Hongdae Shurink, explained by a practicing doctor.

Hello,

I’m Director Oh Young-ju of Hongdae Oblige Clinic :)

When you look in the mirror, there are times when you suddenly feel that your skin is not as firm as it used to be.

It may feel like your skin has sagged more than before, or that the contours of your face are starting to lose definition.

If you are reading this, I imagine you may have similar concerns.

The Shurink procedure you searched for today is often recommended for people who feel surgery is still too burdensome,

and who want to naturally restore firmness rather than make a dramatic change.

So today, I’d like to organize the accurate information about Shurink lifting that many people are curious about.

I’ll explain how Shurink works, which skin types it is suitable for,

and the points to keep in mind before and after the procedure.

If you are considering the procedure, please read to the end and use this as a helpful guide for making a careful decision ^^

How does the Shurink procedure work? Hongdae Shurink, explained by a practicing doctor. -1

Shurink is a lifting procedure that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU).

It works by delivering thermal energy to the deep layers of the skin (the SMAS layer), causing tissue contraction and stimulating collagen production, which helps restore skin elasticity.

The biggest feature of this procedure is that it can deliver energy to deep layers without damaging the skin’s surface,

which is why it is often chosen as a relatively low-burden, fast-recovery, non-surgical lifting method.

Of course, you cannot expect the same effect for every skin type.

Shurink is especially recommended in the following cases:

• When overall facial firmness has decreased and sagging has begun

• When you want to improve relatively mild skin sagging

• When you want a natural lifting effect but find thread lifting or surgery burdensome

• When you want to activate collagen regeneration in the skin to improve firmness over the long term

Shurink focuses on improving firmness from within the skin rather than creating a strong pulling effect,

so it is more effective when used as a preventive measure in the early stages rather than when skin elasticity has already dropped sharply.

Fact-check on the Shurink procedure Hongdae Shurink, explained by a practicing doctor. -2

Since there is a wide range of information about Shurink procedures online,

it is important to verify accurate details when deciding on a procedure.

Below, I’ve organized some points related to Shurink that many people may have misunderstood or be curious about ^^

Does Shurink have an immediate lifting effect? → Partly true.

You may feel a slight tightening effect right after the procedure, but the core effect of Shurink appears gradually over time.

As energy is delivered, collagen regeneration becomes more active inside the skin, and the lifting effect gradually strengthens over 2 to 3 months.

Is Shurink the same procedure as Ultherapy? → No, they are different devices.

Ultherapy is an FDA-approved HIFU lifting device in the United States, while Shurink is a lifting device developed in Korea.

Although both use the same ultrasound lifting method, the ultrasound delivery method and energy differ.

In general, Ultherapy delivers higher energy more deeply, whereas Shurink stimulates the skin with relatively lower intensity, allowing for a gentler and more comfortable procedure.

Does one Shurink session provide semi-permanent results? → No, there is a maintenance period.

Shurink is not a procedure whose effects last permanently after just one treatment.

Although this varies depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle habits, maintenance treatments are generally recommended once a year after the procedure.

Is Shurink a lifting procedure with almost no pain? → There are individual differences, but some degree of pain may be involved.

Shurink is generally known to be less painful than Ultherapy,

but because ultrasound energy stimulates the deeper layers of the skin, you may feel a stinging sensation or warmth depending on your skin condition.

Also, even when using the same device, the level of pain can vary depending on the medical staff’s skill and the procedure method.

Is it safe for all skin types? → No, it may not be suitable depending on the skin condition.

Shurink is a relatively safe procedure, but if the skin is too thin or has significantly lost elasticity,

or if there is severe inflammatory acne, temporary redness or strong skin irritation may occur after the procedure.

Therefore, it is important to determine the appropriate method through sufficient consultation with a medical professional based on the skin condition.

So, I’ve explained the Shurink procedure that many of you are curious about. To briefly summarize once again:

Shurink lifting is a representative non-surgical lifting procedure that uses ultrasound energy, and you can expect relatively low burden and a natural improvement in firmness.

However, it does not produce the same effect for everyone, and it is important to choose an appropriate method based on your individual skin condition and the results you are hoping for.

Therefore, if you are considering the procedure, rather than deciding based only on reviews from people around you or on price,

having a thorough consultation with a specialist about whether it is the right procedure for you will help lead to a decision you won’t regret.

Through careful consultation and planning, I hope you can find the skin lifting solution that is best suited to you.
