Why You Should Get Body Shurink at Kkeuthan Clinic

*Understanding Focused Ultrasound Lifting

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) lifting is a non-surgical method that precisely delivers ultrasound energy to specific layers of the skin. This can induce collagen regeneration and lead to skin lifting.

Just as a magnifying glass focuses sunlight to a single point, ultrasound energy is concentrated at a specific depth within the skin, generating high heat instantaneously. This process forms microscopic thermal coagulation points (TCPs) within the skin tissue.

These coagulation points are exposed to heat of approximately 60-70 degrees Celsius, stimulating only the heat-focused area without significantly affecting surrounding tissues. This helps promote collagen denaturation and the production of new collagen.

In particular, HIFU treatment is one of the non-invasive devices that can reach the deep layer of the skin, the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). This SMAS layer is the same anatomical structure pulled during surgical facelift procedures.

When energy is delivered to the SMAS layer, tissues contract immediately, and the reconstruction of collagen fibers becomes active. This can lead to long-term lifting effects.

HIFU can be performed with minimal damage to the epidermis, resulting in less recovery burden. It also has the advantage of being applicable to various skin types.

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

-1.5mm (Upper Dermis Targeting)

Can help improve fine wrinkles on thin skin.

Used for managing wrinkles around the eyes, glabella, and mouth.

Aims for skin texture refinement, pore reduction, and overall tone correction.

-​3.0mm (Lower Dermis Targeting)

Helps improve elasticity in the cheeks and nasolabial folds.

Suitable for early skin sagging management and contributes to pore tightening.

Can help restore firmness within the skin.

​

-4.5mm (SMAS Layer Targeting)

Applied for lifting management of deep jowls, jawline, and double chin.

Can help improve sagging by inducing contraction of deep tissues.

Can be considered for moderate to severe sagging.

-6.0mm (Upper Body Fat Layer Targeting)

Delivers energy to the upper fat layer of body areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs.

Can expect cellulite improvement and reduction in fat volume.

Can be considered for areas with reduced skin elasticity and localized fat.

-9.0mm (Deep Body Fat Layer Targeting)

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

Can induce contraction of deep fat layers to expect a body slimming effect.

Focuses on long-term fat remodeling rather than immediate tightening.

Each cartridge has a different treatment objective depending on the target skin layer.

The 1.5mm cartridge helps improve fine wrinkles and skin texture, while the 3.0mm focuses on elasticity and tightening management. The 4.5mm cartridge is used to achieve substantial lifting effects.

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

*Utilization of DOT Mode and MP Mode

DOT mode precisely delivers energy point by point, allowing for delicate treatment design. This can lead to immediate contraction effects.

It can be carefully applied to contoured and sensitive areas such as around the eyes, mouth, chin, and nasolabial folds. The more experienced the practitioner, the more the advantages of customized lifting can be realized.

MP mode performs linear scanning at regular intervals, acting quickly on a wide area. This can help induce an overall lifting effect.

It is useful for quickly treating large areas and is characterized by relatively less pain compared to DOT mode.

Using DOT mode and MP mode together can create a synergistic effect. The combination of overall contour lifting (MP) and point lifting (DOT) helps achieve more precise results.

What is Kkeuthan Clinic's Shurink Universe?

The effects of Shurink Universe treatment are

By effectively using various handpieces,

and strategically combining Dot Mode and MP Mode,

you can expect even more satisfying results.

Curved areas of the face can be treated delicately with a pen-type handpiece. For larger areas, MP Mode can efficiently deliver energy, and Dot Mode can be concentrated on areas particularly in need of lifting. This approach allows for precise treatment planning tailored to each part of the face.

By harmoniously utilizing energy penetration depth, handpiece types, and mode selection, you can expect personalized lifting. This is a planned approach that goes beyond mere treatment.

Shurink Universe treatment can be suggested to those who desire natural lifting without significant disruption to daily life, or those considering overall improvement in skin elasticity and sagging.

Is Shurink Universe less effective than Ultherapy?

From a medical perspective,

when treated under identical conditions (energy output, penetration depth, number of shots delivered),

the difference in effectiveness between Shurink Universe and Ultherapy treatments may not be significant.

Both devices use High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology.

By delivering thermal energy to deep skin tissues, specifically the SMAS layer,

it induces collagen contraction and regeneration, which can lead to improved lifting.

For example,

Shurink Universe (Dot Mode) 1.0j x 300 shots

Compared to Ultherapy 1.0j x 300 shots, both cases can accumulate a total of 300j of energy.

The duration of HIFU treatment results depends less on the name of the device used

and more on how well an individual's skin tissue responds to the thermal coagulation process.

The degree of thermal coagulation response in skin tissue

is related to the total amount of ultrasound energy delivered.

Treatment Information

1. Shurink Universe is a lifting treatment that utilizes High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). By concentrating energy on the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer of the face, which has lost elasticity and sagged due to aging, it helps stimulate collagen production and contracts loosened tissues, thereby improving overall elasticity. It can be considered the next-generation model of Shurink.

2. It features faster treatment speed compared to previous Shurink models. By utilizing the Ultra Booster pen-type handpiece, ultrasound energy can be precisely delivered not only to the V-line, cheeks, and cheekbones, but also to delicate areas with many curves, such as around the eyes, allowing for more meticulous treatment.

3. Improved ultrasound delivery speed shortens treatment time and reduces pain, allowing for a relatively comfortable procedure. Furthermore, it delivers energy by creating approximately 400 thermal coagulation points per shot.

Post-Procedure Precautions

• For those with thin skin, temporary tip marks may appear on the treated area. These marks usually improve gradually and naturally over 1-2 weeks.
• After the procedure, mild reactions such as slight redness, warmth, throbbing, swelling, pain, toothache, or tooth sensitivity may occur in the treated area. While these symptoms vary among individuals, most tend to gradually improve within 1-2 weeks.

The Slight Difference 1 Customized Output Adjustment, Considering Pain and Efficacy

• During Shurink treatments, it is crucial to meticulously adjust the output intensity, taking into account each patient's skin characteristics and reactions.
• Here, we continuously communicate with our patients during the procedure to assess their comfort levels. Based on this, we adjust the output to ensure a comfortable yet satisfying outcome.

The Slight Difference 2 Intensified Effects with Ultherapy Mode (Dot Output) Combination

• Shurink Universe primarily delivers energy in a linear (line) fashion, characterized by a broad dispersion of heat.
• However, the Shurink device also includes a dot output mode similar to Ultherapy. Utilizing this mode can achieve more concentrated lifting effects in specific areas.
• Here, for effective lifting, we may incorporate Ultherapy mode (dot output) when necessary, performing the procedure with even greater precision.

The Slight Difference 3 Precise Design is Essential, Accurate Application to Target Areas

• Even with fewer treatment shots, we undergo a meticulous pre-procedure design process to improve facial asymmetry and achieve the desired lifting results.
• Rather than merely relying on a fixed number of shots, we meticulously plan and design exactly where to deliver the energy to ensure satisfactory outcomes.

The Slight Difference 4 Delicate Tip Direction Adjustment

* Precise Tip Direction Setting

Considering facial contours and the effects of gravity, energy is designed to be delivered in an oblique or upward direction.

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

Through this, more natural lifting results can be expected.

During Shurink procedures, we meticulously consider even the direction of the tip.

* Tilt & Push-up Technique Application

Instead of simply contacting the skin perpendicularly with the tip,

the procedure is performed by slightly tilting the tip and pushing the skin upwards.

This method guides the ultrasound coagulation points to form in an upward direction.

Through this, a lifting effect, as if the facial tissues are being pulled upwards, can be expected.

Related studies have also reported that this technique can significantly contribute to lifting.

We take these detailed aspects into consideration, approaching the procedure not just with design, but ensuring that the design translates into actual results.

The Slight Difference 5 Pain Management Through Intensity Adjustment for Efficacy

Regarding pain during Shurink procedures,

we can help reduce pain by utilizing a vibrator.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) lifting procedures

inherently may involve some degree of pain during the treatment.

To minimize such discomfort for our patients,

we actively use a vibrator (Vibration tool) if requested.

Vibration stimulation modulates how the brain perceives pain,

based on the 'Gate Control Theory'.

This method

can have a positive effect on pain relief.

Furthermore,

our medical institution, based on years of clinical experience,

applies various methods in combination to alleviate our patients' pain.

Factors such as treatment angle, energy delivery method, and tooth vibration reduction technology are crucial in minimizing discomfort.

By meticulously adjusting these detailed aspects,

from the entire treatment process to its results,

we carefully ensure our patients feel as comfortable as possible.

If you have hesitated to receive treatment due to concerns about pain,

we strive to achieve satisfactory results while minimizing discomfort.

This is our clinic's approach to patient care.
