What is HIFU Lifting?

Lifting procedures are chosen to improve skin elasticity and sagging that occur over time.

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) lifting is a technology that delivers energy to specific layers of the skin without damaging the skin surface.

When energy generates heat deep within the skin, collagen is regenerated, and the skin is tightened.

Because it requires almost no incisions or recovery time, it has recently become a popular non-surgical lifting method.

What is Shrink Lifting?

Shrink is a leading lifting device based on HIFU technology.

It delivers energy to the SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) in the skin to induce a lifting effect.

While conventional radio frequency lifting mainly targets the dermis layer, Shrink creates heat coagulation points in deeper layers, tightening the skin.

Differences of Shrink Universe

Shrink Universe is an upgraded version of the existing Shrink device.

A major feature is the faster procedure speed and reduced pain.

Designed to deliver heat stably while irradiating shots at high speed, it enhances patient comfort.

In addition, the diverse handpieces and programs enable customized treatments for facial contours, elasticity, and delicate areas such as the eyes.

Shrink Universe: 300 Shots vs. 600 Shots

Many people think that the lifting effect is proportional to the number of shots, but in reality, simply shooting “more” does not necessarily improve the effect.

Even with the same 600 shots, the results vary depending on the irradiation depth, location, and energy intensity settings.

Unnecessarily shooting too many shots can increase skin irritation.

Conversely, even with 300 shots, if irradiated accurately in the necessary location and at the appropriate intensity, a satisfactory lifting effect can be achieved.

On average, 300 shots are often used for partial lifting or periodic maintenance, while 500-700 shots are often used for overall facial lifting.

Advantages of Ultra Booster Handpiece

Shrink Universe has two handpieces, and the Ultra Booster is suitable for narrow or curved areas.

It can closely adhere to narrow areas such as nasolabial folds or curved areas such as the jawline to deliver energy effectively.

Thanks to these characteristics, Shrink can delicately treat areas that were difficult to access with existing lifting devices.

Skill and Expertise are More Important Than the Number of Shots

The most important thing in lifting procedures is the skill and expertise of the medical staff, rather than the performance of the equipment.

This is why the results differ even when using the same equipment and the same number of shots.

The effect varies depending on how well the medical staff understands facial anatomy and designs the energy according to individual skin conditions.

Also, the treatment time is a key factor.

Sufficient time must be taken to deliver energy stably so that heat is properly accumulated, and collagen regeneration is induced.

Shrink Universe is a device with improved speed and comfort compared to existing Shrink, and detailed treatments are possible through various handpieces such as Ultra Booster.

However, what matters is not the number of shots, but a customized design that suits the facial structure and skin condition.

You can experience a satisfactory lifting effect when a skilled medical professional performs the procedure carefully with sufficient time.

All procedures may vary depending on the individual.

Side effects such as swelling, inflammation, and bleeding may occur, so be careful.
