How Does Non-Surgical Mid-Face Lifting Work in Myeongdong Seoul?
Non-surgical mid-face lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines Ultherapy Prime HIFU at 3.0-4.5mm SMAS depth with Sofwave SUPERB collagen stimulation to lift sagging cheek tissue and smooth nasolabial folds by 1-2 grades, achieving 2-3mm measurable lift over 8-12 weeks with packages starting from ₩399,000.
Mid-face lifting in Myeongdong Seoul addresses one of the most visible signs of facial aging: the descent of malar fat pads and deepening of nasolabial folds that occur as collagen and elastin fibers weaken in the cheek region between ages 30 and 50. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, non-surgical mid-face lifting uses a multi-energy approach that targets all three structural layers responsible for cheek support. Ultherapy Prime delivers micro-focused ultrasound at 4.5mm depth to create thermal coagulation points in the SMAS layer, the same fascial plane that surgical facelifts tighten. Sofwave SUPERB targets the mid-dermis at 1.5mm with parallel beam technology to stimulate new collagen and elastin production throughout the cheek region. For patients with significant volume loss, Onda CoolWaves microwave technology tightens deeper fascial layers while Revinas micro-focused ultrasound delivers 3,000-6,000 shots to the nasolabial fold and jowl area for precision lifting. Head Director Seung-Jae Baek customizes each mid-face lifting protocol based on the degree of ptosis, skin laxity score, and the patient’s desired outcome, combining 2-4 energy devices in a single session that takes 60-90 minutes.

How Mid-Face Lifting Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A 4-step protocol combining multiple energy devices for comprehensive non-surgical cheek lifting and nasolabial fold correction.
Mid-Face Assessment & Device Selection
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek evaluates your mid-face structure by assessing malar fat pad position, nasolabial fold depth (grade 1-4 on the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale), cheek skin laxity, and jowl formation. Using standardized photo documentation and manual palpation, he determines which combination of energy devices will produce the optimal mid-face lifting result. Mild laxity may need only the Inmode Forma + FX + Shurink package at ₩399,000, while moderate-to-severe mid-face descent requires the Ultherapy Prime + Sofwave combination at ₩1,950,000. The consultation takes 15-20 minutes in your preferred language.
Skin Preparation & Mapping
The treatment area is cleansed and the mid-face is marked with a grid pattern indicating the specific zones where each energy device will be applied. For Ultherapy Prime, ultrasound gel is applied to enable real-time visualization of tissue layers. The SMAS layer, typically at 4.5mm depth in the cheek region, is identified on the ultrasound screen so that HIFU energy can be targeted precisely. For patients receiving multiple devices, the treatment map ensures complete coverage with no gaps or overlapping zones between the Ultherapy, Sofwave, and Onda applications.
Multi-Device Mid-Face Lifting Protocol
The mid-face lifting treatment proceeds in a specific sequence optimized for maximum collagen stimulation. Ultherapy Prime fires first at 4.5mm and 3.0mm depths, creating 100-200 thermal coagulation points in the SMAS and deep dermis of the cheek and nasolabial fold region. Each point heats tissue to 60-70 degrees Celsius, triggering an immediate contraction and a long-term neocollagenesis response. Sofwave follows with 200-300 shots of SUPERB parallel beam technology at 1.5mm, targeting the mid-dermis for collagen and elastin production across the entire mid-face. For comprehensive packages, Onda CoolWaves at 80-120kJ tightens the fascial layer while Inmode FX delivers fractionated RF for surface skin tightening. Total treatment time is 60-90 minutes depending on the package selected. Most patients rate discomfort at 3-5 out of 10.
Post-Treatment Recovery & Collagen Activation
A cooling mask is applied for 10-15 minutes to reduce post-treatment warmth and mild swelling. Unlike surgical mid-face lifts that require 2-4 weeks of recovery, non-surgical mid-face lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong has minimal downtime: mild redness subsides within 2-4 hours, and any swelling resolves in 1-3 days. Your aftercare coordinator provides written instructions in your language explaining that collagen production peaks at 8-12 weeks post-treatment and continues for up to 6 months. For patients who received Revinas shots in the nasolabial fold area, slight tenderness may persist for 24-48 hours. SPF 50 daily application is recommended during the collagen remodeling period.
What to Expect from Mid-Face Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
- SMAS-Level Tightening Without Surgery: Ultherapy Prime HIFU reaches the same fascial layer that surgical facelifts target, producing 2-3mm measurable lift over 8-12 weeks.
- Multi-Depth Collagen Stimulation: Combining 4.5mm HIFU, 1.5mm Sofwave, and surface RF ensures collagen production across all mid-face tissue layers simultaneously.
- Nasolabial Fold Reduction: Precision Revinas shots along the nasolabial crease produce targeted collagen density increases that visibly soften fold depth by 1-2 grades.
- Zero Downtime Procedure: Return to normal activities immediately. No incisions, no anesthesia, no compression garments. Mild redness fades within hours.
- Long-Lasting Results: New collagen matures over 3-6 months and maintains mid-face lifting results for 12-18 months before maintenance is recommended.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Mild warmth and slight swelling in the treatment area. Some patients notice an immediate subtle tightening from tissue contraction. |
| Week 1-2 | Initial swelling resolves completely. Skin may feel firmer to the touch as the inflammatory collagen cascade begins. |
| Month 1 | Early collagen formation begins lifting the mid-face. Nasolabial folds appear slightly softer. Skin texture improves. |
| Month 2-3 | Peak collagen production. 2-3mm measurable lift in the cheek region. Nasolabial fold depth reduced by 1-2 grades. |
| Month 4-6 | Collagen maturation completes. Maximum mid-face lifting results visible. Jawline appears more defined. |
| Month 12-18 | Results maintained with continued collagen support. Maintenance session recommended annually to sustain the mid-face lift. |

The Science Behind Mid-Face Lifting
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting non-surgical mid-face lifting protocols used at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Micro-Focused Ultrasound for Mid-Face Rejuvenation
Micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V), marketed as Ultherapy, delivers focused acoustic energy to create discrete thermal coagulation points (TCPs) at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm tissue depths. At the 4.5mm SMAS depth critical for mid-face lifting, each TCP heats tissue to 60-70 degrees Celsius over a 1mm zone, causing immediate collagen contraction and subsequent neocollagenesis over 90-180 days. Prospective clinical studies demonstrate 2-3mm objective lift of the mid-face and nasolabial fold region at 90 days post-treatment, with patient satisfaction rates exceeding 80%.
Suh DH et al. Intense focused ultrasound tightening in Asian skin: clinical and pathologic results. Dermatol Surg. 2011;37(11):1595-1602. doi:10.1111/j.1524-4725.2011.02094.x
Sofwave SUPERB Technology for Dermal Collagen
Sofwave SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology delivers focused ultrasound energy at 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis where type I and type III collagen fibers provide structural support. Unlike MFU-V which creates discrete TCPs, Sofwave generates a continuous thermal zone that uniformly heats the entire treatment area to 60-70 degrees Celsius while an integrated cooling system protects the epidermis. This mid-dermal thermal stimulation produces significant collagen and elastin increases measurable by ultrasound imaging, with histological studies confirming 30-40% new collagen density at 12 weeks post-treatment.

Combination Energy Devices for Enhanced Mid-Face Lifting
The combination of multiple energy modalities targeting different tissue depths represents the current evidence-based approach to non-surgical mid-face lifting. Studies comparing single-device versus multi-device protocols show that combining HIFU (SMAS layer), focused ultrasound (mid-dermis), and radiofrequency (superficial dermis) produces synergistic collagen production 40-60% greater than any individual device alone. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, the mid-face lifting protocol leverages this multi-depth approach: Ultherapy Prime for the 4.5mm SMAS layer, Sofwave for the 1.5mm mid-dermis, and Onda CoolWaves or Inmode RF for the superficial dermis and subdermal fat layer.
Fabi SG et al. Retrospective evaluation of micro-focused ultrasound for lifting and tightening the face and neck. Dermatol Surg. 2014;40(5):569-575. doi:10.1111/dsu.12479
Long-term follow-up data from combination mid-face lifting protocols demonstrate sustained improvements at 12-18 months, with patient-reported satisfaction remaining above 75% at the one-year mark. The progressive nature of collagen remodeling means that peak results appear 3-6 months after treatment, significantly later than the immediate but temporary results of dermal fillers for mid-face volume restoration.

What Patients Say About Mid-Face Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“My nasolabial folds were my biggest insecurity. After the Ultherapy + Sofwave package, they softened by about 60% over 3 months. Friends kept asking if I’d had surgery. The zero-downtime was perfect for my work schedule.”
“At 47, my cheeks had started sagging noticeably. Dr. Baek recommended the Titanium + Onda combination for my skin type. The results built gradually — by month 3, my jawline was visibly tighter and my cheeks looked lifted back to where they were 5 years ago.”
“I came for the V-Line Firming Package as a trial before committing to a bigger treatment. Even at ₩399,000, I noticed real improvement in my lower cheek area. Planning to return for the full Ultherapy package next trip.”
