“Which is better, InMode or Shurink?”

When consulting about lifting in Mokdong, this is one of the questions I hear most often.

“I’ve heard a lot about Shurink, but what is InMode?”

“Both are lifting treatments, but do they work differently?”

I always say this in situations like this.

“InMode and Shurink are not the same lifting device; they target different layers and have different purposes.

The choice depends on what problem you want to address on your face.”

1. Shurink: Lifting with ultrasound up to the SMAS layer

Shurink delivers energy to the deep layer of the skin, the SMAS layer, using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

It non-surgically stimulates the very same layer that is surgically pulled during a facelift.

• Effect: Lifting sagging skin, improving the jawline and facial contour

• Advantages: Short treatment time, relatively affordable cost

• Suitable for: Mild sagging in people in their 20s to 40s, first-time lifting patients

• Limitation: It does stimulate collagen regeneration, but its effect on skin texture and the fat layer is limited

2. InMode: Simultaneous stimulation of skin and fat with radiofrequency

InMode is a radiofrequency (RF) device that stimulates both the dermal layer and the fat layer at the same time.

Depending on the mode, it can be customized for elasticity, contour fat reduction, and skin texture improvement.

• FORMA: Improves skin elasticity and wrinkles

• MINIFX/FX: Reduces localized fat such as double chin fat and cheek fat

• LUMECCA: Improves pigmentation and redness (IPL mode)

When I explain InMode, I describe it as a “multi-purpose device that can do lifting, fat management, and skin texture improvement all at once.”

4. Frequently asked questions in the consultation room

Q1. Can I get both treatments together?

→ Yes. For example, combining Shurink to lift the deep layer (SMAS) and InMode to manage fat and skin texture can create a synergistic effect.

Q2. How long do the effects last?

→ Shurink: Generally 3–6 months after one treatment, and up to 1 year after three treatments

→ InMode: About 6 months after one treatment, and up to 1.5 years after three treatments

Q3. Which one hurts more?

→ Shurink causes a brief stinging sensation, while InMode feels like it gently warms the skin and is said to be more comfortable.

5. Cases I recommend

The criteria I actually recommend in consultations are as follows.

• In your 20s to 30s, first lifting treatment → Start lightly with Shurink

• In your 30s to 40s, concerned about both contour and skin texture → Focus on InMode

• After your 40s, if reduced elasticity and sagging cheek fat are both present → Combine InMode + Ultherapy/Thermage

• If you want fast results but are concerned about downtime → Choose InMode

6. What I emphasize during consultations

I always say this.

“Shurink focuses on lifting the skin, while InMode is a multitasker that refines the skin and organizes the contour.”

Although they are grouped under the same word, “lifting,”

The approach changes depending on the patient’s skin thickness, degree of sagging, and volume condition.

That is why I examine the face in person, check skin elasticity and fat distribution, and then explain which device is suitable.

If you are wondering whether to get InMode or Shurink in Mokdong,

InMode, Shurink, laser lifting, Mokdong dermatology, plastic surgery

You first need to determine whether the main problem is skin sagging,

or whether you also need management for fat and skin texture.

In lifting, the device name is not what matters; the key is designing the treatment to fit your face.

Real change begins with an accurate diagnosis, not with numbers and names.
