Korea is one of the most affordable countries globally for laser hair removal, with prices 60-80% lower than the US, Europe, or Japan. This is driven by the same market dynamics that make Korean aesthetic medicine universally competitive: high patient volumes, intense clinic competition, advanced technology adoption, and MFDS (Korean FDA) regulatory standards that ensure quality. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport uses the Soprano Titanium by Alma Lasers — the gold-standard platform for pain-free laser hair removal. The Soprano Titanium’s tri-wavelength technology (Alexandrite 755nm + Diode 810nm + Nd:YAG 1064nm) treats hair follicles at all depths simultaneously, making it effective for all hair types and safe for all skin types including Fitzpatrick VI. The SHR (Super Hair Removal) mode delivers gradual thermal buildup rather than high-peak energy, virtually eliminating the pain associated with older laser systems. For other aesthetic treatments that pair well with hair removal, see our glass skin treatment page and Botox pricing guide.
Soprano Titanium — Gold Standard in Laser Hair Removal
RE:BERRY Incheon Airport uses Alma Lasers’ Soprano Titanium, the most advanced laser hair removal platform available.
Laser Hair Removal at RE:BERRY — Step by Step
Safe, virtually pain-free hair removal using Soprano Titanium tri-wavelength technology.
Consultation & Skin/Hair Assessment
The doctor evaluates your skin type (Fitzpatrick scale), hair color, hair density, and treatment area. Based on this assessment, the optimal Soprano Titanium settings are determined: wavelength combination (755nm for fine hair, 810nm for medium, 1064nm for dark/coarse), fluence level, and pulse duration. The doctor presents a treatment plan with the recommended number of sessions (typically 5-8) and provides transparent pricing. For travelers who cannot complete all sessions in Korea, the doctor advises on spacing sessions with treatments at home clinics. RE:BERRY can provide treatment parameter documentation for continuity at other Soprano-equipped clinics worldwide.
Soprano Titanium Laser Treatment (15-60 Min)
The treatment area is shaved (if not already) and ultrasound gel applied. The Soprano Titanium handpiece is moved across the skin in a sweeping motion using SHR (Super Hair Removal) mode. SHR delivers low-energy pulses at high repetition rate (10 Hz), gradually building heat in the hair follicle through thermal accumulation rather than single high-energy shots. This IN-Motion technique virtually eliminates pain — most patients describe only a warm, massage-like sensation. Treatment times: underarms 15 minutes, arms 20-30 minutes, legs 30-45 minutes, Brazilian 20-30 minutes, full body 60-90 minutes. The tri-wavelength technology targets melanin in the hair follicle at all depths simultaneously.
Post-Treatment Cooling & Care
Aloe vera cooling gel is applied immediately after treatment. Mild redness (erythema) lasting 1-2 hours is normal. No downtime — return to normal activities immediately. Avoid direct sun exposure on treated areas for 48 hours (apply SPF 50+ if outdoors). Avoid hot baths, saunas, and intense exercise for 24 hours. Hair will shed naturally from treated follicles over 1-2 weeks. You can fly immediately after treatment.
Follow-up Sessions (Every 4-6 Weeks)
Hair grows in cycles (anagen, catagen, telogen). Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen (active growth) phase when melanin concentration in the follicle is highest. Since only 20-30% of hair is in anagen at any given time, multiple sessions are needed. RE:BERRY recommends sessions every 4-6 weeks for body areas (face every 3-4 weeks). After 5-8 sessions, 80-90% permanent reduction is typical. Hormonal areas (face, bikini) may require occasional maintenance sessions. Prepaying for 10 sessions earns 2 bonus sessions free.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
- 50-60% OFF Regular Pricing: April 2026 promotions: Female underarm + upper lip 5 sessions ₩77,000 (regular ₩153,000, 50% off). Male Brazilian 5 sessions ₩480,000 (regular ₩1,150,000, 58% off). Prepay 10 sessions = 2 bonus free (12 sessions total). Compare: US laser hair removal costs $200-500 per session per area.
- Soprano Titanium Tri-Wavelength Technology: Three wavelengths (755nm + 810nm + 1064nm) fire simultaneously to target hair follicles at all depths. The Alexandrite (755nm) targets superficial follicles, Diode (810nm) targets mid-depth, and Nd:YAG (1064nm) penetrates deepest. A 2019 study in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine (DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23090) showed tri-wavelength platforms achieved 85% hair reduction after 5 sessions vs 72% for single-wavelength systems.
- Virtually Pain-Free (SHR Mode): Soprano’s SHR (Super Hair Removal) mode delivers low-energy pulses at high repetition (10 Hz), gradually heating the follicle through thermal accumulation. This IN-Motion technique eliminates the ‘rubber band snap’ pain of traditional IPL and alexandrite lasers. Most patients rate SHR pain at 1-2/10. No numbing cream required.
- Safe for All Skin Types (Fitzpatrick I-VI): The Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength is safe for dark and tanned skin. The SHR mode’s gradual heating prevents epidermal damage regardless of melanin content. Korean clinics routinely treat Fitzpatrick IV-VI patients safely. This makes RE:BERRY ideal for diverse international travelers.
- Create Your Own 5 Areas Package — ₩1,390,000: Choose 5 areas from: lower legs (including feet), thighs, upper arms, forearms (including hands), back, abdomen, chest, buttocks, neck, face.

| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Session 1 | First treatment targets ~25% of follicles in active growth (anagen) phase. Hair sheds over 1-2 weeks. Regrowth begins thinner. |
| Session 2-3 | Additional follicles entering anagen phase are targeted. Noticeable reduction in hair density (40-60%). Regrowth is finer and lighter. |
| Session 4-5 | Significant reduction (60-80%). Many patients satisfied at this point for most body areas. Fine regrowth only. |
| Session 6-8 | 80-90% permanent reduction achieved. Remaining hairs are very fine and light. Hormonal areas may need periodic maintenance. |
| Maintenance | 1-2 sessions per year for touch-ups, especially for hormonal areas (face, bikini). Body areas (arms, legs) rarely need maintenance after 8 sessions. |

The Science of Soprano Titanium Laser Hair Removal
Evidence-based technology for permanent hair reduction across all skin types.
Tri-Wavelength Approach: Targeting All Hair Depths
The Soprano Titanium simultaneously emits three laser wavelengths: Alexandrite 755nm (absorbed by melanin in superficial follicles, 1-3mm), Diode 810nm (optimal balance of melanin absorption and penetration depth, 3-4mm), and Nd:YAG 1064nm (deepest penetration with lowest melanin absorption, 4-6mm, safest for dark skin). By firing all three wavelengths simultaneously, the system targets hair follicles at all depths in a single pass, regardless of hair type or skin color.
Goldberg DJ, Hussain M, Wease S. Multiple-wavelength diode laser platform for permanent hair reduction. J Cosmet Laser Ther. 2019;21(3):135-140. DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23090
SHR (Super Hair Removal): Pain-Free Thermal Accumulation
Traditional laser hair removal uses high-energy single pulses that cause significant pain. SHR (Super Hair Removal) mode delivers low-energy pulses at high frequency (up to 10 Hz) while the handpiece is moved continuously across the skin (IN-Motion technique). Heat accumulates gradually in the follicle over multiple passes, reaching the critical 42-48 degrees C threshold for follicle destruction without the painful energy spikes. A 2018 clinical comparison showed SHR achieved equivalent hair reduction to conventional mode with 65% lower pain scores.
Hair Growth Cycle and Session Timing
Human hair grows in three phases: anagen (active growth, 2-6 years), catagen (transition, 2 weeks), and telogen (resting, 3-4 months). Laser hair removal is effective only during anagen when the hair shaft contains melanin and is connected to the dermal papilla. At any given time, 20-30% of body hair is in anagen. This is why multiple sessions (typically 5-8) spaced 4-6 weeks apart are required to catch all follicles during their active phase.

Safety for Dark Skin (Fitzpatrick IV-VI)
The Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength has the lowest melanin absorption coefficient among hair removal lasers, making it the safest option for dark and tanned skin. The SHR mode further reduces epidermal thermal damage by avoiding high peak energies. Korean clinics routinely treat Fitzpatrick IV-VI patients (including Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, African, and Hispanic skin types) with the Soprano Titanium platform without increased risk of burns or hyperpigmentation.

Hair Removal Reviews at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
“₩77,000 for 5 sessions of underarm + upper lip laser? In London I was quoted £1,200 for the same areas. I started my series at RE:BERRY during my vacation and will continue on my next Korea trip. Zero pain with the Soprano.”
“As someone with Fitzpatrick V skin, I was always nervous about laser. The doctor at RE:BERRY explained the Soprano Titanium’s SHR mode and Nd:YAG wavelength safety. After 5 sessions my legs are 80% smooth. No burns, no dark spots.”
“Got the Create Your Own 5 Areas package during my sabbatical in Korea. 25 total sessions over 3 months. The results are incredible — virtually hair-free. ₩1,390,000 for what would cost $10,000+ in the US.”
“The IN-Motion SHR technique felt like a warm massage. I was bracing for pain based on my IPL experience and felt almost nothing. Dr. Kim gave me parameter documentation to continue at a Soprano clinic in Tokyo.”

Korean aesthetic market competition, high patient volumes, and economies of scale drive prices down. Equipment costs are amortized across many more patients. MFDS regulation ensures quality. The result: world-class Soprano Titanium treatment at 60-80% less than Western pricing.
Yes. Add 5 sessions of facial calming treatment for ₩50,000 (₩10,000/session). This includes soothing post-laser care to minimize redness and irritation, especially beneficial for facial hair removal.
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction (not removal). After 5-8 sessions, 80-90% of treated hairs are permanently destroyed. Remaining hairs are finer and lighter. Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, PCOS) can stimulate new growth requiring maintenance.
Virtually any body area: face (upper lip, chin, sideburns, cheeks), underarms, arms (upper and lower), legs (upper and lower), bikini/Brazilian, back, chest, abdomen, buttocks, neck, hands, feet, toes, fingers.
Soprano Titanium is a true laser (coherent, collimated light) while IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a broadband flashlamp. Lasers provide more precise targeting, higher efficacy, and better safety for dark skin. Soprano’s tri-wavelength approach outperforms IPL for permanent reduction (DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23090).
Yes, shave the treatment area 1-2 days before your appointment. The laser targets melanin in the hair follicle below the skin surface. Surface hair absorbs laser energy wastefully and can cause burns. If you forget, RE:BERRY staff can shave the area before treatment.
No. Waxing, plucking, and threading remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target. Only shaving is permitted between sessions, as it preserves the follicle below the surface. This is critical for treatment effectiveness.
Laser hair removal works best on dark hair (high melanin content). Very blonde, white, gray, or red hair has insufficient melanin for effective laser targeting. The doctor will assess your hair color during consultation and advise on expected results.
Common: mild redness (1-2 hours), slight swelling around follicles (1-24 hours). Rare: temporary hyperpigmentation (more common with improper treatment of dark skin, virtually eliminated with Soprano Titanium SHR), burns (extremely rare with SHR mode). No long-term side effects documented.
Laser hair removal is generally not recommended during pregnancy as a precautionary measure, although there is no evidence of fetal harm. RE:BERRY advises waiting until after delivery and breastfeeding to begin or resume treatment.
