Dangsan Shurink, Should I Try It Too?

Hello.

I’m Kang In-jeong, the director of The River Dermatology Clinic :)

[Dangsan Shurink]

One of the questions I’m asked most often at the dermatology clinic is:

“Can a lifting procedure really change my face?”

I don’t think this question comes from simple curiosity.

Most patients come to me because they are concerned about the small but meaningful changes they have noticed in the mirror,

and they are looking for a solution.

In particular, as time passes, they notice their cheek line starting to collapse and their jawline becoming less defined,

and they may ask themselves, “Is this just something I have to accept as I get older?”

Today, I’d like to talk about a procedure that can help address this question without too much 부담.

That procedure is Shurink!

[Dangsan Shurink]

Shurink is a procedure that uses ultrasound energy to deliver energy deep into the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer while causing almost no damage to the skin surface, helping restore skin elasticity.

In this article, I’ll take an in-depth look at the principles behind Shurink, effective treatment methods, and the changes you can expect after the procedure.

The SMAS layer is the core of how Shurink works.

[Dangsan Shurink[

The structure of the facial skin consists of the epidermis, dermis, fat, and the fascial layer called the SMAS layer.

This SMAS layer does more than simply support the skin; it is an important layer that determines facial contours and elasticity.

As we age, the elasticity of the SMAS layer decreases, and due to gravity and reduced collagen production, sagging skin and wrinkles begin to appear.

Shurink directly delivers ultrasound energy to this SMAS layer, causing it to contract and stimulating new collagen production.

In particular, through the process of using thermal energy generated as the ultrasound energy is concentrated,

the procedure promotes collagen denaturation and regeneration,

restoring the skin to a firmer and more elastic state.

According to a study recently published in Dermatologic Surgery (a major journal where research findings on plastic surgery and dermatology-related procedures are published),

93% of patients who received ultrasound lifting procedures experienced improved skin elasticity and lifting effects within three months after treatment.

In addition, these effects last an average of 3 to 6 months, and in some cases more than a year, so with consistent repeated treatments, long-term improvement can be expected.

Are you worried about hollow cheeks after Shurink?

[Dangsan Shurink]

One concern that often comes up when looking into Shurink is, “Could it cause hollowing or a sunken appearance in the cheeks?”

To prevent this, it is essential to carefully analyze the patient’s facial structure.

Hollowing can occur when skin tissue contracts excessively or when energy is concentrated in areas where the fat layer is too thin.

Therefore, after designing the treatment appropriately according to the patient’s face shape and skin thickness,

it is important to select the right tip and distribute the shots with the appropriate energy.

“Shurink is a procedure that designs the face.”

[Dangsan Shurink]

For a Shurink procedure, it is important to closely analyze the patient’s face and understand the characteristics of each area,

and then create a treatment plan based on that.

In particular, it is important to design the treatment while considering the facial contours and overall harmony.

For example, sagging skin around the jawline is one of the areas most affected by gravity.

When Shurink is used on this area, the skin contracts, the jawline becomes more defined,

and the overall facial line is more smoothly refined.

On the other hand, the cheekbone area has thin and sensitive skin,

so the energy intensity should be lowered and the number of shots adjusted to improve elasticity while maintaining a natural volume.

If you are considering Shurink,

I recommend consulting with an experienced medical team that can provide a customized treatment plan tailored to your face.

Going forward, I will continue to think together with you about your skin concerns and how to address them!!
