At some point, my selfie angles stopped working... so I’d like to ask you about the types of lifting procedures and their duration step-by-step, starting from the beginning.
In the past, when taking selfies, I could somehow get a photo I liked as long as I got the angle right. However, these days, even when shooting from the same angle, my jawline sags and my nasolabial folds and marionette lines show up, making it incredibly difficult to choose a picture. That is why I am seriously considering a lifting procedure, but there are so many types that I don't know where to start. As I read the descriptions for ultrasound, radiofrequency, thread, and injectable lifting, it feels like only the broad category of "lifting procedures" remains in my mind, while the details just get all mixed up.
What I am curious about is which skin layers are targeted by each type of lifting procedure, which procedures are relatively safe for first-timers to start with, and how long the effects of each treatment last. For instance, knowing general guidelines—such as ultrasound lasting 6 months to 1 year, thread lifting around 1 year, and radiofrequency lifting about 6 months—would be helpful for my selection. Could you gently explain the combination of procedures and recommended intervals suitable for my age and skin elasticity, from the perspective of someone planning their first lifting treatment?
