Treatment Overview
Shurink Universe is the latest-generation Korean HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) system, designed for non-surgical lifting and tightening of the face and body. It delivers ultrasound energy at multiple depths — 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.5 mm, and body-level cartridges — targeting both the dermis and SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) for layered tightening.
Compared to earlier Shurink devices, Shurink Universe offers faster treatment, more precise energy delivery, and improved comfort, making it one of the most advanced HIFU systems in Korean dermatology clinics.

- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and fine wrinkles.
- Jawline Definition: Sharpens V-line contour and reduces double chin.
- Customizable Care: Cartridges for face, eye area, and body.
