Sofwave Lifting Near Incheon Airport on Yeongjong-do
Sofwave’s FDA-cleared SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology delivers seven parallel ultrasound beams at precisely 1.5mm depth to create a uniform 3D thermal zone in the mid-dermis. This triggers intensive collagen and elastin remodeling for clinically proven skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and jawline contouring. Zero downtime means you can fly the same day. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport offers complimentary pickup from ICN Terminal 1.
What Is Sofwave Lifting?
Sofwave is an FDA-cleared, next-generation ultrasound device that uses SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles by heating the mid-dermis at precisely 1.5mm depth. Unlike deep-layer HIFU devices, Sofwave creates a uniform 3D thermal zone with integrated Sofcool cooling to protect the skin surface. Treatment takes 30-45 minutes with zero downtime. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport near ICN, Sofwave 100 shots starts from ₩990,000 with complimentary airport pickup.
Sofwave occupies a unique position in the non-surgical lifting landscape. While Ultherapy Prime targets the deep SMAS layer at 4.5mm for structural lifting and Thermage FLX uses monopolar RF for volumetric dermal heating, Sofwave concentrates its energy specifically in the collagen-rich mid-dermis at 1.5mm where the majority of skin firmness and elasticity originates. The SUPERB technology generates seven parallel ultrasound beams simultaneously, creating a continuous thermal effect zone rather than individual focal points. This uniform heating pattern at 60-70 degrees Celsius drives a more consistent wound-healing response across the treatment area. The integrated Sofcool mechanism maintains the epidermis at a safe temperature throughout the procedure, eliminating surface burn risk and enabling immediate return to normal activities. Head Director Dr. Cho Sung-Jun at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport frequently combines Sofwave with deeper-acting devices such as Onda Coolwaves for a multi-depth lifting strategy that addresses both the mid-dermis collagen matrix and the deeper fascial layers. Located on Yeongjong-do just minutes from Incheon International Airport, RE:BERRY is the ideal clinic for travelers who want effective lifting treatment without disrupting their travel schedule.

How Sofwave Lifting Works at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
Four-step protocol designed for efficient, zero-downtime lifting near the airport.
Airport Pickup & Consultation
Complimentary pickup from ICN Terminal 1 brings you directly to RE:BERRY on Yeongjong-do. Dr. Cho Sung-Jun performs a skin assessment to determine your Sofwave treatment plan: areas to treat (full face, jawline, submental, neck), shot count, and whether combination with other devices is recommended. Treatment goals and realistic expectations are discussed in your preferred language from our 8-language support team.
Skin Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and dried. Unlike RF or HIFU treatments, Sofwave typically does not require numbing cream due to the Sofcool integrated cooling system that maintains epidermal comfort throughout the procedure. A thin layer of ultrasound coupling gel is applied to ensure optimal energy transmission. Treatment markings may be placed to guide systematic coverage.
SUPERB Ultrasound Energy Delivery
The Sofwave handpiece is applied to each treatment zone, delivering seven parallel ultrasound beams simultaneously at 1.5mm depth. The Sofcool system continuously cools the skin surface to prevent thermal injury to the epidermis. Each pulse creates a 3D cylindrical thermal zone in the mid-dermis, heating collagen fibers to 60-70 degrees Celsius to trigger neocollagenesis. The procedure covers the full face systematically in 30-45 minutes. Most patients describe a warm, tolerable sensation during treatment.
Immediate Recovery & Airport Return
No recovery period needed. You can apply makeup immediately after treatment. Mild warmth or pinkness resolves within 30-60 minutes for most patients. Aftercare instructions are provided in your language. You can proceed directly to the airport for your flight. Results develop progressively over 1-3 months as new collagen forms. Follow-up consultation available remotely via KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, or LINE.

The Science Behind Sofwave SUPERB Lifting
Peer-reviewed research supporting Sofwave’s mechanism of action and clinical efficacy for skin tightening.
SUPERB Technology: Synchronized Parallel Beam Ultrasound
Sofwave’s SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology represents a fundamental advance in ultrasound-based aesthetics. Unlike micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) devices that create individual thermal coagulation points, SUPERB generates seven parallel cylindrical beams that create a continuous 3D thermal zone at precisely 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis. This uniform heating pattern ensures that the entire collagen matrix within the treatment zone receives consistent thermal stimulation at 60-70 degrees Celsius, the optimal temperature range for collagen denaturation and subsequent neocollagenesis. The parallel beam architecture also means fewer energy passes are needed compared to single-focal-point devices, reducing total treatment time to 30-45 minutes for a full face.
Mid-Dermis Targeting and Collagen Remodeling
The mid-dermis at 1.5mm depth contains the highest concentration of collagen and elastin fibers responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. This is the same zone where age-related collagen degradation first manifests as visible laxity and wrinkle formation. By precisely targeting this layer, Sofwave initiates a three-phase wound-healing cascade: (1) immediate collagen contraction from thermal denaturation, producing an initial tightening effect; (2) inflammatory phase with fibroblast activation over 1-4 weeks; and (3) remodeling phase with new type I and type III collagen and elastin deposition over 2-6 months. Histological studies confirm a 30-40% increase in collagen density at the treatment depth at 12-week follow-up. The Sofcool integrated cooling system simultaneously maintains the epidermis below 45 degrees Celsius, preventing surface thermal injury and eliminating the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Clinical Evidence for Sofwave Efficacy
A prospective multicenter study by Goldan et al. (2023) evaluated Sofwave treatment in 116 subjects and reported 87% of patients showing clinically significant improvement in facial and neck wrinkles at 12 weeks, with results maintained at 52-week follow-up. The study documented a mean wrinkle severity reduction of 1.4 points on the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale. Importantly, no serious adverse events were reported, and patient satisfaction exceeded 90%. A separate split-face randomized controlled trial by Boen et al. (2021) demonstrated superior outcomes for the SUPERB parallel beam approach compared to conventional single-beam ultrasound, with 23% greater improvement in skin elasticity measurements at 6-month follow-up.
Multi-Depth Combination: Sofwave + Onda
RE:BERRY Incheon Airport’s Double Line-Up protocol combines Sofwave (1.5mm mid-dermis) with Onda Coolwaves (2-9mm deep dermis and subcutaneous fat) to address multiple tissue layers in a single session. Onda’s microwave-based Coolwaves technology selectively targets water molecules in the deep dermis and subcutaneous fat, producing controlled thermolysis that tightens deep tissue and reduces localized fat deposits. The complementary mechanism provides tightening from the surface collagen layer through the deep fascial structures, resulting in more comprehensive facial contouring than either device alone.

What Our Patients Say About Sofwave Lifting
“I had a 6-hour layover at Incheon and decided to try Sofwave. The pickup from the airport was seamless, and the entire treatment took less than an hour. Two months later, my jawline is noticeably tighter. Best decision I made during my trip to Korea.”
“I compared Sofwave prices across Seoul, Gangnam, and Incheon. RE:BERRY’s price was competitive and the convenience of being near the airport sealed the deal. Dr. Cho explained exactly how the device works and I felt no pain during treatment.”
“At 52, I wanted a non-surgical option that would not require hiding from the world for a week. Sofwave delivered — I went back to my hotel and had dinner with friends that evening. The gradual tightening over the next few months was very natural.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Sofwave Lifting Near Incheon Airport
Expert answers about Sofwave SUPERB skin tightening at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport.
Sofwave 100 shots at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport is ₩990,000 (April 2026 promotion). The Double Line-Up Lifting package (Sofwave 100 shots + Onda 100kJ) is ₩1,590,000. The One-Day Skin Care Package including Sofwave is ₩1,390,000. All prices exclude VAT.
Yes. Sofwave has zero downtime. There is no redness, swelling, or bruising in most patients. You can fly immediately after treatment. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport is located on Yeongjong-do, minutes from ICN, making it perfect for pre-flight or layover treatments.
Ultherapy Prime targets the deep SMAS layer at 4.5mm for structural lifting, while Sofwave targets the mid-dermis at 1.5mm for collagen tightening. Ultherapy provides deeper lift but requires numbing and has mild discomfort. Sofwave is more comfortable with zero downtime. Many patients benefit from combining both.
Most patients report minimal discomfort rated 2-3 on a 10-point scale. The integrated Sofcool cooling system maintains epidermal comfort throughout treatment. Numbing cream is usually not required, unlike Ultherapy or Thermage which typically need topical anesthesia.
Sofwave results typically last 12-18 months. Collagen remodeling continues for up to 6 months after treatment, with peak results at 3-4 months. Annual maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain optimal tightening and offset natural aging.
Most patients achieve significant improvement after a single Sofwave session. For pronounced laxity, Dr. Cho Sung-Jun may recommend 2 sessions spaced 3-6 months apart. Combining Sofwave with deeper devices like Onda in the Double Line-Up package can maximize results from a single visit.
Yes. Sofwave’s ultrasound energy bypasses the melanin-containing epidermis entirely, making it safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI including Asian, Southeast Asian, and darker skin tones. There is no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The Sofcool system adds an extra layer of epidermal protection.
Sofwave is FDA-cleared for the eyebrow area, submental region (under chin), and neck. At RE:BERRY, it is also used for full face tightening including forehead, periorbital area (around eyes), cheeks, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency for volumetric dermal heating and collagen contraction. Sofwave uses focused ultrasound at 1.5mm for precise mid-dermis targeting. Thermage is better for skin tightening with volume improvement, while Sofwave excels at wrinkle reduction and collagen density improvement.
Yes. Complimentary airport pickup from Incheon International Airport (ICN) Terminal 1 is included with all treatment bookings at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. Simply confirm your arrival time when booking via KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, LINE, or WeChat.
Some patients notice initial tightening immediately from collagen contraction. Visible improvement develops over 1-3 months as new collagen forms. Peak results appear at 3-4 months post-treatment. The gradual improvement means results look natural rather than sudden.
Yes. RE:BERRY’s Double Line-Up Lifting combines Sofwave + Onda 100kJ for ₩1,590,000. Sofwave can also be combined with skin boosters, botox, or fillers in the same visit for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Before: arrive with clean skin, no heavy makeup. No special preparation needed. After: apply SPF 30+ daily. Avoid saunas and hot baths for 24 hours. No other restrictions. You can apply makeup immediately and resume all normal activities including exercise.
Sofwave and thread lifting serve different purposes. Sofwave stimulates natural collagen production for skin tightening with zero downtime. Thread lifting uses physical threads for immediate mechanical lift but requires 3-7 days downtime. For travelers, Sofwave is the better option as it requires no recovery time.
A full-face Sofwave treatment takes 30-45 minutes. No numbing is needed, so there is no pre-treatment waiting period. Including consultation and aftercare, plan for approximately 60-90 minutes total at the clinic.
All Sofwave treatments are performed by Head Director Dr. Cho Sung-Jun or Dr. Kim Dong-Young, both experienced aesthetic medicine specialists. They customize shot distribution based on your facial anatomy and skin laxity for optimal results.
Sofwave is FDA-cleared for neck tightening and is effective for horizontal neck lines and mild skin laxity. For double chin reduction, Dr. Cho may recommend combining Sofwave with Onda Coolwaves (Double Line-Up package) to target both skin tightening and submental fat reduction.
The Double Line-Up Lifting (₩1,590,000) combines Sofwave 100 shots (1.5mm mid-dermis tightening) with Onda 100kJ (deep dermis and fat layer firming). This multi-depth approach tightens skin from the surface collagen layer through the deeper tissue for comprehensive facial contouring in one session.
Sofwave 100 shots at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport is ₩990,000, comparable to or below many Gangnam and Myeongdong clinic prices. The added benefit is proximity to the airport, complimentary pickup, and shorter wait times compared to busy Seoul clinic districts.
Yes. Sofwave can be applied to the periorbital area for crow’s feet and under-eye skin laxity. The Sofcool cooling system makes it safe for the delicate eye area. For more intensive under-eye treatment, RE:BERRY also offers the Eye Repair Package (Eye Oligio 200 shots + Eye Rejuran 2cc) at ₩840,000.
A brief consultation with Dr. Cho or Dr. Kim is conducted before every treatment to assess your skin condition and customize the protocol. However, same-day treatment is standard. If you book in advance, you can have consultation and treatment completed within a single visit.
RE:BERRY Incheon Airport offers genuine Sofwave SUPERB technology, experienced specialists (Dr. Cho Sung-Jun and Dr. Kim Dong-Young), 8-language support, complimentary ICN airport pickup, and competitive pricing at ₩990,000 for 100 shots. The Yeongjong-do location is uniquely convenient for international travelers.
The collagen produced by Sofwave is real, lasting tissue. However, natural aging continues, so visible improvement gradually fades over 12-18 months as new collagen is naturally broken down. Annual maintenance sessions keep results optimal. Many patients schedule their maintenance during annual trips to Korea.
Sofwave is most effective for patients aged 30-65 with mild to moderate skin laxity. Patients in their 30s-40s typically see the best prevention and early correction results. Patients over 65 with severe laxity may achieve more modest improvement and could benefit from combining Sofwave with other devices.
Yes. Sofwave can be safely performed after botox (wait 2 weeks) or dermal fillers (wait 4 weeks). The ultrasound energy at 1.5mm does not affect botox placement or filler material in deeper tissue layers. Inform Dr. Cho of any recent treatments during consultation.
Walk-ins are welcome at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. The clinic is open 365 days from 10 AM to 8 PM including holidays. However, advance booking via KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, LINE, or WeChat is recommended to guarantee your preferred time slot and arrange airport pickup.
