Sofwave Price in Korea 2026 — SUPERB Ultrasound Cost Guide
Sofwave SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology) delivers focused ultrasound at 1.5mm depth for mid-dermal collagen stimulation with built-in Sofcool cooling for maximum comfort. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Sofwave 100 shots costs ₩990,000 (excluding VAT). This guide covers pricing tiers, combination packages, international price comparisons, and how Sofwave fits into a comprehensive lifting protocol.
How Much Does Sofwave Cost in Korea in 2026?
Sofwave 100 shots costs ₩990,000 (excluding 10% VAT) at RE:BERRY Gangnam Seoul in April 2026. This includes a full-face treatment with Sofwave SUPERB parallel beam ultrasound technology, free physician consultation, and post-treatment monitoring. Sofwave is FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrow, submental, and neck tissue and is one of the most comfortable ultrasound lifting treatments available due to integrated Sofcool epidermal cooling.
Sofwave Medical’s SUPERB technology (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) represents a fundamentally different approach to ultrasound-based lifting compared to traditional micro-focused ultrasound. Instead of creating discrete thermal coagulation points, SUPERB generates a cylindrical heating zone at precisely 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis where the majority of collagen synthesis occurs. The parallel beam geometry ensures uniform energy distribution across the treatment area, while the integrated Sofcool mechanism maintains epidermal temperature below 43 degrees Celsius — effectively eliminating the discomfort associated with other energy-based lifting devices. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu (License No. 131644) positions Sofwave as either a standalone mid-dermal collagen boost or as a complement to deeper devices like Thermage FLX (dermal tightening) or Ultherapy (SMAS lifting). The combination approach — targeting multiple tissue depths in a single visit — is the clinic’s signature protocol for comprehensive non-surgical lifting. RE:BERRY Gangnam holds official Sofwave Certified Clinic status and is located at KI Tower, B1-B2, 2 minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10.

How Sofwave Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
Our Sofwave protocol emphasizes comfort, precision, and optionally combining with other devices for multi-depth results.
Step 1: Consultation & Lifting Assessment
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu evaluates your skin laxity, tissue thickness, and facial contour to determine whether Sofwave alone or a combination protocol would deliver optimal results. For patients with mild-to-moderate laxity, Sofwave standalone at ₩990,000 may be sufficient. For moderate-to-severe laxity, he may recommend combining Sofwave with Thermage FLX (₩2,980,000 combination) or Ultherapy. A written cost estimate is provided before any treatment decision. Consultations are free and available in 8 languages.
Step 2: Treatment Preparation
The face is cleansed and ultrasound coupling gel is applied. Unlike Ultherapy or Thermage, Sofwave’s integrated Sofcool technology means no topical anesthesia is needed — the treatment is inherently comfortable. The device transducer is calibrated and the treatment zones are mapped. Most patients describe the sensation as gentle warmth, with comfort levels significantly better than other energy-based lifting devices.
Step 3: SUPERB Ultrasound Energy Delivery
Dr. Ryu delivers 100 shots of SUPERB parallel beam ultrasound to the treatment zones. Each shot creates a uniform cylindrical heating zone at precisely 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis, where the highest concentration of collagen-producing fibroblasts resides. The Sofcool integrated cooling maintains the epidermis below 43 degrees Celsius throughout treatment, ensuring zero risk of surface burns. Treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes for full face. The built-in smart tracking system ensures complete coverage without gaps or overlaps.
Step 4: Immediate Recovery & Results Timeline
There is zero downtime after Sofwave treatment. Patients can apply makeup and resume all activities immediately — no redness, swelling, or peeling. Initial tightening may be noticeable within 1-2 weeks as collagen contraction begins. Full results develop over 3-6 months. RE:BERRY Gangnam schedules an optional follow-up at 3 months. For enhanced results, a second Sofwave session or complementary treatments like glass skin laser protocol can be added at follow-up.
What to Expect from Sofwave Treatment
- Virtually Painless Treatment Sofcool integrated cooling maintains the epidermis below 43 degrees Celsius throughout treatment. No topical anesthesia needed. Most patients rate discomfort at just 1-3 on a 10-point scale — the most comfortable ultrasound lifting experience available.
- FDA-Cleared Lifting Indication Sofwave is FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrow, submental tissue, and neck. Clinical studies demonstrate statistically significant improvement in skin laxity scores with high patient satisfaction rates.
- Fast Treatment Time Full-face treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes — shorter than Thermage FLX (45-60 min) or Ultherapy (60-90 min). Combined with zero downtime, Sofwave fits easily into a busy Seoul trip schedule.
- Excellent Safety Profile The 1.5mm depth targeting avoids the SMAS layer and subcutaneous fat, reducing the risk of nerve or fat damage. Safe for all skin types including Fitzpatrick V-VI. No risk of pigmentation changes or burns.
- Synergistic with Other Devices Sofwave at 1.5mm complements Thermage FLX (full dermis) and Ultherapy (4.5mm SMAS) for multi-depth lifting. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, the Sofwave + Thermage combination (₩2,980,000) is the most popular premium lifting package.

The Science Behind Sofwave SUPERB Ultrasound Technology
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting Sofwave’s parallel beam ultrasound mechanism for non-surgical lifting and collagen remodeling.
SUPERB Technology: Parallel Beam Ultrasound Architecture
Sofwave’s SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology uses seven parallel ultrasound beams operating at 7 MHz to create a uniform cylindrical heating zone at precisely 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis. Unlike micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) which creates discrete thermal coagulation points, SUPERB generates a continuous band of thermal energy parallel to the skin surface. This geometry ensures that the mid-dermal collagen network — where the highest concentration of fibroblasts resides — receives uniform thermal stimulation across the entire treatment area. The integrated Sofcool mechanism simultaneously cools the epidermis to below 43 degrees Celsius, protecting the surface while therapeutic temperatures of 60-70 degrees Celsius are maintained at the target depth.
Clinical Evidence for Lifting and Tightening
The pivotal multi-center clinical trial by Goldin et al. (2020) published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology evaluated Sofwave treatment in 67 subjects and demonstrated statistically significant improvement in facial skin laxity scores at 12 weeks, with continued improvement at 24 weeks. The Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale showed average improvement of 1.3 grades, and 93% of patients reported visible improvement. Histological analysis confirmed new collagen formation at the 1.5mm target depth with intact epidermis. A subsequent study by Brobst et al. (2021) specifically evaluated submental laxity and confirmed FDA-clearable improvement in 80% of treated subjects.
Combination Protocols: Multi-Depth Approach
Emerging evidence supports combining Sofwave with complementary energy devices for enhanced outcomes. A retrospective analysis by Dover et al. (2022) found that patients receiving Sofwave combined with monopolar RF (such as Thermage FLX) showed greater improvement in FACE-Q patient-reported outcome scores compared to either device alone. The rationale is tissue-depth complementarity: Sofwave targets mid-dermis at 1.5mm, Thermage FLX heats the full dermis to the subcutaneous interface, and Ultherapy reaches the SMAS at 4.5mm. By addressing every collagen-producing tissue depth, the combined approach maximizes total neocollagenesis. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Ryu offers this multi-depth protocol at ₩2,980,000 (Sofwave + Thermage FLX combination).

What Patients Say About Sofwave at RE:BERRY Gangnam
“I chose Sofwave because I wanted a lifting treatment without any pain. It was honestly the most comfortable aesthetic procedure I have ever had. The Sofcool cooling meant I barely felt anything. At 3 months, my jawline is noticeably tighter. ₩990,000 is incredible value compared to Singapore prices.”
“I combined Sofwave with Thermage FLX in a single visit at RE:BERRY. The total was ₩2,980,000 which would have cost me over $6,000 in Los Angeles. Dr. Ryu explained that each device works at a different depth — like addressing different floors of a building. At 4 months, the combined result is dramatic.”
“Coming from Tokyo, I was surprised how much cheaper Sofwave is in Gangnam. Same device, same technology, but about half the price. The clinic was spotless, communication was in Japanese, and Dr. Oh performed the entire treatment herself. I will be back for my annual maintenance.”
“The zero-downtime promise was real. I had Sofwave at 10am and was at COEX Mall by noon looking completely normal. No redness, no swelling. The tightening became visible at about 6 weeks and continues improving. Perfect treatment for a busy traveler.”
