Focused ultrasound treatment, approved in Korea for brow lifting — downtime varies by person.
CoolSoniq is a focused ultrasound (HIFU) system made by Asterasys, a Korean manufacturer. It delivers ultrasound energy through applicators with focal depths of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mm (the manufacturer's specification) to coagulate tissue. In Korea it is approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) as a focused ultrasound stimulator system whose approved purpose is brow lifting.
Performed in Gangnam, Seoul, each session is planned by your doctor for your case; downtime varies by person.
Uses other than brow lifting are outside the approved purpose · at the doctor's discretion.
CoolSoniq focuses ultrasound energy at a point to coagulate tissue. Its applicators have focal depths of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mm, and your doctor chooses the depth and the number of shots for each area.
According to the manufacturer, CoolSoniq's applicator uses Active Conduction Cooling (ACC) technology, in which a patented micro refrigeration module conducts heat away to cool the skin surface during focused ultrasound delivery.
Your doctor decides whether the treatment can go ahead.

At DayBeau Gangnam, CoolSoniq is never one-size-fits-all. Our doctors evaluate your skin and treatment areas before setting the focal depth and the number of shots.

They are the focal depths of the CoolSoniq applicators — how far below the skin surface the ultrasound energy is focused. Your doctor chooses the depth and the number of shots for each area.
Pain level varies depending on the device, energy intensity, treatment area, and your individual sensitivity. Topical numbing is applied under The Comfort Code when needed. DayBeau adjusts energy intensity and application method based on your skin condition and comfort throughout the session.
Many can return to daily life right away, though this varies by person. Temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, or sensitivity may occur. The degree varies depending on the device combination and individual skin response.
Change, if any, appears gradually and varies by person. Your doctor explains what to expect for your case at the Doctor's Treatment Design.
The number of shots and sessions is set by your doctor, based on your skin condition and goals. Repeat treatment may be needed, and how long the effect lasts varies by person.
Some conditions mean the treatment may not be suitable — for example, pregnancy or breastfeeding, a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, filler or a metal implant in the treatment area, a wound, infection, or active skin inflammation in the area, a bleeding disorder, a malignant tumor, or a tendency to form keloids. The details differ by device, so please tell us your full medical history before treatment; your doctor decides whether the treatment can go ahead. After treatment, avoid excessive heat (sauna, hot baths), alcohol, strong physical stimulation, and sun exposure for about one week. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided following your session.
Yes. Depending on your skin condition, lifting devices can be combined with skin boosters, collagen boosters, or Rejuran in the same plan. This allows elasticity, skin texture, and hydration to be addressed together. The order and interval between treatments depend on the treatment area and the combination, and your doctor decides them. CoolSoniq is not performed over an area where filler has been injected.
Your care doesn't stop at the airport. We provide aftercare guidance in your language via your preferred channel — WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat, or KakaoTalk — with follow-up check-ins and video consultations if needed.
Yes — our interpreters are in-house, not on the phone. English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, and Thai speakers are part of the clinic team, so your consultation, treatment day, and aftercare all happen in your language. Let us know your preferred language when you book.
Often, yes. Same-day treatment is possible for many procedures when your schedule is limited, subject to your Personal Consultant Session and the Doctor's Treatment Design. Share your travel dates when you first contact us and we can usually confirm in advance whether what you are considering fits the time you have in Gangnam.
Flight timing depends on the type of treatment and how your recovery is going. Tell us your departure date before you book, and your doctor will set the treatment order and the interval before your flight. Please share your flight details during your Personal Consultant Session so aftercare can be planned around your departure.
