What is Shurink Lifting?

• Shurink uses focused ultrasound (HIFU – High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to target deep skin layers, especially the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-aponeurotic System) layer — the same layer many surgical facelifts address.
• It creates micro thermal coagulation points (TCPs) at various depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm, sometimes 6.0mm) to stimulate collagen regeneration and tighten/firm skin.
• The procedure is non-invasive: no incisions, no stitches, minimal downtime.

    Benefits / What it can do

• Lift and firm sagging skin on the face, neck, jawline (e.g., jowls), double-chin improvement.
• Improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, tighten loose skin around lower face and cheeks.
• Short procedure time and quick return to normal activities.

    Typical Session & Recovery

• Treatment time: Roughly 20-30 minutes for many clinics.
• Pain/discomfort: Generally mild; many clinics apply numbing cream or have the procedure described as “relatively painless”.
• Downtime: Minimal. You may have slight redness/swelling, but you can usually return to daily life right away.
• Results: You may notice some immediate tightening effect; fuller collagen-driven improvements develop over 2-3 months, with results lasting roughly 6-12 months (depending on skin condition, ageing, lifestyle).

    Things to Confirm / Ask at the Clinic

• Which version of Shurink or which hand-piece / cartridge depth they will use (e.g., 1.5/3.0/4.5/6mm) and whether it's the “second generation” (e.g., Shurink Universe) which offers faster/less painful treatments.
• How many “shots” or pulses will be applied and to which facial zones (you’ll get more value if many zones + sufficient intensity).
• Whether the treatment is done by a board-certified dermatologist/plastic surgeon, especially for contouring/lift zones.
• What post-treatment care is recommended (avoid sauna, hot baths, intense exercise for some period) and whether any complementary boosts are offered (ampoules, skin boosters).
• Before-and-after photos of similar patients with your skin type / sagging level to set realistic expectations.

    Suitability – Who it’s ideal for

• People with mild to moderate sagging — early signs of skin laxity, slight jawline jowl, loose neck skin.
• Those who want a non-surgical lift (no incisions) with minimal downtime.
• People with busy lives, or who want rejuvenation but aren’t ready for full surgical facelift.
• Suitable across many skin types (since ultrasound is deeper than surface lasers) — though always good to check for your specific skin health.

    Limitations / Things to be aware of

• If the sagging is severe (very loose skin, heavy jowls), then Shurink may have more limited effect and surgical options might be more appropriate.
• Some results require multiple sessions (depending on condition).
• Sustaining results: ageing continues, so to maintain effect you may need repeat treatments every year or combine with other procedures.
• Variation in equipment, operator skill, and clinic leads to variation in outcome — choose clinic carefully.

    Best Clinic Areas in Seoul

• The areas of Gangnam / Apgujeong and Myeongdong / Jung-gu are popular for aesthetic clinics offering Shurink. For example:
• Three Wishes Clinic – Myeongdong located in Myeongdong.
• MI&MI Korean Skin Clinic – Gangnam offers “Shurink Universe”.

    Final Take-away

If you’re looking for a non-surgical option to lift, firm and define your face (jawline, cheeks, neck) with minimal downtime, Shurink is a strong candidate in Seoul. Make sure to pick a reputable clinic, ask about the device version & treatment specifics, and set realistic expectations for what can be achieved non-surgically.
