Body Thermage in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul — what is on the list and what is not

Dear Clinic publishes two Thermage FLX lines, and both are tips for the face and the eye area. There is no body tip on the list, so there is no body Thermage rate to quote, and this page says that before it says anything else.

The short answer

Does Dear Clinic run Thermage on body areas?

No. The Thermage FLX list here holds two lines: a 600-shot tip for the face at ₩1,900,000 (≈ $1,355) and a 450-shot Eye tip at ₩2,200,000 (≈ $1,570). No body tip is stocked and none is priced, so an abdomen or an arm is answered with a different platform.

Thermage FLX is monopolar radiofrequency from Solta Medical. It heats the deep dermis to tighten skin and refine surface texture, and it is a different job from lifting a deeper layer. That description holds wherever the tip is applied; what decides the scope of this page is which tips Dear Clinic actually stocks.

Searches for body Thermage in Gangnam land here often enough that a straight answer is more useful than a page built around a treatment the price list does not contain. The treatment that is on the list is documented on the Thermage FLX page, and the platforms are sorted by depth on the lifting and tightening hub.

The two Thermage tips Dear Clinic stocks and quotes

Two consumables, two shot counts, two protocols. The list holds no third line.

Rates as published in September 2026. The two tips carry the same figure by intention, because each is a single sealed consumable with its own protocol and its own chair time. Everything the clinic publishes sits on the full price list.

Why the list stops there

Why no body Thermage rate is quoted in Cheongdam

A Thermage price is attached to a physical object. The tip arrives sealed from its factory with a fixed number of shots inside it, it cannot be half-used, and it cannot be refilled. That is why the face line and the eye line are two separate figures instead of one treatment billed by the hour.

It is also why a body figure cannot simply be estimated. A rate for a consumable that is not in the cabinet would be a number invented for a web page, and it would collapse the moment you asked for it at the desk. The clinic quotes what it stocks.

There is a second reason, and it is about matching the platform to the problem. Monopolar radiofrequency of this kind is aimed at dermal tightening and surface texture. Where a body zone is asking about soft fullness underneath as much as about the skin over it, a device built for subcutaneous work answers more of the question. Sending that case to a facial tip because the brand name is familiar would be a poor trade.

Each tip is unsealed after the reading and never before it, which is the same reason an unstocked tip is never priced in advance.
What is offered

What Dear Clinic uses when the body is the question

The body platform on this list is Onda body contouring. It runs on Coolwaves microwaves at 2.45 GHz through a dedicated body handpiece and is sold in kilojoule units, which is a different mechanism and a different layer from a dermal radiofrequency tip. If you arrived searching for body Thermage, that page is almost certainly the one you wanted.

The wider body menu, including injectable options and the programmes built around them, is set out on the body and wellness page. Which of those a zone is quoted for follows the reading of the zone, and no platform here has to be sold to keep a room occupied.

If the reading points back at the face after all, there are two radiofrequency lines to choose between. Thermage FLX works from a sealed tip counted in 600 shots, and Density is the other monopolar radiofrequency line on the list, quoted in 300-shot tiers. Both are facial work, and the choice between them comes out of the diagnosis and not out of the brand you had heard of first.

Dear, Knowhow

How a Thermage request for a body zone is handled here

01 — DIAGNOSIS FIRST

The zone is read before any tip or handpiece is named

EVE Muse 3D capture with five-light-source AI analysis, together with a hands-on examination, separates slackness in the skin from fullness underneath it. Naming a device before that reading is guessing with an expensive consumable.

02 — THE FULL ARSENAL

A request for Thermage on the body is answered, not redirected quietly

The building holds focused ultrasound, two monopolar radiofrequency lines, microwave body contouring and injectable options. Because all of them are in the room, the answer to a body request can be the platform that suits the zone, and the reason for the swap is explained rather than glossed over.

03 — DIRECTOR-PERFORMED

Thermage tips are director-performed, and certified three years running

Grid marking and every placement are done by the director who read your scan. Dear Clinic’s Thermage certification has been renewed in 2024, 2025 and 2026 through Solta Medical Korea.

Pricing

What a Thermage tip costs in Gangnam, Seoul

A 600-shot Thermage FLX facial tip at Dear Clinic is ₩1,900,000 (≈ $1,355) and the 450-shot Eye tip is ₩2,200,000 (≈ $1,570). Those are the two figures on the Thermage line of the list, read identically by Korean and international patients, and there is no third figure for a body tip.

What the figure buys is one sealed consumable and the protocol that goes with it. A quote written before the session names the tip, the shot count and the rate, and that sheet is what you settle against. Settlement is in Korean won; any dollar figure shown beside a rate is a reading conversion and an approximation.

People sometimes ask why 600 facial shots and 450 eye shots carry the same figure. The answer is that a tip is not priced by the shot: each is a separate sealed consumable with its own protocol, and the periorbital tip is the more delicate of the two to run. Consultation and aftercare arrangements are itemised for you at the desk.

Caution

What to check before booking anything sold to you as body Thermage

Five questions worth asking at any desk, including this one.

Ask which tip will be opened and how many shots it holds. A tip has a factory count, and that count should appear on your quote.
Ask whether the tip is the one the protocol calls for. A facial tip run across a large body zone is a different treatment from the one being described.
Ask what device is actually being used. Monopolar radiofrequency is a category, and the brand on a poster is not always the machine in the room.
Ask who performs the placements. Grid marking and shot delivery decide the outcome as much as the energy setting does.
Ask what happens if the reading says the zone needs something else. An assessment that cannot end in a referral is a sales appointment.
After any dermal radiofrequency session, expect redness and warmth on the day and some tenderness for a few days; a blister, a bruise or a numb patch is less common and is worth a same-week call.

FAQ

Body Thermage in Cheongdam, answered plainly

How much does body thermage cost in Cheongdam Seoul?
There is no body Thermage rate at Dear Clinic, because no body tip is stocked. The two published Thermage lines are the 600-shot facial tip at ₩1,900,000 (≈ $1,355) and the 450-shot Eye tip at ₩2,200,000 (≈ $1,570). A body zone is quoted on a different platform after the zone is read.
Is body thermage safe at Korean clinics?
Dear Clinic does not run Thermage on body zones, so the answer here is limited to the general picture: monopolar radiofrequency is a heat treatment, and its risk profile turns on the device, the tip and the hand delivering it. Ask which tip is being opened, its shot count, and who performs the placements before booking anywhere.
Can a facial Thermage tip be used on an abdomen or an arm?
It is not the protocol, and it is not offered here. A tip carries a fixed shot count designed for a defined surface, and stretching a facial consumable across a much larger zone changes both the coverage and the economics of the treatment being described.
What does Dear Clinic use for body tightening instead?
Onda body contouring, which delivers Coolwaves microwave energy through a dedicated body handpiece and is sold in kilojoule units. It reaches a different layer from a dermal radiofrequency tip, and it is the platform a body zone is normally quoted on here.
Why do the face tip and the Eye tip cost the same?
Because each is a separate sealed consumable with its own protocol and shots are not sold here by the unit. The 450-shot periorbital tip works on far thinner skin and is the more delicate of the two to deliver, which is why both lines carry the same published figure.
Does Thermage lift, or does it tighten?
Here it is used for tightening and texture. Monopolar radiofrequency spreads heat through the deep dermis, which firms the skin envelope. Lifting a deeper layer is a different job, and the diagnosis decides which of those two your face is actually asking for.
Is the Thermage equipment here certified?
Dear Clinic holds Thermage certification renewed through Solta Medical Korea in 2024, 2025 and 2026, and the certified-clinic plaque is displayed in the clinic. Certification covers the clinic and the protocol; it does not alter the fact that the tip list stops at the face and the eye area.
Can I book Thermage on the day I arrive in Seoul?
Often, once the reading supports opening a tip, since there is no injection. A 600-shot facial tip is long chair time, so say when you write that Thermage is what you are asking about. Dear Clinic is open 365 days a year.
Do international patients pay a different Thermage rate?
No. One written list applies to everyone and there is no visitor surcharge. You settle in Korean won, and any dollar figure beside a rate is a reading conversion at a documented rate, so treat it as an approximation and not a quotation.
What happens at the assessment if I ask for body Thermage?
The zone is read on EVE Muse and by hand, and you are told plainly that the tip for it is not on the list. The appointment then either quotes you the platform that suits the zone or ends in a referral. No session is booked on a treatment the clinic does not run.
Will one Thermage tip be enough for my face?
That is decided at the reading and written on the quote before anything is unsealed. A tip holds a fixed count, so a plan that needs more than one says so up front, and a plan that needs only one is not padded to look busier.
How soon does anything change after a Thermage session?
Some firming from the heat is felt early, and the dermal response builds over the months that follow. No fixed interval is promised in advance, since it varies with skin, age and lifestyle, and any maintenance question is settled with your director at follow-up.
