Sofwave delivers SUPERB synchronous ultrasound to about 1.5mm in the mid-dermis, so cost reflects how many areas you treat and how many parallel-beam passes your plan needs.
Sofwave cost at our Gangnam (Seoul) location depends on which areas you treat, such as the lower face, jawline, brow, or neck, and how many SUPERB ultrasound passes your plan needs. Because it is a single-session, area-based device treatment, Dr. Yoongon Ryu confirms your individual cost at consultation rather than a fixed figure.
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.

Sofwave cost in Gangnam, Seoul is shaped mainly by how much of your face and neck you want treated and how firm your goals are. Sofwave is a non-invasive lifting device that uses SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to deliver ultrasound energy to roughly 1.5mm in the mid-dermis, heating tissue to a collagen-remodeling threshold. A single treatment covers a defined set of zones, so a full lower-face-and-neck plan naturally costs more than treating the brow alone.
The second driver is the number of ultrasound passes and lines your provider places. Skin laxity, thickness, and how much lift you are seeking all influence how densely the applicator is worked across each zone, and denser coverage takes more time and consumables. Because Sofwave is usually a one-off session with results building over months, most patients budget for a single treatment rather than a long course.
At our Gangnam (Seoul) location, Sofwave is consultation-led: Dr. Yoongon Ryu assesses your skin laxity and priorities, then maps the areas and passes and explains the cost transparently in English. International patients are supported across our three Seoul-area locations (Gangnam, Myeongdong, Incheon Airport), so Sofwave can be planned around your travel dates.
Sofwave works by firing parallel ultrasound beams that concentrate heat in the mid-dermis at about 1.5mm, reaching roughly 65 to 70 degrees Celsius, the range where collagen contracts and remodeling is triggered. Unlike deeper SMAS-focused ultrasound, it targets a consistent mid-dermal depth, which is why coverage is measured in zones and passes rather than a single flat fee. A brow-only treatment uses far fewer lines than a lower-face, jawline, and neck plan, so the total scales with how many areas you address and how densely each is treated. Skin laxity and thickness also matter: laxer or thicker tissue may call for more passes to achieve a visible lift, which adds time and consumable cost. Because Sofwave is typically a single session with collagen building over 8 to 12 weeks, cost is usually quoted per treatment area rather than as a multi-visit course, and your final figure is set after Dr. Yoongon Ryu assesses your skin, not before.

Dr. Yoongon Ryu grades your skin laxity and thickness across the 4 possible zones, the main factor in how many ultrasound passes your plan needs.
A plan may cover 1 to 4 zones such as brow, lower face, jawline, and neck, and more zones mean a higher total.
Sofwave energy is delivered at about 1.5mm depth in lines across each zone; denser coverage on laxer skin adds time and consumable cost.
Most patients need just 1 Sofwave session, with collagen building over roughly 8 to 12 weeks, so cost is usually quoted per treatment rather than a course.
After assessment, the clinic gives you 1 transparent, individualised cost in English rather than a single fixed price for everyone.

Dr. Yoongon Ryu assesses your skin laxity and goals, then explains which zones your plan needs and what drives the cost, in English.
The single Sofwave session usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes depending on how many zones are treated.
Sofwave is typically 1 session, so cost is quoted per treatment rather than billed across multiple visits.
Some tightening is felt early, but the main lift builds over roughly 8 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms.
Results commonly last around a year or more; gentle skincare and sun protection help, and a maintenance session can be planned later.
Sofwave cost in Gangnam depends on how many zones you treat, such as brow, lower face, jawline, or neck, and how many ultrasound passes your plan needs. Because it is a single, area-based session, the clinic confirms your exact cost at consultation. You can start on our Sofwave page.
Sofwave cost varies because two patients rarely treat the same areas or need the same number of passes. A brow-only session costs differently from a full lower-face-and-neck plan. That is why the price is set after Dr. Yoongon Ryu assesses your skin laxity and maps your zones rather than from a one-size-fits-all menu.
The number of zones you treat is usually the biggest factor in your Sofwave cost. Treating the brow alone uses far fewer ultrasound lines than a lower-face, jawline, and neck plan. Your skin laxity, mapped at consultation, then influences how densely each zone is covered and how long the session runs.
Sofwave uses SUPERB synchronous parallel ultrasound beams to deliver energy about 1.5mm into the mid-dermis, heating tissue to roughly 65 to 70 degrees Celsius to trigger collagen remodeling. New collagen then tightens and lifts skin gradually. You can read more on our Sofwave page.
Most patients need just one Sofwave session, since results build from a single treatment over roughly 8 to 12 weeks as collagen forms. Some choose a maintenance session later. Because it is usually a one-off, cost is quoted per treatment rather than as a multi-visit course, which your provider confirms at consultation.
Sofwave is generally comfortable, with a brief warm sensation as each ultrasound line is placed, and numbing is used to keep you at ease. Comfort management is part of the session, not a separate charge. Your provider explains what to expect for each treated zone before you begin.
Sofwave usually has minimal downtime, with brief redness or mild swelling that typically settles within hours to a day. Most people return to normal activities the same day. This makes it convenient for international patients, and your provider gives aftercare guidance to protect the collagen-building phase.
Some tightening can be felt early, but the main lift from Sofwave builds over roughly 8 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms, not immediately after the session. Your provider reviews progress so you understand how results are developing relative to the single-session cost you invested.
Sofwave results commonly last around a year or more, though this varies with age, skin quality, and lifestyle, and it is not a one-time fix for ongoing ageing. A maintenance session can be planned later to sustain firmness, and this is factored into long-term cost planning at consultation.
Sofwave delivers ultrasound to the mid-dermis at about 1.5mm, while Ultherapy Prime reaches the deeper SMAS layer, so they suit different goals. Sofwave targets fine lines and milder laxity; deeper structural sagging may favour the SMAS approach. You can compare on our Ultherapy Prime page.
Yes, Sofwave is often combined with radiofrequency lifting, threads, or skin boosters, and combining changes the total but can be more efficient for your goals. A layered plan is mapped so treatments complement rather than duplicate each other. You might also consider our Thermage FLX page.
Most adults with mild to moderate skin laxity or early fine lines are suitable candidates for Sofwave. A consultation confirms whether the mid-dermal ultrasound approach fits your goals and budget. Very heavy or severe sagging may respond better to other options, which Dr. Yoongon Ryu will explain honestly upfront.
Sofwave is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared ultrasound device widely used for lifting, and it is generally well tolerated when a trained provider matches settings to your skin. Temporary redness or mild swelling can occur. A consultation reviews contraindications like pacemakers or treatment-area fillers before you proceed.
Sofwave works across skin tones because it uses ultrasound rather than light, so pigment is less of a concern than with some lasers. Your skin laxity and thickness, not colour, mainly affect the plan and its cost. Dr. Yoongon Ryu accounts for this at consultation so treatment is both safe and appropriate.
Aftercare is simple and inexpensive: gentle skincare, daily sunscreen, and avoiding harsh heat for a short time. Some patients add supportive products, which is optional. A skin care routine helps protect the collagen-building phase and is discussed transparently as part of planning.
Because Sofwave is a single low-downtime session, 1 to 2 days in Seoul is usually enough for a consultation and treatment. Many international patients fit it into a short trip. Our English-speaking team at the Gangnam location helps coordinate timing and cost around your travel plans.
Yes, flying within a day of Sofwave is generally fine, as it is non-invasive with minimal downtime. Cabin air is drying, so moisturise and protect treated skin from sun. Since the lift builds over weeks, most of your results develop after you have travelled home, and remote follow-up is available.
International patients can complete Sofwave in one visit, and because results develop over 8 to 12 weeks, the clinic offers remote check-ins in English so you can track your lift from home. You can also maintain results with a good skin care routine. Your treatment notes are kept on file for continuity.
