What Is Laser Lifting?
Laser lifting is a non-surgical procedure that uses focused energy — ultrasound, radiofrequency, or microwave — to heat deep tissue layers, stimulating collagen production and producing a visible lifting and tightening effect without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, we use FDA-cleared Sofwave SUPERB and CE-marked Onda Coolwaves to target distinct tissue depths for comprehensive facial and body contouring.
Traditional surgical facelifts require general anesthesia, weeks of recovery, and carry risks of scarring and nerve damage. Laser lifting achieves meaningful skin tightening by heating the SMAS layer (Sofwave at 1.5 mm mid-dermis) or the subcutaneous fat and collagen network (Onda at variable depths via Coolwaves). A 2023 systematic review in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that energy-based lifting devices improved tissue laxity scores by 40-65 percent at 3 months post-treatment with patient satisfaction rates exceeding 87 percent (doi:10.1111/jocd.15620). Because treatments take 30-60 minutes with zero downtime, laser lifting is ideal for travelers visiting Incheon who want visible results before boarding their flight. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport is located minutes from ICN Terminal 1, open every day including holidays, and staffed by physicians who speak eight languages.

How Laser Lifting Works at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
A streamlined four-step protocol designed for travelers and locals seeking non-surgical rejuvenation.
Consultation & Skin Analysis
Dr. Cho performs a comprehensive facial and body assessment using high-resolution imaging. Your skin laxity, fat distribution, and collagen density are evaluated to determine the optimal device — Sofwave for facial lifting or Onda for body contouring. Treatment goals and expectations are discussed in your preferred language.
Preparation & Numbing
For Sofwave, a thin layer of ultrasound gel is applied. Onda requires no preparation — the handpiece cools the skin surface while heating deeper layers. Topical anesthetic cream can be applied for sensitive areas (15-20 minutes). Treatment zones are mapped and marked for precise energy delivery.
Energy Delivery & Tissue Heating
Sofwave delivers Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology at 1.5 mm depth, creating a continuous thermal zone in the mid-dermis. Onda emits Coolwaves at 2.45 GHz microwave frequency, selectively targeting subcutaneous fat and the fibrous septae network. Both devices feature integrated cooling systems to protect the epidermis. Treatment takes 30-60 minutes depending on areas.
Aftercare & Same-Day Travel
Post-treatment soothing mask is applied. You may experience mild warmth or pinkness for 1-2 hours. No bruising, no swelling, no activity restrictions. You can apply makeup, eat normally, and board your flight immediately. Results develop progressively over 8-12 weeks as new collagen forms. We provide aftercare instructions in eight languages and follow-up via WhatsApp or KakaoTalk.

The Science Behind Laser Lifting
Peer-reviewed research supporting Sofwave and Onda mechanisms of action and clinical efficacy.
Sofwave SUPERB: Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam
Sofwave SUPERB generates seven parallel ultrasound beams at 1.5 MHz frequency, creating a continuous thermal effect zone at 1.5 mm depth in the mid-dermis. Unlike HIFU devices that create discrete focal points, SUPERB technology produces a uniform heat band measuring 7 mm wide x 1.5 mm deep. This induces Type I and Type III collagen neosynthesis through the heat-shock protein pathway (HSP47 and HSP70). The integrated SofCool system simultaneously cools the epidermis to 18 degrees Celsius, preventing surface burns while maintaining therapeutic temperatures of 60-70 degrees Celsius at the target depth.
Onda Coolwaves: Selective Microwave Technology
Onda utilizes 2.45 GHz microwave energy (Coolwaves) that penetrates beyond the dermis into the subcutaneous fat layer. At this frequency, energy absorption is highest in adipose tissue and the fibrous septae network connecting skin to muscle. Three specialized handpieces (Shallow at 2-4 mm, Deep at 10-15 mm, and Special for curved areas) allow precise depth selection. The integrated cryogenic cooling system protects the epidermis and dermis while delivering therapeutic heating to target tissues. This dual action — lipolysis of fat cells and contraction of fibrous septae — produces both volume reduction and skin tightening in a single session.
Clinical Evidence for Non-Surgical Lifting
Goldie et al. (2023) conducted a prospective multi-center study of 137 subjects treated with Sofwave, demonstrating statistically significant improvement in Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale scores at 12 weeks (p less than 0.001) with 92% patient satisfaction. Boen and Zachary (2020) published a randomized controlled trial showing Onda Coolwaves achieved 2.1 cm average waist circumference reduction at 12 weeks with simultaneous skin tightening, measured by cutometer elasticity scores. A meta-analysis by Zhang et al. (2024) across 14 studies and 1,847 patients found energy-based lifting devices produced clinically meaningful improvement in 78-94% of patients, with adverse event rates below 3%, predominantly limited to transient erythema.

What Our Patients Say About Laser Lifting
“I had Sofwave during a 6-hour layover at Incheon. Three months later, my jawline is noticeably sharper. The whole visit took about 90 minutes including consultation.”
“I was nervous about trying a non-surgical lift, but Dr. Cho explained everything clearly in English. Zero pain, zero downtime, and my husband noticed the difference after just one month.”
“The Onda treatment for my chin area was incredibly fast — maybe 20 minutes. I flew back to Bangkok the same afternoon. The tightening effect was visible by week 6.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Lifting
Expert answers from our physicians at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport.
RE:BERRY Incheon Airport offers Sofwave SUPERB full face at ₩990,000 and Onda Coolwaves at ₩650,000 per treatment area. All prices exclude 10% VAT.
Sofwave uses synchronous ultrasound to target collagen at 1.5 mm depth for facial lifting and tightening. Onda uses 2.45 GHz Coolwaves to target subcutaneous fat and fibrous septae for body contouring and skin tightening. They complement each other and can be combined.
Yes. Both Sofwave and Onda have zero downtime. You can apply makeup, eat, and board your flight within minutes of completing treatment. No activity restrictions.
Results from both Sofwave and Onda develop over 2-3 months as collagen remodels and typically last 12-18 months. Annual maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain the lifting effect.
Most patients rate Sofwave discomfort at 1-3 out of 10 and Onda at 2-4 out of 10. The integrated cooling systems in both devices minimize sensation. Topical numbing is available but rarely needed.
Ultherapy Prime targets the deeper SMAS layer at 4.5 mm for maximum lifting. Sofwave targets the mid-dermis at 1.5 mm with less discomfort. Onda targets subcutaneous fat. Each addresses different tissue layers — they can be combined for multi-depth rejuvenation.
Ideal candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity, are aged 30-65, and want non-surgical improvement. Both devices are safe for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI). Patients with severe laxity may benefit more from a thread lift or surgical consultation.
Most patients see significant improvement from a single session. However, patients with more advanced laxity may benefit from a second treatment at 6-12 months. Dr. Cho will recommend the optimal protocol during your consultation.
Sofwave is FDA-cleared for the eyebrow, submental area, and neck. Onda can treat the face, neck, abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, and buttocks. RE:BERRY Incheon offers full-face and full-body protocols.
All treatments are performed by Head Director Dr. Cho Sung-Jun or Dr. Kim Dong-Young, both certified in advanced energy-based lifting. Never by nurses or technicians.
Yes. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport is open 365 days a year, including all Korean holidays, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Walk-ins are accepted but appointments are recommended.
Yes. Many patients combine Sofwave with Botox for dynamic wrinkles or filler for volume restoration. Botox can be administered in the same session. Filler is typically done on a separate day or at least 2 weeks apart.
Laser lifting uses focused energy to stimulate collagen without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Results are more subtle than surgery but carry virtually no risk of scarring, nerve damage, or hematoma. It is ideal for patients who want improvement without the commitment of surgery.
Some patients notice mild tightening on the same day due to initial collagen contraction. However, the primary results develop over 2-3 months as new collagen forms and remodels. Peak improvement is typically seen at 3-6 months.
Arrive with clean skin free of makeup. Avoid retinoids for 3 days prior. No fasting required. Bring your passport for medical records if you are an international visitor.
Side effects are minimal and transient. Sofwave may cause mild redness (1-2 hours) and warmth. Onda may cause mild tenderness in the treated area for 1-3 days. No bruising, scarring, or pigmentation changes occur with either device.
Yes. Sofwave SUPERB effectively tightens submental tissue, and Onda Coolwaves can simultaneously reduce submental fat. The combination is highly effective for non-surgical double chin reduction.
