What Non-Surgical Lifting Treatments Are Available in Incheon?
RE:BERRY Incheon Airport provides 6+ KFDA-cleared non-surgical lifting devices including Sofwave (₩990,000/100 shots), Onda (₩650,000/100kJ), V-RO (₩69,000/100 shots), and Shurink (₩45,000/100 shots) — delivering 40-70% savings versus equivalent US treatments, with complimentary airport pickup, 8-language consultation, and 365-day availability near ICN.
Non-surgical face lifting in Incheon has become a destination treatment for international patients seeking Korean aesthetic expertise at significantly lower costs than Western markets. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, Dr. Sung-Jun Cho and Dr. Dong-Young Kim perform all lifting procedures personally — no delegation to nurses or technicians. Each device targets different tissue depths: Sofwave delivers synchronized ultrasound at 1.5mm for mid-dermal tightening, V-RO penetrates 1.5-4.5mm for SMAS-layer lifting, and Onda uses Coolwaves microwave technology at 2-4mm for collagen remodeling. Thread lifting provides mechanical support with absorbable PDO or PLLA threads placed along the jawline and midface. RE:BERRY’s multi-device approach means your treatment is customized to your anatomy, skin laxity level, and recovery timeline — not limited by a single device.

How Non-Surgical Lifting Works at RE:BERRY Incheon
A four-step physician-led process from consultation to treatment, designed for travelers visiting near Incheon International Airport.
Skin Elasticity Assessment & Device Selection
Dr. Cho or Dr. Kim evaluates your skin laxity using high-resolution imaging, measuring dermal thickness (typically 1.0-2.5mm depending on facial zone) and SMAS layer depth. Based on your age, skin condition, and desired outcome, the physician recommends 1-3 devices from RE:BERRY Incheon’s lifting menu — Sofwave for 1.5mm mid-dermal tightening, Onda for 2-4mm Coolwave remodeling, V-RO for multi-depth HIFU, Shurink for budget-conscious lifting, or thread lifting for mechanical jawline support. The consultation takes 15-20 minutes.
Numbing & Preparation (15-30 Minutes)
For HIFU and RF treatments, topical anesthetic cream is applied for 15-30 minutes to minimize discomfort. Thread lifting requires local anesthesia injected at entry points. During numbing, the physician marks treatment zones and calculates shot counts — Sofwave typically uses 100-200 shots across the full face, Onda delivers 80-120kJ total energy, and V-RO applies 300-600 shots at 3 depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm).
Device-Specific Lifting Treatment (20-60 Minutes)
The physician performs the entire lifting procedure personally. Sofwave: 20-30 minutes using Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology at 1.5mm depth, heating tissue to 60-70°C. Onda: 25-40 minutes delivering Coolwaves at 2.45GHz microwave frequency to selectively heat the dermis while cooling the epidermis. V-RO: 30-45 minutes with dual HIFU transducers targeting 1.5mm + 4.5mm simultaneously. Thread lift: 30-60 minutes inserting 4-12 PDO/PLLA threads along the jawline and midface.
Aftercare & Recovery Instructions
Post-treatment cooling is applied for 5-10 minutes. For HIFU/RF treatments (Sofwave, Onda, V-RO, Shurink), recovery is minimal — mild redness fading within 2-4 hours, and most patients can fly the same day. Thread lifting requires 3-5 days of reduced jaw movement. RE:BERRY provides aftercare instructions in 8 languages, including flight-day guidelines. Follow-up via WhatsApp or LINE is available for 30 days post-procedure.

The Science Behind Non-Surgical Lifting Technologies
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting the lifting devices available at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport.
Sofwave: Synchronized Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) Technology
Sofwave’s SUPERB technology delivers synchronized ultrasound energy at 1.5mm depth, heating the mid-dermis to 60-70°C while an integrated cooling mechanism protects the epidermis. Unlike traditional HIFU that creates focal point lesions, Sofwave generates a continuous thermal zone across the treatment area. A prospective multicenter study by Goldie et al. (2021) demonstrated that 72% of patients achieved ≥2-point improvement on the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Classification Scale at 12 weeks post-treatment, with 76% patient satisfaction and no device-related adverse events across 116 treated subjects. The mechanism relies on neocollagenesis — heat-denatured collagen triggers fibroblast activation and type I/III collagen synthesis over 8-12 weeks. doi:10.1111/dth.14910
Onda Coolwaves: Selective Microwave Dermal Remodeling
Onda uses 2.45GHz Coolwaves microwave technology that selectively targets water molecules in the dermis at 2-4mm depth while cooling the epidermal surface. This creates controlled thermal damage in the collagen matrix, triggering neocollagenesis without surface burns. Bacci et al. (2019) conducted a clinical evaluation of Coolwaves technology showing a 30-45% increase in collagen density measured by ultrasound at 90 days post-treatment, with 89% of patients rating their facial contour improvement as ‘good’ to ‘excellent.’ The selective heating pattern of 2.45GHz frequency is particularly effective for jawline contouring and double chin reduction, as it targets hydrated dermal tissue while sparing fat and muscle layers. Non-surgical face lifting in Incheon with Onda achieves results comparable to early-stage surgical intervention. doi:10.1111/jocd.13210
HIFU Lifting: Multi-Depth Focused Ultrasound for SMAS Tightening
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) devices like V-RO and Shurink deliver focused acoustic energy to create thermal coagulation points (TCPs) at precise depths — typically 1.5mm (dermis), 3.0mm (subcutaneous), and 4.5mm (SMAS layer). Fabi et al. (2015) published a systematic review of micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) demonstrating 85.6% patient satisfaction at 90 days, with histological evidence of new collagen deposition and elastin fiber reorganization in the reticular dermis and SMAS layer. Treatment of 300-600 lines per session at multiple depths produces both immediate tissue contraction and progressive neocollagenesis over 3-6 months. Korean clinics perform 5-10 times more HIFU procedures than Western counterparts, contributing to significantly higher operator expertise. doi:10.1097/DSS.0000000000000441
Thread Lifting: Mechanical Support with Bioactive Remodeling
PDO (polydioxanone) and PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) thread lifting provides dual action: immediate mechanical repositioning of sagging tissue plus long-term collagen stimulation around the thread material. Sulamanidze et al. (2020) evaluated barbed absorbable thread outcomes in 538 patients and documented 92% satisfaction at 6 months, with thread-induced collagen capsule formation maintaining structural support for 12-24 months even after thread absorption at 6-8 months. Thread lifting at RE:BERRY Incheon targets the jawline, midface, and jowl areas using 4-12 threads per session depending on laxity severity, with local anesthesia and a 30-60 minute procedure time. doi:10.1007/s00266-019-01560-0

What Patients Say About Lifting at RE:BERRY Incheon
“I got the Double Line-Up Lifting package — Sofwave plus Onda — and my jawline tightened visibly within 3 weeks. The total cost was ₩1,590,000, which is about 60% less than I was quoted in Sydney. Dr. Cho performed the entire procedure himself.”
“The Shurink 300-shot Spring Contouring Package at ₩219,000 was the best value lifting treatment I have ever had. My nasolabial folds softened by about 30% at the 6-week mark. The airport pickup made the whole trip seamless.”
“I combined V-RO 600 shots with Onda 100kJ in the Firm and Sculpt package. The results at 2 months are better than the single-device HIFU I had done in New York for three times the price. RE:BERRY’s multilingual staff explained everything clearly.”
