Sofwave is usually a single session of about 30 to 45 minutes with minimal downtime, making it a practical lift to fit into a short trip to Seoul.
Sofwave suits international patients because it is usually one session of about 30 to 45 minutes with minimal downtime, so you can fly home soon after. Reberry Clinic offers English-speaking support across three Seoul-area locations, including one near Incheon Airport, and supports your gradual 12-week results from abroad.
One-on-One guidance from a dedicated doctor, ensuring your skin is professionally monitored and treated from start to finish.
Fluent assistance in English, Japanese, and Chinese, making communication clear, respectful and comfortable for international patients.
Over 100,000 patients worldwide have received our personalized dermatological care, highlighting our expertise and reliable results.
Sofwave is well suited to a short visit because it is typically a single session of around 30 to 45 minutes with little downtime, so it fits between sightseeing or a business trip without a multi-day recovery. You are assessed and treated on the same visit, then the lift develops gradually over about 12 weeks after you have already flown home, which is convenient when you cannot stay in Korea for weeks.
The practical hurdles for foreigners are usually language and logistics rather than the treatment itself. Reberry Clinic addresses both with English-speaking support and three Seoul-area locations: Gangnam, Myeongdong and one near Incheon Airport, which is useful if you want a treatment close to your arrival or departure. Aftercare instructions are provided in English so you can look after your skin and follow up from your home country.
Reberry Clinic is a dermatology clinic and Sofwave is performed by the clinic’s doctors. Because Sofwave is one of several lifting options, the team will also explain when a different device may suit your goals, so your plan reflects your skin rather than a fixed package, and your time in Seoul is used efficiently.
Sofwave uses SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam): non-focused, high-frequency ultrasound delivered as 7 parallel beams that create cylindrical thermal zones in the mid-dermis at a depth of about 1.5 mm, heating tissue to roughly 60 to 70 degrees Celsius to stimulate new collagen and elastin over the following weeks. An integrated cooling tip protects the skin surface throughout, which is why the session is generally comfortable and downtime is minimal, an advantage when you are travelling. You can read more on the Sofwave treatment page.
For international patients, the appeal is that the lift builds over about 12 weeks after a single visit, so most of the benefit develops once you are back home. If you are comparing devices, the clinic can explain how Sofwave differs from micro-focused ultrasound so you choose what fits your goals and your trip.

On day 1 a doctor assesses your laxity and maps the zones across up to 4 areas: brow, lower face, submental and neck.
In a single session of about 30 to 45 minutes the doctor delivers the planned passes across the mid-dermis at roughly 1.5 mm.
With minimal downtime, most patients fly the same or next day, so 1 short trip is enough.
Over about 12 weeks the lift develops, and you follow your English aftercare plan with remote support.
See representative outcomes from Reberry Clinic. Results build gradually and vary by individual; your plan is assessed at consultation.
An English-language consultation assesses your laxity, maps target zones and produces a personalized plan and quote on the day.
After cleansing, the doctor delivers the planned passes; a full-face session commonly takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
Most patients have a single session, so it fits a short Seoul trip; any touch-up is discussed separately.
Some firming appears early, with the main lift building over about 12 weeks as collagen and elastin form after you return.
Results often last around a year; SPF, good skincare and a maintenance session help sustain them, with remote follow-up available.
Yes, Sofwave suits short trips because it is usually a single session of about 30 to 45 minutes with minimal downtime. You are assessed and treated on the same visit, then results build after you fly home. Reberry Clinic offers English support for Sofwave across three Seoul-area locations.
Yes, Reberry Clinic serves international patients with English-speaking support, so your consultation, treatment and aftercare are explained clearly in English. You can message the team before you arrive to plan your visit. Written aftercare is provided so you can follow your plan once you return home.
Because most patients have a single session, even a short trip works; the session itself usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes after assessment. There is no required multi-day course. The team helps schedule it around your itinerary, so a stay of a few days is typically enough for the visit.
Yes, most patients fly the same or next day, since downtime is minimal and any redness settles quickly. The main lift then develops gradually over about 12 weeks after you return. You receive a written aftercare plan so you can look after your Sofwave results from abroad.
Yes, Reberry Clinic has a location near Incheon Airport, which is convenient if you want a treatment close to arrival or departure. The other two locations are in Gangnam and Myeongdong in central Seoul. Your consultation helps you choose the most convenient site for your trip and schedule.
Most patients find Sofwave generally comfortable, feeling warmth during the passes, because an integrated cooling tip protects the skin surface throughout. Comfort can be adjusted to your tolerance. Your options are reviewed during the Sofwave consultation before any plan is finalized.
Downtime is minimal; mild redness or slight swelling can occur but usually settles within a few hours to a day, and most patients resume normal activities the same day. This makes it practical for travelers fitting it into a short Seoul trip without delaying onward travel or sightseeing.
Some firming shows early, but the main lift builds over about 12 weeks as new collagen and elastin form, with continued refinement after that. Most change appears after you fly home. The expected timeline for your face is mapped during the Sofwave assessment.
Results often last around twelve months, though this varies with age, skin laxity and lifestyle. A maintenance session and good skincare help sustain the effect. Because longevity varies, expectations are individualized during your consultation rather than promised as a fixed duration for everyone.
Most patients have a single session, which is ideal for travelers, with an optional touch-up later depending on goals and skin response. Stacking sessions is not usually needed. This is why one short trip is generally enough to complete the treatment after your assessment on arrival.
Sofwave commonly treats the brow, lower face, submental area and neck, and your doctor maps which zones suit your goals. Adding the neck or submental area increases coverage on top of a face plan. Your assessment confirms the zones so the plan and timing fit your trip and your skin.
Yes, because Sofwave cools the surface and delivers energy to the mid-dermis, it suits a wide range of skin tones, and an Asian-skin study supports its use. Even delivery by experienced doctors supports safety. Your suitability is confirmed during the assessment before any plan is finalized.
Sofwave delivers non-focused ultrasound to the mid-dermis at about 1.5 mm, while Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to the deeper SMAS layer. They suit different depths and goals. Compare Ultherapy Prime with the team to match the treatment to your face and trip.
Yes, Sofwave is often combined with skin boosters such as Rejuran Healer for complementary skin quality, with timing planned by your doctor. For a short trip, your consultation maps which order is realistic so your time in Seoul is used efficiently without rushing recovery.
