Kkeuthan Clinic Shurink Universe Treatment Guide

How Ultrasound Lifting Works

Ultrasound energy is concentrated at specific depths within the skin, promoting collagen production and inducing tissue contraction. This is expected to improve skin elasticity.

Much like a magnifying glass focuses light to a single point, ultrasound energy creates microscopic thermal coagulation points deep within the skin tissue. From these thermal coagulation points, the process of improving skin elasticity can begin.

Minimal damage to the skin surface means less burden during the recovery period. It can be considered for various skin types.

This non-invasive procedure can deliver energy to the SMAS layer. This can help not only enhance skin surface elasticity but also form deeper structural support.

Target Depth by Treatment Cartridge

1.5mm Depth

Acting on the superficial layer of the skin, it can be considered for improving fine wrinkles, pores, and skin texture. It can be used in areas with thin skin, such as around the eyes or mouth.

3.0mm Depth

This can be considered when there is initial sagging or loss of elasticity in the cheeks and nasolabial folds.

4.5mm Depth

This depth targets the SMAS layer, focusing on improving structural sagging of the face. It can be applied to the jawline, double chin, and deep cheek areas.

6.0mm Depth

This depth works on the fat layer, which can help reduce fat volume in a double chin or body lines.

Since each depth has a different treatment goal, a treatment plan is created by combining various depth cartridges according to each individual's facial structure and needs.

Characteristics of DOT Mode and MP Mode

DOT Mode (Dot Method)

This mode precisely delivers energy point by point. It can be useful when fine lifting is desired for curved or specific areas of the face.

MP Mode (Line Method)

Energy is delivered quickly at regular intervals over a wide area, which can be used for overall facial contour improvement. This method can effectively treat large areas while reducing the burden of pain.

By combining both modes, you can expect both overall contour improvement and delicate point lifting simultaneously. This can help increase satisfaction with the treatment results.

Kkeuthan Clinic's Shurink Universe Treatment Philosophy

At our clinic, we meticulously consider the patient's anatomical characteristics such as facial curves, skin thickness, fat distribution, and the direction of sagging due to gravity. Based on this, we carefully select and combine suitable handpieces and modes to perform the treatment.

For narrow or highly curved areas, a pen-type handpiece is used to delicately deliver energy, while for wider areas, MP mode is utilized for efficient treatment.

Afterward, DOT mode is intensively applied to the necessary lifting points to design a three-dimensional lifting effect.

Rather than simply completing a predetermined number of shots, we aim for 'designed lifting' that understands the face as an organic structure and finely adjusts energy to the areas needed for each individual.

Comparison of Shurink Universe and Ultherapy

Both devices use the principle of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), and the cumulative energy delivered is considered the same when treated with the same depth, output, and number of shots.

Example

During Shurink Universe treatment: 1.0J × 300 shots

During Ultherapy treatment: 1.0J × 300 shots

In both cases, a total of 300J of energy can be delivered to the skin tissue.

The difference in results may depend not merely on the name of the device, but on how effectively the treatment conditions are tailored to each individual's skin to induce a thermal coagulation response through ultrasound energy.

Treatment Overview

• An ultrasound lifting procedure primarily targeting the SMAS layer within the skin.
• Improved treatment speed and precision compared to the existing Shurink, allowing for customized patient planning.
• A pen-type handpiece can be used to delicately deliver energy even to narrow or curved areas.
• Thermal coagulation points generated by a single shot are formed more densely, allowing for a quicker elasticity improvement process.

Benefits of the Treatment

• Numerous thermal coagulation points are created within the skin, which can help improve elasticity.
• By combining various modes, depths, and handpieces, a customized treatment plan can be developed for each individual.
• Delicate lifting can be performed even on the curved areas of the face.
• The fast treatment speed helps reduce pain during the procedure and contributes to shortening the overall treatment time.

Recommended Candidates

• If you are concerned about a sagging jawline
• If you are experiencing early or moderate sagging
• It may be suitable for those who wish to improve skin elasticity and reduce fine wrinkles.
• If you are considering lifting achieved through more sophisticated treatment design.

Treatment Process

1. Cleansing
2. Gel Application
3. After precisely designing each individual's facial structure, the Shurink Universe procedure is performed.
4. Finishing with soothing care

Possible Reactions After Treatment

For those with thin skin, tip marks may temporarily remain after the procedure, usually disappearing within 1-2 weeks.

Redness, tightness, mild pain, and numbness may temporarily occur.

Most subside naturally.

Our Clinic's Treatment Expertise

1. Individual Output Adjustment

Appropriate output adjustment during Shurink treatment can significantly impact the treatment results.

Our medical team carefully monitors the level of pain during the procedure and adjusts settings to an effective intensity based on individual reactions.

2. Combination with Ultherapy Mode

While some clinics may omit this due to treatment time,

our clinic applies Ultherapy mode (DOT output) to necessary localized areas to create more concentrated lifting points.

3. Design-Based Energy Delivery

Rather than simply completing the required number of shots, where the energy is delivered is crucial for the treatment's effectiveness.

To account for facial asymmetry and enhance lifting effects, we meticulously design the facial contours before treatment and deliver energy to specific points.

4. Tip Direction Design

Directionality is important for lifting.

We design the treatment to effectively deliver energy upwards into the skin by utilizing the tip's diagonal and upward angles.

We apply the 'Tilt & Push-up' technique to ensure that coagulation points are formed in the desired upward direction.

5. Pain Relief System

We strive to minimize perceived pain during treatment by utilizing various methods such as vibration device usage, and adjustment of irradiation angle and technique.

Our pain relief system focuses on reducing discomfort experienced by patients.
