Hongdae Shurink: 2 Treatments to Consider with Your Parents in May

Hongdae Shurink: Summary

The first device, [Shurink]: High-intensity focused ultrasound lifting with minimal pain and a short treatment time.

The second device, [Thermage FLX]: A recently launched lifting device that offers high satisfaction and is suitable for personalized treatments. It also causes minimal pain and requires no anesthesia, resulting in a short treatment time.

During dry weather like this, you need to pay even more attention to skincare. People in their 20s and 30s can generally get through the change of seasons without much trouble by simply paying a little more attention to their usual at-home skincare routine.

However, people in their 40s and 50s—our parents' generation—often have more sensitive reactions to dryness. Many older adults put off skincare because they either do not have enough time or are concerned about the cost.

Among those looking into Hongdae Shurink, there are likely people researching various options to help their parents, or to receive skincare treatments together with them.

For those people, today I would like to introduce lifting treatments for parents.

Professional Background

Hello, I am Jo Won-jin, director of 차이의원.

Over the nine years I have performed skincare treatments in Hongdae, I have most often heard two questions from people who visited with their parents.

> My parents do not like sitting in a dermatology clinic for a long time. Is there a treatment that finishes relatively quickly but still provides a high level of satisfaction?

> My parents really dislike pain. I would like to help them take care of their skin—is there a treatment that is not very painful?

If I had to name just two reasons why parents are reluctant to receive skincare treatments, they would be:

1. Time

2. Pain

That is why today I would like to introduce two treatments that are completed quickly, involve little pain, and offer a high level of satisfaction—so much so that I also receive them regularly.

Shurink

The first is Shurink.

Shurink is HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound lifting.

It delivers energy to the SMAS layer, located at the deepest level within the skin tissue. The principle is that muscle tissue exposed to heat stimulation contracts and produces collagen, improving the skin's elasticity. The ultrasound energy reaches deep within the skin, making it suitable for lifting.

Here are some of Shurink's features and advantages.

First, it is suitable for personalized treatments.

Shurink is designed with various cartridges so that the device can be applied to different skin conditions.

Treatment can be performed from the SMAS layer to the dermal layer, using different cartridges depending on the area you want to lift.

For example, treatment can be performed without difficulty on areas with thin skin, including the area around the eyes and wrinkles around the mouth—some of the most common skin concerns among older adults.

Second, it involves little pain.

This is likely one of the points that people searching for Hongdae Shurink for their parents are most curious about.

Shurink can be performed immediately without an anesthesia process, and because it involves minimal pain, it can be received comfortably.

Third, the treatment time is short.

The fact that no anesthesia is required also means that the overall treatment time is short.

For Shurink, the number of shots should of course be determined through a detailed consultation. However, using the commonly used number of 600 shots as an example, the treatment is completed within 10–15 minutes.

Since both the pain and treatment time are minimal, you can receive the treatment comfortably without having to set aside much extra time.

Thermage FLX

The second treatment I would like to introduce is Thermage FLX lifting.

It may be somewhat unfamiliar to people looking into Hongdae Shurink because the device was launched less than a year ago.

Let me briefly explain what advantages Thermage FLX offers and why I recommend it.

First, it is optimized for personalized treatments.

Unlike the Shurink described above, Thermage FLX is a radiofrequency lifting treatment. In fact, conventional radiofrequency lifting devices had difficulty delivering energy deep into the skin like ultrasound devices do.

However, Thermage FLX was developed to address this limitation of existing lifting devices. It uses two frequencies and can be performed in three levels: Shallow, Middle, and Deep. When performed in Deep mode, energy can be delivered deeper into the skin.

In addition, there are four types of tips, allowing them to be used according to the intended purpose. The options range from the EFFECTOR 40 tip, which can be used generally, to the EFFECTOR 60 tip, which covers an area 1.5 times larger, and the EFFECTOR 05 and EFFECTOR 10 tips, which can be applied to thin skin.

Second, it also involves little pain.

As a recently launched device, Thermage FLX was designed with pain reduction in mind. This is because it features a differentiated cooling system. A cooling pulse is delivered with every shot, so it is a lifting device that does not require you to be overly concerned about pain.

“Even so, isn't radiofrequency lifting painful?”

Yes, people who have undergone radiofrequency lifting may ask this question.

However, Thermage FLX is also a treatment that does not require anesthesia. This reflects how effectively the treatment has addressed concerns about pain.

Third, the treatment time is short.

As with the second advantage, not requiring anesthesia means that the treatment process is shorter.

It takes approximately 30–40 minutes based on 600 shots. However, unlike other radiofrequency lifting treatments, you do not need to spend 40–50 minutes on anesthesia, so the entire treatment can be completed in about an hour.

Today, I introduced two treatments that are suitable for parents who are always busy and on the go.

Since May is Family Month, why not take your parents, who may not have been able to pay much attention to their skin, to visit a dermatology clinic?

I will wrap up here, hoping this information will be helpful to those looking into Hongdae Shurink.

This was 차이의원, customizing your beauty. Thank you.
