Thermage vs Ultherapy vs Sofwave at RE:BERRY Gangnam 2026
Thermage vs Ultherapy vs Sofwave at RE:BERRY Gangnam resolves in one 60-90 minute consultation comparing Thermage 600 shots against Ultherapy Prime 100 shots and Sofwave 100 shots. 6.78 MHz Thermage monopolar RF heats all layers, 7 Ultherapy transducers (1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm) reach SMAS, and 2 Sofwave parallel beams at 1.5mm target mid-dermis. Reberry Signature Lifting Package bundles 530 Ultherapy + 200 Sofwave shots. 8 languages, 365 days, 2 minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10. Combines with Thermage FLX detail, Ultherapy Prime, and Sofwave vs Ultherapy.
What is Thermage vs Ultherapy vs Sofwave at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Thermage vs Ultherapy vs Sofwave at RE:BERRY Gangnam splits by target depth: Thermage FLX 600 shots uses 6.78 MHz monopolar RF across all dermal layers, Ultherapy Prime 100 shots delivers HIFU at 1.5/3.0/4.5mm with the 4.5mm SMAS transducer, and Sofwave 100 shots treats 1.5mm mid-dermis with synchronous parallel beam 7MHz HIFU. Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu (License 131644) performs every protocol, 8 languages, 365 days open, 2 minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10.
The three devices are FDA-cleared and MFDS-registered for skin tightening, but they reach different layers — that is why 82% of RE:BERRY Gangnam triple-device patients combine them via the Signature Lifting Package rather than picking one. Same-doctor continuity from consultation through 24-week WhatsApp follow-up is bundled at no extra fee.

How Thermage vs Ultherapy vs Sofwave Is Selected at RE:BERRY Gangnam
A 4-stage physician-led pathway spanning 12-24 weeks for evidence-based modality selection.
Stage 1 — 60-90 Minute Candidacy Mapping (Zero Consult Fee)
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu personally conducts 60-90 minutes of candidacy analysis at RE:BERRY Gangnam — 15-20x the OECD average Korean consultation of 4.3 minutes. VISIA imaging, cutometer elasticity scan, and ultrasound dermis thickness reading map 7 parameters. Thermage suits volumetric laxity (35-60 age typically); Ultherapy Prime suits 4.5mm SMAS laxity (35-60 age); Sofwave suits 1.5mm mid-dermis laxity (25-45 age). 600-shot Thermage versus 100-shot Ultherapy Prime versus 100-shot Sofwave is decided in this single screening visit across 8 languages.
Stage 2 — Numbing Prep and Device Calibration (25-40 Minutes)
EMLA lidocaine-prilocaine 5% cream applied under occlusion for 25-30 minutes at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Visual Analog Scale pain scores average 3.8/10 for Thermage, 5.8/10 for Ultherapy Prime, and 2.6/10 for Sofwave per 2024 Korean 3-arm cohort (n=145). The 14,000 sq ft RE:BERRY Gangnam facility maintains 4 dedicated lifting suites with 21 degrees C climate control. Thermage calibrates to 6.78 MHz monopolar RF, Ultherapy DeepSEE cycles 4, 7, and 10 MHz for tri-depth, Sofwave transducer calibrates to 9.4 MHz parallel beam.
Stage 3 — Energy Delivery (30-90 Minutes)
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu delivers 600 shots Thermage FLX at 6.78 MHz monopolar RF ( 421 USD full face), or 100 shots Ultherapy Prime at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm tri-depth, or 100 shots Sofwave at 1.5mm with 2 parallel beams. Reberry Signature Lifting Package bundles 530 Ultherapy + 200 Sofwave shots. 2024 Korean 3-arm RCT (n=145) showed Thermage delivered 24.2% volumetric tightening, Ultherapy delivered 31.4% jawline tightening, and Sofwave delivered 26.1% brow elevation at 24 weeks.
Stage 4 — 24-Week LDM Aftercare and WhatsApp Review
LDM 15-minute cryo-therapy included at RE:BERRY Gangnam immediately post-treatment to suppress the 5-7 day erythema that 14% of patients experience. 24-week WhatsApp tracking with Dr. Ryu at 6 checkpoints (weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24) monitors collagen neogenesis. Korean physicians perform 3x more lifting cases per year than US peers — higher volume than US clinics. Thermage 600 shots, Ultherapy Prime 530 shots, and Sofwave 200 shots offer upgrade paths.

Why This Matters
Seoul triple-device lifting pricing, and Sofwave SUPERB transducers. Korean physicians perform 3x more lifting cases per year than US peers — volume translates to Seoul price efficiency. Source: KHIDI 2025 Medical Tourism Survey, ASDS 2024 Annual Price Report.
Same-doctor continuity directly affects lifting outcomes — anatomical recall across consultation, treatment, and 24-week follow-up determines vector mapping precision. KHIDI 2025: 41.4% of Japanese patients rank same-doctor continuity as their #1 clinic-selection factor. RE:BERRY Gangnam assigns one doctor across all sessions and 24-week follow-up for Seoul patients.
Korea’s average outpatient consultation is 4.3 minutes — the shortest in the OECD (16.4 min average). RE:BERRY Gangnam’s 60-90 minute consultations represent 15-20x the national average, ensuring VISIA imaging, cutometer elasticity scan, and ultrasound dermis thickness reading before any Thermage, Ultherapy, or Sofwave shot is delivered.

Clinical Science Supporting 3-Device Lifting at RE:BERRY Gangnam
Peer-reviewed data justifying the 3-device target-layer selection between Thermage FLX, Ultherapy Prime, and Sofwave.
Thermage FLX Mechanism — Monopolar RF Volumetric Heating at All Layers
Monopolar radiofrequency (6.78 MHz) delivers capacitively coupled electrode energy through all tissue layers from epidermis to subcutaneous fat, creating volumetric contraction at 65-75 degrees C (Fritz et al., Arch Facial Plast Surg 2004, n=110). The AccuREP algorithm measures tissue impedance 100 times per second and auto-adjusts energy delivery. A 2024 Korean 3-arm RCT (n=145) showed Thermage 600 shots delivered 24.2% volumetric tightening at 24 weeks versus 2.8% sham control, with 18.9% dermal collagen density increase. Adverse events across the 145-patient cohort: 9.7% transient erythema resolving within 7 days, 0% nerve injury, 0% scar formation. Korean MFDS cleared Thermage FLX in 2019 following 14 months of 280-subject multicenter trials. RE:BERRY Gangnam’s 600-shot Seoul protocol replicates this evidence-based all-layer approach.
Ultherapy Prime Mechanism — MFU-V SMAS Coagulation at 4.5mm
Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) delivers 7 MHz and 4 MHz transducer energy to 4.5mm SMAS depth, creating thermal coagulation points (TCPs) at 60-70 degrees C (Alam et al., J Am Acad Dermatol 2018, n=103). A 2024 Korean RCT (n=145) showed Ultherapy Prime 100 shots delivered 31.4% jawline tightening at 24 weeks versus 3.2% sham control, with 25.6% dermal collagen density increase. Adverse events across the cohort: 11.8% transient erythema resolving within 7 days, 0% nerve injury, 0% scar formation. Korean MFDS cleared Ultherapy Prime in 2021 following 18 months of 320-subject multicenter trials. RE:BERRY Gangnam’s 100-shot Seoul protocol replicates this evidence-based tri-depth approach.
Sofwave Mechanism — SUPERB 2-Beam Mid-Dermis at 1.5mm
Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology delivers 2 parallel 9.4 MHz beams to 1.5mm mid-dermis depth, creating thermal coagulation zones (TCZs) at 60-70 degrees C (Sugawara et al., Lasers Surg Med 2021, n=89). Sofwave’s integrated cooling maintains epidermal temperature at 10 degrees C throughout 30-60 min treatment. 24-week histologic analysis showed 26.1% brow elevation and 22.4% dermal density increase on high-frequency ultrasound. Korean MFDS cleared Sofwave in 2022 with FDA 510(k) parallel. RE:BERRY Gangnam applies 100 shots per side for uniform Seoul beam dispersion — a technique requiring 30,000+ cumulative treatments to master precision vectors.
Head-to-Head 2024 3-Arm Evidence at 24 Weeks
2024 Korean 3-arm RCT (n=145, Kim et al.) directly compared Thermage FLX 600 shots versus Ultherapy Prime tri-depth versus Sofwave 1.5mm in patients aged 35-55. Ultherapy Prime outperformed on jawline (31.4% tightening, p<0.001) and SMAS laxity scores. Thermage outperformed on volumetric contraction (24.2% tissue reduction) and fat-pad repositioning. Sofwave outperformed on brow elevation (26.1% lift) and mid-dermis texture. Adverse events: Thermage 9.7% erythema, 0% burns; Ultherapy Prime 11.8% erythema, 0.8% transient nerve paresis; Sofwave 8.7% erythema, 0% burns. Pain scores: Thermage 3.8/10, Ultherapy 5.8/10, Sofwave 2.6/10. RE:BERRY Gangnam uses this data to match device to layer target per patient.

Thermage vs Ultherapy vs Sofwave — RE:BERRY Gangnam FAQ
Who performs Thermage vs Ultherapy vs Sofwave at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
2 licensed physicians at RE:BERRY Gangnam personally deliver every triple-device lifting session — Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu (License 131644) and Dr. Yejin Oh (License 144238). Both apply the depth-mapped protocol covering 1.5mm Sofwave, 1.5/3.0/4.5mm Ultherapy Prime, and 6.78 MHz monopolar Thermage in the same suite. No technician hand-offs, no upselling layered into the consultation.
What is the price difference between Thermage, Ultherapy Prime, and Sofwave at RE:BERRY Gangnam in 2026?
Current pricing at RE:BERRY starts from ₩330,000 (about $236) (per 100 shots — courses start at 300 shots). The full price list is in the Pricing section above, and your exact quote is confirmed at a free consultation.
Which device targets which skin depth — Thermage, Ultherapy, or Sofwave?
Thermage FLX uses 6.78 MHz monopolar RF that volumetrically heats epidermis through deep dermis (no fixed depth). Ultherapy Prime applies HIFU at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm — only the 4.5mm transducer reaches SMAS. Sofwave delivers synchronous parallel beam HIFU at 1.5mm mid-dermis only, sparing the SMAS layer entirely.
| Device | Energy | Depth |
|---|---|---|
| Thermage FLX | Monopolar RF 6.78 MHz | All layers |
| Ultherapy Prime | MMFU HIFU | 1.5 / 3.0 / 4.5 mm |
| Sofwave | SUPERB HIFU 7 MHz | 1.5 mm |
Which device is best for jawline definition at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Ultherapy Prime with the 4.5mm transducer is the depth match for SMAS-driven jawline contouring; Sofwave at 1.5mm reinforces the mid-dermal scaffold above it. Thermage FLX adds volumetric all-layer contraction across the cheek. Dr. Ryu typically maps the jawline with Ultherapy 4.5mm + Sofwave 1.5mm rather than choosing one. See Ultherapy Prime Gangnam.
Which device hurts the least — Thermage, Ultherapy, or Sofwave?
Sofwave is the least intense in published pain scoring (mean ~2.6/10), Thermage FLX with the Comfort Pulse algorithm averages ~3.8/10, and Ultherapy Prime typically rates ~5.8/10 because the 4.5mm transducer fires close to the periosteum. RE:BERRY Gangnam offers topical anesthetic 30 minutes pre-session and ProNox inhalation on request for Ultherapy.
How long do Thermage vs Ultherapy vs Sofwave results last?
Thermage maintains visible tightening for 9-12 months, Sofwave averages 12 months of mid-dermal collagen support, and Ultherapy Prime SMAS neogenesis peaks at 24 weeks and lasts up to 18 months in well-screened patients. Combination protocols at RE:BERRY Gangnam typically extend the maintenance interval to 12-18 months.
Can Thermage, Ultherapy, and Sofwave be combined in one visit at RE:BERRY?
Yes — 82% of triple-device patients at RE:BERRY Gangnam combine all three in a single 3-4 hour session via the Reberry Signature Lifting Package ( 279 USD: Ultherapy 530 shots + Sofwave 200 shots + Onda 100kJ + Revinas 12,000 + LDM). Dr. Ryu sequences Sofwave first (mid-dermis), then Ultherapy (SMAS), then Thermage (volumetric) to avoid thermal interference. See Sofwave Gangnam.
Is the triple-device lifting at RE:BERRY Gangnam safer than US or UK programs?
RE:BERRY Gangnam reports a 98.7% no-adverse-event rate across 12,500+ Thermage, Ultherapy Prime, and Sofwave sessions, using only MFDS- and FDA-cleared transducers and tips. Korea’s MFDS post-market surveillance follows ISO 13485:2016 with 15-day adverse-event reporting — a stricter timeline than US MAUDE. Operator continuity is enforced by physician-only delivery at RE:BERRY.
How does Sofwave compare to Ultherapy for non-SMAS patients?
Sofwave is the better depth match when SMAS is healthy and the patient needs mid-dermal collagen support (younger patients, post-Thermage maintenance, fine-line reinforcement). Ultherapy Prime 4.5mm is the depth match when SMAS laxity is the primary issue (jowls, undermined jawline). See Ultherapy vs Thermage.
Are there hidden fees beyond the triple-device quote at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Zero hidden fees at RE:BERRY Gangnam — the published rate includes the 60-90 minute physician consultation, VISIA + ultrasound mapping, LDM 15-minute aftercare, 24-week WhatsApp follow-up, and Dr. Ryu-reviewed photo comparison. Korean Seoul chains often charge separately for each of these components.
How many days in Seoul should I budget for triple-device lifting at RE:BERRY?
2-3 days is sufficient at RE:BERRY Gangnam — Day 1 arrival + 60-90 minute physician consultation and VISIA mapping; Day 2 the 3-4 hour combined Thermage/Ultherapy/Sofwave session followed by LDM; Day 3 photo check and departure. 94% of RE:BERRY post-lifting patients fly home within 48 hours; mild erythema resolves by day 7 in 86% of cases.
Can I fly home the day after Thermage, Ultherapy, or Sofwave at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Yes — 94% of RE:BERRY Gangnam triple-device patients fly home within 24-48 hours with no in-flight issues. The aftercare kit (LDM-soothed barrier + SPF 50+ sunscreen + cooling sheet) is provided in carry-on size. Avoid alcohol and intense heat exposure for 72 hours.
How does RE:BERRY Gangnam compare to Seoul franchise chains for lifting?
3-4 lifting patients per physician daily at RE:BERRY Gangnam versus 20-30+ at chain factories — an 8x difference in time per patient. RE:BERRY Gangnam is the only Merz-certified Ultherapy Prime clinic in Seocho that combines Sofwave + Thermage FLX + Onda + Revinas under one physician roster. See Thermage FLX Gangnam.
What aftercare is included with the triple-device session at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Bundled into every triple-device session at RE:BERRY Gangnam: LDM 15-minute soothing immediately post-treatment, WhatsApp check-in at weeks 2/4/8/12/16/24, VISIA photo comparison reviewed personally by Dr. Ryu, and discount on follow-up Revinas or Onda touch-up if needed at weeks 16-24.
How long is the full triple-device session at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
3.5-4 hours total at RE:BERRY Gangnam: 30 minutes topical anesthetic + VISIA, 45 minutes Sofwave 1.5mm, 50 minutes Ultherapy Prime tri-depth, 60-70 minutes Thermage FLX 600 shots, 20 minutes LDM cooling. Single visit, single physician, single payment — no return trip required for the standard protocol.
Does Dr. Ryu personally calibrate transducer settings for Asian skin?
Yes — Dr. Ryu uses Asian-skin-specific energy ramps published in Park JY et al. (Med Lasers 2021) and the Suh DH 2011 protocol for HIFU. Settings are calibrated per zone (cheek, jowl, neck, brow) based on dermal thickness measured by ultrasound during the consultation, not a one-size template.
What if I only want one device — should I choose Ultherapy, Thermage, or Sofwave?
Ultherapy Prime 4.5mm wins for visible SMAS jowl lift in 4-12 weeks; Thermage FLX wins for volumetric all-layer contraction in patients with diffuse laxity; Sofwave wins for younger patients (under 40) needing mid-dermal collagen reinforcement. RE:BERRY’s recommendation is depth-driven, not budget-driven.
Does Thermage, Ultherapy, or Sofwave at RE:BERRY require anesthesia?
Topical lidocaine 30 minutes pre-procedure for all three at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Ultherapy patients may also receive ProNox (inhaled nitrous oxide) on request because the 4.5mm SMAS transducer hits the periosteum. No general anesthesia, no IV sedation, no fasting required.
Can I combine Thermage, Ultherapy, or Sofwave with injectables on the same day?
Yes — Botox is safe before any of the three (no thermal disturbance), and HA fillers can be placed 7-14 days after the energy device session at RE:BERRY Gangnam. PLLA boosters such as Juvelook are paired in the Premium Lifting Full Package.
How does RE:BERRY Gangnam compare to Korean university hospital lifting clinics?
at RE:BERRY Gangnam versus (064 USD) at Korean university hospitals for the same Thermage, Ultherapy Prime, or Sofwave session — university hospitals also require 3-4 week appointment lead time, 10-15 minute consults, and no bundled LDM aftercare. RE:BERRY Gangnam offers same-day screening and 60-90 minute consults.
What if my Thermage, Ultherapy, or Sofwave result is below expectation at week 12?
RE:BERRY Gangnam offers a week-12 in-person reassessment with Dr. Ryu; if VISIA shows under-response in any vector, a touch-up at 25-40% of the original price is offered for that device only. Maintenance intervals and combined-device protocols are adjusted based on the week-24 outcome.
Can men receive Thermage, Ultherapy, or Sofwave at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Yes — approximately 22% of RE:BERRY Gangnam lifting patients are male, primarily for jawline and submental tightening. Dr. Ryu uses higher Sofwave energy thresholds for male dermal density and increases Ultherapy 4.5mm lines along the masseter vector. Beard areas are skipped to avoid follicle stress.
Do I need to remove makeup for the triple-device session at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Yes — full makeup removal is performed at RE:BERRY Gangnam before VISIA mapping, then again before Thermage tip placement to ensure clean coupling. Re-application is fine 4 hours after Sofwave/Ultherapy and the next morning for Thermage. Tinted SPF 50+ is provided in the aftercare kit.
How does the RE:BERRY Signature Lifting Package compare to single-device pricing?
The Reberry Signature Lifting Package bundles Ultherapy 530 shots + Sofwave 200 shots + Onda 100kJ + Revinas 12,000 + LDM. Buying the same shot counts separately would total roughly — the bundle saves ~28% and uses a single-visit, single-physician protocol. See Sofwave vs Ultherapy.
