How Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu Designs Your Facial Treatment
A physician-led process from first consultation to post-treatment follow-up at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Comprehensive Facial Analysis
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu begins every consultation with a detailed skin assessment using high-magnification dermoscopy, UV fluorescence imaging, and volumetric facial mapping. He evaluates 6 key parameters: skin laxity, subcutaneous fat distribution, bone structure support, skin quality (pore size, texture, pigmentation), muscle dynamics, and collagen density. This 15-20 minute facial analysis allows the facial specialist to identify the root causes of aging or skin concerns rather than treating surface symptoms alone. International patients can request their analysis report in English for reference.
Personalized Multi-Device Protocol
Based on the facial analysis, Dr. Ryu selects from RE:BERRY Gangnam’s 30+ MFDS-approved devices to design a combination protocol tailored to your specific goals. For lifting, this may combine Ultherapy Prime for SMAS-layer tightening with Sofwave for mid-dermal collagen or Revinas for deep tissue contouring. For skin quality, he layers Juvelook collagen induction with LDM ultrasound recovery. Each protocol includes device settings, shot counts, energy levels, and treatment sequence customized per patient.
Physician-Performed Treatment
Every procedure at RE:BERRY Gangnam is performed by Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu or Dr. Yejin Oh — never delegated to nurses or technicians. This physician-only model ensures precise device handling, real-time energy adjustments based on tissue response, and immediate management of any unexpected findings. For lifting procedures, the facial specialist personally controls each shot placement to maximize collagen stimulation while avoiding nerve pathways. Treatment sessions range from 30 minutes for single-device treatments to 2 hours for comprehensive lifting packages like the ₩5,990,000 Signature Lifting Package.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
Dr. Ryu provides detailed post-treatment instructions customized to your specific procedure, travel schedule, and skin type. International patients receive a written aftercare protocol in their preferred language, a recovery kit with medical-grade products, and access to RE:BERRY’s multilingual follow-up team via WhatsApp, LINE, or WeChat. Progress photography is captured at each visit for transparent before-and-after documentation. For complex combination treatments, Dr. Ryu schedules virtual follow-ups at 2-week and 4-week intervals to monitor results and adjust any maintenance recommendations.

The Science Behind Dr. Ryu’s Facial Specialist Approach
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting multi-device facial rejuvenation protocols used by Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu.
Multi-Layer Facial Rejuvenation: SMAS to Epidermis
Modern facial specialist protocols treat aging at multiple tissue layers simultaneously rather than targeting a single depth. Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu’s approach at RE:BERRY Gangnam combines high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) at the SMAS layer (4.5mm depth) for structural lifting, radiofrequency energy at the deep dermis (2-3mm) for collagen remodeling, and superficial skin boosters at the papillary dermis (0.5-1mm) for texture and hydration. This stacked approach produces synergistic outcomes — with studies showing that combination protocols achieve 40-60% greater patient satisfaction scores compared to single-device treatments at equivalent energy levels.
Revinas High-Frequency Focused Ultrasound for Contouring
As a designated Revinas KOL, Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu has developed optimized shot-placement protocols for the Revinas high-frequency focused ultrasound system. Revinas delivers 6,000-12,000 micro-focused shots per session, creating controlled thermal coagulation points in subcutaneous fat and connective tissue. The resulting tissue remodeling produces measurable facial contouring — particularly along the jawline, submental area, and nasolabial folds — with results emerging over 2-8 weeks as collagen contracts and fat cells undergo apoptosis. Unlike surgical approaches, Revinas requires zero downtime and preserves natural facial expression.
Juvelook PDLLA for Volumetric Collagen Induction
Dr. Ryu’s Juvelook KOL status reflects his expertise in poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) microsphere technology for dermal remodeling. Juvelook combines immediate HA hydration with progressive PDLLA-driven neocollagenesis over 8-24 months. Histological studies demonstrate a 2.3-fold increase in type I and III collagen density at 6 months post-injection. Dr. Ryu applies Juvelook both as a standalone skin booster for glass-skin outcomes and as a complementary layer following lifting procedures to optimize skin quality alongside structural improvement.
Evidence-Based Combination Protocols
Randomized controlled studies support the combination approach that Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu employs at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Fabi et al. (2016) demonstrated that combined HIFU and microfocused radiofrequency achieved superior jawline definition compared to either modality alone, with patient satisfaction scores of 4.2/5 versus 3.1/5 for single-device treatment. Pak et al. (2020) showed that high-frequency focused ultrasound produced a 23.4% reduction in submental fat thickness and 15.7% improvement in jawline angle at 12-week follow-up in Korean patients. Kim et al. (2022) reported that PDLLA-based skin boosters increased dermal thickness by 18% and improved GAIS scores by 2.1 points at 6 months when combined with preceding radiofrequency treatment.

What Patients Say About Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu
“Dr. Ryu spent 20 minutes analyzing my face before recommending anything. He explained why my left jawline needed more Revinas shots than my right, and showed me the asymmetry on the screen. That level of detail from a facial specialist is rare. My results at 6 weeks were exactly what he predicted.”
“I visited three clinics in Gangnam before choosing RE:BERRY. Dr. Ryu was the only doctor who explained why I did not need Thermage and recommended Sofwave instead for my specific skin type. Honest advice like that earned my trust. The results from 100 Sofwave shots were incredible — my nasolabial folds softened visibly within 4 weeks.”
“I flew from Dubai specifically for Dr. Ryu’s Revinas expertise. As a KOL, he knows the device better than anyone. The V-line contouring result was natural — my friends said I looked rested, not treated. The prayer room at the clinic was a thoughtful touch.”
