About HIFU Focused Ultrasound Lifting

This treatment method uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to create thermal points in specific layers of the skin, which can stimulate collagen regeneration and provide a lifting effect.

Just like focusing sunlight with a magnifying glass, thermal coagulation points (TCP) are created within the skin tissue.

These coagulation points reach a high temperature of approximately 60-70 degrees Celsius, stimulating only the targeted areas while minimizing impact on surrounding tissues, thereby aiding in collagen denaturation and regeneration.

In particular, HIFU is a non-invasive device that can reach the deep layer of the skin, the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system).

When energy is delivered to the SMAS layer, it induces immediate tissue contraction and remodeling of collagen fibers, which can lead to long-term lifting effects.

Furthermore, it causes minimal damage to the skin surface, resulting in a short recovery period and making it applicable to various skin types.

Expected Effects per Cartridge (1.5mm/ 3.0mm/ 4.5mm)

1.5mm 

Can help improve fine wrinkles on thin skin.

Applicable to wrinkles around the eyes, glabella, and mouth.

Expected to improve skin texture, reduce pores, and correct skin tone.

3.0mm 

Can be used to improve elasticity in the cheeks and nasolabial folds.

Can be applied to early stages of skin sagging and for pore tightening.

Helps restore elasticity within the skin.

​

4.5mm

Can be applied to deep cheek fat, jawline, and double chin lifting.

Can contribute to improving sagging by inducing contraction of deep skin tissues.

Positive results can be expected for moderate to severe skin sagging.

Features by Treatment Mode (Mode Type)

The N Mode precisely irradiates energy one point at a time, allowing for delicate treatment design and immediate tightening effects.

When utilized by experienced medical professionals, it can further enhance the benefits of personalized lifting.

The MP Mode linearly irradiates at regular intervals, acting quickly over a wide area and helping to induce an overall lifting effect.

This mode is efficient for achieving quick lifting effects over large areas, and it also has the advantage of relatively less pain.

When Booster Mode and F Mode are used in combination, synergy can be expected, and the combination of full contour lifting (F) and point lifting (Booster) can help achieve more refined results.

For areas with many curves and contours, a pen-type handpiece is used for precise design,

while large areas are efficiently treated using the MP Mode.

The treatment is performed by intensively applying the N Mode to key lifting points.

This can be described as a delicate treatment method that considers harmonious lifting for the entire face.

Adjusting the energy depth, delicate use of the handpiece, and the appropriate combination of modes are crucial factors for personalized lifting, requiring meticulous planning beyond a simple procedure.

We recommend Shrink Universe treatment to those who desire natural lifting with minimal recovery burden, or who wish to improve overall skin elasticity and sagging.

Is Shrink Universe less effective compared to Ulthera?

Shrink Universe, which involves relatively less pain and considers periodic treatments,

and Ulthera, which aims for a relatively stronger effect with a single treatment, can be seen as lifting procedures with different approaches.

Both devices fundamentally use the same principle.

The duration of HIFU treatment effects depends more on factors other than the specific device name itself.

Results may vary depending on how your skin tissue responds to the thermal coagulation process.

The success of the treatment depends more on how precisely sufficient energy is delivered to your skin, rather than just the machine's performance.

Treatment Benefits

• 01. It can deliver concentrated energy using over 400 thermal coagulation points.
• 02. With two types of ultrasound modes, it can be adjusted and applied to suit your skin condition or the treatment area.
• 03. You can expect delicate lifting, even for contoured areas of the face or those requiring precision.
• 04. The bidirectional application method can shorten treatment time, reduce discomfort, and help improve skin elasticity.

Recommended for These Concerns

• 01. Those who are concerned about changes in their appearance due to sagging facial lines.
• 02. Those who need delicate lifting for contoured areas of the face and generally desire more elastic facial lines.
• 03. Those who are concerned about wrinkles caused by aging.
• 04. Those who have previously experienced Shurink treatments and are looking for more precise and intensive lifting effects.

Treatment Steps

• STEP 01. Self-Cleansing
• STEP 02. Gel Application
• STEP 03. Shurink Universe Treatment
• STEP 04. Completion

Post-Treatment Care

• If you have thin skin, you might temporarily see tip marks on the treated area. These typically fade naturally within 1-2 weeks, so there's no need to worry.
• After your treatment, you might temporarily experience slight redness, warmth, throbbing, swelling, pain, or tooth discomfort in the treated area. These symptoms vary from person to person but typically improve gradually within 1-2 weeks, so please be assured.
