Quick answer
What Is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a non-invasive ultrasound device that uses SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology. Seven parallel beams heat the mid-dermis at a depth of about 1.5 mm – where collagen sits – while an integrated cooling system protects the skin surface.
Unlike HIFU devices that place energy in deeper layers such as the SMAS, Sofwave concentrates on the dermis itself. That makes it well suited to fine lines, crepey texture and mild laxity, and it can be used on areas such as the forehead and around the mouth as well as the jawline and neck.
Because the energy is spread across parallel beams with active cooling, many people find Sofwave relatively comfortable for an ultrasound treatment. For deeper structural lift, the doctor may suggest pairing it with Titanium or Onda.

FAQ
Sofwave in Seoul – Frequently Asked Questions
How much is Sofwave in Gangnam, Seoul?
At Doje Clinic, the cost of Sofwave depends on the areas treated and the bespoke plan designed at your 1:1 consultation with Dr. Byun Je-ik, so prices are confirmed after the doctor's assessment. Message us on WhatsApp for an initial guide.
Is Sofwave HIFU?
Sofwave is an ultrasound treatment, but it is not classic HIFU. Sofwave uses SUPERB technology – parallel beams that heat the mid-dermis at about 1.5 mm with built-in cooling – rather than focused points in deeper layers.
Does Sofwave hurt?
Sofwave usually feels like short bursts of warmth. The integrated cooling helps, and numbing cream can be applied for extra comfort.
How many Sofwave sessions do I need?
Many people see improvement after one Sofwave session, with results building over 1–3 months. The doctor may suggest a repeat session or maintenance depending on your skin.
Sofwave or Ultherapy: which is better for me?
Sofwave focuses on the dermis for lines, texture and mild laxity, while Ultherapy Prime reaches deeper layers for structural lifting. The doctor can recommend one or a combination after examining your face.
Can I get Sofwave on a short trip to Seoul?
Yes. Sofwave usually has no real downtime, so you can sightsee the same day and fly home soon after. The main improvement appears once you are home.
Do the doctors speak English?
Yes. English consultations are available, and booking is on WhatsApp at +82 10-6535-2110.
