To be honest, I was really worried before going to the dermatology clinic for my first treatment. Even though people around me said it was fine, I felt scared for no reason just thinking about the procedure being done directly on my own face. I kept having thoughts like, "What if it hurts a lot?", "What if it doesn't work at all and I just waste my money?", and "What if my skin breaks out?" Especially since it was my first time getting a dermatological procedure, I think I became even more nervous as I spent hours searching for reviews online and looking up cases of side effects.
After much deliberation, the first procedure I tried was Vitaran, and I was ultimately quite satisfied. I chose it because it is said to help with skin regeneration and elasticity improvement, and the procedure itself was less burdensome than I expected. Of course, it wasn't completely painless; there was a slight stinging sensation on the skin, but compared to how scared I was, it was quite bearable. They applied anesthetic cream beforehand, so it wasn't as painful as I had anticipated, and since the procedure didn't take long, it felt like it was over quickly. For someone receiving it for the first time, this aspect is really important. If it takes too long and is difficult, it can make you more afraid of the next procedure, but Vitaran minimized that sense of pressure.
And what I was most curious about was, of course, the effectiveness. Honestly, I didn't feel like I saw a dramatic change the very next day. For the first few days, my skin was just a little sensitive, and I even wondered if I was doing it right. However, after about two weeks, I started to notice a difference when looking in the mirror. My skin texture felt more refined overall, and I could feel that my makeup applied much more smoothly than before. In particular, my pores didn't look as prominent as they used to, and my skin felt calmer and healthier. It felt like my skin had found its balance, without feeling excessively shiny or dry.
What I liked most was that I started hearing comments like, "Your skin looks better." I was even more satisfied because it didn't feel like an artificial, obvious change, but rather like my skin naturally looked in better condition. I was so worried at first, but after actually getting the treatment, I began to understand a little bit why people consistently get skin care. Of course, the effects may vary from person to person, but I think it is a decent procedure to start with relatively without feeling too much pressure, especially for someone like me who is hesitant about getting their first dermatological treatment.
