Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu’s Core Treatment Specializations
Key areas of expertise that define Dr. Ryu’s practice at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Non-Surgical Facial Lifting (Ultherapy, Sofwave, Thermage)
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu specializes in multi-device lifting protocols that combine Ultherapy Prime’s deep SMAS-layer targeting, Sofwave’s mid-dermal collagen remodeling, and Thermage FLX’s radiofrequency skin tightening. This layered approach addresses all depths of the face simultaneously, producing natural lifting results that evolve over 3-6 months. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Ryu customizes shot counts and energy levels based on facial anatomy analysis, achieving optimal results without the frozen or overdone appearance common with single-device approaches. RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers identical multi-device lifting under Dr. Baek Seung-Jae’s supervision, using the same Ultherapy Prime protocol with personalized shot distribution. Both physicians follow RE:BERRY’s unified lifting philosophy that prioritizes natural results over dramatic transformation.
Advanced Dermal Filler Artistry
Dr. Ryu’s filler practice at RE:BERRY Gangnam encompasses full-face volumization, nasolabial fold correction, chin projection, and temple restoration using premium hyaluronic acid fillers from Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero product lines. His technique emphasizes structural support over superficial filling, creating a natural rejuvenated appearance rather than a filled look. The multi-layer injection approach deposits filler at supraperiosteal, deep dermal, and subcutaneous levels for different volumization effects. At Myeongdong, Dr. Baek offers the same filler brands and technique philosophy. Patients can also explore Botox & Filler treatments at either location with transparent pricing and detailed consultation before any procedure.
Skin Quality Enhancement & Regeneration
Beyond structural treatments, Dr. Ryu integrates skin quality protocols including Rejuran Healer, Juvelook skin boosters, and Potenza RF microneedling to address texture, pore size, scarring, and overall skin luminosity. This comprehensive approach ensures that lifting and volumization occur within the context of optimized skin quality, producing results that look healthy rather than merely tightened. Regenerative treatments stimulate the skin’s own collagen and elastin production, creating sustainable improvements that compound over serial sessions.
International Patient Protocols
Both Dr. Ryu at Gangnam and the physicians at Myeongdong maintain specialized protocols for international patients who may only be in Seoul for a limited time. Treatments are planned to maximize results within the patient’s travel schedule, with accelerated protocols that safely combine multiple modalities in a single visit. Post-treatment follow-up is available via WhatsApp and email in 8 languages, ensuring continuity of care after patients return home. RE:BERRY’s multilingual coordinators facilitate seamless communication throughout the treatment journey at both branches.

The Science Behind Multi-Modality Facial Rejuvenation
Evidence-based approach to non-surgical facial treatment combining multiple energy-based and injectable technologies.
Multi-Depth Tissue Remodeling: The Foundation of Modern Non-Surgical Lifting
The face ages in layers — superficial skin changes, mid-dermal collagen loss, deep SMAS laxity, and bone resorption all contribute to the visible signs of aging. Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu’s approach at RE:BERRY Gangnam, and the equivalent protocols at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, address all these layers simultaneously through multi-device treatment planning. Ultherapy Prime delivers focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer at 4.5mm depth, creating precise thermal coagulation points that trigger neocollagenesis in the foundational support layer of the face. Sofwave’s Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology (SUPERB) targets the mid-dermal layer at 1.5mm, stimulating collagen type I and III remodeling without affecting the SMAS. Thermage FLX’s radiofrequency energy heats the full thickness of the dermis, causing immediate collagen contraction followed by progressive neocollagenesis over 3-6 months.
Injectable Precision: Volumization vs Superficial Filling
Modern filler technique has evolved beyond simple wrinkle filling to structural facial rejuvenation. The multi-layer injection approach that both Dr. Ryu and Dr. Baek employ deposits hyaluronic acid at different tissue planes for different effects: supraperiosteal injection for skeletal support and projection, deep dermal injection for volume replacement, and superficial injection for fine line correction. This anatomically-informed approach produces results that appear natural because it addresses the actual structural changes of aging rather than merely masking them. Peer-reviewed literature from Cotofana et al. (2019) in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology demonstrated that understanding facial fat compartment anatomy is essential for safe, effective filler placement — a principle central to RE:BERRY’s injection training standards.
Regenerative Medicine Integration
The frontier of aesthetic medicine lies in regenerative approaches that stimulate the skin’s own repair mechanisms. Skin boosters like Rejuran Healer (polynucleotide-based) and Juvelook (polylactic acid + HA) work by activating fibroblasts and promoting endogenous collagen synthesis rather than simply adding exogenous material. When combined with energy-based devices that create controlled micro-damage, these regenerative agents accelerate and enhance the healing response. Kim et al. (2020) published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment demonstrated that combination protocols using energy devices with polynucleotide injections produced significantly superior outcomes compared to either modality alone.
