Hello.

I am Kim Jin-hyun, the chief director of You&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.

Shurink has become one of the skin-lifting procedures that is receiving a great deal of attention these days. Because it is known for helping improve skin elasticity, many people seek out Shurink, but at the same time, there are also those who hesitate while worrying about the number of shots before the procedure.

In particular,

“Can there still be enough change with a smaller number of shots?”

Many people ask this question. Since the cost increases as the number of shots goes up, it is naturally something people end up worrying about. Today, I will personally give you an answer to this.

  • The number of shots is not everything, but if it is insufficient, it is meaningless
  • Can I divide them among multiple areas?
  • What if the procedure is done without a customized plan?

“Even with fewer shots, can it still induce enough change?” In fact, the number of shots itself does not determine everything. However, there is certainly an appropriate standard for how many shots are needed depending on the structure of the face and the condition of the skin.

The number of shots needed varies depending on face size, skin thickness, and the degree of sagging.

For example, if the face is large or sagging is severe, more shots can be used to induce the desired level of skin lifting.

On the other hand, if the face area is small or elasticity is still being maintained to some extent, a relatively smaller number of shots may be enough.

The important thing is not simply whether the number of shots is high or low, but choosing the ‘appropriate number of shots’ that suits your own face.

If you choose a dermatology clinic based only on the number of shots advertised, and the procedure is carried out blindly without a preliminary diagnosis, the chance of getting insufficient results is high.

That is because if the procedure is performed with only a small number of shots regardless of skin condition, enough energy may not be delivered deep into the skin, making it unlikely that the desired lifting effect will be achieved.

I want to divide them among several areas. Is that okay?

“Then how about dividing the shots and applying a little to the entire face?”

This is also a common question in practice. However, dividing Shurink shots among multiple areas may not be very efficient. The reason is the way Shurink works: it delivers energy intensively to the fascial layer deep within the skin to help restore elasticity.

If a limited number of shots are spread across several areas, the energy and stimulation delivered to each area become weaker, making it easy to end up with a somewhat vague result of “a little here and there.”

In other words, rather than touching every area a little, it is better to identify the area you are most concerned about and ensure that the appropriate number of shots is sufficiently applied there so that proper results can be achieved.

What if the procedure is done without a customized plan?

That is why procedural planning is extremely important for Shurink. Not only the number of shots, but also the intensity of the shots, the depth, and a systematic customized plan that considers the skin structure of each facial area are absolutely necessary.

If you simply fire a large number of shots, or if you proceed without a customized plan in order to save shots, it is highly likely that the result will fall short of what you want.

Rather, the skin may not receive enough stimulation, leaving you with little change and only wasted time and money. Therefore, the intensity and depth of energy must be finely adjusted according to the skin structure and the degree of sagging, and the number of shots must also be meticulously planned by area.

Only through this kind of detailed planning can you truly receive a proper Shurink procedure.

Shurink Universe

The number of Shurink shots is not something that is automatically better just because it is lower or higher. It is essential to clearly diagnose the skin condition and precisely design the appropriate number of shots and energy according to the structure of the face.

That is why, when visiting a dermatology clinic, I recommend first having a thorough consultation about your skin condition and the areas of concern, and then proceeding with a customized plan that is suitable for you.

I hope you remember that skin lifting can show good results when there is an accurate diagnosis and a careful plan that matches it.

This has been Kim Jin-hyun, chief director of You&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.

Thank you^^
