Shurink Lifting Guide | Non-Surgical Skin Tightening in Korea

Looking for a firmer jawline, lifted cheeks, and tighter skin—without surgery? The Shurink Lifting treatment is Korea’s popular alternative to Ultherapy and Thermage. Using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), Shurink rejuvenates and lifts the skin from deep within, offering visible anti-aging results with zero downtime.


What Is Shurink Lifting?

Shurink is a non-invasive lifting and tightening procedure that uses HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to target the SMAS layer (the same layer tightened during a surgical facelift), as well as the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

The device delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy to:

  • Stimulate collagen regeneration
  • Improve skin laxity
  • Reduce fine lines, jowls, and sagging
  • Enhance facial contours and V-line definition


What Areas Can Shurink Treat?

  • Jawline and jowls
  • Cheeks and midface
  • Double chin
  • Eyebrows and forehead
  • Under the eyes
  • Neck and décolletage

It’s safe for both face and body, and can also be used for areas like the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms.


Key Benefits of Shurink

  • Non-surgical and non-invasive
  • No downtime—return to daily life immediately
