K-ClinicSofwave Korea Short Trip: Quick Lifting in Half a Day
According to Céramique Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Sofwave is ultrasound that works in the mid-dermis, with a short treatment time, suited to fine lines and firmness. If your trip is tight, tell the clinic you have half a day and want fine lines and firmness treated, and ask whether Sofwave suits you. Consultation and treatment can be done on the same day, and the clinic is open Monday to Friday 09:00–18:00 (lunch break 13:00–14:00). Listed prices were from a promotion that ended on September 30; confirm current quotes at your consultation.
My trip is tight. Can I still have lifting?
On a business trip, a layover or with only one free afternoon, the biggest worry is that the treatment will take a whole day.
At Céramique Clinic, consultation, examination and treatment are completed on the same day, so there is no separate return visit. In addition, the clinic describes Sofwave as having a "short treatment time", so if time is tight, add it to your list of questions.
Where Sofwave sits among the five devices
Céramique has five devices: Ulthera, Thermage, Titanium, Onda and Sofwave. The clinic describes Sofwave as ultrasound that works in the mid-dermis, with a short treatment time, suited to fine lines and firmness.
By comparison, Ulthera reaches the fascia layer and suits a sagging contour; Onda targets the fat layer; Thermage heats the dermis. If your concern is fine lines and firmness, you can start by asking about Sofwave; if you care more about sagging or local fat, other devices are available.
Whether it suits you is judged by Director Lee Jong-jin (이종진) based on your facial structure and examination.
How to plan a half-day slot
The clinic is open only Monday to Friday 09:00–18:00 (lunch break 13:00–14:00), closed Saturday and Sunday. So first match your free half day to a weekday:
For a morning slot, book after 09:00 and before lunch. For an afternoon slot, book after 14:00 and remember the clinic closes at 18:00.
You can arrive without makeup on the day, or remove it at the clinic; if you take blood thinners or similar medication, tell the clinic beforehand.
What to avoid in your plans afterwards
The clinic says that after most lifting and injectable treatments you can go about your day as normal; the actual situation depends on the treatment and your skin. Temporary redness or mild swelling may occur and usually fades quickly.
For a few days afterwards, avoid saunas, alcohol and strenuous exercise. So if you plan to go to a jjimjilbang, a drinking party or the gym on the same day, adjust your plans first.
Céramique is a stand-alone building with a one-person room and a VIP lounge, so when you are in a hurry you do not wait in a waiting area or meet other clients. The clinic is about a 2-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station, at 29 Bongeunsa-ro 2-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
How to ask about the price
The clinic has listed Sofwave 10 pulses and Sofwave 50 pulses with neck-line hyaluronic acid as promotion items, but the promotion ended on September 30, so no prices are quoted here. Tell us the area you want and your budget in the live chat, and we will confirm the current quote and number of pulses with the clinic.
