Quick answer

What is Shurink HIFU and how long do results last?

Shurink is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment that creates tiny heat points at set depths in the skin and SMAS layer, causing immediate tissue contraction and collagen renewal over the following weeks. At JIA Skin Clinic Gangnam a session usually takes 20–30 minutes, there is little to no downtime, lifting builds over 2–3 months and results typically last around 6–12 months. It is a popular, gentler option compared with Ultherapy and combines well with Thermage for sagging skin.

Why JIA Skin Clinic

HIFU tailored to each zone of your face

Shurink results depend on depth and line placement. Your JIA doctor adjusts cartridges and shot counts by area, so lifting is focused where you need it.

Depth-by-depth planning

Different cartridges (commonly 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm) target the skin and SMAS layer where each area needs it.

Gentle for first-timers

Shurink is generally well tolerated, making it a good introduction to HIFU lifting.

Natural V-line focus

Lines are placed to define the jawline and lift the cheeks without hollowing the face.

Transparent pricing

VAT-inclusive quotes by shot count, explained in English before treatment begins.

How a Shurink session works

Consultation

Your doctor assesses laxity, fat distribution and goals to decide shot counts and depths.

Cleansing & mapping

Make-up is removed, treatment zones are marked and numbing cream can be applied.

HIFU delivery

Focused ultrasound is delivered line by line for about 20–30 minutes; you feel brief warm, tingling pulses.

Results & maintenance

Mild redness fades quickly. Lift builds over 2–3 months; many repeat every 6–12 months.

FAQ

Shurink questions, answered

Does Shurink HIFU hurt?

Most people feel short, warm or tingling pulses, stronger over bony areas. Numbing cream and paced delivery keep it comfortable for most patients.

How long does Shurink last?

Results typically last around 6–12 months depending on age, skin and lifestyle. Many patients repeat once or twice a year.

Shurink vs Ultherapy — what is the difference?

Both are focused ultrasound treatments. Ultherapy uses real-time imaging and is often chosen for deeper, longer-lasting lifting, while Shurink is gentler and often used for prevention and maintenance.

Can Shurink make my face look thinner?

It can refine the jawline and reduce mild lower-face heaviness. In very thin faces, energy is adjusted carefully to avoid unwanted volume loss.

Can I do Shurink and Thermage on the same day?

Yes. Combining HIFU with Thermage RF treats deeper lifting and surface tightening together, and is a common same-visit plan.
