How Lifting Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Korea
A physician-led four-step protocol for customized non-surgical lifting near Incheon Airport.
1. Comprehensive Skin & Structure Analysis (15 min)
Dr. Cho or Dr. Kim conducts a detailed assessment of skin elasticity, SMAS layer depth, fat distribution, and bone structure using high-resolution skin analysis equipment. Measurements include dermal thickness (typically 1.2-2.5mm), skin laxity grade (Fitzpatrick scale), and target areas. This data determines which lifting modality — HIFU, RF, microwave, or thread — delivers optimal results for your anatomy.
2. Device Selection & Parameter Customization (5 min)
Based on analysis results, the physician selects the optimal device and energy parameters. Sofwave delivers SUPERB ultrasound at 1.5mm depth with 7 transducers simultaneously. Onda Coolwaves penetrates 2-4mm with 2.45GHz microwave. Shurink HIFU targets the 3.0mm and 4.5mm SMAS layer. V-RO uses multi-focal ultrasound at 1.5-4.5mm depths. Each device is calibrated to your specific tissue measurements for maximum efficacy and safety.
3. Physician-Performed Lifting Treatment (20-60 min)
Unlike assembly-line clinics where nurses operate devices, Dr. Cho and Dr. Kim personally perform every lifting treatment at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. Treatment duration varies: Shurink 300 shots takes 20 minutes, Sofwave 100 shots takes 30 minutes, Onda 100kJ takes 40 minutes, and combination protocols take 45-60 minutes. Real-time skin response monitoring ensures precise energy delivery to the targeted tissue layer.
4. Post-Treatment Assessment & Aftercare (10 min)
Immediate post-treatment evaluation confirms energy delivery and identifies any areas needing additional passes. Aftercare includes cooling mask application, sunscreen application, and printed aftercare instructions in your language (8 languages available). Most patients experience 0-2 days of mild warmth or redness. Airport pickup can be arranged for return visits if combining multiple session protocols.

| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 (Treatment Day) | Immediate mild tightening visible from tissue contraction. Mild warmth, redness, or tingling in treated areas lasting 2-6 hours. Resume normal activities immediately for most devices. |
| Week 1-2 | Initial swelling subsides, early collagen remodeling begins. Skin feels firmer to the touch. Thread lift patients see initial V-line shaping as threads anchor tissue. |
| Month 1 | Collagen Type I production accelerates. Measurable improvement in skin elasticity (15-25% average). Jawline definition becomes visible. Nasolabial folds soften. |
| Month 2-3 | Peak collagen remodeling phase. 60-80% of final lifting results visible. Skin texture, firmness, and contour show significant improvement from baseline. |
| Month 3-6 | Full results achieved for most energy-based devices. Thread lift collagen encapsulation complete. Results continue to improve subtly through month 6. |
| Month 6-24 | Results maintained 12-24 months depending on device. Sofwave and Onda last 12-18 months. Thread lifts maintain 18-24 months. Annual maintenance sessions recommended. |

The Science Behind Non-Surgical Lifting in Korea
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting energy-based lifting technologies used at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport.
HIFU and Focused Ultrasound for Non-Surgical Face Lifting
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) remains the gold standard for non-invasive SMAS layer lifting in Korea. HIFU devices deliver focused acoustic energy at precise depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm) to create thermal coagulation points (TCPs) at 60-70°C, triggering immediate collagen contraction and long-term neocollagenesis. Alam et al. (2018) conducted a randomized controlled trial of 65 patients receiving micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) for lower face and submental lifting, demonstrating statistically significant jawline improvement at 90 days (p<0.001) with 86% of patients showing measurable tissue lifting on standardized photography. The study confirmed that HIFU lifting results in Korea last 12-18 months with a single treatment, making it the most efficient non-surgical lifting option for medical tourists. doi:10.1001/jamadermatol.2017.5903
Synchronous Ultrasound Technology (SUPERB) for Dermal Tightening
Sofwave’s Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology represents the next evolution in lifting by delivering 7 parallel ultrasound beams simultaneously at 1.5mm depth with integrated Sofcool cooling. Goldie et al. (2021) evaluated 73 patients receiving Sofwave for mid and lower face lifting and found 88% of subjects achieved significant improvement at 12 weeks, with patient satisfaction scores of 4.1/5.0. Unlike traditional HIFU that targets the SMAS, Sofwave’s 1.5mm focal depth creates a columnar heating zone in the mid-dermis, stimulating collagen Types I and III without reaching the fat layer — eliminating volume loss risk. This mechanism explains why Korean physicians increasingly prefer Sofwave for full-face tightening in patients with limited subcutaneous fat. doi:10.1111/dsu.14681
Coolwaves Microwave Technology for V-Line Contouring
Onda’s 2.45GHz Coolwaves microwave technology targets the dermis and subcutaneous tissue through selective water molecule resonance rather than generalized tissue heating. Bacci et al. (2020) published results from a multicenter study of 147 patients receiving Onda Coolwaves for body and facial contouring, showing 92% patient satisfaction with measurable circumference reduction of 1.7-3.2cm in treated areas. For facial applications, Onda lifting at 100kJ delivers targeted energy to the jawline and submental fat, producing both collagen tightening (dermal layer) and localized lipolysis (subcutaneous layer) — a dual mechanism that produces the V-line contour highly sought by RE:BERRY Incheon Airport’s international clientele. doi:10.1007/s00266-020-01739-0
Combination Lifting Protocols: Multi-Device Synergy
Korean clinics pioneered the combination lifting approach, using multiple energy devices in a single session to target different tissue depths simultaneously. Park et al. (2022) evaluated sequential HIFU and radiofrequency (RF) treatment in 89 patients and found the combination produced 35% greater improvement in skin laxity scores compared to either modality alone (p=0.012). At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, the Firm & Sculpt V-Line Treatment combines Onda 100kJ (2-4mm depth) with V-RO 600 shots (1.5-4.5mm multi-focal) to deliver energy across 4 tissue layers in one 60-minute session — producing significantly superior outcomes versus single-device protocols. doi:10.1111/jocd.14876

What International Patients Say About Lifting in Korea
“I had Onda + V-RO combination at RE:BERRY during my Incheon layover. My jawline looked 70% sharper within 6 weeks. The price was ₩990,000 — my US dermatologist quoted $3,200 for Ultherapy alone. The airport pickup made everything seamless.”
“Dr. Cho recommended Sofwave 100 shots for my nasolabial folds instead of filler. At ₩990,000 it felt expensive at first, but the results at 3 months were incredible — 80% improvement without any injections. Worth flying from Taipei for.”
“I combined the Spring Contouring Package (Shurink 300 + Inmode FX) at ₩219,000 with Onda lifting. Total was under $1,000 for what would cost over $3,000 in Sydney. RE:BERRY is my go-to clinic every time I transit through Incheon.”
