What Skin Type Has the Best Synergy for Combined InMode and Shurink Procedures?

InMode Shurink

Hello. When considering lifting procedures, the two devices most often compared and mentioned are 'InMode' and 'Shurink.'

In consultations in the clinic, many people ask, "Is it better to get both procedures together?"

InMode Shurink

To begin with the conclusion, because the two procedures work through different energy principles and target different skin layers, their synergy is maximized when performed together on certain skin types.

Today, I will explain in detail from a medical perspective which skin type is most suitable for combined treatment.

1. InMode and Shurink: Differences in target layer and principle

2. InMode + Shurink: The optimal skin type where the effect is doubled

3. Precautions that must be checked before combined treatment

5. InMode and Shurink: Differences in target layer and principle

To understand the principle of combined treatment, you first need to know the difference between the two devices.

InMode: A procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy.

It has 'FORMA mode,' which induces collagen production in the dermal layer, and 'MINI FX mode,' which uses heat of 40 to 43 degrees to open fat cell membranes and induce fat cell death.

In other words, it is specialized for reducing unwanted facial fat such as under the chin and deep cheek fat while improving the firmness of the skin surface.

Shurink: A procedure that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to create thermal coagulation points in the deep SMAS layer of the skin, causing sagging tissue to contract.

Because it targets the deep layer addressed in surgical lifting, it shows excellent effects in fundamentally lifting overall cheek sagging and a collapsed facial contour.

2. InMode + Shurink: The optimal skin type where the effect is doubled

Those who benefit most from the combined effect of the two procedures are people with a type characterized by a fatty double chin accompanied by noticeable overall skin sagging.

This is also a common pattern in people in their 40s and 50s, when aging begins to progress in earnest.

If the face has a lot of fat and is heavily sagging, a single procedure alone may feel slightly lacking. In such cases, applying combined treatment creates the following synergy.

First, through InMode (MINI FX), the unnecessary heaviness pressing down on the face, such as chin fat and deep cheek fat, is broken down to make the facial contours lighter and more refined.

Then, the skin tissue relieved of heavy fat is strongly lifted from the deep root layer, the fascia, using Shurink.

As a result, fat reduction and strong lifting occur at the same time, maximizing the effect.

3. Precautions that must be checked before combined treatment

Even if the results are good, it is not the case that these two procedures should always be recommended together for everyone.

Caution for hollow cheeks: If someone has very little facial fat and receives InMode carelessly, there is a risk of side effects such as hollow cheeks.

For such people, procedures focused on firmness and lifting rather than InMode, which reduces fat, are more appropriate.

Procedure interval: It is fine to receive both procedures on the same day, but if the skin is thin and sensitive, or if you want to reduce the burden of procedural stimulation, it is recommended to receive them step by step with an interval of about 2 to 4 weeks.

More important than which excellent device is used is 'who performs the procedure.'

To achieve satisfactory results, it is necessary to comprehensively and accurately evaluate your skin thickness, amount of fat, and degree of sagging.

I hope you will establish the most suitable customized lifting plan for yourself through consultation with an experienced specialist who can carefully adjust the energy intensity by area to prevent side effects such as burns or hollow cheeks.
