One factor that helps estimate a person’s age is their skin. Although it varies individually, skin changes can occur with age due to a decrease in elastic fibers. Skin aging refers to the reduction of elastic fibers in the dermis, which leads to wrinkles and ptosis.
Aged skin does not recover naturally. So how can wrinkled and sagging skin be restored?Skin tightening procedures are one option to help alleviate changes caused by decreased skin elasticity. The appropriate procedure may vary depending on the individual's skin condition and goals. Because skin types and treatment objectives differ, it is important to consider these factors in detail and select the suitable procedure.

Procedures using Shurink Universe
Mind Dermatology at Hongdae Entrance Station,Procedures using Shurink Universe are non-surgical treatments that use high-intensity ultrasound. They are characterized by delivering energy to the key layers responsible for skin firmness while sparing the skin surface from damage.
Ultrasound energy is known to deliver thermal stimulation to skin tissue, inducing collagen-related responses, and individual responses may vary depending on the patient’s condition.
As a non-invasive procedure that does not involve incisions or injections, many patients can return to daily activities relatively quickly; however, recovery speed and sensations may differ between individuals.
Although responses vary by person, many patients report noticing a changed feeling immediately after the procedure. Effects depend on individual skin condition and constitution, and this method is often considered a low-burden tightening option for those with busy schedules.
When lasers are applied, skin tissue coagulates and contracts, producing a lifting effect that can elevate sagging skin and make facial features appear more defined.
In particular,laser or ultrasound procedures deliver thermal stimulation to skin layers and may produce a temporary tightening response; the treated area and sensations can vary between individuals.
The Shurink device used in treatment employs high-intensity focused ultrasound to deliver ultrasound energy into the skin layers as a non-surgical tightening procedure, and appropriate settings should be chosen by the operator.
