Post-Shurink Care: What to Know Before a Lifting Treatment

Cool weather can make a loss of skin elasticity more noticeable. After your 30s, collagen production slows down, causing facial contours to lose definition and wrinkles to become more prominent. For this reason, interest in lifting treatments such as Shurink has been increasing. Let’s take a look at post-Shurink care, questions about Shurink side effects, and comparisons with other lifting treatments.

Key Summary

✔ Shurink is a treatment that uses high-intensity ultrasound to create thermal coagulation points in the dermis, with expected tightening and lifting effects.

✔ A course of at least three treatments at intervals of 3–4 weeks is recommended, though results and how long they last may vary from person to person.

✔ For one week after treatment, it is important to avoid saunas, heated rooms, strenuous exercise, alcohol, and smoking, and to use sunscreen.

What Is Shurink Lifting?

Shurink is a lifting treatment that delivers high-intensity ultrasound energy to the dermis to form thermal coagulation points. This process may provide skin-tightening and lifting effects and may help improve facial contours. Treatment areas include the face, excluding the forehead, the neck, and the double chin using a dedicated tip. You may feel a throbbing sensation during the treatment, so numbing cream is used. The perceived effects may vary depending on your individual skin condition.

How Are Shurink, Ulthera, and Onda Different?

If you are comparing lifting treatments, refer to the information below. The method and treatment areas vary depending on the type of lifting treatment. Ulthera uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to reach the fascial layer and promote collagen production. It is performed on the face, including the forehead, and the neck, with treatments scheduled every 3–6 months. Because it may cause stinging or a prickling sensation, numbing is provided. Onda uses microwaves to create heat through molecular vibration, with expected effects including tightening, lifting, fat reduction, and cellulite improvement. It can be applied to the face, excluding the forehead and neck, as well as body areas. It causes little to no pain, and only oil is applied without numbing. The treatment schedule is similar to Shurink, consisting of three treatments at 3–4-week intervals. For all three treatments, it is important to choose a method suited to your skin condition and desired treatment areas through consultation.

Shurink Variations to Know About

Shurink also has variations specialized for different areas. Eye Shurink, also called Pink Shurink, is specialized for the eye area and can also be applied to areas where fine lines are a concern, such as around the mouth, the neck, and marionette lines. V-Line Shurink, also called Gold Shurink, may be used when a double chin or fullness in the face is a concern. If you have previously received filler treatment, it is recommended to wait at least 1–2 months before undergoing Shurink. It is best to determine through consultation which variation is right for you.

Post-Shurink Care: What to Do

If you are concerned about Shurink side effects, start by reviewing the post-treatment care guidelines. Swelling or sensitivity may occur immediately after Shurink. For one week after treatment, avoiding saunas, heated rooms, strenuous exercise, alcohol, and smoking is recommended. When washing your face, use lukewarm water instead of hot water, as hot water may increase skin irritation. In addition, exposure to UV rays may increase skin irritation, so it is important to apply sunscreen consistently. These care guidelines apply not only to Shurink but also generally to lifting treatments such as Ulthera and Onda.

Which Treatment Is Right for Me?

The three treatments differ in treatment depth and application areas, so the most suitable choice may vary depending on the area of concern. If you are concerned about overall facial elasticity, Shurink, which reaches the dermis, may be a suitable option. If you want to stimulate the fascial layer and promote collagen production for longer, Ulthera may be more appropriate. If you want to care for both your face and body without the burden of pain, Onda may be a relatively good fit. However, these are only general tendencies. The appropriate treatment and care intervals may differ depending on your skin thickness and degree of aging, so it is best to confirm the right choice through consultation.

Why Consultation Before Treatment Is Important

The appropriate lifting method may vary depending on your skin thickness, degree of aging, and desired treatment areas. It is advisable to decide which of Shurink, Ulthera, or Onda is right for you through a thorough consultation with a medical professional. In particular, if you need to compare several lifting treatments, understanding the differences in their application areas and treatment intervals in advance can make the consultation easier. Treatment results and how long they last may vary from person to person, so it is also a good idea to discuss these points during your consultation.
