Body Ultherapy in Korea at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
Micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) technology targets the body’s deep fascial layers to lift and tighten loose skin on the arms, abdomen, inner thighs, and above the knees — without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended downtime. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, body Ultherapy sessions start from ₩490,000 per 100 shots with real-time ultrasound imaging guidance by Dr. Cho Sung-Jun.
What Is Body Ultherapy in Korea?
Body Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to create thermal coagulation points at depths of 3.0-4.5mm in the body’s fascial and dermal layers, triggering collagen contraction and neocollagenesis for non-surgical skin tightening on the arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees — with zero incisions and minimal downtime.
While Ultherapy is widely known for facial lifting, its application to body zones represents an advanced protocol available at select Korean clinics. The Ultherapy Prime system at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport uses specialized body transducers that deliver focused ultrasound energy to the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) equivalent in body tissue — the deep fascial planes that support skin structure. Dr. Cho Sung-Jun utilizes real-time ultrasound visualization to precisely target the treatment plane, ensuring energy reaches the optimal depth for each body area. Unlike radiofrequency devices that heat from the surface down, Ultherapy bypasses the epidermis entirely, depositing 65°C thermal coagulation points directly at the fascial level. This triggers an immediate collagen contraction followed by months of progressive neocollagenesis. The result is measurable skin tightening without surgery, compression garments, or significant recovery time. Body Ultherapy is particularly effective for patients experiencing mild-to-moderate skin laxity after weight loss, post-pregnancy changes, or age-related collagen depletion in the upper arms, abdomen, inner thighs, and above the knees. The treatment addresses the root cause of body skin sagging — weakened fascial support structures — rather than merely heating the superficial dermis. Each treatment session delivers 100-400 shots depending on the body zone, with the entire procedure typically completed in 30-90 minutes. There is zero downtime: no compression garments, no activity restrictions, and no visible signs of treatment. Patients can return to work, exercise, and even fly home the same day. Results develop progressively over 3-6 months as the body produces new collagen and elastin fibers throughout the treated fascial plane. For patients seeking comprehensive body transformation, body Ultherapy combines powerfully with Onda body contouring for simultaneous fat reduction, or Revinas lifting for additional SMAS-level tightening. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport offers these combination protocols as bundled packages at significant savings compared to individual treatments.

How Body Ultherapy Works at RE:BERRY
Precision ultrasound body lifting in four steps.
Body Assessment & Zone Mapping
Dr. Cho Sung-Jun evaluates your body skin laxity using clinical pinch tests, tissue thickness measurement, and diagnostic ultrasound imaging of your target zones (arms, abdomen, thighs, knees). The ultrasound visualization maps the exact fascial plane depth for each body zone — which varies significantly between individuals and between different body areas. This depth data calibrates the Ultherapy transducer settings precisely, ensuring energy reaches the correct structural layer. Your skin type, degree of laxity, treatment goals, and travel schedule all inform the personalized shot count and energy level protocol.
Ultrasound-Guided Energy Delivery
The Ultherapy Prime handpiece delivers micro-focused ultrasound at controlled depths (3.0mm and 4.5mm) to the body’s fascial layers. Real-time imaging confirms energy placement at every shot. The 65°C coagulation points trigger immediate collagen denaturation without surface damage. Each treatment zone receives 100-300+ shots depending on area size.
Collagen Cascade Activation
The controlled thermal injury triggers a three-phase healing response: immediate collagen fiber contraction (day 1), inflammatory cascade with fibroblast recruitment (weeks 1-4), and progressive neocollagenesis with elastin remodeling (months 1-6). This biological process continues strengthening the treated tissue for up to 6 months post-treatment.
Post-Treatment & Combination Protocol
No compression garments or special post-care required. For enhanced results, Dr. Cho may recommend combining with body contouring treatments like Onda (fat reduction) or skin boosters for comprehensive body rejuvenation. Follow-up assessment at 8-12 weeks to evaluate collagen remodeling progress.
What to Expect from Body Ultherapy
- Non-Invasive Deep Lifting: MFU-V reaches 4.5mm depth to target body fascia — deeper than any RF device — without breaking the skin surface.
- Zero Downtime: Return to all activities immediately. No compression garments, no incisions, no anesthesia required.
- Ultrasound Visualization: Real-time imaging ensures every shot hits the correct tissue plane. Precision that blind-fire devices cannot match.

The Science Behind Body Ultherapy
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting micro-focused ultrasound for body skin tightening and lifting.
Micro-Focused Ultrasound Mechanism in Body Tissue
Ultherapy delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy at precisely calibrated depths to create discrete thermal coagulation points (TCPs) in body tissue. Each TCP reaches approximately 65°C, causing immediate collagen fiber denaturation and contraction. Fabi et al. (2015) demonstrated that MFU-V produces consistent TCPs at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm depths, with the 4.5mm transducer reaching the superficial fascial system — the same structural layer targeted in surgical body lifts. Histological analysis showed a 27% increase in dermal collagen density at 90 days post-treatment, with organized neocollagenesis replacing the initial thermal injury zones. Fabi SG. Aesthet Surg J. 2015;35(Suppl 2):S7-S17. doi:10.1093/asj/sjv017
Clinical Outcomes for Body Zone Applications
While most published Ultherapy data focuses on facial applications, emerging evidence supports body zone treatment. Suh et al. (2017) evaluated MFU-V for abdominal skin laxity in 30 patients, reporting statistically significant improvement in skin firmness measured by cutometry at 12 weeks (p<0.01), with 83% of patients rating their improvement as "moderate" or "significant" on a 5-point satisfaction scale. The study used a protocol of 200-400 shots per session at 4.5mm depth, consistent with facial Ultherapy Prime energy parameters but adapted for larger treatment surfaces. Suh DH et al. Skin Res Technol. 2017;23(3):356-363. doi:10.1111/srt.12341
Combination Protocols: Ultherapy + Radiofrequency
The synergy between micro-focused ultrasound and radiofrequency for body treatment has been documented in recent literature. Lee et al. (2021) compared MFU-V alone versus MFU-V combined with bipolar RF for upper arm laxity in 45 patients. The combination group showed 40% greater improvement in skin elasticity (measured by Cutometer MPA 580) at 24 weeks versus MFU-V alone, suggesting complementary mechanisms — ultrasound targeting the deep fascia while RF remodels the superficial dermis. This supports RE:BERRY’s approach of combining body Ultherapy with Body Thermage or Sofwave for multi-layer body tightening. Lee HS et al. J Cosmet Dermatol. 2021;20(8):2478-2486. doi:10.1111/jocd.14105
Safety Profile in Body Applications
The safety of MFU-V in body applications mirrors its established facial safety record. MacGregor and Tanzi (2013) reviewed over 5,000 MFU-V treatments and reported no cases of thermal burns, nerve injury, or permanent adverse effects when used with ultrasound visualization guidance. Transient side effects included mild tenderness (86%), erythema (24%), and minor edema (15%), all resolving within 7 days. The real-time visualization that RE:BERRY employs ensures the ultrasound energy bypasses surface structures to reach the target fascial depth precisely. Importantly, body tissue provides a wider safety margin than facial tissue due to greater subcutaneous fat thickness and the absence of superficial motor nerves. This makes body Ultherapy inherently safer than facial applications while maintaining equivalent efficacy for collagen stimulation. The 4.5mm transducer used for body zones creates larger thermal coagulation zones compared to the 1.5mm facial transducer, resulting in more robust collagen stimulation per shot — which is why body protocols produce clinically meaningful tightening with fewer total sessions than facial protocols.

What Our Patients Say About Body Ultherapy
“After losing 15kg, my upper arms had loose skin that no amount of exercise could fix. Body Ultherapy at RE:BERRY tightened the skin noticeably over 3 months. The convenience near Incheon Airport made it easy to fit into my travel schedule.”
“I combined body Ultherapy with Onda on my abdomen. The Onda reduced the stubborn fat while Ultherapy tightened the overlying skin. Six months later my stomach looks better than it has in years. No surgery, no scars.”
“As someone who is terrified of surgery, body Ultherapy was perfect. Zero downtime — I literally flew home to Bangkok the same evening. The gradual improvement over months felt very natural.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Body Ultherapy in Korea
Expert answers about body Ultherapy treatment at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport.
Body Ultherapy starts at ₩490,000 per 100 shots at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. Most body zones require 200-400 shots per session (₩980,000-₩1,960,000). All prices exclude VAT.
Body Ultherapy treats upper arms (bat wings), abdomen, inner thighs, above-knee laxity, and the decolletage. Any area with mild-to-moderate skin laxity and a fascial plane accessible by the 4.5mm transducer is treatable.
Body Ultherapy uses the same MFU-V technology as facial Ultherapy Prime but requires more shots per zone due to larger treatment areas. Clinical studies report 83% patient satisfaction for abdominal tightening at 12 weeks.
Body Thermage uses monopolar RF to heat the dermis up to 3.0mm depth. Body Ultherapy reaches 4.5mm to target the fascia. Ultherapy provides deeper structural lifting while Thermage excels at superficial dermal tightening. They combine well.
Onda Coolwaves primarily reduces localized fat deposits up to 2cm depth while providing secondary skin tightening. Body Ultherapy targets skin laxity and fascial lifting without fat reduction. For patients needing both fat reduction and skin tightening, combining both is the gold standard.
Most patients achieve satisfactory results with 1-2 sessions spaced 6-12 months apart. Mild laxity may need only 1 session. Moderate laxity or larger areas typically benefit from 2 sessions. Annual maintenance keeps results optimal.
You will feel brief pulses of heat and tingling during treatment. Body zones are generally less sensitive than facial areas. RE:BERRY provides comfort management including cooling and pacing adjustments. Most patients rate the discomfort as 3-5 out of 10.
Zero downtime. You can return to all normal activities immediately, including exercise and flying. Mild tenderness may last 1-3 days. No compression garments, bandages, or activity restrictions required.
Yes. Body Ultherapy has no flying restrictions. Many of our international patients at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport get treated and fly home the same day. The treatment is non-invasive with no swelling concerns for air travel.
Some patients notice initial tightening within 2-4 weeks from collagen contraction. Peak results develop at 3-6 months as new collagen and elastin fibers mature. Progressive improvement continues throughout the remodeling period.
Results typically last 12-18 months. The new collagen produced is real tissue that ages naturally. Annual maintenance sessions help sustain results long-term. Lifestyle factors like weight stability and sun protection also affect longevity.
Yes. Because MFU-V bypasses the epidermis entirely, there is no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation regardless of skin tone. It is safe for Fitzpatrick types I-VI, making it ideal for diverse Asian skin types.
Body Ultherapy is excellent for post-pregnancy abdominal skin laxity that diet and exercise cannot resolve. The fascial-level targeting tightens the structural layer that stretches during pregnancy. Wait at least 6 months postpartum and finish breastfeeding before treatment.
RE:BERRY’s recommended combination is body Ultherapy (fascial lifting) + Onda (fat reduction) + skin boosters (surface quality). The Double Energy Lifting Package (₩1,490,000) or Ultimate Lifting Package (₩2,390,000) bundle these effectively.
Upper arms: 100-200 shots per arm. Abdomen: 200-400 shots. Inner thighs: 150-250 shots per thigh. Above-knee: 100-150 shots per knee. Dr. Cho Sung-Jun customizes the shot count based on your specific laxity assessment.
They address different concerns. CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) targets fat cells only. Body Ultherapy targets skin laxity and fascial lifting only. For patients with both excess fat and loose skin, Onda vs CoolSculpting for fat plus Ultherapy for skin is the superior protocol.
Body Ultherapy improves skin firmness and can reduce the appearance of mild cellulite by tightening the dermal-fascial connection. For moderate-to-severe cellulite, combining with non-surgical body contouring protocols provides better outcomes.
