Sofwave SUPERB Skin Tightening Near Incheon Airport
FDA-cleared Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology targets the mid-dermis at 1.5mm depth for clinically proven skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport offers Sofwave as a standalone treatment or combined with deep-layer devices for multi-depth lifting protocols. Complimentary airport pickup from ICN.
What Is Sofwave?
Sofwave is an FDA-cleared, next-generation ultrasound device that uses proprietary SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to deliver focused thermal energy at precisely 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis. This stimulates new collagen and elastin production for clinically proven skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and facial contouring without surgery or downtime. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, Sofwave 100 shots is available from ₩990,000.
Sofwave stands apart from other ultrasound-based aesthetic treatments by targeting the sweet spot of collagen production: the mid-dermis at 1.5mm depth. While Ultherapy Prime reaches the deep SMAS layer at 4.5mm for structural lifting, Sofwave concentrates its energy in the dermal collagen matrix where the majority of skin firmness and elasticity originates. The SUPERB technology generates seven parallel ultrasound beams simultaneously, creating a uniform 3D thermal zone that heats the dermis to 60-70 degrees Celsius while an integrated cooling mechanism (Sofcool) protects the skin surface. This controlled thermal injury triggers a robust wound-healing response, producing fresh type I and type III collagen fibers over the following 2-3 months. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, located on Yeongjong-do just minutes from Incheon International Airport, is the ideal destination for travelers seeking this quick, zero-downtime treatment. Complimentary airport pickup ensures a seamless experience. Head Director Dr. Cho Sung-Jun frequently combines Sofwave with deeper-acting devices for a comprehensive multi-layer rejuvenation strategy.

How Sofwave Works at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
A streamlined four-step protocol delivering visible skin tightening in under 45 minutes.
Consultation & Skin Analysis
Dr. Cho Sung-Jun evaluates your skin condition, laxity level, wrinkle depth, and aesthetic goals. He determines whether standalone Sofwave or a multi-device combination protocol will deliver the best results for your specific concerns.
Skin Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and ultrasound gel is applied. Unlike many energy-based devices, Sofwave’s integrated Sofcool technology means most patients do not require topical numbing cream, significantly reducing preparation time — ideal for travelers on tight schedules.
SUPERB Energy Delivery
The Sofwave handpiece delivers seven parallel ultrasound beams simultaneously, creating a uniform 3D cylindrical thermal zone at 1.5mm depth. Each shot precisely heats the mid-dermis to 60-70 degrees Celsius while the Sofcool system continuously protects the skin surface. A full-face session involves approximately 100 shots delivered in 30-45 minutes.
Immediate Return to Activity
Treatment is complete. There is zero downtime — no redness, no swelling, no restrictions. You can apply makeup, fly, exercise, or continue your travel itinerary immediately. Results begin developing as new collagen forms over 4-12 weeks.

The Science Behind Sofwave SUPERB Technology
Understanding how Sofwave’s proprietary parallel beam ultrasound achieves clinically proven skin tightening at the optimal dermal depth.
SUPERB: Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam
Sofwave’s SUPERB technology represents a fundamentally different approach to ultrasound-based aesthetics. Instead of a single focused beam (as used in traditional HIFU devices like Ultherapy Prime), Sofwave generates seven parallel ultrasound beams that fire simultaneously. These beams create a three-dimensional cylindrical thermal zone at precisely 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis, where the highest concentration of collagen and elastin fibers reside.
Why 1.5mm Depth Matters
The mid-dermis at 1.5mm depth contains the densest network of type I and type III collagen fibers responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. By concentrating thermal energy at this precise depth (60-70 degrees Celsius), Sofwave triggers a controlled wound-healing response: existing denatured collagen contracts immediately, while fibroblasts are activated to produce new, organized collagen over the following 2-6 months. The result is progressive skin tightening and wrinkle reduction that appears natural and lasts approximately 12 months.
Sofcool Integrated Cooling Protection
The Sofcool system is an integrated cooling mechanism that continuously maintains the skin surface at a safe temperature during treatment. This epidermal protection serves two critical functions: it prevents surface burns or pigmentation changes (making the treatment safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types), and it dramatically reduces treatment discomfort — most patients rate pain at only 2-3 on a 10-point scale, significantly lower than other energy-based devices.
Multi-Depth Strategy at RE:BERRY
At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, Dr. Cho Sung-Jun uses Sofwave as part of a multi-depth treatment strategy. Sofwave addresses the mid-dermis (1.5mm), while Ultherapy Prime targets the SMAS layer (4.5mm), and Onda Coolwaves addresses subcutaneous tissue. The popular Double Line-Up Lifting package (Sofwave + Onda, ₩1,590,000) combines mid-dermal firming with subcutaneous contouring for a comprehensive result.
Clinical Evidence
Halachmi et al. (2020) demonstrated significant wrinkle reduction in 93% of patients at 12 weeks post-treatment, with results maintained at 6 months. Goldie et al. (2021) confirmed Sofwave’s efficacy across diverse skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI) with no adverse events related to skin color. A multi-center study by Brobst (2021) showed 88% investigator-assessed improvement in skin laxity at 12 weeks, with 91% patient satisfaction.

What Our International Patients Say About Sofwave
“I was skeptical about a ‘no downtime’ claim, but Sofwave delivered. Had the treatment at 10 AM, was back at the airport by noon, and flew to Tokyo with zero visible signs of any procedure. By month two, my colleagues started commenting on how refreshed I looked.”
“Dr. Cho recommended the Double Line-Up package combining Sofwave with Onda. The Sofwave was noticeably more comfortable than Ultherapy I had done years ago elsewhere. The results have been impressive — tighter skin, sharper jawline, and it all happened gradually so it looks completely natural.”
“What sold me on RE:BERRY Incheon Airport was the airport pickup and the fact that they are open every day. I travel through Incheon frequently for work, and now I schedule my maintenance sessions around my flights. The pricing is transparent and the results speak for themselves.”
