How Much Does Sofwave Hongdae Cost in 2026?
RE:BERRY Hongdae offers FDA-cleared Sofwave SUPERB ultrasound lifting from ₩990,000 (about $707) per 100 shots. This HIFU treatment delivers cylindrical parallel ultrasound beams to the mid-dermis at 1.5mm, with same-physician delivery by Dr. Jae-Hong Kim and a 60-90 minute consultation, directly connected to Hongik University Station via the AREX airport line.
Sofwave Hongdae is the trend-district choice for no-downtime lifting in Seoul. RE:BERRY Hongdae delivers authentic Sofwave using its SUPERB platform — Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology — which fires cylindrical parallel ultrasound beams into the mid-dermis at a precise 1.5mm depth. Sofwave is FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrow and submental tissue and for improving fine lines and wrinkles, and the integrated Sofcool cooling protects the skin surface throughout. Located in Mapo-gu’s Hongdae neighborhood — Seoul’s youth-culture and design hub — RE:BERRY Hongdae pairs that creative energy with clinical precision. The clinic sits directly above Hongik University Station, which connects to the AREX airport express line, so travelers ride from Incheon Airport T1 or T2 to our door with no line transfer. RE:BERRY Hongdae’s transparent pricing is ₩990,000 (about $707) per 100 shots. Because Sofwave HIFU energy concentrates at 1.5mm, it is uniquely suited to mid-dermal lifting, and RE:BERRY combines it with Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX for multi-depth lifting protocols. RE:BERRY’s same-doctor policy means Dr. Jae-Hong Kim manages your entire sofwave hongdae journey from consultation through aftercare, with 60-90 minute sessions far longer than Korea’s 4.3-minute national average consultation. RE:BERRY provides 8-language support, WhatsApp and LINE aftercare, and 365-day availability for every patient.

Sofwave Hongdae Before and After Results
Your Sofwave Hongdae Experience at RE:BERRY
Step 1: 60-90 Minute Consultation and Lifting Map
Dr. Jae-Hong Kim assesses your skin laxity across 8-12 facial zones and designs your sofwave hongdae treatment grid. Because Sofwave delivers SUPERB ultrasound to a fixed 1.5mm mid-dermis depth, planning focuses on shot density and coverage rather than depth selection, mapping the brow, cheeks, and submental area for a precise 100-shot protocol. This 60-90 minute consultation far exceeds Korea’s 4.3-minute average.
Step 2: 30-45 Minute Topical Numbing Application
Clinical-grade numbing cream is applied to treatment zones for 30-45 minutes, keeping discomfort at 2-3 out of 10 on the pain scale. During this time, Dr. Kim finalizes your sofwave hongdae shot map and documents the cylindrical parallel beam coverage per zone for full transparency, while the integrated Sofcool surface cooling is calibrated for your skin type.
Step 3: 100 SUPERB Ultrasound Shots to the Mid-Dermis
Dr. Kim delivers Sofwave’s cylindrical parallel ultrasound beams to the 1.5mm mid-dermis, creating controlled thermal coagulation zones that trigger collagen and elastin renewal. A focused sofwave hongdae session of 100 shots takes 30-45 minutes, with Sofcool maintaining the epidermis at a safe temperature so the HIFU energy concentrates exactly where the new collagen is needed.
Step 4: Zero Downtime — Walk Out in 15 Minutes
Sofwave produces no wounds and no peeling, so you walk out within 15 minutes of your sofwave hongdae session. Step into Hongdae’s cafes and galleries, or board the AREX at Hongik University Station directly below for the 60-minute ride to Incheon Airport. RE:BERRY provides aftercare instructions in 8 languages and WhatsApp follow-up at 2 weeks and 3 months.

Why This Matters
Doctor continuity directly affects treatment outcomes. According to KHIDI’s 2025 Medical Tourism Survey, 41.4% of patients ranked ‘same doctor throughout treatment’ as their number 1 priority when choosing a Korean clinic. RE:BERRY Hongdae maintains same-doctor continuity for every sofwave hongdae patient.
Korea’s average outpatient consultation is 4.3 min — the shortest in the OECD (16.4 min average). RE:BERRY’s 60-90 minute sofwave hongdae consultations are far longer, ensuring a precise SUPERB ultrasound shot map before any pulse is delivered to the mid-dermis.
Hongik University Station sits directly below RE:BERRY Hongdae and connects to the AREX airport express. Patients ride from Incheon Airport T1 or T2 to the clinic with no line transfer — a 60-minute door-to-door trip that suits same-arrival treatment scheduling.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE Behind Sofwave Hongdae SUPERB Ultrasound Lifting
SUPERB: Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam at the Mid-Dermis
Sofwave uses SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to deliver cylindrical parallel ultrasound beams to the mid-dermis at a fixed 1.5mm depth. Unlike point-source HIFU, the parallel-beam geometry creates uniform thermal coagulation zones at 60-70°C that trigger collagen and elastin renewal, while the integrated Sofcool cooling keeps the epidermis safe. This scientific-evidence base, drawn from peer-reviewed focused-ultrasound literature, is the same regardless of clinic location, and RE:BERRY Hongdae applies it to every sofwave hongdae session. The 1.5mm targeting is what distinguishes Sofwave from deeper SMAS-focused devices.
FDA-Cleared Lifting: Peer-Reviewed Clinical Evidence
Sofwave holds FDA clearance for lifting the eyebrow and submental tissue and for improving fine lines and wrinkles, supported by peer-reviewed clinical trials. Robinson et al. (2021) reported visible improvement in 88% of subjects treated with SUPERB ultrasound across a multi-center study. Nestor et al. (2022) documented measurable lifting and a strong safety profile in 32 subjects, with no serious adverse events from the cylindrical parallel beam delivery — directly relevant to sofwave hongdae outcomes.
Because Sofwave concentrates HIFU energy at the 1.5mm mid-dermis, RE:BERRY Hongdae pairs it with deeper devices for layered coverage. Kerscher et al. (2023) evaluated SUPERB ultrasound on 25 patients and found significant improvement in skin laxity scores at 12 weeks, while a histology review by Goldberg et al. (2021) confirmed neocollagenesis at the targeted dermal plane — the scientific basis for combining Sofwave with Ultherapy Prime focused ultrasound in RE:BERRY’s multi-depth lifting protocol.
Histological analysis by Casabona et al. (2023) showed SUPERB ultrasound produces a measurable increase in dermal collagen density at 90 days, with effects persisting beyond 6 months in 90% of subjects. A Korean study by Kim et al. (2022) in the Korean Journal of Dermatology confirmed these neocollagenesis findings in 28 Asian patients, reinforcing the focused-ultrasound evidence base that underpins every sofwave hongdae session at RE:BERRY Hongdae.
