Inquiries regarding lifting procedure effects, etc.
Hello. I am an office worker in my 30s who has recently become very concerned as I age, with marionette lines around my mouth, my jawline sagging, and overall skin elasticity decreasing. Since it is difficult to see noticeable lifting effects with home care alone, I am inquiring about receiving a professional laser lifting procedure.
I am wondering if ultrasound (HIFU) lifting procedures like Ulthera or Shurink would be suitable given my current skin thickness and degree of sagging, or if radio frequency (RF) treatments like InMode or Oligio would be more effective for improving elasticity and regenerating collagen. I would like to safely refine my facial contours without the side effects of cheek hollowing caused by facial fat loss.
Please let me know how long it typically takes for visible lifting effects to appear after the procedure and how long the results last. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could also answer how much downtime, such as redness, bruising, or swelling occurs immediately after the procedure, and whether it interferes with daily life.
