Shurink Universe HIFU Face Lifting in Korea
Shurink Universe is Korea’s most popular HIFU device for non-surgical face lifting. It delivers focused ultrasound to the SMAS layer at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm depths, creating thermal coagulation points that trigger collagen contraction and neocollagenesis. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, V-Line combination packages pair Shurink with InMode for comprehensive contouring from ₩399,000.
What Is Shurink Universe HIFU and Why Choose Korea?
Shurink Universe is a High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) device that delivers focused energy to the SMAS layer — the same tissue layer targeted in surgical facelifts — without incisions. Korea performs more HIFU treatments than any other country, giving Korean physicians unmatched experience. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, V-Line packages combining Shurink with InMode start from ₩399,000 excluding VAT.
Shurink Universe delivers focused ultrasound energy that bypasses the epidermis and dermis to create precise thermal coagulation points at the SMAS layer (4.5mm), deep dermis (3.0mm), and superficial dermis (1.5mm). These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s wound-healing response, producing new collagen and elastin for progressive tightening and lifting over 1-3 months. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Head Director Dr. Seung-Jae Baek (License No. 143338) combines Shurink with InMode FX and Forma for the V-Line Entry Package, addressing both deep structural lifting and superficial tissue tightening. For patients seeking more comprehensive results, Ultherapy Prime offers real-time ultrasound visualization, while Sofwave provides precise mid-dermal collagen remodeling. Korea’s competitive aesthetic market means transparent pricing, physician-only treatment, and genuine device consumables. RE:BERRY Myeongdong operates 365 days with 8-language support, located 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8.
HIFU Lifting Before & After at RE:BERRY Korea
Actual patient results from lifting treatments. Individual outcomes may vary.
How Shurink Universe HIFU Works at RE:BERRY Korea
Assessment & Planning
Dr. Baek evaluates facial structure, skin laxity, and fat distribution. Cartridge depths (1.5/3.0/4.5mm) and shot count (300-800) determined based on individual goals. Combination with InMode or other devices discussed.
Marking & Preparation
Treatment zones precisely marked on the face. Ultrasound gel applied for energy coupling. SMAS-targeting 4.5mm cartridge loaded first for deep structural lifting. Topical numbing available for sensitive patients.
Focused Ultrasound Delivery
The physician delivers HIFU energy creating thermal coagulation points at precise depths. Each shot heats tissue to 60-70 degrees Celsius at the focal point. Treatment takes 30-45 minutes for full face. Patients feel brief tingling with each pulse.
Recovery & Results
Minimal redness resolves within hours. Resume activities immediately. Results develop over 1-3 months as new collagen forms. Peak improvement at 2-3 months. Maintenance every 6-12 months recommended.

| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Mild redness, slight tenderness. Some immediate tightening visible. Resume normal activities. |
| Week 1-2 | Tenderness resolves. Skin begins to feel firmer as initial collagen contraction stabilizes. |
| Month 1 | Progressive lifting becomes visible. Jawline appears more defined. |
| Month 2-3 | Peak results. Significant improvement in facial contour, jawline definition, and skin firmness. |
| Month 6 | Results well-maintained. Consider complementary treatment or maintenance session. |
| Month 12 | Maintenance session recommended to sustain lifting effects. |

The Science Behind HIFU Lifting Technology
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Mechanism
HIFU devices like Shurink Universe focus ultrasound waves into a precise point beneath the skin surface, similar to how a magnifying glass focuses sunlight. At the focal point, tissue temperature reaches 60-70 degrees Celsius, creating discrete thermal coagulation points (TCPs). These micro-injuries trigger the body’s wound-healing cascade: inflammatory cytokines recruit fibroblasts, which synthesize new Type I and Type III collagen fibers over 1-3 months.
SMAS Layer: The Surgical Facelift Target
The Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) is a continuous fibromuscular sheet connecting facial muscles to the dermis. When surgeons perform facelifts, they physically reposition this layer. HIFU achieves a similar effect non-invasively by creating thermal contraction points within the SMAS at 4.5mm depth. Alam et al. (2010) first demonstrated that micro-focused ultrasound could produce histologically confirmed SMAS coagulation with subsequent tissue remodeling.
Korea’s HIFU Volume Advantage
Korea accounts for the highest per-capita HIFU treatment rate globally. This volume means Korean physicians have refined protocols for optimal shot placement, energy settings, and combination approaches. RE:BERRY Myeongdong leverages this experience to combine Shurink Universe with InMode, Onda, and other technologies for multi-mechanism lifting unavailable at most international clinics.
Combination Approach: HIFU + RF
While HIFU targets specific tissue depths with focal-point heating, radiofrequency (InMode, Thermage) provides broad superficial tightening. RE:BERRY’s V-Line package combines both mechanisms: Shurink addresses the SMAS foundation while InMode Forma and FX tighten and contour the superficial tissue layer. This dual-mechanism approach produces more comprehensive results than either technology alone.

What Patients Say About Shurink HIFU in Korea
“The V-Line package at RE:BERRY Myeongdong was exactly what I needed. Shurink 300 shots combined with InMode gave me a noticeably sharper jawline within 2 months. At ₩399,000, it was far more affordable than similar treatments in Tokyo.”
“Dr. Baek explained the differences between Shurink and Ultherapy clearly and recommended starting with the V-Line combo. The HIFU part was slightly uncomfortable but tolerable. Results appeared gradually — by month 3, friends noticed my face looked slimmer.”
“I chose Korea specifically for HIFU because Korean doctors have the most experience. The whole V-Line treatment at RE:BERRY took about an hour. Walked to Myeongdong shopping right after. The combination approach — deep and superficial — made a real difference.”
