ANTIAN · Lifting · Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, Korea · Sofwave
Sofwave is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that targets the dermis rather than removing fat. It is used to address facial lines and selected skin-laxity concerns, including the brow, beneath the chin and the neck. [1] At ANTIAN Clinic in Cheongdam, the starting point is identifying whether your concern is skin laxity, volume change or a combination—not choosing a package by its p count alone.

Synchronous parallel-beam ultrasound for mid-dermal tightening.
These photographs were provided by the clinic operator. Lighting, camera angles and treatment combinations may differ. Confirmed original capture times are shown with the photographs. Results vary; photographs do not guarantee an outcome.
Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology, also called SUPERB. Ultrasound creates controlled thermal zones in the mid-dermis, with the thermal effect centered at approximately 1.5 mm. Integrated cooling helps protect the skin surface during energy delivery. The intended tissue response includes collagen remodeling; this mechanism does not guarantee a visible lift in every patient. [1] [3]
This dermal target is different from treating deeper structural layers or reducing submental fat. US FDA clearance includes improvement of facial lines and wrinkles and lifting of the brow and lax submental and neck tissue in adults aged 22 and older. That US clearance does not establish Korean authorization for every application. Confirm the locally applicable indication for your proposed treatment. [1]
An assessment should distinguish loose skin from fat-related fullness and loss of facial volume. If your main concern is a double chin, ask which tissue is responsible before deciding on ultrasound tightening. Sofwave is not a weight-loss treatment, and the cited ultrasound indications do not establish a fat-reduction effect. [1]
Ask whether a dermal treatment matches your goal, or whether deeper-targeted energy treatment, a separate volume-focused approach or a surgical assessment would be more appropriate. These are different choices, not interchangeable upgrades. Discuss the degree of change that is realistic without surgery and whether treating skin laxity alone would leave your main concern unresolved.
Bring a medication list and details of previous fillers, threads, implants and energy treatments, including their locations and dates. Disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding, active skin disease and healing problems. Open wounds, severe or cystic acne in the intended area, and pacemakers or electronic implants in the treated area are listed contraindications. Treatment directly over dermal filler is not recommended in the safety information. Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own. [2]
Before proceeding, confirm the intended area, applicator, proposed p count, settings and pain-management options. Heat and discomfort can occur; topical anesthetic may be considered, but preparation time is not fixed. [2] [3] Ask how to signal discomfort during treatment and how the plan may be adjusted. The quoted p option should follow the agreed treatment map, not substitute for one.
If travelling, share your departure date and important events before booking. Ask how much time to allow for assessment and preparation, when results will be reviewed, and how to contact the clinic after leaving Korea. Request written guidance about skincare, sun protection, makeup, exercise and further procedures. Do not assume a same-day appointment or a symptom-free recovery will suit a tightly scheduled trip.
Possible adverse effects include significant pain, tenderness, bruising, pigment changes, persistent redness or swelling, and skin ulceration or erosion. Cooling does not remove these risks, and there is no universal safe downtime. [2] Contact the clinic promptly for worsening pain, blistering, broken skin or persistent changes; if you are already abroad, arrange local medical assessment when needed rather than waiting to return.
The listed options are Sofwave 50p — Regular price ₩800,000 (VAT ₩80,000; Total incl. VAT ₩880,000) → Event price ₩700,000 (VAT ₩70,000; Total incl. VAT ₩770,000), Sofwave 100p — Regular price ₩1,500,000 (VAT ₩150,000; Total incl. VAT ₩1,650,000) → Event price ₩1,350,000 (VAT ₩135,000; Total incl. VAT ₩1,485,000) and Sofwave 200p — Regular price ₩2,800,000 (VAT ₩280,000; Total incl. VAT ₩3,080,000) → Event price ₩2,450,000 (VAT ₩245,000; Total incl. VAT ₩2,695,000). Ask what p counts in the proposed plan and which areas are included. A higher count does not automatically mean a better result or define a fixed face or jawline package.
Published treatment information includes assessments at three months, but this is not a guaranteed onset or final-result deadline. [3] Agree on a review point and criteria for considering another session. Repeat treatment should depend on the indication, response and medical assessment—not an automatic maintenance schedule.
No. The cited clearance concerns lifting lax tissue beneath the chin, not eliminating fat. [1] Ask whether skin laxity, fat or both explain the contour you want to change; that distinction determines whether Sofwave addresses your main goal.
