1 / 5Shurink Universe HIFU at UPIC Clinic Myeongdong is a non-surgical focused-ultrasound treatment for selected concerns involving mild facial laxity, reduced firmness and early changes in facial contour.
Shurink Universe is the Korean name for the Ultraformer MPT platform. It delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound at selected tissue depths without making surgical incisions. Different cartridges and treatment modes allow the practitioner to plan energy delivery according to the area, skin condition and intended treatment goal.
The procedure is not equivalent to a surgical facelift. It cannot remove excess skin, reshape facial bones or guarantee a particular jawline or V-line result. A consultation is required to assess the concern and confirm the cartridge depths, treatment areas, shot count, expected sensations, recovery and current price.
Fornur helps international visitors explore Skin & Aesthetic services in Korea and request consultations with available clinic partners. The consultation request is free. Shurink Universe treatment is charged separately.
UPIC Clinic Myeongdong currently provides Shurink Universe, the Korean-market name for the Classys Ultraformer MPT focused-ultrasound platform.
The system has Normal, or dot, mode and MP mode. It also supports facial cartridge depths including 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm. These depths are intended to reach different tissue layers and must be selected according to the treatment area and clinical assessment.
Shurink Universe may be considered when the concern involves mild skin laxity, reduced firmness or early changes around facial contours. It is less likely to provide sufficient correction when substantial loose skin, significant volume loss or underlying bone structure is the main concern.
Shurink Universe delivers focused ultrasound beneath the skin to create controlled thermal treatment points within the selected tissue layer.
This controlled heating initiates a tissue-remodelling response. Changes associated with collagen organisation and contraction develop progressively rather than producing a guaranteed final result immediately after treatment.
The device provides two main energy-delivery modes. Normal mode delivers separate treatment points, while MP mode delivers energy across a broader treatment line. The practitioner selects the mode, depth, direction and energy according to the treatment plan.
A greater number of shots does not automatically produce a better outcome. Correct depth, placement, energy selection and avoidance of sensitive anatomical structures are equally important.
UPIC Clinic currently describes seven facial cartridge configurations across its standard and pen-style handpieces.
The available depths include:
Cartridge depth | General treatment-planning consideration |
1.5 mm | More superficial skin layers and selected skin-quality goals |
2.0 mm | Smaller or anatomically delicate facial areas |
3.0 mm | Deeper dermal and selected firmness concerns |
4.5 mm | Deeper facial tissue layers used in selected lifting plans |
These descriptions are general. They do not mean that every depth should be used on every patient or that a particular depth guarantees a particular result.
The practitioner should identify which cartridges are being proposed, where they will be used and how many shots will be delivered with each one.
A Shurink Universe consultation may be relevant when the concern involves mild facial laxity, early jowling, reduced jawline visibility, sagging-looking cheeks or reduced firmness around the lower face.
People also commonly request assessment of fullness or looseness beneath the chin, neck firmness and the brow area. The clinic must confirm whether the requested area is appropriate for the device and whether the concern is likely to respond to ultrasound treatment.
The assessment should determine whether the visible concern is primarily related to skin laxity, facial fat, muscle activity, volume loss, swelling or skeletal structure.
Focused ultrasound cannot correct every cause of a less-defined facial contour. Someone with substantial volume loss, significant excess skin or a bone-related concern may require a different treatment approach.
Shurink Universe may be discussed when early laxity or soft-tissue position is reducing the visibility of the jawline.
The treatment cannot reduce the width of the jawbone or guarantee a permanently slimmer lower face. It also does not automatically treat jaw-muscle size or substantial pockets of facial fat.
The clinic should explain what tissue is being targeted and whether the intended goal involves skin firmness, soft-tissue contour or another concern.
Focused ultrasound may be considered for selected cheek and mid-face laxity, but treatment planning must account for existing facial volume.
People with naturally lean faces or established volume loss may not benefit from an aggressive contour-focused plan. Further reduction in soft-tissue fullness could be undesirable in some facial areas.
Previous fillers, threads, facial surgery and energy-based treatments should be disclosed because they can influence cartridge selection and treatment placement.
Shurink Universe includes cartridge configurations intended for smaller and more delicate facial areas.
Treatment near the brow or eyes requires careful anatomical planning. Focused ultrasound energy must not be directed towards the eye, and complete contact between the handpiece and skin is important during treatment.
The clinic should confirm the treatment boundary, cartridge depth, practitioner responsible and safety precautions before treating near the brow or upper face.
Shurink Universe does not use surgical incisions, remove excess skin or surgically reposition facial tissue.
A surgical facelift can produce a greater degree of correction for substantial laxity because tissue is directly repositioned and excess skin can be removed. It also involves a different level of anaesthesia, recovery and medical risk.
Shurink Universe is more appropriately considered for selected patients seeking a limited, non-surgical change. It should not be marketed as producing the same result or duration as facial surgery.
The consultation should review facial anatomy, skin thickness, the degree of laxity, existing facial volume, previous procedures and the result you expect.
Before agreeing to treatment, confirm:
The exact Shurink Universe or Ultraformer MPT device
The areas being treated and areas being avoided
The cartridge depths and total number of shots
The energy modes and intended treatment goal
The practitioner responsible for the procedure
Expected discomfort, recovery, follow-up and complete price
Tell the clinic about previous HIFU or radiofrequency treatments, fillers, threads, facial surgery and dental or facial implants.
You should also disclose active skin conditions, reduced facial sensation, neurological conditions, implanted medical devices, medication and supplements that could affect treatment or healing.
Do not stop prescribed medication unless the healthcare professional responsible for it advises you to do so.
The practitioner first examines and marks the agreed treatment areas. Ultrasound gel is applied to maintain appropriate contact between the handpiece and skin.
The selected cartridge is then positioned over the planned area, and focused-ultrasound energy is delivered at the chosen depth.
Sensations can include warmth, pressure, tingling, brief sharp feelings or tenderness, particularly over bony areas. Comfort differs according to cartridge depth, energy setting, facial area and individual sensitivity.
The procedure should not be described as painless. Tell the practitioner immediately if you experience severe pain, burning, electrical sensations or discomfort that differs substantially from what was explained.
The previously published estimate of 20 to 45 minutes should not be presented as a guaranteed duration. Appointment length depends on the areas, shot count, cartridges, preparation, consultation and post-treatment assessment.
The number of shots should be determined by the treatment area, facial size, degree of laxity, cartridge selection and planned treatment pattern.
A package offering more shots is not automatically more appropriate. Delivering energy to the correct tissue layer and avoiding unsuitable areas are more important than using the highest available number.
Before payment, ask for written confirmation of the total shot count, areas included, cartridge depths and whether additional shots carry a separate charge.
Some people may be advised to have one treatment followed by reassessment. Others may be offered further treatment after the initial response has been reviewed. One universal session schedule is not appropriate for every patient.
Some patients notice an early change in firmness, while further tissue remodelling is assessed gradually over the following weeks.
The degree of improvement varies according to age, facial anatomy, skin condition, degree of laxity, cartridge selection, energy settings, shot placement and individual response.
Clinical reviews of facial focused-ultrasound treatment generally describe moderate rather than surgical-level improvement. Study methods and treatment protocols also vary, which makes it inappropriate to promise one standard result or duration.
The previously published claim that results typically last six to twelve months should not be presented as a guarantee. Continuing ageing, weight change, skin quality and future treatments can affect how long the visible change remains.
The systematic review of microfocused ultrasound for facial rejuvenation provides further context on treatment outcomes, discomfort and reported adverse reactions.
Recovery and AftercareMany people can continue routine activities after treatment, but “no downtime” should not be guaranteed.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, tingling, sensitivity, bruising or numbness can occur. Soreness may be more noticeable when touching the area or moving the face.
The clinic should provide instructions covering skincare, makeup, exercise, heat exposure, alcohol, facial massage, other aesthetic procedures and follow-up.
Seek prompt medical assessment if you develop blistering, increasing pain, persistent numbness, marked swelling, facial weakness, significant asymmetry, skin discolouration, eye symptoms or another reaction that differs substantially from the recovery described before treatment.
Focused-ultrasound treatment is non-surgical, but it is not risk-free.
The FDA’s focused-ultrasound safety guidance advises against treatment over open wounds, severe or cystic acne, active implanted devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, and metallic implants in the treatment area.
The guidance also stresses complete handpiece contact and avoiding ultrasound exposure to the eyes.
Tell the clinic if you have an active infection, open skin, inflamed acne, reduced sensation, facial implants, metal in the treatment area or an implanted electronic medical device.
Recent fillers, thread lifting, facial surgery, diagnosed neurological conditions, pregnancy and breastfeeding should also be disclosed so that suitability and timing can be assessed.
Shurink Universe PricingThe consultation request submitted through Fornur is free. Shurink Universe HIFU treatment is not free.
Pricing can depend on the number of shots, cartridge depths, areas treated, face-only or face-and-neck planning, pain-management arrangements and whether another procedure is included.
Before paying, request written confirmation of the device, total shot count, treatment areas, cartridge depths, session quantity, package validity and any additional charges.
Do not rely on a promotional package described only by its shot count without confirming where and how those shots will be delivered.
International visitors should allow enough time for consultation, treatment, the initial skin response and any recommended follow-up.
When submitting your Fornur enquiry, include:
Your main facial concern and the area you want assessed
Previous HIFU, radiofrequency, filler, thread or surgical treatments
Facial, dental, metallic or electronic implants
Relevant medical conditions, medication and supplements
Preferred treatment dates and departure date
Important events and acceptable recovery time
The clinic must confirm appointment availability, available language support, practitioner details, device authenticity, shot count, current price and follow-up arrangements.
Fornur facilitates the consultation enquiry. It does not diagnose facial concerns, select cartridges or perform the treatment.
Visitors can also explore other Beauty & Medical services in Korea.
Shurink Universe is one of several lifting and tightening approaches available through Fornur listings.
Ultherapy Prime at UPIC Clinic also uses focused ultrasound, but it is a different branded platform with different imaging and treatment protocols.
Thermage FLX at UPIC Clinic Myeongdong uses monopolar radiofrequency rather than focused ultrasound.
A thread lift at UPIC Clinic uses inserted threads to mechanically support selected facial tissues and is minimally invasive rather than non-invasive.
People whose main concern involves lower-face fullness rather than skin laxity can separately review face contouring at UPIC Clinic.
These treatments are not interchangeable. The appropriate option depends on whether the main concern involves laxity, tissue position, facial fullness, volume loss or underlying facial structure.
