Effects difference according to the number of shrink shots
Hello.
This is Yoo Young-jin from Beauty Doctors.
When looking into lifting procedures,
you may have heard of the name Shrink Universe at least once.
It is known to be an upgraded equipment compared to the existing Shrink,
and many people wonder
"Is 300 shots enough?"
"Is 600 shots excessive?" This is the concern.
To conclude,
there is a clear difference in effectiveness,
but what is more important is the energy intensity and
the precision of the procedure.
Today, I will summarize the
key factors
that determine the effects of Shrink Universe.
1. What is Shrink Universe?
Shrink Universe is a lifting device that uses HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound).
The procedure delivers ultrasound energy deep into the skin (to the SMAS layer),
causing tissue contraction and promoting collagen production.
It's similar to the principle of using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight on a point.
Although there is no visible stimulation on the outside,
it accurately transmits thermal energy deep within the skin and
pulls up sagging tissues,
allowing improvements in skin texture and density.
2. Is there really just a difference in numbers between 300 and 600?
In Shrink Universe,
the number 300 and 600 may seem like a simple numerical difference,
but in actual procedures, they are
options designed differently based on
the area, intensity, and purpose.
🧸 Cases where 300 shots are suitable
Shrink Universe 300 shots is
🧸 First treatment
🧸 When only specific areas need lifting
🧸 Relatively youthful skin with remaining elasticity
It is suitable for such individuals.
Since it is designed primarily for local areas like the
jawline, cheekbones, and under the eyes,
it is sufficient for non-excessive tightening and
line adjustments.
🧸 Cases where 600 shots are needed
On the other hand, Shrink Universe 600 shots are for
🧸 Total lifting of the face
🧸 Areas such as cheek fat, double chin, around the eyes, etc.
When you want to improve various areas simultaneously,
it can be a more appropriate choice.
It is not just about broadening the scope,
but it also allows for overlapping stimuli to a specific area,
providing advantages in terms of collagen regeneration and retention.
In other words, 300 shots are suitable for light beginnings or partial lifting,
while 600 shots can be chosen when looking for
broader coverage and deeper stimulation.
Remember that lifting procedures are not necessarily better with more shots,
but rather depend on the individual’s skin condition and objectives,
which is what makes a personalized treatment.
3. Is there really a difference based on the number of shots?
The intensity of the shrink
is one of the key factors in determining its effectiveness.
Shrink is similar to
stitching collagen threads in the skin.
The denser the stitching, the stronger and longer-lasting the effects,
and lifting becomes even more solid.
It is the same for Shrink Universe.
Increasing the number of shots generally tends to enhance
the overall effectiveness.
It is not always good to have more in lifting procedures,
but generally, effectiveness often corresponds to
the number of shots and energy intensity.
In other words,
600 is stronger than 300,
and 900 is stronger than 600 in terms of stimulation and retention.
Of course, realistically, it is quite rare to use
over 900 shots with Shrink Universe.
And if you are focusing only on a specific area,
you may expect sufficient effects even with only
Shrink Universe 300 shots.
4. Important Points
The sensation of effectiveness varies
depending on energy intensity.
Even if the same 600 shots are administered,
some people may feel a distinct lifting effect, while others may not.
This difference is due to how sufficiently energy is
accurately delivered into the skin.
🧸 If the energy is low, collagen stimulation is minimal.
🧸 High energy leads to tightening and
improving skin density.
However, what is important here is that
simply increasing the strength and quantity
doesn't necessarily yield good results.
If too strong energy is used excessively,
🧸 it can lead to hollowness in the cheeks,
🧸 burns,
🧸 pain, etc.,
increasing the risk of side effects.
So, what matters most is
the combination of energy intensity and the number of shots tailored to
individual skin conditions.
Summary
🧸 The number of shots increases the depth and longevity of the lifting effect.
🧸 However, if you use a lot without personalized settings,
the risk of side effects increases.
🧸 Energy intensity has a significant impact on feeling the actual effect.
🧸 It is more about how the procedure is conducted
than what equipment Shrink Universe uses.
Shrink Universe is certainly
an excellent lifting device.
However, rather than simply deciding based on numbers,
the process of adjusting
the number of shots and intensity according to your skin condition and lifting goals must precede
to enhance satisfaction with the treatment.
The most important thing to remember is a balanced treatment designed for you with a safe intensity.
