I went to see a practitioner who is known for doing fillers, but it turns out they also do laser treatments, so I opted for that. Honestly, I was a bit nervous since I had never done anything like this before. A friend just said to trust them and go, so I felt like I was being half-dragged there. During the consultation, I was a bit surprised that even though I was clearly clueless, they didn’t ignore me at all. They went into detail about the condition of my face. They didn’t use any complicated jargon and only shared the necessary information, which made it so I didn’t have many questions like, “What about this?” As I listened, I found myself just nodding along, thinking, “Oh, I see.” For the treatment, they first used a machine that sprayed something like oxygen on my face as a preparatory step. It felt like a cool breeze. After that, I went into the treatment room. Many people asked if it hurt, and honestly, saying it doesn't hurt would be a lie. But it wasn’t to the point of making me cry; it was bearable. If you just brace yourself, you can manage it. Since my natural skin tone is a bit dark, people often say I look tired in dim lighting. I was particularly worried about the shadowy areas on my face. But after the treatment, I felt like the sagging areas around my cheeks, which had become slightly droopy with age, lifted up nicely. I was looking in the mirror thinking, “Wait, what?” The areas that used to look shadowy seemed to smooth out a bit, and the overall vibe changed so much that I felt a bit awkward. My skin tone seemed to brighten slightly as well, and I was really pleased that my face looked less dull.
