What Should You Check When Looking for a Good Lifting Clinic in Sinnonhyeon?

Hello, this is the Gangnam branch of Easyham Dermatology.

Do you find yourself worrying more and more about sagging facial lines every time you look in the mirror these days? Do you miss the firm skin you had in your 20s? Skin sagging and reduced elasticity that naturally come with age are concerns for everyone. If you live in a place like Sinnonhyeon, where a polished image matters especially much, that concern may feel even greater.

Today, I’d like to talk in detail about Shurink lifting through the story of a patient I recently met in the clinic. Through this article, I hope you can also get practical help in figuring out what to check when choosing a lifting procedure.

What is Shurink lifting?

I began by explaining Shurink lifting to the patient. Shurink lifting is a lifting procedure that uses ultrasound energy, delivering thermal energy deep into the skin to promote collagen regeneration. Put simply, ultrasound energy reaches the muscle layer deep within the skin, the SMAS layer, and works by contracting that area and restoring elasticity.

"Doctor, then why has my skin sagged so much?" In response to the patient’s question, I started by explaining the mechanism of skin aging. Our skin is made up of the epidermis, dermis, and the muscle layer beneath them. When we are young, the dermis contains enough collagen and elastin to keep the skin firm and elastic, like a new rubber band. But as we age, collagen production decreases and existing collagen also breaks down, causing the skin to sag like a stretched-out rubber band.

Especially from the mid-40s onward, this phenomenon progresses more rapidly due to a decrease in female hormones. Collagen production drops to less than half of what it was in the 20s, and as the SMAS layer that supports the skin also weakens, the entire face begins to sag downward. I explained that this is the main reason for the changes in facial lines and cheek sagging that the patient is noticing.

How does Shurink lifting improve the skin?

The patient was curious about how Shurink lifting works in more detail. I explained it with an analogy. "Imagine a stretched sweater. If you want to make it feel like new again, how would you do it? You can’t just pull on the surface—you need to tighten the fibers that make up the sweater itself. Shurink lifting works the same way."

Shurink delivers ultrasound energy deep into the skin, to a depth of about 3.0 mm to 4.5 mm. This is where the SMAS layer is located. When the ultrasound energy reaches this layer, heat of about 65 to 70 degrees Celsius is generated momentarily, causing the tissue to contract. It’s like meat shrinking when it is cooked. This contraction effect creates an immediate lifting effect.

But the real effect starts here. The skin tissue stimulated by the thermal energy begins a natural healing process to recover from the injury. In this process, new collagen is produced and existing collagen is rearranged, making the skin gradually more elastic and firm. That is the core principle of Shurink lifting. Some effect can be seen immediately after the procedure, but the main effects appear over 4 to 12 weeks, and you can experience the maximum effect after 2 to 3 months.

Care after Shurink lifting and maintaining the results

I also explained post-procedure care in detail. Shurink lifting is a procedure that allows you to return to daily life immediately after treatment, but there are a few precautions to maximize and maintain the results.

There may be slight swelling or redness right after the procedure, but in most cases it subsides within 1 to 3 days. Washing your face and wearing makeup are possible from the same day, but it is best to avoid heavy makeup on the day of the procedure. Above all, sun protection is important. Since the skin is sensitive after the procedure, you should carefully apply sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher.

Also, drinking enough water and keeping the skin well moisturized help greatly in maintaining the effect. This is because water is needed during the collagen regeneration process. I recommend drinking about 2 liters of water a day and using moisturizing products generously.

The effects generally last about 6 months to 1 year. There are individual differences depending on skin care, age, and lifestyle. To maintain the results, having retreatment every 6 months to 1 year can help you keep a more youthful skin condition.

If you have skin concerns

I hope the story of the patient I shared today was helpful to you as well. I want to say this to those who are struggling with skin sagging and reduced elasticity: skin changes that come with age are natural, but that does not mean you have to give up.

Shurink lifting is a proven procedure, and many people are experiencing satisfying results. However, what matters most is an accurate diagnosis and a customized treatment. When looking for a good lifting clinic in Sinnonhyeon, don’t just look at price or promotions. Carefully check whether they provide proper diagnosis and consultation, whether the device is genuine and well maintained, and whether there is a post-treatment care system in place.

We believe dermatologic care is not simply treatment, but a process of completing your beauty. Above all, what matters is natural-looking results without overdoing it, and long-term trust. Every skin is different, so our philosophy is to provide diagnosis and solutions tailored to each person’s skin.

I would also like to send encouragement to those who are having a hard time because of skin concerns. If you have lost confidence because of your skin, like the patient who said she was afraid to look in the mirror, now is the time to begin making a change. The firm skin and defined facial line regained through Shurink lifting can lead not only to a change in appearance, but also to confidence in everyday life.

We will always listen to your skin concerns and do our best to find the most suitable solution. If you have been looking for a good lifting clinic in Sinnonhyeon, please refer to what I shared today and choose carefully. With honest care and proven procedures, we will help protect your beauty.
