[Flab Management While Lying Comfortably] Body Shurink

Kkeut Clinic's Shurink Universe

*What is focused ultrasound lifting?

Ultrasound lifting (HIFU: High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical lifting technology that utilizes high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to precisely deliver energy to specific layers of the skin, thereby inducing collagen regeneration and lifting effects.

Just as a magnifying glass focuses sunlight to ignite a fire, ultrasound energy is concentrated at a specific depth within the skin, creating an instantaneous high-temperature state, which forms microscopic thermal coagulation points (TCPs) within the skin tissue.

These coagulation points are exposed to high temperatures of approximately 60-70 degrees Celsius, stimulating only the specific points where heat is concentrated without damaging surrounding tissues, thereby promoting collagen denaturation and regeneration.

In particular, HIFU is the only non-invasive device capable of reaching the deep SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) of the skin, which is the same anatomical structure pulled during surgical facelifts.

When energy is delivered to the SMAS layer, immediate tissue contraction occurs along with remodeling of collagen fibers, leading to long-lasting lifting effects.

Furthermore, HIFU causes minimal damage to the surface even when passing through the epidermis, resulting in less downtime and making it applicable to various skin types.

*Effects by Cartridge (1.5mm/ 3.0mm/ 4.5mm/ 6.0mm/ 9.0mm)

-1.5mm (Upper Dermis)

Improvement of fine wrinkles on thin skin

Targets wrinkles around the eyes, glabella, and mouth

Skin texture/pore reduction, tone correction

​-3.0mm (Lower Dermis)

Improved elasticity in cheeks/nasolabial folds

Targets early sagging, pore tightening

Restores skin firmness from within

​

-4.5mm (SMAS layer)

Lifting for jowls, jawline, and double chin

Deep tissue contraction and improvement of sagging

Effective for moderate to severe sagging

-6.0mm (Upper Body Fat Layer)

Targets the upper fat layer in body areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs

Effective for cellulite improvement and reduction of fat volume

Suitable for areas with reduced skin elasticity and localized fat

-9.0mm (Deep Body Fat Layer)

Delivers energy to deep fat layers such as thick abdominal fat, inner thighs, and around the buttocks

Expected effects include deep fat layer contraction and body slimming

Focuses on medium to long-term fat remodeling rather than immediate tightening

​Each cartridge has a different treatment purpose depending on the target layer.

The 1.5mm cartridge is excellent for improving fine wrinkles and skin texture, the 3.0mm focuses on elasticity and tightening, and the 4.5mm is used for actual lifting effects.

The 6.0mm tip, mainly used for the body, acts on the upper fat layer for fat reduction and elasticity improvement, while the 9.0mm tip is used for deep fat decomposition.

*DOT Mode and MP Mode

-DOT mode allows for precise energy delivery point by point, enabling delicate treatment design and providing excellent immediate tightening effects.

It can be safely used on delicate and curved areas such as around the eyes, mouth, chin, and nasolabial folds, and skilled practitioners can leverage its advantages for customized lifting.

-MP mode delivers energy linearly at regular intervals, acting quickly over large areas and being effective in inducing overall lifting effects.

It is efficient for beginners or when rapid lifting effects are desired over large areas, and the pain is relatively less.

DOT and MP modes have significant synergistic effects when used together, and a combination of overall contour lifting (MP) + point lifting (DOT) can yield more precise results.

*Kkeut Clinic's Shurink Universe

The true value of Shurink Universe

1. By organically utilizing different handpieces,

2. And strategically combining Dot Mode and MP Mode,

It is truly perfected.

For areas with many curves and contours, precisely design with a pen-type handpiece, efficiently cover broad areas with MP Mode, and then intensively apply Dot Mode to the key lifting points. This approach can be described as a delicate technique that sculpts the entire face like a work of art.

"The completion of customized lifting, from energy depth and handpiece delicacy to mode harmony, is not a simple procedure but an elaborate design."

We highly recommend Shurink Universe treatment for those who desire natural and delicate lifting without downtime, or who wish to improve overall skin elasticity and sagging.

Is Shurink Universe less effective than Ultherapy?

To give you the conclusion first,

If the treatment is performed under the same conditions (output, depth, number of shots),

There is no significant difference in effectiveness between Shurink Universe and Ultherapy.

Both devices utilize High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to

Deliver thermal energy to deep skin tissues (SMAS layer),

And produce a lifting effect based on the principle of inducing collagen contraction and regeneration.

For example,

Shurink Universe (Dot Mode) 1.0j x 300 shots

In the case of Ultherapy 1.0j x 300 shots, both accumulate a total of 300j of energy.

The duration of HIFU treatment depends more on

'How the skin tissue responds to the thermal coagulation reaction'.

And how much the skin tissue responds to the thermal coagulation reaction

Is determined by the total amount of focused ultrasound energy.

Treatment Information

1. Shurink Universe is a second-generation Shurink lifting treatment that utilizes High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to focus energy on the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer of faces with reduced elasticity and sagging due to aging, thereby regenerating collagen and contracting lax tissues to help improve overall elasticity.

2. The treatment can be performed more than twice as fast as the original Shurink, and the Ultra Booster pen-type handpiece allows for more meticulous lifting by delivering ultrasound energy more precisely to the V-line, cheeks, cheekbones, as well as curved areas and around the eyes.

3. The faster laser irradiation speed shortens treatment time, allows for more comfortable treatment with less pain, and the powerful energy, which generates approximately 400 thermal coagulation points per shot, has upgraded the effectiveness.

Post-treatment Precautions

• ㆍIf your skin is thin, tip marks may appear on the treated area. These tip marks will gradually and naturally subside in about 1-2 weeks, so there's no need to worry too much.
• ㆍAfter the treatment, mild symptoms such as (slight redness, warmth, throbbing, swelling, pain, toothache, tooth sensitivity) may occur in the treated area. If they do, there may be individual differences, but they usually subside within 1-2 weeks, so there's no need to worry too much.

Subtle Difference 1: Personalized Output Adjustment – Treatment Considering Pain and Efficacy

• Since Shurink's basic output is weaker than Ulthera's, it's crucial to meticulously adjust the output intensity for each individual during treatment.
• At Kkeut Clinic, we continuously communicate with our clients during treatment, adjusting the output in consideration of their pain level to achieve optimal results.

Subtle Difference 2: Combining Ulthera Mode (Dot Output) – For More Powerful Effects

• Shurink Universe fundamentally irradiates in a linear (line) type, which means its heat disperses differently from Ulthera (dot irradiation).
• However, Shurink also has an Ulthera mode (dot output), which, when utilized, can provide strong lifting effects in specific areas.
• Most clinics do not add dot output because it takes a long time, but Kkeut Clinic adds Ulthera mode to necessary areas for more precise treatments.

Subtle Difference 3: Design is Essential – Precise Application to Necessary Areas, Even for 100 or 200 Shots

• Even with fewer shots, we perform a thorough design before treatment to improve facial asymmetry and achieve the desired lifting effect.
• It's not just about the number of shots; we plan and design precisely where to irradiate to create optimal results.

Subtle Difference 4: Delicate Tip Direction Adjustment

* Precise Tip Direction Setting

We design the irradiation to be diagonal or upward, considering facial contours and the direction of gravity.

This guides the energy to act in the direction where lifting is needed,

creating a more natural and definite tightening effect.

Kkeut Clinic is the only clinic that considers the Shurink tip direction when performing treatments.

* Tilt & Push-up Technique Application

Instead of simply contacting the tip vertically,

we perform the treatment by tilting and pushing the skin upwards.

During this process, the ultrasonic coagulation points are formed in an upward direction,

thereby creating a lifting effect where the facial structure is actually pulled upwards.

Studies have also confirmed that this technique numerically induces significant lifting.

By considering such details, we don't just focus on designing; we perform treatments to ensure effective results as per the design.

Subtle Difference 5: Swelling Care Included – Dangguisusan Prescription for Faster Recovery

• Swelling may occur after Shurink treatment, and it's important to alleviate it quickly.
• At Kkeut Clinic, we provide the renowned herbal medicine ‘Dangguisusan,’ which effectively reduces swelling, without additional cost, helping to quickly alleviate swelling and enable faster recovery.

Subtle Difference 6: How We Manage Pain from Intensity Adjustment for Optimal Results.

Shurink pain,

is definitely different with a vibrator.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) lifting

is inherently accompanied by some degree of pain.

Kkeut Clinic, to reduce even that slight pain,

actively utilizes a vibrator (Vibration tool).

Vibration stimulation reduces the brain's perception of pain

based on the ‘Gate Control Theory’,

and many patients actually

feel that it's “definitely less painful”.

In addition,

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, built on extensive clinical expertise,

employs various methods to reduce pain.

From treatment angles and irradiation methods to techniques for reducing tooth vibrations,

we meticulously adjust every small detail

from the moment you receive treatment to the realization of its effects,

we design the experience to be as comfortable as possible.

Don't avoid treatment due to pain.

Less pain, more satisfaction.

That is how Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic performs treatments.
