Shurink Universe in Seoul
Shurink Universe is an ultrasound lifting treatment available at DERNA Clinic in Seoul, designed to address skin laxity in the face and around the eyes without surgery. For patients researching Shurink Universe Seoul options, this page explains what the treatment involves, who tends to benefit, and what to expect before booking a consultation. The treatment uses seven specialized tips to customize energy delivery depending on the area being treated, and it is offered in Derma, Eye, and Ultra linear options, priced per 100 shots.
What it is
Shurink Universe belongs to the category of focused ultrasound lifting devices. It works by delivering ultrasound energy at controlled depths beneath the skin surface, which is intended to stimulate the skin's own supportive tissue over time. Because the device offers multiple tip types, a doctor can adjust the treatment plan depending on whether the concern is fine lines around the eyes, general facial laxity, or more linear tightening along the jawline or neck. This flexibility is one reason patients looking into Shurink Universe in Seoul often ask about the Derma, Eye, and Ultra distinctions before their visit.
It is worth noting that ultrasound lifting treatments, including this one, are not a substitute for surgical facelifts. They are generally positioned as a non-surgical option for people who want some improvement in skin firmness without downtime associated with surgery. Results vary from person to person depending on skin condition, age, and how the body responds to the treatment.
Who it suits
- Adults noticing early to moderate skin laxity on the cheeks, jawline, or under the chin.
- Patients interested in a non-surgical option with limited recovery time.
- Those who want a treatment that can be customized to a specific area, such as the under-eye region, using the Eye tip.
- Patients who have realistic expectations about gradual, moderate improvement rather than a dramatic surgical-level change.
Who should avoid it
- Pregnant individuals, or those who suspect they may be pregnant.
- Patients with active skin infections, open wounds, or significant inflammation in the treatment area.
- People with certain implanted medical devices, unless cleared by their doctor beforehand.
- Patients with unrealistic expectations of permanent or dramatic results, since outcomes are gradual and vary by individual.
A consultation with a doctor at the clinic is the appropriate way to determine individual suitability, since medical history and skin condition both factor into whether this treatment is appropriate.
How the session goes
During a typical visit, a doctor first assesses the skin and discusses which tip type, or combination, fits the patient's concerns. Numbing cream may be applied beforehand to improve comfort, though sensation during ultrasound delivery can still vary. The practitioner then moves the device across the treatment area, delivering shots in a pattern determined by the treatment plan. Sessions are generally organized in units of 100 shots, and the total number of shots used depends on the size of the area and the specific concern being addressed.
Patients often describe a warming or tingling sensation as the ultrasound energy reaches the target depth. Some areas, such as around the eyes, may feel more sensitive than others. The clinical staff monitor comfort levels throughout and can adjust settings if needed.
Downtime and recovery
One of the appeals of ultrasound lifting treatments is the limited downtime compared to surgical procedures. Most patients can resume normal daily activities shortly after the session. Some mild redness or a warm sensation in the treated area is common immediately afterward and typically settles within a few hours to a day.
Bruising or mild swelling is possible but not universal, and its extent varies by individual. Patients are generally advised to avoid excessive sun exposure, saunas, or strenuous exercise for a short period following treatment, though specific aftercare instructions should come directly from the treating doctor. Visible improvement in skin firmness is usually gradual, developing over several weeks as the body responds to the treatment, rather than appearing immediately.
Pricing
Shurink Universe is priced at 69,000 KRW per 100 shots. The total cost for a full treatment session depends on how many shots are needed to cover the target area, which is determined during consultation based on the size of the zone and the specific tip or tips used.

Prices may not include VAT, and a consultation fee may apply separately depending on the visit. Patients should confirm the final quote with clinic staff before committing to a treatment plan, since the number of shots required can differ between individuals.
Safety
As with any energy-based skin treatment, safety depends on proper patient screening, correct device settings, and an experienced practitioner. At DERNA Clinic, treatments are administered by licensed doctors on staff, and the clinic asks patients to disclose relevant medical history, allergies, and any prior cosmetic procedures during consultation. This helps the treating doctor determine an appropriate energy level and shot count for the individual.
Side effects are generally described as mild and temporary, such as redness, warmth, or occasional bruising, but individual reactions can differ. Patients with specific medical conditions or those taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, should mention this during consultation so the doctor can advise accordingly. No treatment can be guaranteed to produce a specific outcome, and results are described in general ranges rather than fixed promises.
DERNA Clinic is located at B2F, 17 Seocho-daero 77-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, and is open Monday through Sunday from 10:00 to 22:00, with the exception of a staff training hour on Wednesday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00 when patients are not seen.
