This is a procedure note for To maximize the effects of Shurink, understanding your unique face shape is the first step. at Beomgye(Opening Soon) KKEUT Korean Clinic.
To achieve the best Shrinklift results, facial shape analysis comes first.
There's only one reason why the same device and procedure name yield different results: the energy was uniformly applied without analyzing the facial shape and fat distribution before the treatment.

Shrinklift is a lifting procedure that uses the principle of HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to apply thermal stimulation to the deep SMAS layer of the skin, inducing collagen contraction and regeneration. Because it improves elasticity and facial contour without damaging the skin surface, it is suitable for those who want lifting effects while minimizing downtime.

The Shrinklift device has 4.5mm, 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm tips. Since each tip reaches a different skin depth, different tips must be selected for each area to precisely deliver energy to the desired layer. Drooping cheeks and the delicate area around the eyelids require different approaches. Performing the entire face treatment with a single tip means losing more than half of the Shrinklift's effectiveness.
Kkeut Clinic's Custom Tip Design
At Kkeut Clinic, in addition to the 4.5mm main tip, 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm tips are interchanged and used according to the specific area. Considering skin thickness and fat layer depth to select the optimal tip for each area is how Kkeut Clinic designs the Shrinklift effect.

The most common side effect of Shrinklift is cheek hollowness. This occurs when energy is strongly applied for lifting purposes, but the cheeks instead become sunken. This happens when energy is delivered to areas without fat, causing an adverse effect. To prevent this issue, it is crucial to analyze facial fat distribution and design the energy application areas while the patient is seated before the procedure.

Seated Design Prevents Cheek Hollowness
At Kkeut Clinic, designs are always carried out with the patient seated before a lifting procedure. When lying down, fat shifts backward, making the boundary between actually sagging areas and fat-free areas appear different. Designing the energy application areas while observing the face in its natural gravitational state, while seated, is essential to prevent cheek hollowness and precisely achieve the Shrinklift effect.

The intensity of Shrinklift treatment can be elevated to Ultherapy levels. Kkeut Clinic offers the option to set Shrinklift to Ultherapy intensity based on the patient's skin condition and desired results. This is a meaningful choice for those who felt the effects of standard Shrinklift intensity were insufficient.

Shrinklift's effects should be approached as a cumulative treatment concept, not a one-time procedure. Kkeut Clinic recommends a 1-month interval. If a session involved strong stimulation, additional treatments may be possible at shorter intervals depending on the situation. Since the number of shots and energy used determine the timing of the next treatment, the recommended interval can vary for the same procedure name depending on the operation per session.
Management Continuing with a Lifting Card
Kkeut Clinic creates and shares a lifting card after each procedure. Because it records which areas were treated with which tips and how many shots were administered, follow-up treatments can proceed without error in subsequent sessions. To accumulate the effects of Shrinklift, the details of each session must be precisely managed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why do some people say Shrinklift has no effect?
A. The biggest reason for not feeling the effects of Shrinklift is the lack of proper tip selection and design. If only the 4.5mm tip is uniformly applied without considering skin thickness and fat distribution, or if energy zones are set while the patient is lying down, energy may not be delivered to the correct layer, resulting in minimal effect. Kkeut Clinic designs the Shrinklift effect with customized tip changes and seated design.
Q. How long do the effects of Shrinklift last?
A. After a single treatment, the effects typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on individual skin condition. To enjoy the Shrinklift effect longer and deeper, cumulative treatments at 1-month intervals are effective. Kkeut Clinic manages data for each session through a lifting card.
Q. I'm concerned about cheek hollowness, can I still get Shrinklift treatment?
A. Cheek hollowness occurs when energy is delivered to areas without fat. At Kkeut Clinic, designs are always carried out with the patient seated before treatment to accurately identify areas at risk of cheek hollowness and design the energy application range. This process is the most crucial step for those who desire the Shrinklift effect but are concerned about cheek hollowness.
Q. Does increasing Shrinklift intensity to Ultherapy levels result in better effects?
A. Simply applying stronger energy does not necessarily enhance the Shrinklift effect. The key is to use an appropriate intensity that matches the skin condition and fat distribution. Kkeut Clinic offers the option to increase intensity to Ultherapy levels depending on the patient's condition, with the final intensity determined after consultation.
