The reason why I was the only one not to experience the expected effect.
Hello.
This is Kim Ha-won from Beauty Doctors.
Is 300 shots of Shurink enough?
Shurink Universe allows for flexible shot count design
and energy settings
and it is gaining attention as a cost-effective lifting procedure.
However, the timing of the Shurink effect, maintenance period, and frequency
are aspects that are hard to understand without personal experience.
Why do results vary so much?
300 shots of Shurink
300 shots of Shurink is
the most basic lifting design.
It usually treats one part of the face
(around the eyes, deep cheek, chin, etc.)
and is considered a minimum shot count.
If skin elasticity isn't too compromised
or if it's for regular lifting maintenance,
300 shots of Shurink can be sufficient.
However, if you want noticeable lifting effects,
and wish to cover the entire face,
designs with more than 600 shots are recommended.
The timing of the Shurink effect
Does it change immediately after the treatment?
Shurink might give an immediate
sensation of being pulled, but
the real effect
gradually begins about 1-2 weeks later.
And the point at which
collagen regeneration intensifies is about 6-9 weeks.
After about 2-3 months, many people
feel that their appearance has indeed been refined.
In other words, Shurink should be seen as
rather than a procedure where you look in the mirror
and are surprised immediately,
it is a lifting process that rises quietly and lasts long.
The Shurink effect,
can it be heightened?
Even for the same 300 shots of Shurink,
why do individuals feel differences?
The most common reason is
the shot count and energy intensity,
and treatment design vary for each person.
✔️ If you slightly increase the number of shots
✔️ and proceed with a customized design,
the maintenance period tends to be longer,
and the lifting is more firm.
However, just doing stronger treatments
and many shots doesn't guarantee better results.
What’s most important is having a treatment design
that matches your skin condition.
300 shots
Shurink Universe cycle
To put it briefly,
in the beginning, 3 treatments at 1-month intervals
are recommended.
The reason is simple.
The skin does not immediately remember
and maintain the condition because it got stimulated once.
For instance, even injections that stimulate collagen regeneration, like Juverlook or Rejuran,
are generally recommended for 3 times for a reason.
The same goes for lifting.
While one treatment isn't ineffective,
in terms of longevity and stability in restoring elasticity,
repeated stimulation of more than 3 times is more effective.
After the initial 3 treatments,
the most reasonable pattern is
to continue maintenance 1 time every 6 months.
The number of shots is not everything
So if the number of shots and energy
are very high, it will last longer, right?
You might think this, but
just increasing shot count and energy
does not necessarily enhance the results.
Rather, excessive settings can lead to
🔸 hollowness
🔸 burns
🔸 severe pain
which may cause long-term damage to the skin's elastic structure.
So what’s important is
the personalized design that sets the appropriate energy and depth for your skin.
Even with the same 300 shots of Shurink,
the design approach must be entirely different for those
with thin skin, those whose elasticity has significantly dropped,
or with a lot of fat.
Shurink Universe
Shurink Universe lifting is
using HIFU,
that is, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
for the lifting procedure.
As it implies,
ultrasound energy is focused on a single point in the skin
to create intense heat.
This heat is transmitted to the deep SMAS layer,
causing tissue contraction and stimulating collagen production.
As a result, the skin is lifted and made elastic.
It can be compared to focusing sunlight through a magnifying glass
to burn paper.

Today's summary
✔️ 300 shots of Shurink Universe are
localized area designs.
⏱️ The timing of the effect becomes apparent from 1-2 weeks after treatment,
and is most pronounced in the 6-9 week period.
🧭 Maintenance period is about 6 months,
with subsequent regular maintenance treatments recommended.
🔁 Recommended Shurink Universe cycle is
3 treatments at 1-month intervals initially, and then 1 time every 6 months.
💡 Differences in effect can stem from customized designs and treatment methods rather than just the shot count.
Shurink is not just a procedure that pulls the skin.
It’s a process that encourages the skin to regenerate itself
and regain elasticity.
So,
when, how many times, and in what manner you get treated
can lead to entirely different results.
If you have felt disappointed with the lifting treatments you've received so far,
you might want to reconsider starting with a design that matches your skin this time.
Thank you for reading.
