Hello.

This is Chief Director Kim Jang-Joo.

​

Did you feel like there was no effect from Shrink Universe?

100 shots, reconsider the standards from the beginning

Shrink Universe is a representative non-surgical lifting procedure.

However, have you ever seen reviews claiming there was no effect after the procedure?

Many people are disappointed, especially when a small number of shots were administered and are looking for reviews.

​

Why is there no effect?

The main reason is simply the lack of sufficient shots​.

​

Both Ulthera and Shrink Universe use ultrasonic energy

to deeply deliver energy to the skin and regenerate collagen,

​

if there isn't enough cumulative energy, it's hard to expect noticeable lifting effects.

That's why it's important to get a detailed guide on the number of shots and the plan from the consultation stage.

​

1️⃣Is 100 shots enough?

Many people receive treatments with around 100 shots of Shrink,

but it's hard to expect significant changes at this level.

​

Like Shrink Universe 300 shots,

sufficient stimulation is needed for the skin to react properly.

​

If there is a lack of energy, there is also a lack of stimulation, and as a result, one feels it has no effect.

So in reality, many people find themselves returning to the dermatology clinic for re-consultation.

​

​

2️⃣Difference in expectations

Shrink Universe does not eliminate fat.

​

It is a lifting device that gradually restores elasticity,

so if you expect immediate results, you might be disappointed.

​

Typically, after 1 to 3 months, the skin gradually tightens,

and it's common to feel the changes then.

In other words, since it is not a procedure with immediate visible results, choosing a place that sufficiently explains it during the consultation process,

for example, hospitals with many dermatology recommendations, increases satisfaction.

​

​

3️⃣Practitioner’s skill level

Even if the same number of shots is used, the results vary depending on where and how deeply the shots are administered.

Especially in the case of Ulthera, where the output is strong, controlling the depth and shot distribution is very important.

​

Likewise, for Shrink Universe, the number of shots and

the practitioner's experience must coincide for effective results.

​

Ultimately, the reviews claiming no effect are

👉 Insufficient shots

👉 Difference in expectations

👉 Practitioner’s skill level

These three factors often create misalignment.

​

​

4️⃣ 100 shots vs 300 shots

Shrink Universe creates thermal coagulation points in the deep layers of the skin using HIFU energy,

and this stimulation induces collagen regeneration.

​

The more thermal coagulation points there are, the greater the lifting effect.

​

​

So the difference between 100 shots and Shrink Universe 300 shots is not just the number,

but the difference in energy accumulation and reaction intensity.

​

​

5️⃣Number of shots and collagen regeneration

Collagen does not increase immediately with just one stimulation.

Damage → Recovery → Regeneration must be repeated to create elasticity.

If the number of shots is small, the stimulation is weak,

and the more shots there are, the more active the regeneration, speeding up elasticity improvement.

​

Therefore, while 100 shots might be fine for simple maintenance,

if there is sagging or if you are older, a configuration like 300 shots is much more effective.

​

​

6️⃣ Q&A

Q1. Why does Ulthera have fast effects?

​

A. Ulthera has strong output per shot and a consistent depth,

so many people feel the effect quickly even with a small number of shots.

Q2. Is Ulthera always good?

​

A. Not necessarily.

As the output is strong, the pain can be significant, and if the skill level is insufficient, there can be bruises or risks of side effects.

Q3. What about Shrink Universe?

​

A. Shrink Universe has softer stimulation and less pain compared to Ulthera.

It offers natural lifting and quick return to daily life as advantages.

​

However, the immediate effects may be weaker,

so a sufficient number of shots and repeated procedures are necessary.

​

👉 Ulthera: Strong output, quick lifting

👉 Shrink Universe: Less pain, gradual lifting

Q. Why are there many reviews claiming that Shrink has no effect?

​

A. It's due to insufficient shots, excessive expectations, and the choice of equipment

not matching the skin condition.

Q. Is 100 shots insufficient?

​

A. Yes. It may be fine for basic maintenance or initial procedures,

but if you want lifting effects, Shrink Universe is recommended to be above 300 shots.

Q. Ultimately, what is important?

​

A. Choosing equipment that matches your skin condition and goals,

and securing a sufficient number of shots.

Q. How should I manage it?

​

A. Initially start with sufficient procedures like Shrink Universe 300 shots,

and manage periodically while observing reactions after 1 to 3 months to greatly increase satisfaction.

​

​

Shrink Universe is not necessarily about being strong all the time.

The key is to develop a strategy that fits your skin.

In particular, it needs to be sufficiently delivered like Shrink Universe 300 shots for the skin to respond.

​

So, it is good to refer to places where trustworthy medical personnel are available and provide thorough consultations,

for example, hospitals with many dermatology recommendations.

I hope today's content helps those who are considering treatment.
