Applying anesthetic cream properly should help manage the pain. It would be effective to receive the procedure frequently.

I'm most interested in Ulthera, but I hear it's the most painful lol. Still, I really like that the results last for a year. You summarized it so well ^^

I really enjoyed seeing the results of the Shurink lifting. I'd like to try it too.

Wow, I didn't know that. If I really had a lot of money, I'd love to get treatments on every single floor. Since my skin is sagging, I'd get Thermage, Titanium, and Shurink. I wonder how much it would cost to get all of these done. ^^;;;

It could be an issue with skin elasticity, but it could also be due to fat accumulation specifically under the chin. I recommend InMode FX, which is effective for fat reduction. It concentrates energy deep into the skin's layers to help refine the jawline and facial contours. Since significant changes are difficult to see with just one InMode session, I recommend repeating the treatment 3 to 6 times at 2-week intervals. However, the recommended number of sessions varies depending on the amount of fat, so please consult a dermatologist.

It seems to vary depending on face type. I think it is important to get a procedure that suits each individual.

These days, there isn't a set timeframe for when you should start getting treatments; in fact, many people begin receiving lifting procedures early in their 20s as a form of maintenance. If you feel the need, it's a good idea to start right away. If you are a beginner who has never had a lifting procedure before, I would recommend Shurink. It uses low-intensity output, making it cost-effective, and allows for improved skin elasticity as well as a light lift. I suggest visiting a dermatologist for a consultation.

Thank you so much for the Linear G review! I've also been putting off Shurink because of the pain, but I was thinking I should look into Linear G. Since I just want to refine my body lines, it seems like the perfect fit for my case. By any chance, how many sessions did you have?

What kind of lifting procedures are recommended for people with very little fat? I'm curious because I'm considering it myself.

While lifting side effects may appear to be diverse, they can actually be broadly categorized into “temporary reactions” and “rare but structural side effects.” First, for energy-based lifting procedures such as InMode, Shurink, Ulthera, and Thermage, swelling, pain, heat sensation, and bruising are the most common side effects. These usually subside within a few days to two weeks, and are generally considered “normal reactions.”

Ultrasound lifting procedures such as Ulthera and Shurink are recommended 1-2 times a year at intervals of 6 months to 1 year. Since the effects appear gradually after a certain period rather than immediately after the procedure, it is advisable to wait until the results are fully visible before deciding on additional treatments. Radiofrequency lifting procedures such as Thermage, TuneFace, and Legato are recommended 1-2 times a year at intervals of 6 months. These procedures can be performed at slightly shorter intervals than ultrasound.

If your goal is to “reduce expression lines + refine natural lines,” there are options other than Botox, but their roles are completely different. First, Botox is a procedure that fundamentally reduces “wrinkles formed when making facial expressions,” such as on the forehead and between the eyebrows, so it offers the most certain and fastest results. However, since it works by reducing facial muscles, it has the disadvantage of looking unnatural if administered excessively, and the effects typically last for 3 to 6 months.
