Body Sofwave delivers energy from 7 parallel ultrasound beams into the mid-dermis at about 1.5mm, stimulating collagen to firm crepey, lax skin on the décolletage, arms, and abdomen.
Body Sofwave in Myeongdong, Seoul is a non-surgical treatment that uses SUPERB synchronous ultrasound, firing 7 parallel beams into the mid-dermis at about 1.5mm to stimulate collagen and firm crepey, lax skin on areas like the décolletage, upper arms, and abdomen. Results build gradually over roughly 12 weeks, with minimal downtime.

Body Sofwave is a non-surgical skin-firming treatment that applies Sofwave’s ultrasound technology to areas below the face. It uses SUPERB synchronous ultrasound to fire 7 parallel beams into the mid-dermis at roughly 1.5mm, heating small controlled zones that trigger collagen remodeling. On the body, this targets crepey texture and mild-to-moderate laxity on zones such as the décolletage, upper arms, knees, and abdomen.
Answer-first, it firms and smooths skin rather than removing fat or contouring volume. Because it works in the mid-dermis with an integrated cooling plate protecting the surface, downtime is usually minimal and most patients return to normal activities the same day. Results are gradual, building over about 12 weeks as new collagen forms, so it suits people wanting steady, natural-looking improvement rather than an instant change.
At Reberry Clinic’s Myeongdong (Seoul) location, body Sofwave is consultation-led. Dr. Seung Jae Baek, Medical Director, assesses the area and your skin laxity, then explains the plan and cost transparently in English. Myeongdong Station is about 5 minutes away, making it convenient for international patients in central Seoul.
Body Sofwave relies on the same SUPERB synchronous ultrasound engine used on the face, adapted to larger surface areas. Each pulse delivers energy from 7 parallel transducers held in direct contact with the skin, creating cylindrical thermal zones in the mid-dermis where temperatures reach roughly 60 to 70°C. That controlled heat denatures a fraction of existing collagen and prompts the body’s repair response, driving neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis over the following weeks. An integrated cooling plate keeps the epidermis protected throughout, which is why the surface stays comfortable while the deeper 1.5mm layer is heated. On the body, the clinician moves across the treatment zone pulse by pulse to cover crepey or lax areas evenly, so coverage is planned to the size and shape of each region. Because Sofwave firms the mid-dermis rather than reaching deep fat or the SMAS, it is best matched to skin quality and mild-to-moderate laxity, and it can be combined with other body treatments when contour or fat is also a concern.

The doctor grades laxity and maps the body zone, whether a compact area like the décolletage or a larger surface across 2 or more regions.
The skin is cleansed and the applicator’s cooling plate protects the surface while energy targets the mid-dermis at about 1.5mm.
Each pulse fires 7 parallel beams, heating the mid-dermis to roughly 60 to 70°C to create controlled thermal zones.
The clinician moves pulse by pulse across the area for even coverage, which is why treatment time scales with the size of the region.
New collagen and elastin form over about 12 weeks, gradually firming and smoothing the treated skin.

At our Myeongdong (Seoul) location, Dr. Seung Jae Baek grades the area’s laxity and explains whether body Sofwave suits your goals, in English.
A body session usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area, with surface cooling for comfort throughout.
Most areas need a single session per cycle, though your doctor confirms coverage and any short series based on your assessment.
Firming builds over about 12 weeks as new collagen forms, and your doctor reviews progress to plan any follow-up.
Results are not a one-time fix; effects can last many months, and periodic maintenance plus sun protection help sustain them.
Body Sofwave is a non-surgical treatment that uses SUPERB synchronous ultrasound, firing 7 parallel beams into the mid-dermis at about 1.5mm to firm crepey, lax skin on the body. It targets skin quality, not fat. You can read the overview on our Sofwave page.
Body Sofwave is commonly used on the décolletage, upper arms, knees, abdomen, and above-the-knee skin for crepey texture and mild-to-moderate laxity. Suitability and coverage are confirmed at consultation. You can compare related options on our body rejuvenation page.
Body Sofwave is provided at our Myeongdong (Seoul) location at 5, Myeongdong 10-gil, Jung-gu, about 5 minutes from Myeongdong Station. Dr. Seung Jae Baek, Medical Director, leads assessments in English, which is convenient for international patients staying in central Seoul.
No, body Sofwave firms and smooths skin rather than removing fat or reducing volume. It works in the mid-dermis at about 1.5mm to stimulate collagen. If fat or contour is your concern, your doctor may suggest a different or combined approach, such as body rejuvenation options.
Most patients tolerate body Sofwave well, feeling brief warmth or tingling, because surface cooling protects the skin while the mid-dermis is heated at about 1.5mm. Comfort varies by area and individual sensitivity, and your doctor adjusts the approach and explains what to expect before treatment begins.
Body Sofwave typically involves minimal downtime, with brief redness or mild swelling that usually settles within hours to a day. Most people resume normal activities the same day. Your clinic explains aftercare, including sun protection, so recovery over a larger body area stays smooth and predictable.
Body Sofwave results build gradually over about 12 weeks as new collagen forms, with many patients noticing early firming within a few weeks. It is not an instant change. Your doctor reviews progress at follow-up, and you can read more on our Sofwave page.
Body Sofwave results commonly last many months, though it is not a one-time fix because skin keeps aging naturally. Longevity depends on the area, your skin, and lifestyle. Many patients schedule periodic maintenance and use sun protection, which a doctor will discuss transparently at consultation.
Many patients need only a single body session per area, reviewed at follow-up, while more advanced laxity may benefit from a short series. The number depends on the zone and how your skin responds. A doctor-led assessment sets this, so coverage and expectations are tailored to you.
Body Sofwave heats the mid-dermis at about 1.5mm, body HIFU like Ultherapy Prime reaches deeper layers, and RF body tightening heats broadly. A good clinic matches the device to which layer your laxity sits in and your goals.
Yes, body Sofwave is often combined with treatments targeting fat or contour, since it focuses on firming skin rather than reducing volume. A clinic that plans combinations thoughtfully tailors care to your body. Your doctor sequences treatments so the skin is not over-stressed and explains the plan clearly.
Body Sofwave side effects are usually mild and short-lived, such as temporary redness, slight swelling, or tenderness that resolves quickly. Serious reactions are uncommon when a trained doctor sets appropriate coverage. A reputable clinic reviews your history and explains possible effects honestly rather than claiming there are none.
Most adults with mild-to-moderate body laxity or crepey skin are suitable, while significant loose skin from major weight loss may suit other options. A consultation grades your skin and confirms coverage. Your doctor at Myeongdong will explain candidacy and realistic expectations before any body treatment begins.
Body Sofwave aftercare is simple: daily sunscreen on exposed areas, gentle skincare, and avoiding excessive heat or intense exercise for a day or so. There are usually no strict restrictions. Pairing it with a consistent skin care routine helps your results build well over the weeks.
For body Sofwave, 1 to 2 days in Seoul is usually comfortable, allowing a consultation, the session, and a short review. Because downtime is minimal, many international patients treat it during a short stay. Our English-speaking team at Myeongdong helps coordinate timing around your travel plans.
Yes, flying within a day of body Sofwave is generally fine, since the treatment is non-invasive with minimal downtime. Cabin air is drying, so moisturise and protect treated skin from sun. Your doctor at Myeongdong gives personalised travel and aftercare advice based on the area treated.
