What Is It

Shurink Universe Overview

HIFU · Focused Ultrasound · SMAS Lifting
Non-Surgical Facelift via Focused Ultrasound

Shurink Universe is a next-generation HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) device developed in Korea. It delivers precise ultrasound energy at three depths — 1.5mm (dermis), 3.0mm (subcutaneous fat) and 4.5mm (SMAS layer) — creating controlled thermal coagulation points that trigger the body's natural tissue repair mechanism.

The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is the same fascial layer surgeons tighten during a traditional facelift. By reaching this depth non-invasively, Shurink delivers lifting results that older surface treatments cannot achieve.

Compared to first-generation HIFU like Ultherapy, Shurink Universe features faster shot delivery and updated transducers that maximize comfort while maintaining clinical efficacy — making it the most popular HIFU device in Seoul's Gangnam district.
