Shurink Universe: A Solution That Addresses the Gaps in Earlier Lifting

Facial lines gradually giving way with age, and declining firmness, are natural concerns everyone comes to experience. Many people look to lifting treatments to improve them. Among these, one of the most widely known devices is Shurink. That said, some may remember the discomfort or the limits of precision they felt with the earlier treatment.

Today we would like to explain how Shurink Universe — which addresses those shortcomings — works and what characterises it. We hope this serves as a helpful guide for those looking for the lifting solution that suits them.

Shurink Universe — what has changed?

Shurink Universe is a lifting device using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy, and it has advanced technically compared with the earlier model. The biggest difference is that the ways of delivering energy have become more varied. Where previously only a dot-form method of delivering energy was possible, Shurink Universe adds a line-form MP (Micro Pulsed) mode.

MP mode not only fills energy in densely without gaps but also delivers it faster, lowering the burden of discomfort felt during treatment and shortening the overall treatment time. This has the advantage of reducing both the time pressure and the mental burden for those planning a visit amid a busy routine.

How are curved areas treated?

The face is not flat but made up of three-dimensional curves. The conventional straight handpiece was good for treating broad areas, but had the drawback of poorer contact on narrow, curved areas such as around the eyes and mouth. To address this limitation, Shurink Universe introduced a pen-type handpiece known as the Ultra Booster.

The round pen-type handpiece is a supporting device that allows energy to be applied precisely and closely even on narrow curved surfaces, such as around the eyes or beneath the cheekbones. This makes it possible to design the overall facial line a little more delicately. The detail of contour improvement changes according to which handpiece is used where.

How does ultrasound energy restore firmness?

The core principle of Shurink Universe is concentrating ultrasound energy as far as the fascial layer (SMAS) without damaging the skin surface, forming thermal coagulation points. Once these coagulation points form, a tightening effect appears as the tissue contracts, and over the following months new collagen is produced.

Shurink Universe acts on the target layer accurately and raises the skin’s own capacity to recover without much interference with daily life. Through this process, the skin recovers firmness on its own and descended tissue is lifted naturally.

Why does individually tailored design matter?

Differences in the result of Shurink Universe come not only from device performance but from careful analysis. Because facial fat distribution and the degree of ageing differ from person to person, a uniform shot count can actually work against you.

For example, delivering excessive energy to someone with particularly little cheek volume can result in hollowing. A design process that clearly separates the areas where energy should be concentrated from the areas that need care must therefore come first. Building a plan suited to your own facial shape through a thorough consultation before treatment is the way to protect a natural result.

What responses occur after treatment, and how should I care for my skin?

After Shurink Universe, thermal energy has been delivered deep beneath the skin, so a tingling sensation, throbbing or slight swelling may appear temporarily. As this is part of the regenerative process, it disappears naturally within a few days.

For the best result, it is also advisable to avoid activities that generate body heat — vigorous exercise, saunas, alcohol — for about a week after treatment. Applying moisturiser and sunscreen thoroughly and drinking enough water so that the stimulated skin recovers well will also help. When this kind of careful aftercare is added, the lifting result can last longer.

Shurink Universe addresses the shortcomings of the earlier treatment through faster speed and a more precise handpiece. That said, even with a system that reduces discomfort and raises precision, what ultimately creates a natural result is the clinical work of reading each person’s skin. If you would like to ease concerns about the sagging lines you see in the mirror, we would encourage you to have a thorough consultation with us first.

Healthy, resilient skin is completed when accurate information and consistent care are added to the treatment itself, rather than by the treatment alone. NUWA Clinic Gangnam, which proposes a direction suited to your skin condition through a one-to-one tailored assessment, is located directly in front of Exit 7 of Gangnam Station, on floors 3 and 4 at 385 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul.

Frequently asked questions

Q. I would like to know the difference between Shurink Universe and the earlier Shurink.

A. The biggest difference is the addition of a line-form MP (Micro Pulsed) mode alongside the dot method. MP mode fills energy in densely while delivering it faster, reducing both the burden of discomfort and the treatment time. A pen-type handpiece has also been introduced, making treatment of narrow, curved areas considerably more precise.

Q. Is Shurink Universe uncomfortable?

A. The experience of discomfort differs from person to person. MP mode delivers energy quickly, which helps lower the burden of discomfort, and we adjust the energy level through careful consultation with reference to your previous treatment experience.

Q. When does the effect of Shurink Universe appear?

A. You may feel the line looking tidier straight after treatment from tissue contraction, and you can expect firmness to build over the months during which new collagen is produced. That said, the degree and pace of change differ between individuals.

Q. I do not have much cheek volume — is the treatment still suitable?

A. Delivering excessive energy to areas with little cheek volume can result in hollowing, so a design that separates the areas where energy should be concentrated from those needing care is important. As we design this individually after examining facial shape and fat distribution, checking through a consultation is the most accurate approach.

Q. Please tell me the precautions after Shurink Universe.

A. It is best to avoid activities that generate body heat — vigorous exercise, saunas, alcohol — for about a week. Applying moisturiser and sunscreen thoroughly and drinking enough water will help with both recovery and maintenance.
