What Is Shurink?

Shurink is a non-surgical ultrasound lifting treatment that delivers focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production and tightening.

Like other HIFU-based treatments, Shurink targets:

  • Deep dermal layers
  • SMAS layer (the structural support layer of the face)

Key characteristics

  • Non-invasive
  • No incisions or injections
  • Gradual, natural lifting results
  • Short recovery time

Why Shurink Is Popular in Seoul

Shurink aligns well with Seoul’s preference for natural-looking lifting and frequent maintenance treatments.

Reasons Shurink is widely chosen

  • Effective for early to moderate sagging
  • Short treatment time
  • Minimal downtime
  • Often used as a regular maintenance lift
  • More affordable compared to premium ultrasound devices

How Shurink Works

Shurink uses focused ultrasound energy to create controlled thermal points at specific depths.

What happens under the skin

  • Ultrasound energy heats targeted tissue points
  • Collagen fibers contract
  • New collagen production is stimulated
  • Skin gradually tightens and lifts over time

Because energy is delivered precisely, the surface skin remains largely unaffected.
