6 Major Types of Laser Treatments Available in Korea
A comprehensive overview of every laser treatment category offered at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, organized by skin concern.
Pigmentation Laser Treatments — Dark Spots, Melasma, Sun Damage
Pigmentation laser treatments use targeted wavelengths to break apart melanin deposits in the skin. PicoSure 755nm picosecond laser is the gold standard, shattering melanin via photomechanical effect with minimal thermal damage. For deeper melasma, low-fluence 1064nm laser toning delivers gradual clearance over 4-6 sessions. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Dual Toning Package at ₩259,000 combines PicoSure + Genesis for simultaneous pigment removal and skin calming. First-visit PicoSure toning starts at ₩159,000. These laser treatments achieve 60-75% pigmentation clearance in 3-5 sessions with zero downtime.
Lifting Laser Treatments — Sagging, Jawline, Double Chin
Non-surgical lifting laser treatments use focused energy to stimulate collagen deep in the skin. Sofwave SUPERB delivers 1.5mm-depth synchronous ultrasound to tighten the mid-dermis. Ultherapy Prime reaches the SMAS layer at 4.5mm — the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts. Onda Coolwaves address subdermal fat for jawline contouring. InMode FX and FORMA deliver bipolar RF for surface tightening. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, the Perfect V-Line Lifting starts at ₩399,000 (Inmode Forma + FX + Shurink 300 shots), while the premium Ultherapy + Sofwave combination is ₩1,950,000 for multi-depth lifting in a single session.
Acne & Inflammation Laser Treatments — Active Breakouts, Redness
Acne laser treatments target the three root causes of breakouts: bacteria, excess oil, and inflammation. Genesis 1064nm Nd:YAG heats the upper dermis to destroy P. acnes bacteria and shrink sebaceous glands by 30-40%. PicoSure addresses post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left by healed acne. For severe cases, the Acne All-Kill Package at ₩690,000 combines extraction, Potenza RF, exosome infusion, and Dermio Care LED therapy. V-beam laser targets vascular redness and broken capillaries. These laser treatments achieve 60-80% acne clearance in 3-5 sessions.
Scar & Pore Laser Treatments — Acne Scars, Texture, Enlarged Pores
Scar and pore laser treatments combine fractional resurfacing with radiofrequency energy to remodel damaged collagen. Potenza RF microneedling delivers bipolar RF through 49 insulated needles at precise 1.5-3.0mm depths, stimulating new collagen while creating microchannels for skin booster infusion. Pico Fraxel uses fractional picosecond energy for minimal-downtime resurfacing. The Pore All-Kill Package at ₩490,000 includes Aqua Peel + Potenza + Juvelook 2cc + regenerative laser. Subcision combined with Juvelook hand injection for deeper scars is ₩1,090,000 at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
What to Expect from Laser Treatments in Korea
- World-Leading Device Technology: Korea’s aesthetic clinics adopt new laser devices 6-12 months before other markets. RE:BERRY Myeongdong stocks 30+ of the latest FDA-cleared devices.
- Combination Protocol Expertise: Korean doctors pioneer multi-device laser treatment protocols that deliver 40-60% better results than single-device approaches common elsewhere.

- Asian Skin Expertise: Korean dermatologists have unmatched experience treating Fitzpatrick III-V skin types, minimizing pigmentation risks that less experienced providers may cause.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Mild redness subsides within 2-6 hours for most laser treatments. Lifting treatments show immediate skin tightening. |
| Week 1 | Pigmented spots darken and begin micro-crusting (normal shedding). Skin texture smoothing from toning lasers becomes noticeable. |
| Week 2-4 | Dark spots flake off. Collagen stimulation activates from RF and ultrasound devices. Second session recommended for multi-session protocols. |
| Month 1-3 | Peak lifting results from Sofwave and Ultherapy. 50-70% pigmentation clearance. Pore size measurably reduced. Most laser treatment goals achieved. |
| Month 3-6 | Full collagen remodeling complete. Skin elasticity and texture at their best. Maintenance schedule begins for sustained results. |
| Annually | 1-2 maintenance laser treatment sessions per year recommended to preserve results. Many international patients schedule annual visits to RE:BERRY Myeongdong. |

The Science Behind Modern Laser Treatments
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting the major categories of laser treatments offered at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Picosecond Laser Technology for Pigmentation
Picosecond laser treatments represent a paradigm shift from photothermal to photomechanical tissue interaction. By delivering energy in trillionths of a second, devices like PicoSure 755nm create pressure waves that fragment melanin into nano-particles small enough for lymphatic clearance — without the excessive heat that causes collateral tissue damage and rebound hyperpigmentation. A 2021 systematic review of 42 clinical studies confirmed picosecond laser treatments achieve superior pigment clearance with fewer sessions and lower complication rates compared to Q-switched nanosecond lasers, particularly in Asian skin types Fitzpatrick III-V.
Goo B et al. Picosecond lasers for pigmentary disorders: a systematic review. Lasers Med Sci. 2021;36(8):1599-1613. doi:10.1007/s10103-021-03285-0
Microfocused Ultrasound and RF for Non-Surgical Lifting
Non-surgical lifting laser treatments using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency energy have transformed facial rejuvenation. Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound to the SMAS layer at 4.5mm depth, creating thermal coagulation points that trigger neocollagenesis over 2-3 months. Sofwave SUPERB targets the mid-dermis at 1.5mm with synchronous parallel beam technology. A randomized controlled trial of 93 patients demonstrated that sequential application of both modalities produced statistically significant improvement in lower face and submental laxity (p<0.001), with 89% patient satisfaction at 6-month follow-up.

Fractional RF Microneedling for Scar Remodeling
Fractional RF microneedling laser treatments combine the controlled micro-injury of needle penetration with volumetric radiofrequency heating to remodel dermal collagen in atrophic acne scars and enlarged pores. The insulated needle tip design used in devices like Potenza ensures RF energy is deposited only at the needle tip depth (1.5-3.5mm), sparing the epidermis and dramatically reducing downtime compared to ablative fractional lasers. A 2020 meta-analysis of 18 RCTs involving 1,247 patients confirmed fractional RF microneedling achieves 51-75% improvement in acne scarring with significantly fewer adverse events than ablative fractional CO2 laser treatments.

The convergence of multiple energy-based technologies within single treatment sessions — what Korean clinics call ‘combination protocols’ — represents the frontier of laser treatments in Korea. By targeting different chromophores, tissue depths, and biological mechanisms in one visit, combination laser treatments maximize clinical efficacy while minimizing cumulative downtime.

What Patients Say About Laser Treatments at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I researched laser treatments in Korea for months before choosing RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Dr. Baek recommended PicoSure toning for my sun damage plus Sofwave for mild sagging. Both done in one visit, 90 minutes total. My skin has never looked this good at 42.”
“As a first-time visitor to Korean skin clinics, I was overwhelmed by options. The English-speaking coordinator at RE:BERRY explained every laser treatment option clearly and helped me choose the Pore All-Kill Package. Visible pore reduction within 2 weeks. Incredible value at ₩490,000.”
“I have tried laser treatments at clinics in Bangkok and Singapore. The multi-device approach at RE:BERRY Myeongdong is genuinely different — they used 3 devices in sequence for my acne and scarring. Results after 2 sessions exceeded what I got from 5 sessions elsewhere.”
