Q. I am unsure about the optimal number of Shurink shots, specifically whether 300 or 600 shots are suitable for me.

A. For individuals considering Shurink treatment,

a minimum of 300 shots is typically suggested.

Unless specific considerations apply,

600 shots are commonly viewed as a comprehensive approach.

Should one wish to address the forehead and eye area additionally,

up to 900 shots might be considered by the specialist.

Our clinic's approach to Shurink treatment involves distinct methods, even when administering 300 shots.

1) Treatment design consistently begins with the patient in a seated posture.

When positioned horizontally,

the precise evaluation of areas like cheek hollowing, skin laxity, and fine lines becomes challenging.

To accurately identify the optimal lifting vectors and target tissue layers,

which are fundamental to effective lifting procedures,

the initial design phase is invariably conducted with the patient in a sitting position.

​

2) Patients receive a “Lifting Card” containing comprehensive treatment details.

Essential data, including:

• Energy level used

• Total shot count

• Specific mode utilized

• Treated areas as mapped

is meticulously documented and shared openly,

allowing patients to have a clear understanding of their specific treatment plan.

​

3) Focused intensity application for deeper tissue stimulation with each shot.

Shurink devices can deliver a maximum intensity of 1.0,

This level signifies a considerable energy output.

At our facility,

even if it requires a longer treatment duration,

procedures are typically performed at the maximum intensity that is comfortable for the patient, aligning with Shurink guidelines.

aiming for enhanced energy density and deeper tissue stimulation with each shot, even with the same total shot count.

​

4) Incorporating DOT mode for precise, targeted application.

Due to its precise, slower energy delivery, DOT mode typically extends the treatment time.

However, this technique is designed to achieve more concentrated lifting results in specific areas

distinguished from the approach of standard mode.

Our clinic,

emphasizes prioritizing clinical outcomes over mere time efficiency,

applying DOT mode strategically where it is deemed most beneficial.

5) Utilizing various handpieces to address different skin layers.

Achieving noticeable lifting often requires targeting more than just a single skin layer.

When creating a treatment plan, we focus on:

• SMAS

• Upper dermis

• Mid-dermal layers

Various handpieces are utilized together, each designed to reach different depths.

This approach aims for layer-by-layer lifting.

Q&A

Q1. What is the typical number of Shurink shots recommended?

Shot counts may be structured according to the treatment's goal:

• Suggested minimum for expected results: 300 shots

• Full-face lifting (excluding eye areas): 600 shots

• Comprehensive full-face treatment (including eyes, forehead, glabella): 900 shots or more

The shot count goes beyond just a numerical value.

It serves as a structural guideline for ensuring the face is consistently covered with lifting lines.

Q2. I have minimal cheek fat. Should the shot count be reduced?

Not necessarily.

For individuals with less cheek fat, an adequate number of shots may be particularly important.

Shurink is not designed as a fat-reduction procedure.

The shot count is determined by the desired density of lifting lines, rather than by the volume of fat.

Q3. If I already have hollows in my cheeks, will lifting exacerbate them?

If the treatment plan is designed appropriately, this outcome is less likely.

Areas with cheek hollows can be specifically avoided during the treatment design phase.

By excluding these areas through careful design,

further hollowing may not occur.

​

Q4. What makes the number of shots so significant in Shurink treatments?

Shurink operates by linking individual points of thermal energy

to create continuous lines.

For desired outcomes,

it is important that the entire face is covered with these fine lines.

Below a specific threshold of shots,

the shots might provide only thermal stimulation without achieving a noticeable clinical effect.

​

Q5. What factors should I consider when looking for a clinic that performs Shurink effectively?

① A clinic that plans the treatment while the patient is seated.

→ This approach can help set more precise vectors, considering actual sagging and wrinkles.

② A clinic that administers treatment at a high, yet tolerable intensity.

→ Even with the same number of shots, the outcomes can vary significantly.

③ 복합적인 DOT 모드를 활용하는 곳

이는 시술 시간이 다소 길어질 수 있으나, 더욱 섬세한 시술 패턴을 구현하여 피부에 적용될 수 있습니다.

​

④ 다양한 깊이의 핸드피스를 구비한 의료기관

→ 피부층별 맞춤 시술이 중요합니다.

​

⑤ 리프팅 시술 기록 카드를 제공하는 곳

→ 시술 내용과 과정을 투명하게 기록하여 환자분들이 참고하실 수 있도록 합니다.
