Where Can I Get HIFU Lifting in Myeongdong and What Are the Options?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers HIFU lifting with two FDA-cleared devices: Ultherapy Prime at ₩490,000 per 100 shots for deep SMAS lifting and Sofwave at ₩990,000 per 100 shots for dermal tightening (excl. VAT). The clinic is located at 5 Myeongdong 10-gil, Jung-gu — 2 minutes walk from Myeongdong Station Exit 8. Open 10 AM to 8 PM, 365 days a year, with walk-in availability and multilingual staff.
Myeongdong is one of Seoul’s densest concentrations of beauty clinics, but finding a HIFU provider with genuine, FDA-cleared devices and physician-performed treatments requires careful selection. RE:BERRY Myeongdong distinguishes itself with dual HIFU platforms — Ultherapy Prime for structural SMAS lifting and Sofwave for superficial dermal remodeling — both operated exclusively by Dr. Baek Seung-Jae (Head Director) and Dr. Son Hoon-Sung. The clinic’s Myeongdong location places it within walking distance of major hotels (Lotte Hotel, Ibis Styles, Nine Tree), Myeongdong Cathedral, Namdaemun Market, and dozens of duty-free shops. This convenience means you can book a HIFU session between shopping trips, walk out with zero downtime, and continue exploring Myeongdong immediately. International patients particularly appreciate the 8-language support (English, Japanese, Chinese Simplified and Traditional, Thai, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Farsi) and the 365-day schedule that accommodates any travel itinerary.

Your HIFU Lifting Experience at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
From walking in at Myeongdong Station to walking out with zero downtime — here is how your HIFU session unfolds.
Arrival & Consultation (10 min)
Exit Myeongdong Station at Exit 8, walk 2 minutes to RE:BERRY Myeongdong at 5 Myeongdong 10-gil. Our multilingual coordinator greets you and prepares your consultation file. Dr. Baek Seung-Jae assesses your skin thickness, tissue laxity, jawline definition, and aging patterns. He explains the differences between Ultherapy Prime (SMAS-depth lifting) and Sofwave (dermal tightening) and recommends the optimal device or combination for your goals. Walk-ins proceed directly; appointments are prioritized.
Preparation & Imaging (5 min)
Your face is cleansed and a conductive ultrasound gel is applied. For Ultherapy Prime, the doctor activates the DeepSEE visualization system — real-time ultrasound imaging that displays the tissue layers beneath your skin on a monitor. This allows Dr. Baek to confirm the exact depth of the SMAS layer and position the transducer with millimeter precision before each line of treatment. For Sofwave, the Sofcool temperature monitoring system is calibrated to protect your epidermis throughout the session.
HIFU Treatment (30-60 min)
Dr. Baek or Dr. Son delivers focused ultrasound energy in precise grid patterns across your treatment zones. Each pulse lasts approximately 1 second, creating a thermal coagulation point at the target depth. You feel brief warmth or tingling — strongest along the jawline where bone proximity amplifies the sensation (pain level 3-5/10 for Ultherapy, 1-3/10 for Sofwave). A full-face Ultherapy session uses 300-530 shots over 45-60 minutes. Sofwave full face requires 100-200 shots in 25-30 minutes. Combination protocols take 60-75 minutes. No anesthesia needed.
Aftercare & Return to Myeongdong (5 min)
Gel is removed, soothing serum applied, and SPF 50+ sunscreen provided. Total post-treatment time is under 5 minutes. There are no wounds, no bandages, no visible signs of treatment. Mild redness or warmth fades within 30-60 minutes. Walk out of RE:BERRY Myeongdong and into the bustling streets of Myeongdong — grab street food at Myeongdong Food Alley, browse cosmetics shops, or head to Namdaemun Market. Your collagen remodeling journey has begun.

The Science Behind HIFU Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Peer-reviewed research supporting the focused ultrasound technology used for HIFU lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Micro-Focused Ultrasound: Precision Energy for Tissue Lifting
Micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V), commercially known as Ultherapy, uses a curved transducer to focus ultrasound energy at a precise point within soft tissue. The acoustic focal zone measures approximately 1mm in width and 2mm in length, enabling sub-millimeter targeting accuracy. When focused at the SMAS layer (4.5mm), the concentrated acoustic energy raises local tissue temperature to 60-70 degrees Celsius, causing immediate collagen fiber denaturation and subsequent neocollagenesis through the wound healing cascade. Critically, the tissue between the transducer surface and the focal point experiences no thermal damage — the focused nature of the beam means energy density is below the damage threshold at all points except the focal zone. This selectivity is what allows HIFU to lift deep tissue while leaving the skin surface completely unharmed.
Histological Evidence: Collagen Remodeling After HIFU
Laubach et al. (2008) published histological analysis of skin biopsies taken before and after micro-focused ultrasound treatment, providing direct evidence of the tissue-level changes that produce clinical lifting. At 4.5mm depth, biopsies showed discrete thermal coagulation zones within the SMAS layer surrounded by normal uninjured tissue — confirming the precision of focal delivery. At 90 days post-treatment, biopsied tissue demonstrated significant increases in collagen type I and type III deposition, increased elastic fiber density, and thickening of the SMAS layer. These histological findings correlated with clinical lifting improvements measured by standardized photography analysis. The study established that HIFU-induced neocollagenesis is a genuine biological remodeling process, not merely tissue contraction, explaining why results continue to improve for 3-6 months after treatment.
Sofwave SUPERB Technology: Uniform Dermal Remodeling
Sofwave’s parallel-beam technology addresses a key limitation of traditional point-source HIFU — uneven energy distribution that can create inconsistent treatment results. The SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) transducer emits seven ultrasound beams simultaneously in a parallel configuration at 1.5mm depth, creating a continuous cylindrical zone of thermal injury rather than discrete points. Brobst et al. (2022) demonstrated in a split-face randomized controlled trial (n=67) that SUPERB-treated sides showed statistically significant improvement in Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Severity Score compared to untreated control sides at 12 weeks (p<0.001), with a mean 2.1-point improvement. Patient satisfaction was 91% on the treated side. The integrated Sofcool technology maintained epidermal temperature below 43 degrees Celsius in all subjects, with zero adverse events including no burns, no PIH, and no prolonged erythema.
Multi-Depth Combination: Evidence-Based Protocol Design
The scientific rationale for combining Ultherapy (4.5mm) and Sofwave (1.5mm) at RE:BERRY Myeongdong is grounded in the principle that facial aging affects multiple tissue layers simultaneously. SMAS laxity produces jowling and loss of jawline definition, while dermal collagen depletion causes fine lines and textural changes. Fabi et al. (2016) evaluated the safety and efficacy of combining MFU-V at multiple tissue depths in a single session and found that multi-depth protocols produced statistically superior GAIS (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale) scores compared to single-depth treatment at 180-day follow-up (4.2 vs 3.1, p<0.01). No increase in adverse events was observed with multi-depth combination. This evidence supports RE:BERRY Myeongdong's approach of offering combination HIFU packages — such as Ultherapy 200s + Sofwave 100s — that target both the SMAS and the dermis for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

What Patients Say About HIFU Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“My hotel was literally 3 minutes from RE:BERRY Myeongdong so I walked in on a whim. Got Ultherapy Prime 200 shots on my jawline. Dr. Baek showed me the ultrasound imaging of my SMAS layer in real-time — very reassuring to see exactly where the energy goes. At 3 months, my jaw looks like I lost 3kg. Amazing.”
“I compared 5 clinics in Myeongdong and chose RE:BERRY because they have both Ultherapy and Sofwave. Dr. Son recommended Sofwave for my forehead lines and Ultherapy for my jawline. The combo took about an hour. My skin at 2 months is the tightest it has been in 10 years.”
“As a frequent Myeongdong visitor, RE:BERRY has become my annual HIFU maintenance stop. The staff remembers me, Dr. Baek tracks my progress with photos, and the pricing is consistent year to year. HIFU maintenance once a year keeps my face 5 years younger than my age. Highly recommend.”
