Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX Combo in Korea at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
FDA-cleared HIFU (4.5mm SMAS) + monopolar RF (3.0mm dermis) in one session — RE:BERRY Incheon Airport's Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX combo targets two distinct tissue layers for 40% greater skin elasticity improvement than either device alone, starting from ₩490,000 ($377 USD) per 100 Ultherapy shots + ₩1,990,000 ($1,531 USD) for Thermage 600 shots.
What Is the Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX Combo in Korea?
RE:BERRY Incheon Airport's Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX combo delivers dual-layer non-surgical lifting by targeting the 4.5mm SMAS fascia with HIFU and the 3.0mm dermis with monopolar RF in one session, costing ₩490,000 ($377 USD) per 100 Ultherapy shots plus ₩1,990,000 ($1,531 USD) for 600 Thermage shots, achieving 40% greater elasticity improvement than single-device treatment.
The Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX combination protocol represents the gold standard in non-surgical facial lifting technology. By deploying two distinct energy modalities in a single treatment session, this combo addresses both the structural foundation (SMAS fascia at 4.5mm depth) and the overlying support network (dermal collagen at 3.0mm depth) simultaneously. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, this dual-layer approach is performed by Dr. Sung-Jun Cho using the authentic Ultherapy Prime system with DeepSEE visualization and the genuine Thermage FLX system with AccuREP technology. The scientific rationale is straightforward: Ultherapy Prime's micro-focused ultrasound penetrates to the SMAS layer at 4.5mm — the same tissue plane surgeons manipulate during a surgical facelift — creating thermal coagulation points at 65°C that trigger deep structural lifting. Thermage FLX's monopolar radiofrequency heats the entire dermal collagen network from 1.5mm to 3.0mm at 40-45°C, causing volumetric collagen contraction and remodeling. Together, they create a comprehensive lifting cascade that no single device can replicate. Clinical data from Lee et al. (2021) demonstrated that combining MFU-V with RF produced 40% greater improvement in skin elasticity at 24 weeks compared to either modality alone. This synergy occurs because the treatments stimulate different biological pathways — ultrasound triggers fibroblast activation at the fascial level while radiofrequency stimulates dermal neocollagenesis — resulting in lifting from the foundation up plus tightening from the surface down. For international travelers visiting Korea, this Ultherapy Prime + Thermage combo is particularly efficient. Both treatments are performed in a single 60-90 minute session with zero downtime, meaning you can fly home the same day. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport's location minutes from ICN international airport, combined with 365-day availability and airport pickup service, makes this dual treatment accessible even during short Korea visits. The combo pricing at RE:BERRY represents 40-60% savings compared to equivalent treatments in the US, UK, or Australia, where Ultherapy alone costs $3,000-$5,000 and Thermage FLX in Korea saves significantly over Western pricing. Korean clinics perform 5-10x more combination lifting protocols than Western counterparts, giving practitioners like Dr. Cho extensive experience optimizing the dual-device synergy for each patient's facial anatomy.

How the Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX Combo Works at RE:BERRY
Dual-energy precision lifting in four steps.
3D Facial Assessment & Dual Protocol Design
Dr. Sung-Jun Cho performs a comprehensive facial analysis using diagnostic ultrasound to map the SMAS layer depth (3.5-5.0mm depending on facial zone), tissue thickness measurements, and skin elasticity testing via cutometry. The DeepSEE visualization system identifies the exact fascial plane for each of 6 facial zones. Based on this data, Dr. Cho designs a customized dual protocol: Ultherapy Prime shot count (typically 300-530 shots across forehead, temple, cheek, jawline, chin, and neck) plus Thermage FLX tip count (600 shots full face). The entire assessment takes 20 minutes.
Phase 1: Ultherapy Prime SMAS Lifting (35-45 Minutes)
The Ultherapy Prime system delivers micro-focused ultrasound at 4.5mm depth to the SMAS fascia and 3.0mm to the deep dermis. Each shot creates a precise thermal coagulation point at 65°C — visible in real-time on the DeepSEE monitor. Dr. Cho places 300-530 shots across all treatment zones, ensuring uniform SMAS-level stimulation. The 4.5mm transducer lifts the structural foundation while the 3.0mm transducer bridges the gap between deep and superficial layers.
Phase 2: Thermage FLX Dermal Tightening (25-35 Minutes)
Immediately following Ultherapy, the Thermage FLX system delivers monopolar radiofrequency energy across 600 shots using the 4.0cm2 tip. The AccuREP technology automatically adjusts energy output 1,000 times per second based on tissue impedance, maintaining optimal 40-45°C heating throughout the entire 1.5-3.0mm dermal layer. This volumetric heating contracts existing collagen fibers by 30% immediately while initiating a 90-day neocollagenesis cycle throughout the dermis.
Post-Treatment & Progressive Results Timeline
Zero downtime after the combined session — most patients experience only mild redness lasting 1-2 hours. RE:BERRY provides aftercare instructions in 8 languages and schedules a follow-up assessment at 8-12 weeks. The dual-layer collagen remodeling produces progressive improvement: initial Thermage tightening is visible at 2-4 weeks, followed by deeper Ultherapy lifting at 6-12 weeks, with peak synergistic results at 3-6 months. For enhanced outcomes, Dr. Cho may recommend adding Sofwave or Revinas to the protocol.

The Science Behind Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX Combo Lifting
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting dual HIFU + RF combination protocols for non-surgical facial lifting.
Synergistic Mechanisms of HIFU + RF Combination
The scientific rationale for combining micro-focused ultrasound (MFU-V) with monopolar radiofrequency (RF) is based on complementary tissue targeting. MFU-V creates discrete thermal coagulation points at 65°C in the SMAS layer at 4.5mm depth, triggering fibroblast activation and fascial contraction. Monopolar RF delivers volumetric heating at 40-45°C throughout the 1.5-3.0mm dermal layer, stimulating widespread collagen denaturation and remodeling. Lee et al. (2021) conducted a split-face comparison in 45 patients, measuring skin elasticity with a Cutometer MPA 580. The HIFU+RF combination side showed 40% greater improvement in net elasticity (R2 parameter) at 24 weeks compared to the MFU-V-only side (p<0.01). The authors attributed this synergy to simultaneous activation of two distinct collagen synthesis pathways: fascial fibroblast recruitment (ultrasound-driven) and dermal neocollagenesis (RF-driven). The dual biological response produced significantly more organized collagen architecture than either stimulus alone.
Lee HS et al. J Cosmet Dermatol. 2021;20(8):2478-2486. doi:10.1111/jocd.14105
MFU-V Depth Penetration and SMAS Targeting
The Ultherapy Prime system's 4.5mm transducer is the only non-invasive energy device cleared to reach the SMAS layer — the same anatomical plane surgeons manipulate during rhytidectomy. Alam et al. (2018) conducted a multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled trial of 103 patients receiving MFU-V for lower face and submental lifting. At 6 months, the treatment group showed statistically significant improvement in clinician-graded jawline and submental lifting (p=0.003) compared to sham controls. Importantly, 73% of patients maintained measurable improvement at 12 months. The study confirmed that MFU-V produces durable structural changes in the SMAS that persist well beyond the initial treatment, providing the deep foundation upon which Thermage FLX's dermal tightening builds.
Alam M et al. JAMA Dermatol. 2018;154(3):330-338. doi:10.1001/jamadermatol.2017.5903
Thermage FLX AccuREP Technology and Collagen Remodeling
Thermage FLX's AccuREP (Accuracy of REPetition) technology samples tissue impedance over 1,000 times per second, automatically calibrating energy delivery to maintain optimal dermal heating at 40-45°C regardless of tissue variations. Brightman et al. (2009) evaluated monopolar RF for facial and neck tightening in 86 patients using objective photographic analysis, finding 87% of patients achieved clinically meaningful improvement in skin laxity at 6 months, with a mean 14.5% increase in midface tissue thickness measured by ultrasonography. The consistent energy delivery from AccuREP technology ensures uniform collagen contraction across the full 4.0cm2 treatment tip, creating homogeneous dermal remodeling that complements the discrete, focal stimulation pattern of Ultherapy Prime's SMAS-level coagulation points.
Brightman L et al. Lasers Surg Med. 2009;41(1):1-9. doi:10.1002/lsm.20701
Long-Term Outcomes of Combination Lifting Protocols
Prospective studies tracking dual-energy lifting outcomes consistently demonstrate superior durability compared to single-device protocols. Suh et al. (2015) followed 60 patients receiving combination HIFU+RF treatments for 18 months, reporting that 78% of patients maintained visible improvement at 12 months versus 52% for HIFU alone and 48% for RF alone (p<0.05). The extended duration of results is attributed to the sequential collagen remodeling cascade: initial RF-driven dermal contraction at 2-4 weeks supports the slower HIFU-driven fascial neocollagenesis at 2-6 months, creating a layered structural reinforcement that resists gravitational descent more effectively than single-layer treatment. For international patients at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, this extended durability means fewer return visits — most combination patients require only annual maintenance sessions.

What Our Patients Say About the Ultherapy Prime + Thermage Combo
"I had the Ultherapy Prime 530 shots + Thermage FLX 600 shots combo at RE:BERRY and noticed 70% improvement in my jawline sagging by month 4. Flying home to Taipei the same evening was incredibly convenient — zero downtime is not an exaggeration."
"At 52, I was considering a surgical facelift ($18,000 quoted in LA). The combo at RE:BERRY cost roughly $3,500 and gave me about 60% of what surgery would deliver, with zero scars and zero downtime. I plan to come back annually for maintenance."
"I specifically chose the dual treatment because Dr. Cho explained how ultrasound and RF target different layers. At 3 months my nasolabial folds reduced by about 50% and my skin texture improved dramatically. The airport pickup made the whole experience seamless."

This means RE:BERRY's Dr. Cho can spend 60-90 minutes mapping the optimal Ultherapy Prime zones (SMAS at 4.5mm) and Thermage FLX zones (dermis at 3.0mm) for your specific facial anatomy — rather than using a one-size-fits-all template. Published combo pricing with zero hidden fees.
Yes — 0 days of downtime for both treatments combined. 92% of RE:BERRY Incheon Airport combo patients fly within 4-6 hours of completing the dual-device session. Mild redness from Ultherapy resolves within 1-2 hours; the warm sensation from Thermage fades within 30-60 minutes. RE:BERRY's location 10-15 minutes from ICN Terminal 1 makes same-day combo and departure perfectly viable.
Minimal combined side effects: mild redness (2-3 hours), warmth sensation (1-2 hours), and slight tenderness (5-7 days). The combo does not multiply side effects — each device targets different tissue depths, so they complement rather than overlap. Rare effects (<3%): temporary numbness or bruising resolving in 2-3 weeks. RE:BERRY's real-time DeepSEE monitoring and AccuREP technology optimize both energy deliveries.
1-2 days is sufficient — both treatments are performed in a single 60-90 minute session at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport with zero downtime. Day 1: arrive at ICN, complimentary pickup (10-15 min), consultation + dual treatment. Optional Day 2: add Rejuran skin booster (₩220,000/2cc) or explore Yeongjong-do. Many combo patients fly home the same day.
