Shurink HIFU Lifting in Gangnam, Seoul: Procedure & Cost
Shurink is a Korean HIFU lifting device used to firm the jawline, cheeks and neck without surgery or incisions.
Shurink is a Korean high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device made by Classys that heats the SMAS and deeper skin layers to tighten tissue and stimulate collagen. It suits mild to moderate sagging and is often used for regular maintenance. Treatment takes about 20–30 minutes for the face (30–45 minutes with the neck), with only mild redness or swelling for a few hours; the best lift appears after 2–3 months and is usually repeated every 6–12 months. Typical Seoul pricing ranges from ₩300,000 for a partial area to about ₩1,200,000 for face and neck.
What is Shurink?
Shurink is a HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) device developed by Classys in Korea. It delivers focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) and dermis, creating controlled heat points under the skin without damaging the surface. This triggers tissue contraction and new collagen production.
Shurink is often compared to Ultherapy. Both are HIFU; Shurink is generally more affordable, which makes it popular for regular maintenance, while Ultherapy uses real-time ultrasound imaging during treatment.

Procedure and aftercare

- Comfort: numbing cream may be applied.
- Treatment: the handpiece delivers focused ultrasound to the targeted areas—about 20–30 minutes for the face, 30–45 minutes for face and neck.
After treatment: mild redness or swelling may last a few hours. Avoid hot saunas or intense exercise for 1–2 days, apply sunscreen and keep skin hydrated. Most people return to daily activities the same day.
