Shurink Universe in Seoul
Shurink Universe is an ultrasound-based lifting treatment offered at DERNA Clinic in Seoul, designed to address mild to moderate skin laxity using focused sound energy. If you are researching Shurink Universe Seoul options while planning a visit, this page explains what the treatment involves, who it is suited for, and what to expect before, during, and after a session. The treatment uses seven specialized tips, allowing a practitioner to tailor energy depth and pattern to different facial areas, including the under-eye region and along the jawline or neck.
What it is
Shurink Universe is a customized ultrasound lifting treatment that delivers focused ultrasound energy to targeted layers of tissue beneath the skin. Unlike a single fixed applicator, this system offers seven interchangeable tips, which are grouped into three main categories at DERNA Clinic: Derma, Eye, and Ultra, the last being a linear delivery mode. Each tip is designed to reach a specific depth or treat a specific area, which allows the practitioner to build a session around a patient's particular concerns rather than applying one generic setting to the whole face. Pricing is calculated per 100 shots, which lets the clinician scale the treatment plan according to the size of the area being addressed and the density of energy delivery required.
The underlying concept is similar to other ultrasound lifting devices used in aesthetic medicine: controlled thermal energy is directed into deeper skin layers to encourage a tightening response over time. It is generally categorized as a non-surgical option for patients who want to address early signs of skin laxity without undergoing a surgical lift.
Who it suits
This treatment is typically considered by patients who notice early to moderate skin laxity in the face, jawline, or under-eye area but who are not yet candidates for, or not interested in, surgical intervention. People in this category often describe mild sagging, a less defined jawline contour, or loss of firmness that has developed gradually. Because the tips can be adjusted, some patients seek Shurink Universe in Seoul clinics specifically for under-eye concerns using the Eye tip, while others focus on the lower face or neck using Derma or Ultra settings.
Individual results vary considerably depending on skin quality, age, degree of laxity, and how the body responds to the ultrasound energy. A consultation with a physician at the clinic is necessary to determine which tips and shot counts are appropriate for a given case; this page describes general information only and is not a substitute for that assessment.
Who should avoid it
Ultrasound lifting treatments are not appropriate for everyone. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area, and individuals with certain implanted devices or metal implants near the treatment site should discuss these factors with a physician before proceeding. People with active severe acne, certain autoimmune or connective tissue conditions, or a history of keloid scarring should also raise this during consultation, as it may affect suitability or require modified settings. Because response and safety depend on individual health history, a full medical review at DERNA Clinic is required before any session is scheduled, and the clinic reserves the right to decline treatment where it is not considered appropriate.
How the session goes
A typical visit begins with a consultation, during which the treating physician reviews the patient's skin, medical history, and aesthetic goals. Based on this review, the practitioner selects a combination of tips and determines an approximate shot count for the areas being treated. A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand to reduce discomfort, since ultrasound energy can produce a warm or prickling sensation as it reaches deeper tissue layers.
During the treatment itself, the practitioner moves the selected applicator tip systematically across the marked treatment zones, delivering measured pulses of ultrasound energy. Patients commonly describe sensations ranging from mild warmth to brief, sharper discomfort at certain depths, though this is generally tolerable, particularly with numbing cream in place. Session length depends on the areas covered and the number of shots planned, and the physician may adjust the plan in real time based on how the skin responds and the patient's feedback.
Downtime and recovery
Most patients can resume normal daily activities shortly after the session, as Shurink Universe is considered a non-surgical option with limited downtime compared to invasive lifting procedures. Some redness, mild swelling, or a sensation of tightness in the treated area is common in the first day or two following treatment. Bruising is possible, though not universal, and tends to resolve within a week or so for most people.
Visible tightening effects are typically gradual rather than immediate, since the treatment works by stimulating a longer-term tissue response. Patients are usually advised to avoid excessive sun exposure, saunas, and strenuous exercise for a short period after treatment, and to follow any specific aftercare instructions given by the treating physician. Results and recovery timelines differ from person to person, and repeat sessions may be recommended depending on the individual's goals and how their skin responds over time.
Pricing
Shurink Universe at DERNA Clinic is priced at 69,000 KRW per 100 shots. The total cost of a session therefore depends on how many shots and which tips are used, which is determined during the consultation based on the treatment area and the patient's needs. Prices may be subject to VAT, and the final consultation fee or total treatment cost can vary depending on the scope of the plan agreed with the physician.
| Treatment | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Shurink Universe | Per 100 shots | 69,000 KRW |
Safety
Ultrasound lifting treatments such as Shurink Universe are generally considered a lower-risk category compared to surgical lifting, but they are not without possible side effects, including temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or localized discomfort. As with any energy-based aesthetic treatment, outcomes and tolerability differ between individuals, and no specific result can be guaranteed in advance. DERNA Clinic's medical team, which includes physicians such as Kim Yunseok, an orthopedic surgeon and the clinic's representative director, along with several other doctors on staff, conducts consultations to review each patient's history before treatment. Patients visiting from abroad should plan for a consultation appointment in advance and disclose any relevant medical conditions or medications, particularly anticoagulants, so the treating physician can plan the session appropriately.
