Sofwave in Myeongdong
Sofwave is an ultrasound lifting treatment that works at 1.5 mm, the middle of the dermis, where collagen is made. It suits fine lines, crepey texture and early laxity on the face and neck. At Val:U Clinic it costs KRW 990,000 and there is no downtime.

What it treats
Who Sofwave is for
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Early laxity on the face
- Neck and jawline firmness
- Skin texture
How it works
The science, simply
Sofwave sends parallel beams of ultrasound to a fixed depth of 1.5 mm while cooling the surface. This heats the dermis evenly, which contracts collagen and triggers new collagen and elastin.
Because it works in the dermis rather than the deep SMAS layer, Sofwave is chosen mainly for skin quality and fine lines.
