Dangsan Shurink Lifting: When You’re Worried About Skin Elasticity and Sagging

[Dangsan Shurink Lifting]

Hello!

I’m Kang Injeong, the chief director of The River Dermatology :)

Today, I’d like to talk about the Shurink lifting procedure, which has been consistently loved for a long time.

As you get older, do you feel like your skin elasticity has decreased, your jawline has started to sag, and your double chin seems to be increasing?

For those who have these concerns, I’ll explain what the effects of “Shurink” are,

and what procedure process helps improve skin elasticity.

Shurink is a procedure that “restores elasticity from within the skin and helps create a more defined facial contour.”

Today, I’ll explain in simple terms how Shurink improves facial contours and skin elasticity,

and how The River Dermatology provides customized Shurink treatments tailored to each individual’s skin condition.

• What is Shurink lifting?

Shurink is a non-invasive lifting procedure that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

In particular, the SMAS layer that supports facial contours weakens and sags as we age,

and Shurink lifting acts directly on this layer to firmly support the skin and make the contours more defined.

Ultrasound energy is delivered beyond the epidermis to the dermis and the fascial layer (SMAS layer),

contracting the tissue and inducing new collagen production to help restore elasticity from within the skin.

Simply put, it is a technology that firms the skin from within without pulling it directly.

• Shurink lifting procedure process and customized design

Shurink lifting uses various tips and finely adjusts the energy according to the skin thickness and degree of sagging in each area.

For example, a 1.5 mm tip is used for thin and sensitive areas such as around the eyes,

while a 3.0 mm or 4.5 mm tip is used for areas where sagging is more noticeable, such as the jawline or cheeks.

The procedure is broadly carried out in two steps.

First, the individual’s facial contours, skin condition, and areas of concern are carefully analyzed to plan the optimal design. When receiving a HIFU-based procedure such as Shurink, many people worry about hollowed cheeks, but the procedure should be performed based on an analysis of each person’s skin type and facial shape, so that energy can be delivered accurately and safely while reducing side effects.

Second, during the actual treatment step, the tips are changed by area while ultrasound energy is delivered. At this time, it is very important to carefully consider the direction of skin wrinkles and tissue density.

Shurink lifting is classified as a relatively less painful procedure, so it can be considered even if you are worried about pain, but because some people may occasionally feel slight tightness or tingling, this is explained in advance before the procedure.

• Effects and duration of Shurink lifting

Shurink lifting improves the skin’s internal structure by stimulating the dermis and fascial layers. Immediately after the procedure, some people may experience an instant lifting effect due to tissue contraction,

and over the course of 3 to 4 weeks, skin elasticity gradually improves thanks to newly generated collagen.

For a first treatment or if it has been a long time since your last treatment, three sessions at 4- to 5-week intervals are recommended, and if you continue with maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months, you can maintain good results for a longer period.

• Post-procedure precautions and side effect management

Because Shurink lifting requires a procedure tailored to each person’s skin condition and facial contours, consultation with an experienced medical professional before treatment is essential.

At The River Dermatology, we carefully examine and analyze each patient’s skin condition and concerns, and suggest a customized treatment that best suits their skin type and face shape.

If you have any questions or need a consultation, please feel free to contact us at any time.

We will do our best to support you for healthy skin and confidence!
