedding.
Maybe it was because it had been a long time since I last saw her, but I felt like I wanted to look prettier. Recently, I gained weight, my pores felt enlarged, and the wrinkles on my nasolabial folds seemed to have deepened, so I urgently looked for a way to take care of it.
I felt like it was too late to start dieting, so I kept looking for a procedure or lifting that could make a difference without any noticeable changes within a week, and that's when I found out about Portra Lifting.
I made a quick appointment before the event and visited a Hongdae dermatology clinic because they said there was no downtime, no blemishes, and that I could see improvements in pores, tone, and lifting effects.
I visited right after work 4 days before the event, and the interior was clean and the cleansing and drying facilities were set up, so it was easy to get ready before and after the procedure.
It was not difficult to get to as it was located right after exiting Hongik University Station.
Personally, what I remember most was the consultation process. Instead of going straight to the procedure, they first took pictures of my face and skin condition with a machine and analyzed them.
When I consulted while checking my skin condition with a camera, I was able to see the asymmetry, nasolabial folds, and pore condition better than I had expected.
After looking at the analysis results, I decided to get lifting focused on asymmetry, nasolabial folds, and pores, and decided to proceed with Portra Lifting 80KJ.
Since the left and right sides are different, the energy input is different, and the design was decided first, excluding the areas with less fat to prevent sagging.
The process of receiving a detailed treatment design on the face was impressive, and it proceeded while listening to an explanation of how it was done.
I was worried because I am usually sensitive to pain and heat, but of all the lifting treatments I have had, this one was the least painful.
I heard that the cooling function called Port supports up to -5 degrees, and it was able to withstand it because the cooling was applied whenever the temperature rose.
Even during the procedure, the doctor continued to check my reaction and the number of shots, and after receiving treatment on one side, he showed me a mirror to compare the two sides.
At that time, I felt that the left and right sides looked different, so I was a bit surprised.
There was no significant redness immediately after the procedure, and when I looked in the mirror, my face felt like it had been pulled up.
I don't know if it was my mood, but overall, I felt like I was stuck on top.
When I compared the selfies I took while waiting with the photos after the procedure, I noticed that the swelling had gone down and my face looked a little slimmer.
Even in the photos, you can see some changes in the skin texture, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
In particular, it was said that the number of left and right shots was adjusted differently, and it felt like the asymmetry was also alleviated.
I also compared it with a side profile photo, and although I don't have much flesh on my face, I felt like my nasolabial folds and lower jaw line looked a bit shorter.
Maybe it was because it was customized, but the way it was done felt different from the lifting I had done before.
I heard that titanium series lifting is immediate but does not last long, so I was curious about how long it would last. It's been about 3 weeks since the procedure, and although the effects feel less intense than before, they still seem to be lasting to some extent.
Personally, I felt the biggest change in the first two weeks.
Looking at the photos after 3 and 5 days, I could see that my skin tone had brightened and my nasolabial folds had been smoothed out.
My wedding was 4 days after the procedure, and I heard that my makeup went on well and my face looked slimmer.
Even though it was done up, when comparing photos, it felt like my jawline looked smoother than before.
By the 7th day, my makeup was less smudging and my jawline seemed more defined, so I was a little surprised every time I looked in the mirror.
Rather than saying that my face got noticeably smaller just from lifting, I personally felt changes in skin texture, pores, and asymmetry. At the 3-week mark, the effects seemed to have weakened compared to the initial period, so I think I need to wait and see.
