Hongdae Shurink: Why a lift without anesthesia is a good choice for skin tired from the heat

"My skin has gotten so dry lately, maybe because of the air conditioning."

"My skin looks saggy in the heat, and I want a lift, but anesthesia feels burdensome."

"Is it okay to get a lift even in summer? What if it hurts?"

As the heat wave continues day after day and the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors becomes more severe, many people are likely struggling to manage their skin condition. In particular, when you move between an air-conditioned room and the hot outdoors, your skin is exposed to sudden environmental changes, which can easily reduce elasticity and cause dryness.

Among those who searched for Hongdae Shurink, there may be people who feel uneasy about summer lifting procedures. In particular, this is often due to concerns about the discomfort of the anesthesia process or post-procedure care.

For those people, today I’ll explain why Shurink lifting, which can be done without anesthesia, is suitable for skin that is tired from the summer heat.

Profile

Hello, I’m Director Cho Won-jin of Chai Clinic.

After performing skin aesthetic procedures in Hongdae for 9 years, I’ve seen many people especially struggle with skin concerns during the summer. That’s because the hot weather, air conditioning, and strong ultraviolet rays work together to cause a sharp decline in skin elasticity.

The procedure I often recommend to such people is Shurink Universe. It is also a procedure I personally receive regularly during the summer.

Shurink is a second-generation high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) lifting procedure, and its biggest feature is that it can be done comfortably without an anesthesia process. This advantage stands out even more when the skin is sensitive, such as in summer.

For those looking into Hongdae Shurink, I’ll explain step by step why an anesthesia-free lift is needed in summer.

First, let me explain how Shurink works.

Shurink is a non-invasive procedure that uses only ultrasound energy, without injections or incisions in the skin. It delivers energy to the SMAS layer (the fascia layer), which lies deepest in the skin tissue, creating a thermal reaction of over 60 degrees Celsius that causes the skin tissue to contract.

At this time, the muscle tissue that receives the thermal stimulus contracts and collagen is produced, improving skin elasticity. In other words, ultrasound energy reaches deep layers of the skin and creates a natural lifting effect.

The second reason Shurink is suitable for skin worn out by the summer heat is its various cartridge system.

Shurink consists of a total of 7 cartridges, allowing customized treatment according to each person’s skin condition and treatment area.

The Ultra F cartridges are composed of Dermashurink, Eye Shurink, Cellup Shurink, and Lineup Shurink.

Dermashurink promotes collagen regeneration in the upper dermis, and Eye Shurink is suitable for thin areas such as around the eyes and neck wrinkles. Cellup Shurink increases firmness in the subcutaneous layer at a depth of 3.0 mm, while Lineup Shurink is responsible for lifting in the fascia layer at a depth of 4.5 mm. There may be many types, but the key point is that it can be applied to various skin conditions, right?

In addition, with the Ultra Booster cartridge, accurate energy delivery is possible at depths of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm. This makes it possible to care for each layer step by step, from the surface dried out by air conditioning to the deeper layers damaged by ultraviolet rays.

So what are the specific reasons people prefer an anesthesia-free lift in summer?

First, the treatment time is greatly reduced.

If the conventional Shurink took 10–15 minutes for 300 shots, Shurink Universe reduced the treatment time by 2.5 times, to just 3–4 minutes for 300 shots. On top of that, there is no anesthesia process, so the procedure can begin immediately after applying ultrasound gel.

This eliminates the burden of having to stay at the clinic for a long time in the summer heat. It finishes so quickly that it can even be done during a lunch break.

Second, there is almost no downtime, so it does not interfere with summer activities.

Procedures that require anesthesia may cause swelling or bruising after treatment, which can limit daily activities for a few days. However, with Shurink, you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure, so it does not affect summer vacations or important plans.

Third, it does not place a burden on skin that is already sensitive in summer.

Among those looking into Hongdae Shurink, some may worry, "Is it okay to get a procedure in the summer?" Since Shurink uses only ultrasound energy without anesthesia or additional processes, it can be safely applied even to skin made sensitive by the heat.

Fourth, you can immediately return to a cool environment.

Since Shurink allows you to return to your daily routine right after treatment, it is very suitable for summer, when people tend to enjoy many different activities.

Of course, Shurink is still a lifting procedure, so there are precautions. Side effects such as hollowing of the cheeks or burns can occur, mainly when excessive energy is applied in cases with too little facial fat or when it is applied to the wrong area.

That is why accurate skin analysis and consultation are most important. No two skins are the same in the world, so a customized treatment design that considers each person’s skin condition and the characteristics of summer is necessary.

Also, you should not neglect skin care just because it is summer. Along with the Shurink procedure, sufficient hydration and thorough sun protection should be maintained. No matter how good the lifting procedure is, it is hard to achieve satisfying results if basic lifestyle habits do not support it.

Finally, I’d like to say this to those looking into Hongdae Shurink. The more skin becomes tired from the heat and dry from air conditioning, the more important it is to receive proper care at the right time. Don’t delay necessary procedures because of concerns about anesthesia or heat; instead, try Shurink, which can be received comfortably, to help restore summer skin elasticity.

I hope this information is helpful for those looking into Hongdae Shurink. I’ll conclude here.

This has been Chai Clinic, customizing your beauty. Thank you.
