Hello. I am Lee Young-soo, the chief director of Troy Plastic Surgery, where I provide lifting treatments near Mokdong Station.

When consulting with patients about lifting in the clinic, there is a common question they ask very often.

“Doctor, is InMode more effective than Shurink?”

“Does Shurink last longer? I’ll just choose whichever people say is good.”

But from a medical team’s perspective, these two procedures are not competing devices to see which is “stronger.”

From the start, they are procedures with completely different “stimulation methods” for delivering energy and different “target layers” inside the skin.

Lifting is not simply shopping for a trendy device name.

“Why does my face look saggy in the first place?”

Identifying the real cause is the first step.

✔ Is the elasticity of the skin surface itself becoming loose and flimsy?

✔ Is unnecessary fat (padding) building up thickly and making it feel heavy?

✔ Have the structures that support the face weakened, causing the cheeks to move downward?

✔ Has the contour of the once-sharp jawline itself collapsed?

Depending on these causes, the approach of the procedure that is right for you changes completely.

2. Features of InMode

The principle of InMode for easier understanding

InMode is a device that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to apply hot thermal stimulation to the dermis and the shallow fat layer.

✔ Collagen remodeling (increased skin density)

✔ Induction of a reaction that eliminates the shallow fat layer

✔ Aimed at refining a blurred jawline and contour

Because it works by tightening the skin surface as if ironing it smooth and firm,

Mokdong Station InMode is especially popular among people who want to smooth and define a thick double chin or jawline.

3. Features of Shurink

Skin image for easier understanding

On the other hand, Shurink uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy as if concentrating light with a magnifying glass, giving strong stimulation to the SMAS layer, the fascia layer that supports the face from deep within.

✔ Tightening of the deep support structure (pillar)

✔ Strong thermal contraction response of skin tissue

✔ Improvement of sagging in the cheeks and jawline

Because it works by pulling loosened and sagging structures upward and firmly lifting them,

it is considered first when the support structure itself has weakened and visible sagging has developed.

4. When to consider InMode

InMode Shurink

• When the fat under the chin or on the cheeks is relatively thick

• When there is a contour, but the lower face looks thick and dull

• When the skin becomes thinner and feels loose and flimsy without firmness

When the issue is less about sagging and more about reducing unnecessary fat while also tightening skin elasticity, InMode is very suitable.

5. When Shurink becomes the standard

InMode Shurink

• When there is little facial fat and the skin is thin

• When the face seems to have generally drooped downward even without weight gain

• When sagging around the mouth, buccal fat, or jawline is a concern

When a deep-layer contraction approach that lifts the face’s position itself is urgently needed rather than just improving the skin surface texture, Shurink is closer to the answer.

6. Is it better to do both at the same time?

InMode and Shurink devices

When consulting about Mokdong Station InMode vs Shurink, many people also ask whether it is okay to do both together.

If facial aging is a complex condition where sagging and fat accumulation have occurred at the same time,

sequential combination treatment, such as using Shurink to rebuild the weakened support structure and InMode to organize unnecessary fat, can create excellent synergy.

However, if you force both because others say they are good, and excessive stimulation is applied, it may instead lead to unwanted hollowing of the cheeks or severe dryness.

Careful control of intensity and number of sessions by the medical staff, taking the patient’s skin thickness into account, is essential.

7. When can you feel the effect?

InMode → Rather than immediately after the procedure, the destroyed fat is discharged over 2 to 4 weeks, and collagen responds, gradually softening the contour.

Shurink → There is an immediate tightening sensation from thermal contraction right after the procedure,

and then over 2 to 3 months, collagen regenerates and the actual line becomes more defined.

Neither procedure magically shaves the jawline right away; lifting is completed as your skin tissue responds over time.

8. Q&A

InMode Shurink

Q. Mokdong Station InMode vs Shurink, is there a big difference in how long the results last?

A. Rather than a difference between the two devices, it depends on each person’s skin elasticity and the speed of aging.

Usually, it is natural to approach it as ongoing maintenance at intervals of about 6 months to 1 year.

Q. Which one is more painful?

A. Because the way energy is delivered is different, the sensation of stimulation is also different.

InMode may feel like a hot burning sensation and a strong pinching feeling, while Shurink may feel tingling and sore around the deeper bones under the skin.

The intensity can be adjusted sufficiently.

Q. What if my face is already sagging too much?

A. If there is severe structural sagging and deep wrinkles have become fixed, a laser device procedure alone may not provide a noticeable effect.

In that case, surgical methods such as thread lifting or a facelift may be more appropriate.

A word from the doctor

The key to a successful lifting treatment is not “which expensive and trendy device you choose.”

The only standard is “how accurately you analyzed the cause of aging in your face.”

Summary: If we put the choice between Mokdong Station InMode vs Shurink into one sentence, it would be this.

InMode Shurink

✔ Concerns centered on blurred, spread-out fat/density → InMode (tightening)

✔ Concerns centered on collapsed sagging/position → Shurink (lifting)

This is the clear basic direction.

However, the final decision varies subtly depending on the patient’s skin thickness, amount of fat, and degree of sagging.

The answer is not the list of devices a clinic has, but the condition of the patient’s face reflected in the mirror right now.
