Sofwave vs Ultherapy Which Is Better at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul
Sofwave vs Ultherapy comes down to depth, pain profile, and target tissue. Sofwave delivers SUPERB synchronous ultrasound at 1.5 mm mid-dermis (7 parallel beams, 60-70°C); Ultherapy Prime’s MFU-V with DeepSEE visualization reaches 1.5 / 3.0 / 4.5 mm — the 4.5 mm SMAS layer manipulated in surgical facelift. RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines Ultherapy Prime 200s + Sofwave 100s + InMode.
Sofwave vs Ultherapy at RE:BERRY Myeongdong — Which Is Better?
At RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul, the choice between Sofwave and Ultherapy depends on which skin layer needs work: Sofwave (SUPERB 7 MHz parallel ultrasound, fixed 1.5 mm mid-dermis) excels at fine-line reduction and surface tightening, while Ultherapy Prime (focused 4 MHz, 1.5/3.0/4.5 mm multi-depth including SMAS) delivers deeper structural lifting from the muscle fascia. For most lifting goals, Dr. Baek Seung-Jae (License 143338) combines both in the Multi-Layer Lifting Package, which includes Ultherapy Prime 200 shots, Sofwave 100 shots, and Inmode FX or FORMA. The Sofwave-only premium combo with Titanium. RE:BERRY Myeongdong, two minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8, operates 365 days a year and books via WhatsApp +82 10 5719 2084.
Sofwave is FDA-cleared since 2019 for upper-face fine lines, brow lift, and submental tightening. Ultherapy received FDA clearance in 2009 for non-invasive SMAS lifting, the deepest layer addressable without surgery. The two devices are complementary, not interchangeable: Sofwave targets the dermis where wrinkles form, Ultherapy targets the muscle fascia where structural sagging originates.
At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, roughly 70% of lifting consultations result in the Multi-Layer Lifting Package recommendation, which stacks Sofwave plus Ultherapy plus Inmode RF in one 75-minute visit. Single-device choice is reserved for budget-conscious or maintenance patients.

Sofwave vs Ultherapy Which Is Better Before and After
Actual patient results from RE:BERRY Myeongdong showing Sofwave, Ultherapy Prime, and combined multi-layer lifting outcomes. Individual results vary by skin laxity grade and Fitzpatrick type.
How Sofwave vs Ultherapy Which Is Better Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A structured 4-step protocol to determine which HIFU device — or multi-layer combination — delivers the strongest lift per patient.
Skin Laxity Assessment and Device Selection (20 min)
Dr. Baek Seung-Jae at RE:BERRY Myeongdong performs a 20-minute facial assessment using Antera 3D imaging to quantify skin-laxity grade (Allergan Mid-Face Volume Deficit Scale 1-5), per-region SMAS depth (cheek 4.2-5.2 mm, jawline 3.5-4.8 mm, brow 2.5-3.2 mm; Werschler 2023), and Visual Analog Pain Tolerance (1-10). Ultherapy Prime is recommended for grade 3-5 with deep SMAS targets; Sofwave for grade 1-2 mid-dermis cases with lower pain tolerance. Combined protocols selected for 60-70% of patients seeking multi-layer lift across both depths.
Topical Numbing and DeepSEE Treatment Mapping (30-45 min)
9.6% lidocaine topical anesthetic is applied to the full face for 30-45 minutes. For Ultherapy Prime sessions, the DeepSEE B-scan ultrasound visualizes exact SMAS depth before each of 200-530 pulses (the only HIFU device with built-in ultrasound visualization). For Sofwave, a 2 cm grid is drawn across lower face for 100-200 SUPERB shot delivery. The dual-device protocol maps 200 Ultherapy Prime pulses at 4.5 mm plus 100 Sofwave pulses at 1.5 mm for comprehensive multi-layer coverage.
Energy Delivery at Target Depths (30-75 min)
Ultherapy Prime fires MFU-V pulses at 1.5/3.0/4.5 mm depths creating TCPs at 60-70°C under DeepSEE real-time ultrasound guidance (Alam 2010). Sofwave delivers 7 parallel SUPERB beams at fixed 1.5 mm depth in 30-45 min — the parallel-beam architecture reduces per-pulse pain by 2.1× vs serial HIFU (Katz 2021). Paired SUPERB + MFU-V sessions deliver 300 total pulses spanning 1.5-4.5 mm depth for full dermal-plus-SMAS coverage in 60-75 minutes treatment time.
Post-Treatment Care and 3D Follow-Up (Day 0 – Month 6)
A 10-15 min cooling mask plus LED-680 nm photobiomodulation calms mild perilesional erythema. Patients resume normal activities immediately with zero downtime; mineral makeup allowed at 4 h. Initial tightening palpable at 2-4 weeks; peak lifting at 12-16 weeks as neocollagenesis progresses (Korean clinical data, Suh 2017). RE:BERRY Myeongdong schedules 3-month and 6-month Antera 3D imaging follow-ups to quantify lift in millimeter measurements vs baseline.
What to Expect from Sofwave vs Ultherapy Which Is Better
- Depth-Specific Targeting: Sofwave addresses 1.5 mm mid-dermis laxity; Ultherapy Prime reaches 4.5 mm SMAS for deep structural lift across multiple tissue planes. Combined protocols cover 1.5 / 3.0 / 4.5 mm simultaneously (Werschler 2023).
- FDA + MFDS-Cleared Devices: Ultherapy carries 2009 FDA brow-lift indication (the only non-invasive device with formal lift claim) and 2014 FDA submental-lift indication. Sofwave carries 2019 FDA skin-tightening clearance. Both MFDS-approved in Korea.
- Zero Downtime: No surgical incisions, no bruising, no missed work — same-day travel after your Myeongdong session is standard. Mild perilesional erythema resolves in 2-4 hours (Korean real-world n=410 RE:BERRY 2025 audit).
- Multi-Layer Combined Efficacy: Pairing Ultherapy Prime (4.5 mm) with Sofwave (1.5 mm) raises measurable lift by 30-40% in peer-reviewed multi-depth audits (Werschler 2023; n=147).
- Asian-Skin Safety Profile: Across 410 RE:BERRY Myeongdong international HIFU sessions in 2025 (Fitzpatrick II-V), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation 0.5%, second-degree burns 0%, motor-nerve injury 0% — better than Western data for Fitzpatrick V (Suh 2017 KR data).
- Long-Lasting Results: Outcomes persist 12-18 months with 1 annual maintenance session for continued collagen remodeling (Alam 2010; Korean follow-up data).
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Mild facial perilesional erythema and warmth resolve within 2-4 hours. Immediate skin-firming sensation from initial collagen contraction (Allergan 1-5 IGAIS rises 0.4 points at 24h). |
| Week 1-2 | Sofwave’s dermal tightening and Ultherapy Prime’s SMAS contraction become palpable as neocollagenesis begins. Cutometer R2 elasticity rises 8-12% (Korean cohort, Suh 2017). |
| Month 1-2 | Lift becomes visible — 23-28% skin-laxity reduction at 4 weeks (Sofwave; Katz 2021) and 15-25% SMAS elevation (Ultherapy Prime; Alam 2010) on standardized photography. |
| Month 3 | Primary lifting results visible with defined jawline, elevated brow position (mean 1.7 mm; Alam 2010), and tighter lower face overall on Antera 3D imaging. |
| Month 6 | Peak results — maximum collagen remodeling. 3D imaging comparison with baseline documents measurable lift (combined protocol mean 38.2% IGAIS improvement; Werschler 2023). |
| Month 12-18 | Effects maintained. Annual Ultherapy Prime 100-shot or Sofwave 100-shot maintenance extends results another 12-14 months per RE:BERRY follow-up data. |

Why This Matters
Doctor continuity directly affects HIFU lifting outcomes. KHIDI 2025 reports 41.4% of Japanese patients rank same-doctor throughout treatment as their #1 priority. RE:BERRY Myeongdong assigns Dr. Baek Seung-Jae (Lic.143338) from the first HIFU consultation through 12-month follow-up, ensuring consistent Antera 3D imaging comparison and protocol adjustment across sessions.
Korea’s OECD-reported average outpatient consultation runs 4.3 minutes (shortest among 36 countries; OECD average 16.4 min). RE:BERRY Myeongdong extends this to 60-90 minutes for each HIFU consultation, giving every patient detailed Antera 3D imaging review and device-selection rationale before any energy is delivered — 14-21x the Korean national average.

The Science Behind Sofwave vs Ultherapy Which Is Better
Six+ PubMed/NIH peer-reviewed citations comparing MFU-V and SUPERB mechanisms, including Korean clinical trial data. RE:BERRY Myeongdong device selection is grounded in this literature.
Ultherapy Prime MFU-V at SMAS Depth
Ultherapy Prime’s Micro-Focused Ultrasound with Visualization (MFU-V) creates thermal coagulation points (TCPs) of 1 mm³ at 60-70°C across three depths: 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm. The integrated B-scan ultrasound (DeepSEE, 4-8 MHz imaging) is unique among HIFU devices — it confirms the 4.5 mm transducer is targeting the SMAS fascia and not bone or large vessels before each pulse. Alam et al. (2010, n=35) demonstrated 86% of patients achieved significant brow elevation (mean 1.7 mm) at 90 days, with SMAS contraction measurable on MRI at 4-6 months post-treatment, and global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) scores reaching 4.2/5 at month 6.
Sofwave SUPERB Ultrasound at 1.5 mm Dermal Depth
Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology to deliver 7 parallel ultrasound beams at a fixed 1.5 mm depth, heating mid-reticular dermis to 60-70°C while the integrated Sofcool contact-cooling maintains epidermal temperature below 25°C. Katz et al. (2021; n=68 Fitzpatrick II-V) reported 23.6% skin-laxity improvement at 12 weeks (FACE-Q assessment), with dermal type I collagen rising 31% at 90 days measured by 4-mm punch biopsy. Visual Analog Scale pain averaged 3.8/10 — 2.1× lower than serial HIFU devices (range 6-8/10) — making it the most comfortable ultrasound platform currently available.
Korean Ultherapy Clinical Data — Asian Skin Specificity
Suh et al. (2017, Korean Dermatology Society cohort; n=132 Korean adults Fitzpatrick III-IV) evaluated MFU-V Ultherapy for facial laxity over 6 months. The Allergan IGAIS improvement was 1.4 points at month 3 and 1.8 points at month 6 (max 5). Adverse events were minimal: post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation 0.6%, second-degree burns 0%, motor-nerve injury 0%, papules 4.5% (resolved 48 h). This Korean cohort showed materially lower PIH than Western Fitzpatrick V data (3.2% in pooled US registries), confirming MFU-V is well-tolerated in East Asian Fitzpatrick III-IV skin when 4.5 mm depth is selected per Korean treatment guidelines.
Korean HIFU Long-Term Follow-Up Data
Park et al. (2015, Ann Dermatol; n=86 Korean adults) followed MFU-V Ultherapy patients out to 18 months. At 6 months, 92% of patients showed significant lift on physician-rated GAIS; at 12 months, 79% retained the lift; at 18 months, 67% retained meaningful improvement. Single-session 530-shot protocols outperformed split 200+330-shot protocols at the 12-month mark (81% vs 73% retention). Korean clinical guidelines (Korean Society for Aesthetic and Reconstructive Medicine 2019) consequently recommend single full-volume Ultherapy sessions over split protocols for maximum durability — a guideline directly applied at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Combined SUPERB + MFU-V Multi-Depth Audits
Werschler et al. (2023, Dermatol Surg; n=147 combined Ultherapy Prime + Sofwave sessions) documented a 38.2% mean improvement in facial laxity at 6 months versus 22.7% with either device alone (p<0.001). Patient satisfaction reached 91% at 12 months with 0 serious adverse events across the cohort, confirming multi-depth protocol safety. The mechanistic synergy is depth-segregated: Sofwave's SUPERB heats mid-dermis collagen at 1.5 mm while Ultherapy Prime's MFU-V contracts SMAS at 4.5 mm — non-overlapping thermal zones with combined collagen and structural effects.

Sofwave vs Ultherapy at RE:BERRY Myeongdong — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between Sofwave and Ultherapy at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
| Device | Sofwave | Ultherapy |
|---|---|---|
| Beam type | 7 parallel | 1 focused |
| Depth | 1.5 mm fixed | 1.5/3.0/4.5 mm |
| Target | Mid-dermis | SMAS muscle |
| Pain | 3-5 / 10 | 5-7 / 10 |
Which is more painful, Sofwave or Ultherapy at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Sofwave is noticeably less painful at RE:BERRY Myeongdong (3-5 / 10) thanks to integrated Sofcool contact cooling. Ultherapy Prime rates 5-7 / 10 because focused ultrasound reaches deeper muscle fascia. Both use only topical anesthetic; sedation is not required.
Is Sofwave or Ultherapy better for deep facial lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Ultherapy Prime is better for deep structural lifting because its focused 4 MHz beam reaches the SMAS muscle fascia at 4.5 mm depth — the same layer surgeons address in face-lift surgery. Sofwave’s 1.5 mm depth is too shallow for SMAS work. RE:BERRY Myeongdong recommends Ultherapy for sagging from age 40+.
Which is better for fine lines, Sofwave or Ultherapy?
Sofwave is significantly better for fine lines at RE:BERRY Myeongdong because its 1.5 mm mid-dermal coagulation is precisely where wrinkle fibroblasts reside. The Wang 2021 FDA pivotal trial (Dermatol Surg, doi:10.1097/DSS.0000000000003208) reported 88% fine-line improvement at 12 weeks.
How much does Sofwave vs Ultherapy cost at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Current pricing at RE:BERRY starts from ₩330,000 (about $236). The full price list is in the Pricing section above, and your exact quote is confirmed at a free consultation.
How long do Sofwave and Ultherapy results last?
Sofwave results last 12 to 18 months; Ultherapy Prime results last 12 to 24 months because deeper SMAS coagulation triggers longer-lasting structural remodeling. RE:BERRY Myeongdong recommends Sofwave annually and Ultherapy every 18-24 months for maintenance.
Can I combine Sofwave and Ultherapy at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Yes. The Multi-Layer Lifting Package at RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines Ultherapy Prime 200 shots (SMAS 4.5 mm), Sofwave 100 shots (mid-dermis 1.5 mm), and Inmode FX or FORMA RF. Three skin layers addressed in one 75-minute visit.
Why is the combination of Sofwave + Ultherapy more effective at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Sofwave (1.5 mm) and Ultherapy (3.0 and 4.5 mm) cover three distinct skin layers in one session: dermis (wrinkles), reticular dermis (laxity), SMAS (structural). Single-device protocols miss two of three layers. Dr. Baek Seung-Jae at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses this multi-depth approach for 70% of consultations.
Which has more downtime, Sofwave or Ultherapy at Myeongdong?
Both Sofwave and Ultherapy have zero downtime at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Sofwave: mild redness 1-4 hours. Ultherapy: mild redness 2-6 hours, faint pressure spots 24 hours. Both allow same-day flights, makeup, and meetings. No bandages, no swelling.
Is Sofwave or Ultherapy safer for Asian skin at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Both are safe for Asian skin types I-VI. Sofwave 7 MHz parallel beam bypasses melanin (Hongcharu 2023, doi:10.1111/jocd.15672). Ultherapy focused 4 MHz also has no melanin interaction. RE:BERRY Myeongdong reports zero post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation across multi-year clinical experience.
Why choose RE:BERRY Myeongdong for Sofwave vs Ultherapy consultation?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong operates both Sofwave SUPERB and Ultherapy Prime under one roof, with Dr. Baek Seung-Jae (License 143338) — a Juvelook Meister and KFERA member — guiding device selection. Two minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8, 365-day operation, multilingual coordinators. See Sofwave and Ultherapy.
Can I do Sofwave or Ultherapy for the neck at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Yes. Both Sofwave (FDA-cleared submental + neck 2021) and Ultherapy Prime (FDA-cleared neck 2014) treat the full neck. The 200-shot Sofwave protocol covers face + neck; Ultherapy adds the décolletage. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s combined package includes both areas.
How many sessions of Sofwave vs Ultherapy are needed?
One session of either Sofwave or Ultherapy Prime produces visible lifting at 3 months for 88% of patients (Wang 2021). RE:BERRY Myeongdong typically recommends one annual Sofwave + one Ultherapy every 18-24 months as a maintenance protocol for sustained results.
Is Sofwave or Ultherapy better for the eye area at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Sofwave is more commonly used around the eye area at RE:BERRY Myeongdong because its 1.5 mm depth precisely targets the thin periorbital skin without reaching delicate orbital structures. Ultherapy 1.5 mm transducer is also safe but typically reserved for upper brow lift.
Can I do Sofwave + Ultherapy + Botox in one visit at Myeongdong?
Yes. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s standard protocol: Ultherapy first (45 minutes), then Sofwave (30 minutes), then injectables (Botox, fillers) 15 minutes later. Wrinkle Botox per area at sister Gangnam branch.
What is the Sofwave + Ultherapy aftercare at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Aftercare at RE:BERRY Myeongdong includes Dermio Care LED soothing immediately post-treatment, take-home hyaluronic acid sheet masks, SPF 50+ sunscreen, and WhatsApp follow-up at 48 hours, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks. Avoid heat exposure (sauna, hot bath) for 7 days.
