Hongdae Shurink: Take Care of Summer Heatwave Skin Damage in Just 20 Minutes

"Is my skin looking so saggy because of the intense heat, or is it because of UV rays?"

"I’ve been exposed to air conditioning all through the late-summer heat, and I feel like my skin elasticity has really dropped."

As the late-summer heat and sudden showers keep changing unpredictably, many people may be worried about skin that has become tired from UV damage. This year in particular, the continuing heatwave and high humidity are making the stress on the skin even worse.

Among those who searched for Hongdae Shurink, there may also be people who felt startled by these sudden skin changes. In the summer, when UV rays are strongest, you are probably looking for a way to quickly recover damaged skin.

For those people, today I’ll explain the principles and benefits of Hongdae Shurink, which can provide first aid for skin damaged by UV rays in just 20 minutes.

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

Having operated a dermatology clinic in Hongdae for 9 years, I have especially seen many people experience rapid skin aging due to UV damage in the summer.

Summer is the time of year when UV rays are at their strongest, and even within just a few weeks, skin elasticity can noticeably decline.

The procedure I often recommend to such people is Shurink. It is also a procedure I receive regularly for skin that is worn out by the late-summer heat.

Shurink is a high-intensity focused ultrasound lifting treatment. It works by delivering energy to the SMAS layer, the deepest layer within the skin tissue, and generating a thermal reaction of over 60°C. It helps restore skin elasticity by creating new collagen in areas where collagen has been damaged and destroyed by UV rays.

For those looking into Hongdae Shurink, I’ll explain step by step why this procedure is especially suitable for skin damaged by summer UV exposure.

I’d like to explain why Shurink is suitable for skin damaged by UV rays in the late-summer heat.

First, it is a quick 20-minute procedure without anesthesia.

Skin damaged by UV rays is more sensitive than usual. In such a situation, procedures that use anesthetics or additional chemical ingredients can feel burdensome.

However, Shurink can be performed right after applying only ultrasound gel, so it can be safely applied even to sensitive summer skin.

Most importantly, the procedure takes only 15–20 minutes for 1,000 shots, so there is no burden of having to stay at the clinic for a long time in the heat. That is why it is called a lunchtime lifting treatment.

Second, with 7 cartridges, it is possible to provide a customized procedure suited to the degree of UV damage and the skin condition.

Hongdae Shurink consists of a total of 7 cartridges, allowing treatment at an appropriate depth depending on the individual’s degree of UV damage and the area being treated.

Derma Shurink targets fine lines on the surface layer, Cell Up Shurink addresses elasticity in the subcutaneous layer at a depth of 3.0 mm, and Line Up Shurink handles lifting all the way to the fascia layer at a depth of 4.5 mm.

Since UV damage can appear at various levels from the surface to deeper layers, this step-by-step approach is especially important.

Third, you can return to daily life immediately with no downtime.

The late-summer heat is a time when many important vacation or work schedules come up. Shurink allows you to resume daily life right after the procedure, so it does not interfere with busy schedules. Being able to receive it without worrying about bruising or swelling is a major advantage.

Fourth, it can support the fundamental regeneration of collagen damaged by UV rays.

Strong summer UV rays destroy collagen in the skin and damage elastic fibers. Shurink’s thermal energy above 60°C promotes new collagen production in these damaged areas, helping the skin recover at a deeper level.

You may notice that your skin becomes firmer over time, more so than immediately after the procedure.

Of course, since Shurink is still a procedure, there are precautions to keep in mind. The special conditions of the late-summer heat should be considered.

The most important thing is sun protection after the procedure. No matter how good the procedure is, continuous UV exposure can interfere with skin recovery, so it is important to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher carefully.

Adequate hydration is also essential. Dehydration caused by the late-summer heat can slow skin recovery, so it is better to drink more water than usual.

Another important part of preparing for the procedure is an accurate skin analysis and consultation process.

As expressed in Chai Clinic’s philosophy that no two skins in the world are the same, a customized treatment design based on an accurate understanding of each person’s degree of UV damage and skin condition is necessary.

To those looking into Hongdae Shurink, I’d like to leave you with one final message.

The more tired the skin is from the late-summer heat and the more damaged it is by UV rays, the more important it is to receive proper care at the right time. Use 20 minutes of your time to bring new vitality to tired skin.

I hope this information is helpful for those looking into Hongdae Shurink, and if you need a more detailed consultation, please feel free to visit us anytime.
