What Is Sofwave and How Does It Work?
Sofwave is an FDA-cleared SUPERB ultrasound device that delivers parallel beam energy at 1.5mm depth to stimulate collagen and elastin renewal, lifting skin without surgery or downtime. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul, Sofwave treatment starts from ₩990,000 for 100 shots with results visible within 2-4 weeks and peaking at 3-4 months.
Sofwave represents the latest evolution in non-surgical ultrasound lifting technology. Developed by Sofwave Medical Ltd., the device earned FDA clearance for lifting the eyebrow, submental tissue, and neck through its proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology. What distinguishes Sofwave from earlier HIFU platforms is its precision — seven parallel ultrasound beams create a broad, volumetric heating zone exclusively at 1.5mm depth, the mid-dermal layer where collagen and elastin fibers are densest. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Aesthetic Medicine Specialist Dr. Seung-Jae Baek has performed over 3,000 Sofwave procedures, frequently combining the device with Onda microwave lifting for deeper tissue remodeling and Revinas for targeted jawline sculpting. The integrated SofCool system maintains epidermal temperatures below 45 degrees Celsius, making Sofwave one of the most comfortable energy-based lifting treatments available in Korea.
How Sofwave Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
From consultation to collagen renewal — your complete Sofwave treatment pathway at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Personalized Consultation & Treatment Mapping
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek evaluates your skin laxity, dermal thickness, and aesthetic goals during a thorough consultation. Your face is mapped into treatment zones — jawline, mid-face, periorbital, forehead, and neck — with shot allocation determined for each area. For international patients, pre-consultation is available via WhatsApp, LINE, or WeChat. The Sofwave treatment protocol is finalized, typically 100-200 shots for full-face coverage, with any complementary treatments scheduled for the same session.
Skin Preparation & Ultrasound Gel Application
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed. A coupling gel is applied to ensure optimal ultrasound transmission between the Sofwave handpiece and skin surface. Thanks to the SofCool integrated cooling, topical anesthesia is typically unnecessary — only 10% of patients at RE:BERRY Myeongdong request numbing for Sofwave. The preparation phase takes approximately 5 minutes, with the treatment area divided into marked grid zones for systematic coverage.
SUPERB Energy Delivery — Parallel Beam Treatment
The Sofwave handpiece delivers seven simultaneous ultrasound beams per activation, creating a wide treatment column at exactly 1.5mm depth. Each pulse generates controlled thermal coagulation zones at 60-70 degrees Celsius within the mid-dermis, where fibroblasts responsible for collagen production are concentrated. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek systematically covers each mapped zone, adjusting energy parameters for thinner periorbital skin versus thicker jawline tissue. A 100-shot Sofwave session takes 30-35 minutes; 200 shots require 45-55 minutes.
Immediate Post-Treatment & Collagen Activation
Immediately after Sofwave treatment, the coupling gel is removed and a soothing moisturizer applied. You may notice mild warmth and faint redness that resolves within 30-60 minutes. Behind the scenes, the thermal stimulus has activated heat shock proteins HSP47 and HSP70, initiating the fibroblast signaling cascade that produces new type I and type III collagen over the coming months. You receive aftercare instructions in your language and can immediately return to normal activities — dining, shopping, and exploring Myeongdong.

Sofwave Clinical Evidence — Mechanism, Efficacy, and Safety
Peer-reviewed research supporting Sofwave SUPERB technology for non-surgical skin lifting and collagen renewal.
SUPERB Technology — How Parallel Beam Ultrasound Stimulates Collagen
Sofwave’s core innovation lies in generating seven parallel cylindrical ultrasound beams that simultaneously heat a volumetric zone at 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis. This depth was chosen based on histological data showing that the highest density of fibroblasts and collagen-producing cells reside at 1.0-2.0mm below the skin surface. When tissue temperature reaches 60-70 degrees Celsius, partial collagen denaturation occurs, triggering an immediate wound healing response followed by months of progressive neocollagenesis. The parallel beam architecture creates a uniform treatment zone approximately 6mm wide per shot, eliminating the untreated gaps between focal points that characterize single-beam HIFU devices.
Histological Evidence of Collagen Remodeling
Biopsy studies following Sofwave treatment reveal a predictable sequence of tissue changes. At 2 weeks post-treatment, increased fibroblast proliferation and early type III collagen deposition are observed. By 8-12 weeks, mature type I collagen fibers replace the initially deposited type III collagen, creating a denser and more organized dermal matrix. Quantitative assessment using high-frequency ultrasound (22MHz) demonstrates a mean dermal thickness increase of 15-22% at 12 weeks post-treatment. This structural reinforcement translates to clinically visible lifting, firmness, and texture improvement that persists for 12-18 months.
Comparative Efficacy — Sofwave vs Traditional HIFU Platforms
A randomized comparative study evaluating Sofwave against focused ultrasound devices found comparable lifting outcomes at 12 weeks, with significantly lower pain scores (VAS 2.3 vs 5.7, p<0.001) and reduced post-treatment edema duration (0.5 hours vs 24-72 hours). The parallel beam approach treats a larger tissue volume per activation, achieving full-face coverage in fewer total shots. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, this translates to shorter treatment sessions for Sofwave — 30-45 minutes versus 60-90 minutes for comparable Ultherapy treatments. The reduced discomfort profile also eliminates the need for oral analgesics or nerve blocks that some clinics administer before traditional HIFU.
Safety Profile Across Skin Types
Sofwave’s integrated SofCool technology is critical to its safety profile. Seven independent thermocouples monitor epidermal temperature in real time, corresponding to each of the seven ultrasound beams. If any sensor detects temperature exceeding the safety threshold, the system automatically adjusts energy output. This closed-loop feedback system at RE:BERRY Myeongdong ensures consistent epidermal protection regardless of patient skin type, skin thickness, or treatment area. Across published clinical data encompassing over 3,000 treatments, zero cases of burns, scarring, or permanent adverse events have been reported with Sofwave.
