Review of getting Shurink Universe because I don't have a double chin but have lost elasticity (I was really worried about sunken cheeks ㅠㅠ)

Hello haha. I got off work yesterday and finally went to get the lifting procedure I'd been planning for so long, so I'm leaving a vivid review. I don't have a lot of fat on my face, and I don't have a severe double chin, but at some point, my nasolabial folds started looking deeper, and the deep cheek fat around my mouth began to sag slightly, showing signs of turning into bulldog cheeks ㅠㅠ. Since I have a peanut-shaped face, I have prominent cheekbones but little cheek fat, so I went to consultations in a state of extreme anxiety, worrying that if the lifting was done incorrectly, my cheeks would become hollowed out and I'd look like a skeleton.

After examining my face shape, the director told me that I absolutely should not undergo procedures that destroy fat, like InMode FX, and that I needed an ultrasound lifting treatment that elevates the SMAS layer. Since Ultherapy is prohibitively expensive, I decided on 'Shrink Universe,' which is said to be cost-effective and less painful. I was secretly hoping for the best results because the Universe version combines dot-type and line-type treatments compared to the previous Shurink, making it more effective and less painful. I opted for 300 shots across my entire face, and I earnestly requested that they strictly avoid the sunken areas under my cheekbones and focus the treatment primarily on my lower face and jawline.

I had numbing cream applied for 20 minutes before the procedure, and when it passed near my jawbone, I did feel a bit of tooth sensitivity and a dull ache, similar to getting dental treatment! But it was definitely not unbearable; it was just enough to make me grimace slightly. Compared to InMode, it was really gentle, haha. Right after the procedure, my face was slightly red and throbbing, but it subsided quickly after I got home in the cold air. There was no bruising or swelling, so it was so convenient to be able to go back to my daily life right away.

It's been about a week since I got it. You know how they say the true value of ultrasound lifting comes out after about a month as collagen builds up? But for me, when I touch my jawline while washing my face in the morning, it already feels tighter and more lifted than before. The shadows around my nasolabial folds, which used to look saggy, seem to have faded slightly, and thanks to the doctor carefully avoiding the sunken cheeks I was worried about, there are absolutely none! I understand now why everyone raves about Shurink as such a cost-effective lifting treatment. I think getting it consistently every 3 to 4 months will be incredibly helpful for maintaining elasticity, so I plan to stick with this treatment from now on. If you're like me and worried about having no cheek fat but just losing elasticity, I highly recommend getting the Shurink Universe treatment with the number of shots adjusted!! I'm also curious to know how everyone else schedules their lifting sessions.
