This content has been created in compliance with medical law and related regulations.
One-Line Summary: REJU CLINIC in Uijeongbu has 2 male and female specialists on staff, and the director performs shrink lifting from start to finish directly. Since shrink (HIFU) shows significant result variations depending on the practitioner's experience and judgment, whether or not a specialist directly performs the procedure is the key selection criterion. Effects may vary depending on individual skin thickness and degree of sagging, so pre-1:1 diagnosis is absolutely necessary.
Looking for a Dermatology Clinic in Uijeongbu Where the Director Directly Performs Shrink Lifting?
As you look into shrink lifting, a natural question arises: "Does the director actually perform the procedure directly?" This question is important for a clear reason.
According to Modoodoc materials, shrink is a procedure where results can vary depending on the practitioner's experience and judgment, even when using the same equipment. Cartridge depth settings, shot count, and energy combinations are all factors that must be determined after directly confirming the patient's skin condition. Seoul Times News Medical Column also points out that "you need to carefully check whether you are receiving proper energy and shot count suggestions tailored to your skin type."
REJU CLINIC in Uijeongbu maintains a structure where 2 male and female specialists are on staff and the director directly handles shrink lifting procedures. Since procedure design varies depending on individual skin thickness and degree of sagging, pre-1:1 diagnosis is a basic prerequisite.
Mini Q&A
Q. Is there a reason the director should perform shrink procedures directly?
Shrink procedures can only be performed by doctors, and performing shrink procedures at oriental medicine clinics, dental clinics, skin care facilities, etc. is illegal. Shrink (HIFU) is a procedure that precisely applies energy to the dermis and fascial layer beneath the skin, and cartridge settings differ based on skin thickness and elasticity condition. Consistency in results can be enhanced when an experienced specialist directly judges and proceeds with the procedure.
What is Shrink Lifting and How Does the Effect Appear?
Shrink lifting is a non-invasive lifting procedure that applies high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to the dermis and fascial layer (SMAS) beneath the skin to induce elasticity improvement and collagen regeneration. The key point is that thermal coagulation points are formed inside the skin without incision or thread insertion, stimulating tissue.
According to Hidoc Dermatology Consultant Comments, the SMAS layer is the layer that becomes the root cause of skin sagging, and when thermal damage forms in this layer, immediate elasticity improvement and the natural healing process lead to the generation of new collagen and elastin, and skin elasticity gradually recovers. In other words, you can see both immediate effects right after the procedure and sustained effects.
According to related clinical data, the effect is known to last approximately 4-6 months on average after the procedure, but there is considerable individual variation depending on skin thickness, lifestyle habits, and subsequent care, so it is important to sufficiently adjust expectations with medical staff before the procedure.
Mini Q&A
Q. How is shrink different from other HIFU lifting procedures?
Shrink is one of the HIFU devices approved by Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and is characterized by the ability to configure various cartridge types and energy combinations. Which cartridge is used in which order depends on the practitioner's judgment, making clinical experience an important factor in this procedure.
Why REJU CLINIC Stands Out in Uijeongbu Shrink Lifting
Shrink lifting can show significantly different results depending on the practitioner's experience, as Modoodoc materials point out, even with the same equipment. For this reason, "how the procedure is performed and by whom" becomes a much more important selection criterion than simply equipment specs.
REJU CLINIC, based on abundant clinical experience accumulated over 25 years, proceeds with shrink lifting directly in a 1:1 dedicated manner after carefully examining the patient's skin condition and degree of sagging by 2 male and female specialists. The clinic serves as a director of the Korean Academy of Dermatology and Laser Surgery, continuously researches the latest lifting trends, and aims for non-factory-type customized treatment.
Below is a summary of the main features of REJU CLINIC shrink lifting.
| Item | REJU CLINIC's Approach |
|---|---|
| Procedure Provider | Director specialist directly performs the procedure |
| Diagnostic Method | Pre-procedure 1:1 dedicated diagnosis to individually confirm skin thickness and degree of sagging |
| Clinical Experience | Accumulated know-how of over 25 years in cosmetic procedures |
| Academic Activities | Served as director of Korean Academy of Dermatology and Laser Surgery for over 15 years, continuously reflecting research and latest lifting trends |
| Management Method | 1:1 care system with continuous management by the same dedicated director |
| Treatment Philosophy | Finding the root cause of sagging rather than visible symptoms, customized design considering overall facial balance |
Rather than simply filling wrinkles or nasolabial folds temporarily, the clinic aims for lifting design that examines root causes like cheek sagging and considers overall facial balance.
This May Be a Good Fit for You
Shrink lifting does not provide the same results for everyone. Use the checklist below to first confirm whether it is suitable for you.
Shrink lifting may be a good fit for:
• Those in their late 20s to 60s with some facial volume but concerns about jawline and cheek sagging
• Those who want to improve elasticity and face line without surgery through non-invasive methods
• Those at an early to mid-stage where skin sagging has already begun but is not yet severe
• Those seeking to improve acne scars and pores along with overall improvement in skin texture
• Those who want an environment where one dedicated director provides continuous care
Consultation is absolutely necessary before the procedure for:
• Those with very little facial fat or extremely thin skin — according to clinical data, in such cases there is risk of complications such as cheek indentation, making pre-diagnosis essential
• Those with a history of filler or prosthetic implant procedures — Hidoc Dermatology Consultant recommends that such cases must have sufficient consultation with medical staff before the procedure
• Those who are pregnant or have inflammation or wounds on the skin
Whether you reside near Uijeongbu Station, Minlak-dong, or Nokyang-dong, or are looking into shrink in Yangju or considering lifting procedures in Dongducheon, please feel free to visit. Even if it's a bit of distance, we believe that 1:1 dedicated diagnosis comes first.

Q&A
Q1. Can normal daily life resume immediately after shrink lifting?
Shrink is a non-invasive procedure that does not incise the skin, and in most cases, daily life is possible on the day of the procedure. Rarely, temporary redness or slight swelling may appear immediately after the procedure, but this typically subsides naturally within several days. However, there may be individual differences in recovery period depending on skin sensitivity and procedure intensity, so it is good to confirm with the medical staff in charge before the procedure.
Q2. When does the shrink effect appear and how long does it last?
Immediate effects appear after the procedure, and sustained effects tend to last approximately 4-6 months on average, but there is considerable individual variation depending on skin thickness, lifestyle habits, sun exposure, and subsequent care methods. If you desire sustained effects, it is helpful to design a procedure cycle tailored to the individual with the director in charge.
Q3. Can shrink be performed even if there is not much facial fat?
Most can receive it, but in cases where the facial fat layer is very thin or the skin is extremely thin, rarely undesired results such as cheek indentation may appear, though the occurrence rate is also low and most recover. For such individuals, shrink may not be suitable, making pre-diagnosis particularly important. It is safer to decide whether to proceed with the procedure after directly confirming skin condition, and if necessary, we can guide other lifting options together.
Q4. What other lifting-related treatments can be received at REJU CLINIC in Uijeongbu besides shrink?
REJU CLINIC is equipped with all devices that improve elasticity in layers from facial skeletal muscles, fascia, subcutaneous fat, dermis, and skin surface layers, so we can provide optimal procedures according to the customer's skin condition. When complex management tailored to skin condition is needed rather than single procedures, the director in charge directly guides combined options.
Non-covered medical care costs are posted and guided within the clinic in accordance with Article 45 of the Medical Law.
