A Shurink shot is one pulse of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) that converges into small heat points under the skin, so a 300-shot and a 900-shot session cover very different amounts of face. Comparing Shurink in Korea comes down to the shot count, which areas receive it and how the eyes are handled. ENTER Plastic Surgery in Seoul uses Shurink Universe from Classys, with 300, 600 and 900-shot face tiers and a separate 100-shot eye line.
Before you book
Eight things a Shurink quote should answer
A Shurink price can look simple, a number of shots and a fee. Behind it sit decisions about areas, the eyes and aftercare, and these eight questions bring them out.
Shurink Universe by name
Many HIFU devices are sold for lifting under similar names. Ask that the quote names Shurink Universe so you know which device you are paying for.
Where the shots go
Ask how the shots split between the jawline, cheeks, under the chin and the neck. The same count spread thinly over a wide area is a lighter treatment.
Eye area as its own line
Skin around the eyes is thin and close to the eyeball. At ENTER Plastic Surgery it is a separate 100-shot line, so ask whether it is included or extra.
Eye protection
If shots go near the lids or brow, find out what covers your eyes during treatment and the closest distance the handpiece will come to the lash line.
The ache that follows
A deep, stiff ache along the jaw and cheekbones can last one to two weeks. Ask how to manage it if your trip includes meetings or photos.
Numbing
Numbing cream is used. Ask how long it is left on and how the session is paced if the heat feels strong.
Repeat interval
The clinic's plan is one or two sessions, three to six months apart. A quote that offers weekly repeats is a different plan.
Nerve symptoms
Ask what to do if numbness or weakness appears on one side of the face after you are home.

Best Shurink in Seoul: How HIFU Shots Get Packaged
Shurink appears on many lifting menus in Seoul, priced per shot package. The packaging differs from one setting to another, and the question in the last column shows what the package holds.
| Setting | How Shurink is packaged | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic surgery clinic with lifting devices | Face tiers beside radiofrequency, other ultrasound devices and surgery | Is my sagging within reach of HIFU? |
| Skin and laser clinic | Large shot counts at a set price | Is this Shurink Universe or another HIFU? |
| Face and eye combination | Face shots with eye shots added | How many shots go near my eyes? |
| Body contouring menu | Body shots sold in bigger packages | Which body areas, and how many sessions? |
Get the device name, the shots per area and any eye shots written down, and the comparison becomes fair.
Prices
Shurink Universe prices by shot package at ENTER Plastic Surgery

Device used
Shurink Universe from Classys: focused ultrasound in pulses
The device on the clinic's menu is Shurink Universe, made by Classys, a Korean company. Ultrasound passes through the skin and converges at a set depth beneath it, where each pulse forms a tiny point of heat. The aim is to contract collagen at that depth and start a slow repair process, so any firming builds over the weeks after a session.
| Feature | What it means for a session |
|---|---|
| Focused ultrasound (HIFU) | Heat points form below the surface, not on it |
| Shot count | The unit for coverage and for the price |
| Eye line | A smaller, separate package for thin skin |
| Numbing cream | Applied before the handpiece starts |
Ultherapy works on a related principle, yet it is a separate machine from another manufacturer, and it has its own line on the clinic's menu.
Timeline
Shurink from the session to the next appointment months later
These timings come from the clinic's aftercare guidance. Faces respond differently to heat, so use them to plan a trip.
| When | What to expect, per the clinic |
|---|---|
| Session | 20–40 minutes with numbing cream |
| Same day | Flying home is allowed |
| Days 3–7 | Swelling may last up to a week |
| Up to two weeks | Jaw and cheekbone soreness, felt deep and stiff |
| Weeks 2–4 | No hard-pressure facial massage |
| Months 3–6 | A second session if planned |
| Months 6–12 | The span the effect is expected to last |
The massage rule matters if a spa visit is on your itinerary. In focused ultrasound study protocols, strenuous exercise was avoided for three to five days while daily activity went on as normal; the clinic's instruction on the day takes priority over that general figure.
Evidence
What HIFU research reports, from benefits to nerve and eye injury
The three papers below concern HIFU in general and do not name Shurink Universe. A 2025 systematic review called HIFU a promising option with short downtime for skin tightening and body contouring, rated the evidence low and said treatment protocols still need to be standardized (Haykal, 2025).
Two case reports describe the harm that heat in the wrong place can do. One documents facial nerve injury in a 33-year-old woman after HIFU for sagging skin, and the authors urged practitioners to keep the possibility in mind (Sathaworawong, 2017). The other describes reduced vision, raised eye pressure, signs of optic nerve damage and spasm of focusing after a cosmetic ultrasound treatment near the eye (Chen, 2018). Case reports show what can happen, not how often.
- Redness and swelling for several days
- A deep ache over the jaw and cheekbones for one to two weeks
- Raised lines or small bruises where rows of shots landed
- Temporary numbness or weakness of a facial nerve branch
- Eye injury if shots are placed too close without protection
At ENTER
Shurink in ENTER Plastic Surgery's depth-based lifting plan
At ENTER Plastic Surgery each lifting device is matched to a depth. Focused ultrasound such as Shurink Universe heads for the deeper fibrous layer under the fat, radiofrequency for the dermis, and injectables sit near the surface. Sagging that has moved past what heat can tighten is a surgical question, and the clinic's facelift surgeon is Dr. Jang Jin-woo, who holds Korean board certification as a plastic surgeon.
Photos of your lower face from the front and both sides, sent on WhatsApp or the page's booking form, help the clinic suggest a shot plan before you fly. For the visit itself, English-speaking staff are available at the clinic; a reply follows as soon as possible.

FAQ
Shurink HIFU in Korea: questions people weigh before booking
Which Shurink shot count fits my face?
It depends on the areas and how loose the tissue is. Face tiers are 300, 600 and 900 shots, with a separate 100-shot eye line. The plan you receive should show where the shots are placed, not just the total number.
Why does my jaw ache after Shurink?
The heat points form deep under the skin, and the tissue around them reacts. By the clinic's guidance, a stiff, throbbing ache along the jaw and cheekbones can last one to two weeks, with swelling for three to seven days. Contact the clinic if it worsens.
How often can Shurink be repeated?
The clinic's plan is one or two sessions, three to six months apart, with the effect expected to last about six to twelve months. Repeating much sooner is not part of that plan, so ask about it if a quote suggests it.
Is the Shurink eye line safe for the eyelids?
It is a separate 100-shot line for the thin skin around the eyes, and care is needed. A case report described lasting vision problems after cosmetic ultrasound near the eye, so ask how your eyes are shielded and how close the shots go.
What does Shurink cost in Korea?
At ENTER Plastic Surgery, a 300-shot face session of Shurink Universe costs ₩400,000 per session, excluding VAT (10% VAT is added at payment); the 600 and 900-shot tiers and the 100-shot eye line are priced on separate cards.
Can I travel home the day I have Shurink?
Yes. The clinic allows a same-day flight. Swelling may stay for a few days and the jaw may ache for one to two weeks, and pressing facial massage should wait two to four weeks, so plan any spa treatments for later.
Is body Shurink a separate treatment?
Yes. Body Shurink has its own menu, sold as 800, 1,600 or 2,400-shot packages for areas such as the abdomen or thighs. Its 800-shot package costs ₩2,400,000 before tax; 10% VAT goes on top at the till.
How can I plan Shurink before I arrive in Seoul?
English-speaking staff are available at the clinic. Before you arrive, send front and side photos of your lower face and your travel dates on WhatsApp or via the form below. Since this page gives no deposit or cancellation terms, ask for them in writing before paying.
