*Introduction to High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Lifting

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) lifting is a non-surgical method that precisely delivers high-intensity ultrasound energy to specific layers of the skin. This can help promote collagen regeneration and achieve a skin lifting effect.

Similar to how a magnifying glass focuses sunlight to a single point, ultrasound energy is concentrated to a desired depth within the skin, creating momentary high temperatures. This forms microscopic thermal coagulation points (TCPs) within the skin tissue.

These thermal coagulation points reach temperatures of approximately 60-70 degrees Celsius, stimulating only the target area while minimizing impact on surrounding tissues. This induces collagen denaturation and promotes the formation of new collagen, aiding in the skin's regeneration process.

A notable feature of HIFU is its ability to deliver energy to the deep SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), even though it is a non-invasive procedure. This SMAS layer is an anatomical structure similar to what is tightened during surgical facelift procedures.

When energy reaches the SMAS layer, immediate tissue contraction occurs, and collagen fiber remodeling is induced. This can lead to sustained, long-term lifting effects.

Furthermore, HIFU treatment causes minimal damage to the epidermis, resulting in a relatively short recovery period. Another advantage is that it can be considered for various skin types.

*Features of various cartridges (1.5mm/ 3.0mm/ 4.5mm/ 6.0mm)

1.5mm (Upper Dermis)

Can help reduce fine wrinkles on thin skin.

Considered for delicate areas such as around the eyes, glabella, and mouth wrinkles.

Can lead to improved skin texture, reduced pores, and enhanced skin tone.

3.0mm (Lower Dermis)

Focuses on improving skin elasticity in the cheeks and nasolabial fold areas.

Aims to improve early-stage skin sagging and enlarged pores.

Can help restore firmness to the skin.

4.5mm (SMAS Layer – Fascia Layer)

Considered for lifting sagging jowls, jawline, and double chin areas.

Focuses on inducing contraction of deep skin tissues to improve sagging.

When applied to moderate to severe skin sagging, positive changes can be expected.

6.0mm (Fat Tissue Layer)

Can be considered for areas with concentrated deep fat, such as a double chin.

This cartridge can also be used for body treatments on areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms.

Focuses on the fat layer to induce fat cell contraction and can help reduce unwanted volume.

The treatment purpose of each cartridge varies depending on the target skin layer.

The 1.5mm cartridge is primarily used for fine wrinkles and skin texture improvement, while the 3.0mm focuses on skin elasticity and tightening. The 4.5mm cartridge is used for substantial lifting effects, and the 6.0mm focuses on inducing contraction of the fat layer.

*Understanding DOT Mode and MP Mode

- DOT Mode allows for precise, point-by-point energy delivery, enabling delicate treatment planning. This can lead to immediate skin tissue contraction.

It can be delicately applied to contoured and sensitive areas such as around the eyes, mouth, chin, and nasolabial folds. Depending on the practitioner's skill, it can contribute to achieving more customized lifting results for each individual.

- MP Mode delivers energy linearly at regular intervals, allowing for quick application to larger areas. This can be utilized to induce overall facial lifting effects.

This mode can be considered when rapid treatment of a large area is desired, or when aiming to relatively reduce discomfort.

When DOT Mode and MP Mode are used together, a complementary synergy effect can be expected. Combining the overall contour lifting from MP Mode with the precise point lifting of DOT Mode can lead to even more detailed results.

*Experience the Shurink Universe at Our Clinic

The core of Shurink Universe treatment lies in

1. organically using various types of handpieces according to the situation, and

2. strategically combining DOT Mode and MP Mode during treatment.

This approach can create a synergistic effect.

For areas with curves and many contours on the face, a pen-type handpiece is used for delicate access, while MP Mode is utilized for relatively larger areas to perform efficient treatment.

Subsequently, DOT Mode is applied to key areas where a concentrated lifting effect is desired to finish the treatment. This delicate technique can lead to customized treatment that considers the overall balance and harmony of the face.

Customized lifting is carefully planned by delivering energy deeply, approaching delicately with a handpiece, and harmoniously utilizing various modes.

If you are looking for natural and subtle lifting without the burden of a recovery period, or if you want to improve overall skin elasticity and sagging, you may consider the Shurink Universe procedure.

Is Shurink Universe less effective than Ulthera?

In conclusion,

If the procedure is performed with the same output, depth, and number of shots,

In terms of effectiveness, it is difficult to say that there is a significant difference between Shurink Universe and Ulthera.

Both devices utilize High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology,

delivering concentrated thermal energy to the deep SMAS layer of the skin,

leading to a lifting effect through the principle of aiding collagen contraction and regeneration.

For example,

Shurink Universe (Dot Mode) 1.0j x 300 shots

If Ulthera also irradiates 300 shots at 1.0 joules, then both procedures deliver a total of 300 joules of energy to the skin.

The duration of HIFU procedure results depends less on the device's name than on

how well the skin tissue responds to the thermal coagulation reaction.

The extent to which skin tissue responds to thermal coagulation

can be seen as determined by the total amount of focused ultrasound energy.

Procedure Information

1. Shurink Universe is a procedure that utilizes High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). It focuses ultrasound energy on the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer of the face, which has lost elasticity and sagged due to aging. This helps promote collagen regeneration and contracts loosened tissues, thereby contributing to overall skin elasticity improvement. It is known as the 2nd generation Shurink lifting.

2. This device is characterized by a treatment speed that is more than twice as fast as the existing Shurink. Additionally, with the Ultra Booster pen-type handpiece, ultrasound energy can be precisely delivered to contoured areas such as the V-line, cheeks, and cheekbones, as well as delicate areas like the eye area, making it advantageous for more meticulous lifting management.

3. The increased irradiation speed shortens treatment time and reduces pain, allowing for a more comfortable procedure. The energy, which creates approximately 400 thermal coagulation points per shot, can be expected to enhance treatment effects.

Post-Procedure Precautions

ㆍIf your skin is thin, tip marks may appear on the treated area. These marks usually subside naturally over 1 to 2 weeks, so there is no need to worry excessively.

ㆍAfter the procedure, minor symptoms such as slight redness, warmth, throbbing, swelling, pain, or dental discomfort (toothache, sensitivity) may appear in the treated area. While there may be individual differences in these symptoms, most tend to gradually subside within 1 to 2 weeks, so there is no need to worry excessively.

Precise Customized Treatment: Balancing Pain and Expected Effects with Individual Output Adjustment

·         Since Shurink devices generally have a relatively lower default output than Ulthera, it is important to delicately adjust the output intensity according to each individual's skin condition and response during treatment.

During the procedure, we carefully monitor your comfort level and maintain continuous communication. We adjust the energy output accordingly to minimize discomfort and ensure excellent results.

Synergistic Effects Using Dot Output Mode (Ultherapy Method)

Shrink Universe devices typically deliver energy in a linear (line) fashion. Unlike the dot delivery method of Ultherapy devices, this has the characteristic of spreading thermal energy over a wider area.

However, Shrink also has a dot output mode similar to Ultherapy, and applying this to specific areas can achieve concentrated lifting improvement.

Many clinics do not frequently use dot mode due to the time required, but our medical team incorporates Ultherapy mode in necessary areas to provide a detailed and precise procedure.

The Importance of Individualized Custom Design – Precise Application Regardless of Shot Count

Even with fewer shots, we begin the procedure after a thorough design process to improve facial asymmetry and enhance the lifting effect in the desired direction.

Rather than simply relying on the number of shots, we carefully plan and design exactly where to deliver energy, aiming for satisfying results.

Treatment Technique for Delicately Adjusting Tip Direction

* The tip direction is precisely set.

We carefully consider the facial contours and the gravitational direction in which the skin sags, designing the energy delivery to be at an oblique or upward angle.

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

allowing for a more natural tightening effect.

Carefully considering the tip direction during a Shrink procedure is a crucial factor for achieving good results.

* 'Tilt & Push-up' Technique: Tilting the tip to push up the skin

Instead of simply contacting the skin perpendicularly with the tip,

we tilt the tip and gently push the skin upward during the procedure.

This treatment method guides the ultrasound coagulation points to form upward,

thereby achieving a lifting effect that makes the facial structure appear genuinely pulled upward.

Related studies have also reported that this technique positively influences lifting induction.

Considering these intricate details, we put our utmost effort into enhancing the treatment effect according to the design's intention, rather than stopping at a mere design.

Pain Management Methods During Intensity Adjustment for Effective Treatment

Pain that may occur during a Shrink procedure

can be reduced by using a vibration tool.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) lifting procedures,

by nature, may involve some discomfort or pain depending on the individual.

To minimize this discomfort, our medical team

actively uses a vibration tool.

Vibration stimulation is known to help reduce the brain's perception of pain signals,

and this principle is based on the ‘Gate Control Theory’.

This vibration therapy can contribute to reducing pain during the procedure.

Through this, we strive to minimize discomfort for those receiving treatment.

Our approach to pain management does not stop here.

Additionally, our medical team applies various methods to alleviate pain,

based on know-how gained through extensive clinical experience.

These include adjusting the treatment angle, the method of energy delivery, and techniques to reduce vibrations transmitted to the teeth,

all carefully managed down to the finest details.

Throughout the entire treatment process,

we carefully prepare to ensure our patients feel comfortable.

Some patients may hesitate to visit due to concerns about pain during treatment.

We strive to reduce this discomfort and help you anticipate positive changes after treatment.

We conduct treatments with this approach, prioritizing our patients' well-being.
