It seems like there are too many types of lifting devices these days.
With new products constantly coming out like Titanium, Softwave, Sherp, etc., I honestly can't get a feel for what's right.
I was even more confused because there are trends and it's different for everyone.
I'm not the type to try everything, but I always check out the lifting devices from the companies that make shrinks every time they come out.
After hearing about the titanium upgrade version, I was looking for a dermatology clinic with good accessibility in the Hongdae area and ended up visiting it.
It was a short walk from Hongik University Station, and it wasn't a flashy marble space, but rather a quiet and organized space.
Places with flashy interiors feel like they're just included in the cost, which can be burdensome, but this place has a clean atmosphere without any of that extravagance, so it actually feels comfortable.
As soon as I entered, there were tips on actually used devices such as Rejuran, Oligo, and Juvederm on display, and I was informed that Portra Lifting was also a popular treatment.
They explained that it is a higher-level version of titanium, and that it covers a wider and deeper range because it has 4 wavelengths instead of the existing 3 wavelengths.
In particular, I heard that with the addition of the 940 wavelength, energy is delivered to the deep layers of the skin and tightening can also be expected.
He also explained that it is relatively comfortable to receive because it has little stimulation and a cooling effect.
What impressed me during the consultation was the director's way of explaining things.
Rather than feeling like there was a set script, he gave me direction by looking at the facial structure one by one, and he also scanned my face with a 3D analysis device.
I remember how he pointed out in detail the volume of my forehead, asymmetry of my jawline, and even the characteristics of my forehead skin.
He said that since the skin on the forehead is thin, he would not necessarily stimulate it, but would save energy and lift the cheeks and focus on correcting the asymmetry of the jawline.
The method was to exclude unnecessary parts and proceed only with the necessary parts.
I was told that it was based on a total of 50KJ and 50,000 lines, and that it felt like it was being organized densely.
Since it was a device that used light, they carefully secured the remaining hair with tape to protect against heat, and during the procedure, they continuously checked the condition of my face by getting up from time to time and then lying down again.
He said that I have a little more fat on my left cheek, so he said that I should increase the energy a little more there.
Looking at the before photo, I felt like my jawline had sunken overall, and I was constantly concerned about the blurry appearance of my facial features.
In particular, I felt that my impression was dull due to the sagging skin.
From the second day onwards, I started to feel subtle changes.
Every time I looked in the mirror, my left jawline seemed more saggy, but I felt like the balance between the left and right sides of my face had been slightly adjusted.
I originally had a lot of flushing and redness, but after a few days, I felt like the redness had subsided a lot.
This was something I wasn't expecting at all.
On the 4th day, when I wet my face to wash it, my skin felt tighter than before, and my overall skin felt more elastic.
When I touched the area around my jawline, I felt that it had become firmer than before.
On the 6th day, my facial line felt smoother overall and my facial features looked more defined.
I felt like my face had gotten a little smaller, and the sagging left jawline that had been a concern was noticeably less noticeable.
Comparing it to the previously taken photos, the side lines of the face seemed to have risen, and the forehead seemed to have risen, creating a more balanced left and right look.
It's only been about a week, so I think we need to wait and see, and the perceived change may vary from person to person.
