Shurink is one of a High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology used in aesthetic treatments which is called micro and macro focused ultrasound. This non-invasive procedure is designed to stimulate collagen production in the skin, resulting in tighter, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. It is marketed as Ultraformer III outside Korea.

Here’s a closer look at what Shurink entails:

How Shurink HIFU / Ultraformer III Works

Shurink / Ultraformer III utilizes focused ultrasound energy to target the deeper layers of the skin. The ultrasound waves penetrate the skin without damaging the surface, reaching the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, which is the same layer targeted during a surgical facelift. The energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and promoting collagen and elastin production.

The dermis layer of the skin naturally synthesizes less collagen over the course of time.

Focused ultrasound waves deliver energy directly within the skin layer causing a shrinking effect.

After inflammation and fibroplasia is caused, new collagen is formed in the targeted area.

Through the regeneration of collagen, wrinkles are eliminated in the process of both firming and tightening the skin.

  2. Natural Results: The treatment stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in gradual and natural-looking improvements.
  3. Minimal Discomfort: Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure, often described as a tingling or warm sensation.
