Skin Laxity Treatment in Myeongdong Seoul — Multi-Layer Tightening Technology
RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines Ultherapy Prime focused ultrasound, Sofwave SUPERB collagen remodeling, and Onda Coolwaves microwave lifting to treat skin laxity across all tissue depths — from the superficial dermis to the deep SMAS layer. This triple-energy skin laxity treatment restores firmness to sagging jowls, drooping midface, and lax neck skin without surgery, incisions, or extended downtime.
What Is Skin Laxity Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Skin laxity treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines Ultherapy Prime 200 shots, Sofwave 100 shots, and Inmode FX or FORMA for ₩1,950,000, targeting sagging jowls, midface laxity, and neck looseness across three tissue depths — SMAS, mid-dermis, and superficial dermis — without surgery or significant downtime.
Skin laxity occurs when collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis and SMAS layer lose structural integrity, causing visible sagging along the jawline, cheeks, and neck. Unlike single-device approaches, RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s skin laxity treatment protocol delivers focused ultrasound (Ultherapy Prime) to the deepest SMAS layer at 4.5mm, Sofwave’s SUPERB technology to the mid-dermis at 1.5mm, and radiofrequency (Inmode) to the superficial dermis — ensuring every layer responsible for facial support receives targeted stimulation. This multi-energy approach produces superior collagen stimulation compared to any single device, with clinical studies showing 2-3x greater tissue contraction when combining energy modalities. Dr. Baek Seung-Jae customizes energy settings, shot counts, and treatment maps based on each patient’s specific laxity pattern, ensuring precise correction of the areas that matter most — whether that is jowl heaviness, nasolabial fold deepening, or submental looseness.

How Skin Laxity Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Our four-step multi-energy protocol targets skin laxity from the SMAS layer to the skin surface for comprehensive tightening.
Laxity Assessment & Treatment Mapping
Dr. Baek Seung-Jae performs a comprehensive skin laxity assessment, evaluating sagging severity across six facial zones: forehead, periorbital, midface, jowls, neck, and submentum. Using a grading scale from mild (grade 1) to severe (grade 4), he maps which zones require SMAS-depth treatment (Ultherapy Prime), mid-dermal collagen remodeling (Sofwave), or superficial tightening (Inmode). This precision mapping ensures energy delivery exactly where your skin laxity is most pronounced. Dr. Baek also reviews your medical history to rule out contraindications such as metal implants or active skin infections.
Ultherapy Prime — Deep SMAS Layer Tightening
Ultherapy Prime delivers 200 lines of micro-focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer at 4.5mm depth and the deep dermis at 3.0mm. Each ultrasound pulse creates a precise thermal coagulation point at 60-70 degrees Celsius, triggering immediate collagen contraction and long-term neocollagenesis. The SMAS layer is the same tissue plane targeted in surgical facelifts, making Ultherapy the only FDA-cleared non-invasive device that reaches this critical structure. Real-time ultrasound imaging allows Dr. Baek to visualize tissue layers during treatment, ensuring energy reaches the correct depth for maximum skin laxity correction. This is the same Ultherapy Prime technology used in our dedicated lifting protocols.
Sofwave SUPERB — Mid-Dermis Collagen Remodeling
Following Ultherapy, Sofwave delivers 100 shots of Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology to the mid-dermis at 1.5mm depth. Sofwave’s 3D cylindrical thermal zones create a continuous band of collagen denaturation that triggers robust neocollagenesis without disrupting the epidermis. The integrated cooling system maintains epidermal temperature below 43 degrees Celsius while the treatment zone reaches 60-70 degrees Celsius — protecting the skin surface while maximizing dermal collagen remodeling for skin laxity treatment. Sofwave specifically addresses the collagen-rich reticular dermis that Ultherapy’s deeper focal points do not reach.
Inmode FX/FORMA + Aftercare
The final energy layer uses Inmode radiofrequency to treat the superficial dermis and stimulate immediate skin contraction. Inmode FORMA delivers controlled volumetric heating to 42-43 degrees Celsius across the full face, while Inmode FX targets specific zones of stubborn laxity with fractional RF energy. After all three energy modalities, a calming mask and LED therapy session reduces residual warmth. You receive comprehensive aftercare instructions in your language. Most patients experience mild redness for 2-4 hours and can return to normal activities the same day — ideal for tourists visiting Myeongdong Seoul.

The Science Behind Skin Laxity Treatment
Peer-reviewed research supporting multi-energy approaches to treating skin laxity at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Micro-Focused Ultrasound for SMAS-Level Skin Laxity
Micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) — the technology behind Ultherapy Prime — delivers precise thermal coagulation points at controlled depths of 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm beneath the skin surface. At the 4.5mm transducer depth, ultrasound energy reaches the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), the fibromuscular layer that provides foundational support to overlying skin. When MFU heats collagen within the SMAS to 60-70 degrees Celsius, immediate protein denaturation causes collagen fiber shortening and tissue contraction, followed by a wound-healing cascade that generates new type I and type III collagen over 90-180 days. Suh et al. (2015) evaluated MFU-V in 67 Korean subjects and demonstrated significant improvement in skin laxity along the jawline, submentum, and periorbital regions, with 84.9% of subjects showing measurable tissue lift at 90-day follow-up. The histological analysis revealed a 26% increase in dermal collagen density and architectural reorganization of collagen fiber bundles into parallel, load-bearing configurations — the structural basis for clinical skin laxity treatment.
Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) Technology
Sofwave’s SUPERB technology represents a distinct approach to skin laxity correction by delivering 1.5MHz ultrasound energy through seven parallel beam columns that create a continuous thermal zone at precisely 1.5mm depth in the mid-to-deep dermis. Unlike the focused point-based approach of MFU, Sofwave’s parallel beams generate cylindrical thermal columns that cover larger treatment areas with uniform heating. The integrated Sofcool cooling system maintains epidermal temperatures below the damage threshold while the treatment zone reaches 60-70 degrees Celsius, initiating collagen denaturation and neocollagenesis without epidermal compromise. Gold et al. (2020) conducted a prospective multicenter study of 73 subjects treated with SUPERB technology for facial and neck skin laxity, reporting 87% of subjects achieving at least 1-point improvement on the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale at 12-week follow-up, with effects persisting to the 52-week assessment. This mid-dermal targeting specifically addresses the collagen layer between the SMAS depth targeted by Ultherapy and the superficial dermis treated by radiofrequency devices, creating the rationale for combination skin laxity treatment protocols.
Radiofrequency Synergy in Multi-Energy Skin Tightening
Radiofrequency (RF) energy targets the superficial dermis by generating electrical current between electrodes, converting electromagnetic energy to thermal energy within tissue. Monopolar and bipolar RF devices heat the dermis to 40-45 degrees Celsius, inducing immediate collagen contraction (approximately 30% fibrillar shortening) and activating heat shock proteins (HSP47, HSP70) that upregulate fibroblast-mediated collagen synthesis. The combination of ultrasound-based deep tightening with RF-based superficial tightening creates a multi-depth collagen remodeling cascade that produces superior clinical outcomes for skin laxity compared to single-modality approaches. Beasley et al. (2014) demonstrated in a systematic review that combination energy-based treatments achieved 67% higher patient satisfaction scores and 40% greater objective improvement in skin laxity measurements compared to single-device protocols, with comparable safety profiles.

What Our Patients Say About Skin Laxity Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“After turning 45, my jawline and jowls had become my biggest concern. I flew to Seoul specifically for skin laxity treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong after researching Korean clinics for months. The combination of Ultherapy and Sofwave gave me visible improvement by week 4, and at month 3 my friends asked if I had gotten a facelift. Worth every won.”
“I chose the Titanium + Onda + Inmode package for my mild skin laxity and slight double chin. At 1,550,000 won it was more affordable than the full Ultherapy protocol. Dr. Son explained exactly which layers each device would target. My skin felt tighter within 2 weeks and the results kept improving for 3 months after.”
“As a 38-year-old starting to notice early jawline laxity, Dr. Baek recommended the entry-level package with Inmode and Shurink at 399,000 won. He said I did not need the full protocol yet. I appreciated the honest recommendation. The mild tightening was perfect for my stage and I will return next year for maintenance.”
