How to Reduce Jowls and Improve Firmness with Shurink

[Reasoned by Dermatology Specialist Lee Yudeuk]

Hello,

A place that creates a comfortable face rather than an excessive change.

This is Easyderm Dermatology Clinic.

"Have you felt heavy-hearted because the jawline in the mirror no longer looks like it used to?"

Have you ever felt disheartened as the jawline in the mirror seemed to collapse little by little? When taking photos, you may find yourself worrying about angles and unable to smile as confidently as before.

Sagging skin under the chin and a collapsed contour line are not just an appearance issue; they can also shake our confidence. Today, we would like to talk about the method many people ask about for reducing jowls and the process of change that follows.

A beauty consultation that is truly beneficial

Easyderm Dermatology Clinic.

When I meet patients in the consultation room, I try to respect

the unique beauty each person has.

Above all, I believe that what matters most is unexaggerated naturalness.

Many people who visit for consultations are concerned about jawline sagging, and this affects not only appearance but also confidence.

Sagging under the chin,

not just fat, but a sign of skin elasticity

So, what exactly are jowls?

They refer to the skin and soft tissue that sag downward, like a bulldog’s jowls, as the boundary under the chin and along the neck breaks down. Medically, this is a phenomenon caused by sagging skin along the mandibular line and a decrease in elasticity.

As we age, collagen and elastin in the dermis decrease, which is like the pillars supporting a building becoming weaker.

In particular, the area under the chin is a region where fat can accumulate easily and muscles can weaken easily, so the change becomes more noticeable.

On top of that, poor posture, the habit of looking at a smartphone for long periods, and sudden weight changes can make sagging worse.

This is why more and more people are looking for ways to reduce jowls.

Shurink, a method that helps restore firmness from deep within the skin

Among the various methods used to address jawline sagging, one that has been receiving a lot of attention recently is Shurink.

Shurink is an ultrasound lifting device that delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound to the deeper layers of the skin to induce collagen activation.

While minimizing stimulation to the skin surface, it delivers thermal energy to the deep SMAS layer, that is, the fascia layer, causing tissue contraction and promoting new collagen production.

The advantage of Shurink is that it works on deeper layers without incision, making a natural lifting effect possible.

You may feel some tightening right after the procedure, and then over the following weeks, as collagen gradually regenerates, you can observe positive changes.

The wisdom of choosing what suits your skin

Of course, Shurink is not the only way to reduce jowls.

Doublelo Gold uses HIFU technology to reach deeper layers and may be considered in cases of severe sagging, while Vero also provides lifting effects with its own specialized technology.

It is important to choose the appropriate device according to skin thickness and the degree of sagging.

In addition, Thermage, a radiofrequency lifting treatment, can help with skin tightening and collagen replenishment.

Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to heat the dermis, inducing both immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen normalization.

Because each device differs slightly in how it delivers energy and how deep it acts, it is important to make an accurate diagnosis and choose the method best suited to the skin condition of the person who visits.

Prevention and care in daily life are just as important as the method

Along with treatment, prevention and care are important.

Maintaining proper posture in daily life is important. In particular, when looking at a smartphone, it is better to reduce the habit of lowering your head and to look at it at eye level.

Simple exercises that strengthen the muscles around the neck and chin can also help. You can train the muscles simply by opening your mouth wide to pronounce vowels or by lifting your chin, looking at the ceiling, and repeatedly protruding your lips.

Also, drinking enough water and using sunscreen are essential for maintaining skin elasticity.

Ultraviolet rays are a major cause of collagen destruction, so it is important to apply sunscreen carefully throughout all four seasons.

Even after the procedure, you should avoid saunas, steam rooms, and excessive exercise for one week and be diligent about sun protection to maintain the effect for longer.
