RE:BERRY Gangnam delivers medical-grade body contouring using Onda CoolWaves microwave lipolysis, Revinas micro-pulse RF skin tightening, Berry Slim targeted fat-dissolving injections, and Soprano Titanium body treatments. Reduce stubborn fat, tighten loose skin, and reshape your silhouette without surgery, scars, or extended downtime — located 2 minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10.
What Is Non-Surgical Body Contouring?
Non-surgical body contouring at RE:BERRY Gangnam uses Onda CoolWaves microwave lipolysis at ₩1,090,000 per 100kJ session, Revinas micro-pulse RF at ₩1,790,000 for 6,000 shots, and Berry Slim fat-dissolving injections from ₩90,000 to permanently destroy fat cells and tighten skin without surgery or extended downtime.
Body contouring encompasses a range of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments designed to reduce localized fat deposits, tighten loose skin, and improve overall body shape without surgical intervention. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, our body contouring program combines multiple CE-marked technologies to address different tissue layers simultaneously. Onda CoolWaves delivers 2.45 GHz microwave energy that selectively targets adipocytes (fat cells) through Coolwaves technology, causing permanent apoptosis without damaging surrounding tissue. Revinas micro-pulse RF applies 448 kHz radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and tighten the dermal matrix over treated areas. Berry Slim injectable lipolysis uses deoxycholic acid to chemically dissolve small fat deposits in targeted zones. This multi-modality approach allows Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu to customize protocols for each patient’s specific body concerns — whether addressing post-pregnancy abdominal laxity, stubborn love handles resistant to diet and exercise, inner thigh contouring, or upper arm tightening. Unlike surgical liposuction, these treatments require no general anesthesia, no incisions, and no compression garments, making them ideal for international patients who want visible body improvements during a Seoul medical tourism trip.

How Body Contouring Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
Our four-step body contouring protocol combines assessment, customized treatment selection, multi-device application, and structured follow-up to deliver measurable fat reduction and skin tightening.
Body Assessment & Treatment Planning
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu performs a thorough body assessment measuring subcutaneous fat thickness, skin elasticity, and identifying target zones. Using caliper measurements and visual grading, he designs a personalized body contouring protocol selecting the optimal combination of Onda CoolWaves, Revinas RF, Berry Slim injections, or Soprano Titanium based on your specific anatomy and goals.
Target Zone Marking & Preparation
Treatment zones are precisely marked on the body to ensure complete coverage of target areas. For body contouring with Onda, grid patterns define the energy delivery map. For Berry Slim injections, injection points are plotted at 1-2cm intervals across the fat deposit. Skin is cleansed and topical anesthetic applied where needed for maximum comfort during the body contouring procedure.
Multi-Device Body Contouring Treatment
Energy-based body contouring is delivered according to the customized protocol. Onda CoolWaves applies 100kJ of 2.45 GHz microwave energy to selectively destroy fat cells. Revinas micro-pulse RF delivers 6,000+ shots of radiofrequency energy to tighten overlying skin. Berry Slim 10cc injections target small, isolated fat pockets. Treatment time varies from 30 minutes (single modality) to 90 minutes (combination protocol).
Post-Treatment & Follow-Up Protocol
Treated areas are soothed with cooling gel. Mild swelling or warmth may occur for 24-72 hours depending on the treatment combination. A follow-up assessment at 4-6 weeks evaluates fat reduction and skin tightening progress, with additional sessions scheduled if needed to achieve optimal body contouring results.
What to Expect from Body Contouring at RE:BERRY Gangnam
- Permanent Fat Cell Destruction: Onda CoolWaves and Berry Slim permanently destroy targeted fat cells through apoptosis. Once eliminated, these fat cells do not regenerate, providing lasting body contouring results.
- No Surgery, No Scars: All body contouring treatments at RE:BERRY Gangnam are non-surgical. No incisions, no general anesthesia, no compression garments, and no visible scarring.
- Simultaneous Fat Reduction + Skin Tightening: Our multi-device protocol addresses both excess fat and skin laxity in the same session, preventing the loose skin that often follows fat reduction alone.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. No extended recovery period, making body contouring ideal for medical tourists visiting Gangnam Seoul.
- Customizable Treatment Zones: Target specific problem areas including abdomen, flanks (love handles), inner thighs, upper arms, bra fat, back fat, double chin, and knees.
- Clinically Proven Technologies: All devices used are CE-marked and clinically validated with peer-reviewed evidence supporting their safety and efficacy for body contouring applications.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1-3 | Mild warmth, slight swelling, or tenderness in treated areas. Normal activities can resume. Berry Slim injection sites may show small bruises. |
| Week 1-2 | Swelling subsides. Fat cell apoptosis (programmed cell death) begins. The body’s lymphatic system starts processing destroyed fat cells. |
| Week 3-4 | First visible changes appear. Treated areas begin to feel firmer and slimmer as the body metabolizes destroyed adipocytes. |
| Month 2-3 | Significant fat reduction visible. Onda CoolWaves patients typically see 2-4cm circumference reduction. Skin tightening from Revinas RF becomes apparent. |
| Month 4-6 | Peak body contouring results achieved. Full collagen remodeling complete. Measurements show maximum circumference reduction. |
| Month 6-12 | Results maintained with stable weight. Annual maintenance sessions recommended for optimal long-term body contouring outcomes. |

The Science Behind Non-Surgical Body Contouring
Peer-reviewed research supporting the mechanisms and clinical efficacy of energy-based and injectable body contouring technologies.
Microwave Lipolysis: Onda CoolWaves Mechanism
Onda CoolWaves operates at 2.45 GHz, a microwave frequency specifically calibrated to target water molecules within adipocytes while sparing the surrounding dermis, vasculature, and connective tissue. The device uses a patented Coolwaves handpiece that delivers focused microwave energy through a specialized cooling system, maintaining epidermal temperatures below 42 degrees Celsius while raising adipocyte temperatures to 56-58 degrees Celsius. At this thermal threshold, fat cells undergo irreversible membrane disruption and apoptosis (programmed cell death). The destroyed adipocytes are gradually processed by the body’s macrophage system and eliminated through the lymphatic pathway over 8-12 weeks. Unlike cryolipolysis, which requires prolonged cold exposure and can cause paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, microwave-based body contouring delivers consistent, predictable results across all treated zones.
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening for Body Contouring
Revinas micro-pulse radiofrequency at 448 kHz delivers thousands of rapid-fire RF pulses into the dermal and subdermal layers, generating controlled thermal zones that trigger immediate collagen contraction (denaturation) followed by sustained neocollagenesis over 2-6 months. When applied to body areas following fat reduction, Revinas addresses the skin laxity that often accompanies volume loss. The 448 kHz frequency is specifically optimized for deep tissue heating without surface burns, making it safe for large body surface areas. Clinical observations at RE:BERRY Gangnam show that combining Onda body treatment with Revinas RF produces superior body contouring outcomes compared to either modality alone — fat reduction of 2-4cm circumference combined with measurable skin tightening.
Deoxycholic Acid Injectable Lipolysis
Berry Slim and similar deoxycholic acid-based injectables are synthetic forms of a naturally occurring bile acid that disrupts adipocyte cell membranes on contact. When injected directly into subcutaneous fat deposits, deoxycholic acid causes cytolysis (cell destruction) of targeted fat cells. The FDA approved deoxycholic acid (as Kybella/Belkyra) for submental fat reduction in 2015, with subsequent off-label use for small body fat deposits. Clinical data shows 79% of patients achieving noticeable fat reduction after 2-4 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The treatment is particularly effective for small, localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise, making it an accessible entry-level body contouring option.
Clinical Evidence for Non-Surgical Body Contouring
Systematic body contouring research demonstrates consistent outcomes across multiple device categories. Boisnic et al. documented histological evidence of selective adipocyte destruction following 2.45 GHz microwave treatment, with surrounding tissue structures remaining intact. Goldberg et al. published a prospective study showing radiofrequency-based body contouring achieved statistically significant circumference reduction in the abdomen and flanks. A pivotal multi-center trial for deoxycholic acid demonstrated that 68.2% of treated patients achieved a clinically meaningful reduction in submental fat versus 20.6% with placebo, validating the injectable body contouring approach.

What Our Patients Say About Body Contouring
“After two pregnancies, my abdomen had stubborn fat that no amount of exercise could fix. The Onda CoolWaves treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam reduced my waist by 3cm in just two months. The combination with Revinas also tightened the loose skin. I finally feel confident in fitted clothes again.”
“I came to Seoul specifically for body contouring at RE:BERRY. Dr. Ryu recommended Berry Slim for my double chin and Onda for my flanks. Three months later, my side profile is completely transformed. The pricing was much more affordable than clinics in Singapore.”
“What I appreciated most was Dr. Oh’s honest assessment. She told me which areas would respond well to non-surgical body contouring and which would need more sessions. No overselling. My inner thighs are noticeably slimmer after just one Onda session.”
“I was nervous about body treatments but the Berry Slim injection was surprisingly quick — about 15 minutes for my bra fat area. Some swelling for a few days, then steady improvement. At 90,000 won per session, it is incredible value for targeted fat reduction.”
