Kkeuthan Clinic's Shurink Universe

*What is Focused Ultrasound Lifting?

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

Just as a magnifying glass focuses sunlight to ignite a fire, ultrasound energy is concentrated at specific depths within the skin, creating momentary high-temperature points, which in turn form microscopic thermal coagulation points (TCPs) within the skin tissue.

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

Notably, HIFU is the only non-invasive device capable of reaching the deep SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) of the skin, which is the same anatomical structure targeted and lifted in surgical facelift procedures.

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

Furthermore, even when HIFU passes through the epidermis, there is minimal damage to the surface, resulting in little downtime, and it has the advantage of being 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 (between eyebrows), and mouth

Skin texture/pore reduction, tone correction

-​3.0mm (Lower Dermis)

Improves elasticity in the cheeks/nasolabial folds

Targets early sagging, pore tightening

Restores inner skin firmness

​

-4.5mm (SMAS layer)

Lifts deep 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 both 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 mid-to-long term fat remodeling rather than immediate tightening

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

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

The 6.0mm tip, mainly used for the body, acts on the upper fat layer to reduce fat and improve elasticity, while the 9.0mm tip is used for deep fat breakdown.

*DOT Mode and MP Mode

-DOT Mode allows precise energy delivery point by point, enabling delicate treatment planning, and provides excellent immediate contraction effects.

It can be safely used on delicate and contoured areas such as around the eyes, mouth, chin, and nasolabial folds, and the advantages of customized lifting can be maximized by experienced practitioners.

-MP Mode delivers energy linearly at regular intervals, acting quickly over a large area, and is effective in inducing overall lifting effects.

It is efficient for beginner practitioners 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 in combination, and a combination of full contour lifting (MP) + point lifting (DOT) can achieve more refined results.

*Kkeuthan Clinic's Shurink Universe

The true value of Shurink Universe

1. Organically utilizing different handpieces,

2. Strategically combining Dot Mode and MP Mode

is truly achieved.

For areas with many curves and contours, precisely design with a pen-type handpiece, then efficiently cover large areas with MP Mode, and finally, intensively apply Dot Mode to 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, encompassing the depth of energy, the delicacy of the handpiece, and the harmony of modes, is not a simple procedure, but an elaborate design."

We highly recommend the Shurink Universe treatment to 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 get straight to the point,

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 tissues (SMAS layer) within the skin,

and produce lifting effects 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 results depends less on the ‘device name’ than

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 2nd generation Shurink lifting treatment that utilizes High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver concentrated energy to the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer of the face, which has lost elasticity and sagged due to aging. It helps regenerate collagen and contract loose tissues, thereby improving overall elasticity.

2. Treatment is possible at more than twice the speed of the original Shurink, and the Ultra Booster pen-type handpiece allows for more precise delivery of ultrasound energy to curved areas, the eye area, V-line, cheeks, and cheekbones, enabling more thorough lifting.

3. The faster laser irradiation speed shortens treatment time, and reduced pain makes for a more comfortable procedure. With powerful energy generating approximately 400 thermal coagulation points per shot, the effects have been upgraded.

Precautions After Treatment

• ㆍIf your skin is thin, tip marks may appear on the treated area. If tip marks occur, they will gradually fade naturally over approximately 1-2 weeks, so there is no need to worry too much.
• ㆍAfter the procedure, mild symptoms such as (slight redness, burning, throbbing, swelling, pain, toothache, tooth sensitivity) may occur in the treated area. If they do, while there are individual differences, they usually subside within 1-2 weeks, so there is no need to worry too much.

The Subtle Difference 1 Customized Output Adjustment – Treatment Considering Both Pain and Efficacy

• Shrink is inherently less powerful than Ulthera, so it's crucial to meticulously adjust the output intensity for each individual during the procedure.
• At Kkeut Clinic, we continuously communicate with our clients during the procedure, adjusting the output based on their pain level to ensure optimal results.

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

• Shrink Universe typically uses linear (line) type irradiation, which disperses heat differently from Ulthera (dot irradiation).
• However, Shrink also has an Ulthera mode (dot output), which can be utilized to expect a strong lifting effect in specific areas.
• Most clinics do not add dot output because it takes longer, but at Kkeut Clinic, we add Ulthera mode to necessary areas for a more precise treatment.

The Subtle Difference 3 Design is Essential – Even for 100 or 200 Shots, Applied Precisely to Necessary Areas

• Even with fewer shots, we perform the procedure after thorough design to improve facial asymmetry and achieve the desired lifting effect.
• We don't just focus on the number of shots, but plan and design exactly which areas to irradiate to create optimal results.

The Subtle Difference 4 Precise Tip Direction Adjustment

* Accurate Tip Direction Setting

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

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

creating a more natural and definite tightening effect.

Kkeut Clinic is the only one that considers the direction of the Shrink tip during treatment.

* Application of Tilt & Push-up Technique

Instead of simply contacting the tip vertically,

we treat by tilting and pushing the skin upwards.

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

creating a lifting effect that actually pulls the facial structure upwards.

Studies have confirmed that this technique induces statistically significant lifting.

We consider even these details, not just putting meaning into design, but performing the treatment to achieve effects according to the design.

The Subtle Difference 5 Includes Swelling Care – Angelica Gigas Soup Prescription for Faster Recovery

• Swelling may occur after Shrink treatment, and it is important to reduce it quickly.
• At Kkeut Clinic, we provide the traditional herbal medicine 'Dangguisusan', which effectively reduces swelling, without additional cost, helping to reduce swelling quickly and enable faster recovery.

The Subtle Difference 6 This is how we manage pain caused by intensity adjustment for effectiveness.

Shrink Pain,

It's definitely different with just one vibrator.

High-intensity focused ultrasound lifting

inherently involves some minor pain.

Kkeut Clinic actively utilizes a vibrator (Vibration tool) to reduce even that slight pain.

Vibration stimulation is based on the 'Gate Control Theory',

which reduces the brain's perception of pain, and

many patients actually

feel that “it definitely hurts less.”

“확실히 덜 아프다”고 체감하고 계십니다.

In addition,

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, based on extensive clinical know-how,

combines various methods to reduce pain.

Including treatment angles, irradiation methods, and techniques to alleviate tooth vibrations,

we meticulously adjust even the smallest details,

from the moment you receive treatment until you see the results,

to ensure you experience it as comfortably as possible.

Don't avoid treatment due to pain.

Less pain, more satisfaction.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic treats patients this way.
