What is Shurink Universe HIFU lifting in Korea?
Shurink lifting uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The clinic explains that when ultrasound energy is concentrated on one point, the focus reaches 60β100Β°C and creates thermal coagulation points in the dermis and the SMAS, and describes the second-generation Shurink Universe device.

How it is done
Skin condition is measured and treatment is tailored to the individual. The clinic explains that Shurink Universe adds a pen-type handpiece for narrow, curved areas such as the forehead, nasolabial folds and eye area. There are two modes, NORMAL and MP, and cartridges (four for the ULTRA F handpiece and three for the ULTRA BOOSTER handpiece) are chosen by depth: 1.5 mm (thin skin and upper dermis), 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm (lower dermis) and 4.5 mm (SMAS). The clinic also mentions a dedicated Shurink Universe skin booster (Aurora ampoule) that can be used in place of ultrasound gel.
