I want to know the benefits of lifting procedures and who they are recommended for.

Lately, I definitely feel like my skin isn't as elastic as it used to be, so I've been looking into lifting procedures like crazy!

But there are so many types that I honestly have no idea what's what. I'm confused to start by asking if things like Shurink, Ulthera, Onda, and InMode are all considered lifting procedures. I have absolutely no idea if they each have different advantages or if the recommendation varies depending on my skin concerns. I'm also curious which one is less painful and has a faster recovery time.

I would also like to ask if there is a specific target audience for lifting procedures. Is it only for people with significantly sagging skin, or is it effective even for those whose skin isn't severely saggy yet but who feel their elasticity is gradually decreasing? I'm really unsure whether it's right to start early for preventative purposes. It's even more confusing because my friends have differing opinions when I ask them, haha. Also, I'm curious about the downtime I should expect after the procedure.

It would be super helpful if those of you who are just starting lifting procedures could share what motivated you or recommend some types!! I would also be very grateful if you could let me know which one would be good to start with haha.
