Geumgok-dong Shurink Universe: 4 things men should know before treatment

The four things men should know when getting Shurink Universe are skin thickness and facial area, preparing beard areas, adjusting exercise and drinking after treatment, and possible reactions. Men's skin tends to be thicker with a larger facial area overall, so in Geumgok-dong consultations, the points to address in energy distribution and pre-treatment preparation differ slightly as well.

• Shot distribution and the depth at which energy is delivered are adjusted based on facial area and skin thickness.
• For areas with facial hair, shaving is checked before the treatment.
• For a few days after treatment, cutting back on saunas, intense exercise, and alcohol tends to help recovery.

What changes in the treatment plan for men's skin?

Men tend to have thicker skin overall with a larger facial area, and if the boundary between the jaw and neck isn't clear, a double chin is sometimes considered alongside it. Because of these traits, the depth of energy delivery and how shots are divided can differ even for the same area.

Shurink Universe is a device that gathers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) near the fascia layer inside the skin to generate heat, and it can deliver energy in either line mode or dot mode. The two methods are sometimes used in combination depending on the width of the area and the amount of fat.

If you have little facial fat and prominent cheekbones, the plan reduces energy to the cheek area, among other adjustments, to avoid a hollow look. Actual skin thickness and fat distribution are the basis for the plan more than gender.

How should I shave areas with facial hair beforehand?

Ultrasound energy is delivered over skin coated with gel, so if facial hair is long, it's harder for the handpiece to make even contact with the skin. For this reason, we often advise shaving the beard area cleanly the evening before or the morning of the treatment.

If there's a cut from shaving, that area can be avoided during the treatment. Right after treatment, the skin has absorbed heat, so shaving can feel more stinging than usual—so you might consider skipping a shave for a day or lightly tidying up with an electric razor instead.

Cut back for a few days on products with a lot of alcohol, like aftershave, and calm the skin with a gentle moisturizer instead. If redness or a stinging feeling in the beard area lasts a long time, please let the clinic know.

When can I go back to exercising, saunas, and drinking?

Since many people return to daily life right after treatment, commuting or working can generally continue as usual. However, activities that heat up the face or greatly increase blood flow can prolong swelling and redness, so it's better to hold off for a few days.

• Rest for a few days from high-intensity exercise that makes you sweat a lot, and start back with light walking.
• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths until the redness and warm feeling have settled.
• Alcohol can increase swelling, so cut back for a few days after the treatment.
• Smoking can slow skin recovery, so cutting back during this period helps.

The treatment itself takes around an hour including the time to apply and wait for numbing cream. Rather than rushing it in during lunch break, booking a time slot with more room to spare lets you comfortably spend the settling time afterward as well.

What reactions, like soreness under the jaw, and rare side effects can occur?

Right after treatment, redness, a warm feeling, and mild swelling can appear and usually settle within a few days. Since men often have the area under the jaw and the jawline treated together, that area can feel sore for a few days when chewing or pressed on.

Rarely, bruising, small blisters, or temporary reduced sensation or numbness can occur. If swelling keeps getting worse or blisters form, please don't pop them yourself—contact the clinic to get checked.

Results and reactions vary by individual, and whether to proceed with treatment and how is decided through examination and consultation with medical staff. If a past treatment left a reaction that lasted a long time for you, please mention it during the consultation.

Things worth preparing before a consultation in Geumgok-dong

If you're planning a Shurink Universe consultation in Geumgok-dong, try jotting down the following in your phone's notes beforehand. Even if the examination time is short, this helps make sure nothing important gets left out.

• Write down which area concerns you most among the jawline, double chin, and cheek sagging.
• Check the dates of any upcoming events where your face will be seen, such as business trips, sports matches, or events.
• Note down any medications you're taking, especially blood thinners.
• Organize the types and timing of any previous lifting, filler, or thread procedures you've had.
• Note down whether your skin tends to redden easily or scar easily.

Letting the clinic know about your regular exercise habits as well helps you get guidance on the rest period after the procedure that fits your schedule. If you regularly do activities like weight training or swimming, please mention which ones.

FAQ

Q. Do men need more shots?

A. If the face area is larger, more shots may be needed for the same area, but this isn't decided by gender alone. The number is allocated by looking at skin thickness, the amount of fat, and the location of sagging together.

Q. Does having dark beard shadow affect the procedure?

A. Since ultrasound energy is focused beneath the skin's surface, the color of beard shadow itself doesn't prevent the procedure from proceeding. However, if shaving is uneven, the handpiece may not make good contact, so the condition is checked before the procedure.

Q. Can I still get the procedure on a day when there's redness after shaving?

A. If shaving irritation has left the skin red or broken, the reaction in that area can be stronger. If there's a wound, that area is avoided or the date is moved until the skin has calmed down.

Q. Can a double chin be treated at the same time?

A. If fat under the chin is a concern, that area can be included in the plan as well. The change you can expect depends on the amount of fat and skin elasticity, so this is checked during the examination first.
