This is a procedure note for V-line Lifting: 3 Key Ways to Enhance Your Jawline with Shurink at Gyeonggi / Incheon Beomgye(Opening Soon) KKEUT Korean Clinic.
Shrink is one of the first devices that comes to mind for those considering V-line lifting.
Sagging jowls, a blurred jawline, a double chin that creates a dull impression — Shrink remains the benchmark for lifting procedures because it can address these three concerns non-surgically and all at once.

How Shrink Creates a Jawline
Shrink operates using the HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) method.
It focuses ultrasound energy to heat the SMAS layer (fascia layer) below the dermis without damaging the skin surface.
This thermal stimulation simultaneously induces collagen contraction and regeneration, resulting in a lifting effect where sagging tissues are pulled upwards.
From the perspective of V-line lifting, what's important is at what depth and angle the energy is delivered.
Since skin thickness, fat layer thickness, and the direction of jawline sagging vary from person to person, performing the procedure with the same parameters will not yield the desired V-line.

3 Key Factors for Jawline Revival with Shrink
There are three main factors that make a difference in V-line lifting results.
First, the precision of tip selection.
Shrink features tips for various depths, including 4.5mm, 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm.
If the 4.5mm tip is main for SMAS layer lifting, the 3.0mm tip is for strengthening dermal elasticity, and the 2.0mm and 1.5mm tips are for delicate areas where the skin is thin and close to the bone, such as the jawline.
Especially to create a clear V-line jawline, shallow tips must be meticulously used along the border between the chin and behind the ears.

Second, the accuracy of the design phase.
Precisely designing the treatment area before the lifting procedure is essential.
What's important at this stage is to conduct the design process with the patient in a seated position, not lying down.
This is because it's necessary to accurately identify sagging areas and areas at risk of hollowing in the actual facial state, affected by gravity.
If the procedure is performed according to a design drawn while lying down, energy might be delivered to areas without cheek fat, potentially causing hollowing.

Third, cumulative management of the treatment cycle.
While Shrink provides immediate lifting right after a single session, it takes about 2-3 months for the full effect to develop as collagen regenerates.
This is why, for V-line lifting purposes, cumulative sessions performed monthly produce much clearer results than a single one-off session.
The timing of the next treatment varies depending on the number of shots in a session, and it's also effective to perform light supplementary treatments at shorter intervals after a strongly stimulated session.

V-line Lifting: Post-procedure care also affects the results
Immediately after the procedure, it's essential to avoid strong UV exposure, saunas, and alcohol consumption.
If additional heat stimulation occurs while thermal stimulation remains in the tissues, an excessive inflammatory response may result.
Consistently maintaining moisturizing care and UV protection creates a stable environment for collagen regeneration.
If Ulthera-level intensity is required, there is an option to increase energy settings to enhance deep layer stimulation. In this case, redness and warmth may persist longer after the procedure, so it's advisable to plan for a longer recovery period in advance.

The Unique V-line Lifting Difference at Kkeut Oriental Medical Clinic
Kkeut Oriental Medical Clinic doesn't stop at just the 4.5mm main tip; we replace tips according to the area, using 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm tips.
Operating with customized tips for delicate areas where the skin is thin, such as the jawline, results in a clearer V-line lifting outcome.

Kkeut Oriental Medical Clinic always performs the design process with the patient in a seated position before all lifting procedures.
Designing in a lying position fails to reflect the actual facial state affected by gravity, leading to a risk of hollowing.
Kkeut Oriental Medical Clinic prioritizes seated design before treatment to prevent unnecessary risks of side effects.

Kkeut Oriental Medical Clinic creates and shares a lifting card with the patient after each treatment session.
We record the tip configuration, energy settings, and targeted areas, ensuring seamless cumulative management in subsequent sessions without error.
V-line lifting is consistently provided with the same quality, regardless of which branch you visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How many V-line lifting sessions are needed to see results?
A. While immediate lifting is felt even after a single V-line lifting session, it takes 2-3 months for the full effect to develop as collagen regenerates. The clearest results are observed with cumulative treatments performed monthly. At Kkeut Oriental Medical Clinic, we guide you on a customized treatment cycle based on the number of shots and sessions.
Q. Will there be no cheek hollowing after V-line lifting?
A. Cheek hollowing is prevented at the design stage. By accurately designing while seated before V-line lifting, it is possible to prevent energy from being applied to areas with less volume. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic adheres to seated design as a principle.
Q. What is the difference between Shrink V-line Lifting and Ultherapy?
A. Both Shrink and Ultherapy use HIFU methods, but there are differences in energy intensity and tip configuration. If you wish to maximize the V-line lifting effect, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic also offers an option to perform Shrink at Ultherapy-level intensity.
Q. How should I care for my skin after V-line lifting?
A. For 1-2 days after the procedure, avoid saunas, alcohol, and strenuous exercise, and thoroughly maintain UV protection and moisturizing. The completeness of the V-line lifting results depends on how stably the collagen regeneration environment is maintained.
The Sincerity of Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic does not stop at the 4.5mm main tip, but also uses interchangeable custom tips of 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm for each area, increasing the precision of V-line lifting.
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic always completes the design while the patient is seated before lifting procedures, fundamentally preventing the risk of cheek hollowing.
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic creates a lifting card for each session, records the treatment history, and shares it with the patient, thereby ensuring the continuity and safety of cumulative management.
