Laser Lifting in Gangnam Seoul at RE:BERRY Clinic
Gravity, collagen loss, and SMAS layer thinning cause visible facial sagging by your mid-30s — but surgery is not your only option. RE:BERRY Gangnam delivers multi-device laser lifting using Ultherapy Prime (SMAS-depth focused ultrasound), Thermage FLX (monopolar radiofrequency), Sofwave (SUPERB technology), Onda (Coolwaves microwave), and Revinas (high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy) to lift, contour, and tighten from the SMAS layer to the epidermis. Physician-performed laser lifting from ₩490,000 per session, two minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10.
What Is Laser Lifting at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Laser lifting at RE:BERRY Gangnam combines Ultherapy Prime (₩490,000/100 shots), Thermage FLX (₩1,990,000/600 shots), Sofwave, Onda, and Revinas to deliver SMAS-to-dermis non-surgical face lifting with 25-40% collagen increase, visible jaw and jowl tightening within 2-4 weeks, and results lasting 12-24 months.
At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu designs each laser lifting protocol based on a comprehensive assessment of tissue laxity, fat distribution, SMAS layer thickness, and the patient’s aesthetic goals. Unlike clinics that rely on a single device, RE:BERRY Gangnam offers the full spectrum of non-surgical lifting technologies — each targeting a different tissue depth and mechanism. Ultherapy Prime penetrates to the SMAS layer at 4.5mm for deep structural lifting. Thermage FLX delivers volumetric radiofrequency heating for collagen remodeling and skin tightening. Sofwave targets the mid-dermis at 1.5mm with SUPERB focused ultrasound for fine-line smoothing. Onda Coolwaves address subdermal fat and laxity with microwave technology. And Revinas electromagnetic energy stimulates muscle tone and collagen simultaneously. By combining 2-3 devices in a single session or across sequential visits, Dr. Ryu achieves laser lifting results that approach surgical outcomes — without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended downtime. All laser lifting treatments are performed exclusively by licensed physicians at our 14,000 sq ft Gangnam facility.

How Laser Lifting Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
A multi-device, multi-depth protocol targeting every layer of facial aging from skin surface to SMAS.
3D Facial Analysis & Laser Lifting Plan
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu performs a comprehensive facial assessment evaluating skin laxity grade, jowl prominence, nasolabial fold depth, submental fat volume, and SMAS layer condition. Using high-resolution imaging, he maps the treatment zones and selects the optimal device combination for your laser lifting protocol. For first-time patients, this assessment determines whether a single-device approach (Ultherapy Prime alone, Thermage FLX alone) or multi-device combination will deliver the best results. The consultation takes 15-20 minutes and is complimentary at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Deep Layer Treatment (SMAS / 3-4.5mm)
The laser lifting protocol begins at the deepest tissue plane. Ultherapy Prime delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy (MFU-V) directly to the SMAS layer at 4.5mm depth — the same muscular layer surgeons manipulate during traditional facelifts. Each ultrasound pulse creates a precise thermal coagulation point at 65-70 degrees Celsius, triggering an immediate tissue contraction response followed by progressive neocollagenesis over 3-6 months. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Ultherapy Prime is priced at ₩490,000 per 100 shots, with full-face protocols typically using 300-530 shots depending on treatment goals and the addition of neck or decolletage zones.
Mid-Layer Collagen Remodeling (1.5-3mm)
After deep-layer treatment, the mid-dermis is addressed with either Thermage FLX monopolar radiofrequency or Sofwave SUPERB focused ultrasound. Thermage FLX (₩1,990,000 for 600 shots) delivers volumetric RF energy that heats the entire dermal collagen matrix uniformly, causing immediate contraction of existing collagen fibers and stimulating new collagen production over 2-6 months. Sofwave (₩990,000 for 100 shots) uses parallel beam SUPERB technology at a precise 1.5mm depth to target the dermal-epidermal junction where fine lines and textural aging originate. Both devices include integrated cooling systems that protect the epidermis while maximizing energy delivery to the target zone during your laser lifting session.
Contouring & Recovery (Surface + Subdermal)
The laser lifting protocol concludes with contouring and recovery treatments. Onda Coolwaves (₩720,000 for 40kJ + Titanium 40kJ) use microwave energy at 2.45 GHz to selectively target water molecules in adipose tissue, reducing submental and jowl fat volume while tightening overlying skin. Revinas high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (₩1,790,000 for 6,000 shots + 1 Recovery Injection) stimulates facial muscle tone and collagen production simultaneously — addressing the muscular component of facial sagging that energy devices alone cannot reach. LDM ultrasound and Dermio Care aftercare complete the session, accelerating cellular recovery and reducing any transient swelling from the laser lifting procedure.
What to Expect from Laser Lifting at RE:BERRY Gangnam

The Science Behind Laser Lifting
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting multi-device non-surgical lifting protocols.
Micro-Focused Ultrasound for SMAS Layer Lifting
Micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V), the technology behind Ultherapy Prime, delivers focused acoustic energy to create discrete thermal coagulation points (TCPs) at precise depths of 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm. At the SMAS layer (4.5mm), each TCP reaches 60-70 degrees Celsius for approximately 1 second, causing immediate collagen denaturation and tissue contraction followed by a robust neocollagenesis response over 3-6 months. A pivotal randomized controlled trial by Fabi et al. (2015) demonstrated that MFU-V achieved a statistically significant brow lift of 1.7mm at 90 days in 63.6% of subjects, with improvements maintained at 180 days. This SMAS-depth laser lifting effect is the closest non-surgical equivalent to the deep-plane manipulation performed in traditional facelifts — without incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time.
Monopolar Radiofrequency for Volumetric Collagen Remodeling
Thermage FLX delivers monopolar radiofrequency energy that uniformly heats the full thickness of the dermis (up to 3mm depth) to 40-50 degrees Celsius. This sub-ablative thermal stimulus causes three sequential biological responses: immediate collagen fiber contraction (visible tightening on day 1), inflammatory-mediated fibroblast activation (weeks 2-8), and sustained neocollagenesis with 25-30% increase in dermal collagen density at 6 months (Zelickson et al., 2004). The Thermage FLX generation introduced AccuREP (Accurate Repetitive Pulsing) technology, which continuously monitors tissue impedance and adjusts energy delivery in real-time. This laser lifting approach produces the most uniform collagen remodeling of any single energy device, making Thermage FLX the gold standard for patients seeking overall skin tightening without surgical intervention.
Combination Protocols: Synergistic Multi-Device Laser Lifting
The scientific rationale for combining multiple lifting devices lies in the concept of multi-depth tissue targeting. A retrospective analysis by Suh et al. (2017) compared single-device HIFU versus combined HIFU + radiofrequency protocols and found that combination treatments achieved 40% greater improvement in skin laxity scores at 6 months compared to HIFU alone. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, the Signature Lifting Package combines Ultherapy (SMAS depth) + Sofwave (mid-dermis) + Onda (subdermal fat) + Revinas (muscle layer) to address all four tissue planes that contribute to facial aging: deep structural support (SMAS), dermal collagen (density and elasticity), subdermal fat (volume and distribution), and facial muscle (tone and contraction patterns). This comprehensive laser lifting approach produces results that clinical evaluators consistently rate closer to surgical outcomes than any single-device protocol.

What Our Patients Say About Laser Lifting
“I got the Signature Lifting Package at RE:BERRY Gangnam — Ultherapy, Sofwave, Onda, and Revinas all in one visit. The jawline definition after 6 weeks was incredible. My friends thought I had surgery. Dr. Ryu explained exactly which device targets which layer. Worth every won.”
“At 52, I was considering a facelift but decided to try laser lifting first. The Thermage FLX 600 shots plus Ultherapy combination at RE:BERRY Gangnam gave me results I did not think were possible without a scalpel. The nasolabial folds are visibly softer and my neck is tighter. Zero downtime.”
“I specifically chose RE:BERRY Gangnam because they have all five major lifting devices under one roof. The consultation was thorough — Dr. Oh recommended Sofwave for my fine lines and Onda for my double chin instead of doing everything. Honest advice and excellent results at half the price I was quoted in Hong Kong.”
