Depending on how you set the treatment cycle for Shurink, even with the same equipment, completely different results can be achieved.

Shurink is a lifting procedure that delivers ultrasonic energy to the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen regeneration.

The key is to 'accumulate stimulation'.

Why the collagen regeneration cycle aligns with a 1-month interval

The skin's collagen regeneration cycle is approximately 28 days.

When Shurink stimulation is applied, it takes roughly 4 weeks for new collagen to be synthesized in response to that stimulation.

If additional stimulation is applied to the same area before this regeneration process is fully complete, energy is added to tissues that have not fully recovered, reducing efficiency.

Conversely, if the treatment is received well over 4 weeks later, after 2-3 months, the collagen formed by the previous stimulation begins to gradually degenerate, making it difficult to properly build cumulative effects.

This is why the Shurink treatment cycle is set at 1 month.

Adding new stimulation when regeneration is sufficiently complete to continuously induce collagen formation – this is the essence of the cumulative treatment concept.

Kkeut Clinic's unique Shurink treatment cycle design

Kkeut Clinic does not uniformly operate the Shurink treatment cycle as a 'fixed 1-month interval'.

The timing of the next treatment is adjusted based on the number of shots and the amount of energy used in a single session.

This is because even with the same Shurink, if the amount of energy used varies per session, the time required for recovery changes.

If the stimulation was strong, the next treatment is scheduled after sufficient recovery; if it was mild, stimulation is continued at shorter intervals.

At Kkeut Clinic, design is always performed with the patient in a sitting position before the procedure.

When lying down, facial tissues spread, making it difficult to accurately identify sagging areas in the actual direction of gravity.

To achieve natural lifting results, it is essential to first identify sagging areas and areas at risk of cheek hollowing while sitting, and then distribute energy accordingly.

4-Stage Tip Replacement and Sufficient Shots

At Kkeut Clinic, in addition to the 4.5mm main tip, 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm tips are replaced and used according to the area being treated.

This is because multi-layered stimulation, from deep to shallow layers, is required to simultaneously achieve lifting and skin elasticity improvement effects.

The results differ from methods that use only one tip for the entire area.

Ensuring a sufficient number of shots in each session is also a principle of Kkeut Clinic's Shurink treatment.

After the procedure, the treatment details are recorded and shared on a lifting card.

Keeping a record of which areas were treated with which tips and how many shots were used is necessary to accurately design the next Shurink treatment cycle.

At Kkeut Clinic, if desired, it is possible to proceed with an intensity level comparable to Ultherapy.

As the intensity increases, the time required for recovery must also be considered; therefore, in such cases, the Shurink treatment cycle is adjusted individually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Won't the effects be better if the Shurink treatment cycle is shorter than 1 month?

A. If the Shurink treatment cycle is too short, new energy is added before the collagen regeneration process from the previous stimulation is complete. This reduces recovery efficiency, making it difficult to achieve proper cumulative effects. At Kkeut Clinic, we guide you to the optimal cycle based on the energy usage per session.

Q. What if I missed my Shurink treatment cycle and it's been more than 2 months? Will it be okay?

A. If the Shurink treatment cycle is extended, the collagen formed by previous stimulation begins to degenerate. While some cumulative effects may be reduced, stopping does not mean the effects will disappear entirely. You can use the next treatment as a new starting point to continue the cycle.

Q. Is the Shurink treatment performed in the same way for each cycle?

A. At Kkeut Clinic, we do not perform each session identically. We refer to the previous lifting card to check the previous usage and response, and then adjust the tip configuration and number of shots for the current session. This is how we design both the Shurink treatment cycle and intensity together.

Our Commitment at Kkeut Clinic

Kkeut Clinic provides natural lifting results without cheek hollowing by performing design while the patient is sitting before the lifting procedure.

Kkeut Clinic transparently manages the Shurink treatment cycle and cumulative treatment history by creating and sharing a lifting card for each session.

Kkeut Clinic achieves multi-layered stimulation with 4-stage customized tip replacement and sufficient shots, and when necessary, increases the intensity to Ultherapy levels, pursuing both safety and effectiveness simultaneously.
