Laser hair removal is consistently among the most requested aesthetic treatments worldwide, with the global market projected to exceed $3.9 billion by 2030. The principle is selective photothermolysis: laser energy is selectively absorbed by melanin within the hair shaft and bulge, converting to heat that damages the follicular stem cells responsible for hair regeneration (Anderson & Parrish, Science 1983; DOI: 10.1126/science.6823544). The Soprano Titanium platform represents the latest evolution in diode laser technology. Unlike traditional high-fluence single-pulse lasers that deliver intense bursts of energy (causing significant pain and risk of epidermal damage), the SHR mode uses rapid, low-fluence pulses at a high repetition rate (10 Hz) to gradually heat the target zone to the critical temperature needed for follicular damage. This gradual heating approach, combined with integrated ICE (In-motion Cooling Enhancement) sapphire contact cooling, makes the treatment virtually pain-free while maintaining clinical efficacy. The 810nm wavelength is the gold standard for hair removal because it offers the optimal balance between melanin absorption depth and tissue penetration (Haedersdal & Wulf, J Am Acad Dermatol 2006; DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2006.09.029). Head Director Dr. Cho Sung-Jun calibrates energy parameters for each body zone and skin type. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport offers comprehensive body hair removal packages for both female and male patients: female underarm + upper lip (5 sessions ₩77,000), female lower arm (5 sessions ₩230,000), female lower leg + knee including feet and toes (5 sessions ₩270,000), male upper lip + chin (5 sessions ₩210,000), male lower face (5 sessions ₩280,000), and male Brazilian including perineal and anal areas (5 sessions ₩480,000). An add-on facial calming treatment is available at ₩50,000 for 5 sessions.

How Body Hair Removal Works at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
A four-step protocol using Soprano Titanium SHR technology for safe, pain-free permanent hair reduction.
Skin & Hair Assessment
Dr. Cho Sung-Jun evaluates your hair color, density, growth cycle phase, and Fitzpatrick skin type for each treatment zone. Hair that is actively growing (anagen phase) responds best to laser treatment — typically 20-30% of body hair at any given time. Based on this assessment, optimal Soprano Titanium settings are determined: fluence (energy per pulse), repetition rate, number of passes, and ICE cooling intensity. A test patch may be performed for first-time patients.
Preparation & Shaving
The treatment area must be cleanly shaved so that laser energy is directed into the follicle rather than absorbed by surface hair. If you have not pre-shaved, the clinic will shave the area. Cooling gel is applied to ensure smooth gliding of the SHR handpiece. No topical anesthetic is needed — Soprano Titanium SHR is inherently pain-free due to gradual heating and ICE cooling.
SHR Laser Hair Removal
The Soprano Titanium handpiece glides over the skin in rapid, sweeping, in-motion passes. The SHR mode delivers rapid low-fluence pulses at 10 Hz, gradually raising the temperature of the hair follicle and bulge region to the damage threshold (approximately 45 degrees Celsius maintained over several passes). Integrated ICE sapphire contact cooling keeps the epidermis at a comfortable temperature. Most patients describe a warm massage-like sensation. Treatment time: underarms 5-10 min, lower legs 15-20 min, full back 20-30 min, Brazilian 15-20 min.
Aftercare & Next Session
Post-treatment cooling gel and moisturizer applied. Mild erythema (redness) and perifollicular edema (slight swelling around follicles) may occur for 1-2 hours — this is a positive sign indicating effective follicular heating. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 48 hours. Treated hairs will shed naturally over 1-2 weeks. Next session scheduled in 4-6 weeks to catch new hairs entering the anagen phase. Aftercare instructions provided in 8 languages.

The Science Behind Laser Body Hair Removal
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting Soprano Titanium SHR technology for permanent body hair reduction.
Selective Photothermolysis: The Foundation of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis, first described by Anderson and Parrish (Science 1983; DOI: 10.1126/science.6823544). Melanin within the hair shaft and follicular matrix serves as the chromophore (target). When exposed to laser energy at the appropriate wavelength, melanin absorbs photons and converts them to thermal energy. This heat is conducted from the hair shaft to surrounding follicular structures — the hair bulge (containing stem cells) and dermal papilla (containing the growth signal center) — causing irreversible thermal damage. The key parameters are wavelength (melanin absorption peak), pulse duration (thermal relaxation time of the follicle), and fluence (energy density per pulse). The 810nm diode wavelength is optimal because it offers deep penetration into the dermis while maintaining strong melanin absorption.
SHR (Super Hair Removal) vs. Traditional Single-Pulse Lasers
Traditional laser hair removal delivers high-fluence single pulses that rapidly heat the follicle to destruction temperature. This approach works well for lighter skin types but carries significant risk of epidermal thermal damage in darker skin (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) because epidermal melanin also absorbs laser energy. SHR technology addresses this limitation by using rapid, low-fluence pulses (typically 6-10 J/cm2 at 10 Hz) to gradually raise the follicular temperature to the damage threshold (approximately 45 degrees Celsius) over multiple passes. The gradual heating allows epidermal heat to dissipate via integrated sapphire contact cooling (ICE) while follicular heat accumulates due to the larger thermal relaxation time of the follicle versus the epidermis. Pai et al. (J Cosmet Laser Ther 2011; DOI: 10.3109/14764172.2011.594060) demonstrated that SHR achieved equivalent efficacy to conventional high-fluence diode in a split-body randomized controlled trial, with significantly lower pain scores (VAS 2.1 vs. 5.3) and zero adverse events in Fitzpatrick IV-V skin.
Hair Growth Cycle and Treatment Intervals
Hair follicles cycle through three phases: anagen (active growth, melanin-rich, responsive to laser), catagen (regression), and telogen (resting, no melanin target). Only anagen-phase hairs contain sufficient melanin for laser targeting. At any given time, approximately 20-30% of body hair is in anagen phase, which is why multiple sessions are needed. Body areas have different anagen ratios and cycle lengths: legs (20% anagen, 16-24 week cycle), underarms (30% anagen, 12-16 week cycle), bikini (30% anagen, 12-16 week cycle). Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to catch successive waves of hairs entering anagen phase. Haedersdal and Wulf (J Am Acad Dermatol 2006; DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2006.09.029) reported 70-90% permanent hair reduction after 5-8 sessions with 810nm diode laser in a systematic review of 11 randomized controlled trials.
Safety Across Skin Types
The safety of SHR technology across all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI) has been well-documented. Rogachefsky et al. (Lasers Surg Med 2002; DOI: 10.1002/lsm.10064) showed that diode laser with contact cooling achieved safe and effective hair removal in patients with deeply pigmented skin. The Soprano Titanium ICE system maintains epidermal temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius even during treatment of dark skin, virtually eliminating the risk of burns, PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), and scarring that plagued earlier laser systems.

What Our Patients Say About Body Hair Removal
“I have sensitive skin and was dreading laser hair removal based on my previous IPL experience. The Soprano Titanium was completely different — it genuinely felt like a warm massage. After 5 sessions, my underarm hair is 90% gone.”
“The pricing in Korea is unbelievable. Back home, one laser session costs more than the entire 5-session package here. The airport pickup made it easy to fit into my travel schedule.”
“As a dark-skinned man, I was told by several clinics at home that laser hair removal was risky for me. Dr. Cho used the SHR mode specifically for my skin type. Zero burns, zero PIH, and great results.”

Soprano Titanium SHR technology is virtually pain-free. The gradual heating approach combined with ICE sapphire cooling makes the treatment feel like a warm massage. Pain level: 1-3 on a 10-point scale. No anesthesia required for any body area.
5-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for most body areas. RE:BERRY offers 5-session packages. After 5 sessions, expect 70-85% permanent reduction. Remaining hairs are finer and lighter. Annual maintenance of 1-2 sessions may be needed.
Yes. SHR technology uses gradual heating rather than high peak fluences, making it safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI) including tanned and deeply pigmented skin. Clinical studies confirm zero adverse events in dark skin types with SHR mode.
Yes. Each session takes 15-60 minutes depending on the body area. Even a single session provides 20-30% hair reduction. Many patients start during their Korea trip and complete remaining sessions on return visits or at their home country clinic.
All body areas: underarms, upper arms, lower arms, full arms, upper legs, lower legs, full legs, bikini line, full Brazilian (including perineal and anal areas), back, chest, abdomen, buttocks, and face. Packages available for individual zones or combinations.
Prepay for 10 hair removal sessions and receive 2 additional sessions for free (12 total). This offer applies to all body areas and represents significant additional value. An add-on facial calming treatment is available at ₩50,000 for 5 sessions.
Yes. Shave the treatment area 1-2 days before your appointment. If you cannot shave (e.g., back area), the clinic will shave it for you. Do NOT wax, pluck, or use epilators for 4 weeks before treatment — the hair root must be intact for laser targeting.
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds on treated areas for 48 hours. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen on any treated areas exposed to sunlight. Tanning between sessions reduces treatment effectiveness and increases risk of side effects.
Laser hair removal works best on dark hair (high melanin content). Blonde, red, grey, and white hairs contain little melanin and respond poorly to laser treatment. For these hair colors, electrolysis remains the most effective option.
Underarms: 5-10 minutes. Upper lip: 3-5 minutes. Lower legs: 15-20 minutes. Full back: 20-30 minutes. Brazilian: 15-20 minutes. Full body: 60-90 minutes. With consultation and aftercare, plan for an extra 15-20 minutes.
Yes. Many patients combine body hair removal with armpit botox (₩99,000), glass skin laser toning, or body contouring. Dr. Cho will advise on safe treatment combinations.
No downtime. Mild redness and perifollicular edema (tiny bumps around follicles) may occur for 1-2 hours. You can immediately return to all activities including exercise and flying.
SHR (Super Hair Removal) uses a focused 810nm diode laser with gradual heating and cooling. IPL uses broadband light (500-1200nm) in single high-energy pulses. SHR is significantly more effective, less painful, and safer for dark skin types.
Yes. RE:BERRY offers comprehensive male hair removal packages: upper lip + chin (5 sessions ₩210,000), lower face (5 sessions ₩280,000), and full Brazilian including perineal and anal areas (5 sessions ₩480,000). Male back and chest available on consultation.
No. This is a common myth. Laser treatment either destroys the follicle permanently (hair does not return) or damages it (regrowth is finer and lighter). There is no mechanism by which laser can cause thicker hair growth.
Laser hair removal is appropriate for adults 18 and older. Younger patients may be treated with parental consent. Hormonal changes during puberty can trigger new hair growth that may require additional sessions.
All laser parameters are set by licensed physicians: Head Director Dr. Cho Sung-Jun (License 138858) or Dr. Kim Dong-Young (License 147291). Trained nurses may perform the actual laser application under physician supervision.
