Sofwave alternative in Busan
Boom Dermatology does not use Sofwave. For the goals patients bring to it, a non-invasive ultrasound lift of the brow, jawline and neck with little downtime, we use Ultherapy Prime for the imaging-guided deep lift and Shurink for an affordable first session or maintenance. Here is how they compare and what they cost.

Straight answer
Do you have Sofwave in Busan?
No. Sofwave
(SUPERB) delivers synchronous ultrasound in parallel beams to a fixed 1.5 mm depth in the mid-dermis, in a thirty-to-forty-five-minute session, usually once a year. It is a good device for mild laxity in the skin layer. We chose not to carry it because the two ultrasound devices we run cover its range and more: Ultherapy Prime
reaches the SMAS at 4.5 mm with real-time imaging, which Sofwave cannot, and Shurink Universe
treats the same depths as Sofwave and deeper at a tenth of the price. For the skin layer alone, which is what Sofwave is for, radiofrequency ( Oligio, XERF) is often the better tool.

Choose
Which Sofwave alternative is right for you?
Pick the goal you had in mind for Sofwave and the doctor confirms the device at a free consultation. The consultation at our Seomyeon skin clinic is free when you proceed.
Sofwave treats only 1.5 mm. Ultherapy and Shurink treat 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm, so the doctor can choose the layer.
No imaging
Ultherapy Prime shows the layer on screen before each line; Sofwave fires blind.
Price for the layer
For skin-layer firmness, RF does the job without the Sofwave price; for a lift, Ultherapy does what Sofwave cannot.

Questions, answered properly
Will the result be the same as Sofwave?
For a brow, jawline or neck lift, stronger, because Ultherapy and Shurink reach the SMAS and Sofwave stops at 1.5 mm. For mild skin-layer firmness, comparable, and usually achieved with RF rather than ultrasound at our Seomyeon skin clinic. Sofwave's advantage is comfort; Shurink Universe is close on that, Ultherapy is not.
Sofwave was recommended to me because it is less painful. Is there a gentle option here?
Yes: Shurink Universe for ultrasound, or Oligio and XERF for radiofrequency, all two to four out of ten with numbing. Fotona Titanium and Eve Titan are gentler still. The doctor will match the device to your tolerance as well as to your face.
Is it worth going to Seoul for Sofwave?
If you want that device by name, Seoul has it. If you want the outcome, a Shurink or Ultherapy session in Busan treats the same depth and deeper, with the line count on your record, for less.
