About

What is Density?

Density is a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment that delivers high-density monopolar radiofrequency (RF) into the dermis. The concentrated heat contracts collagen on the spot and stimulates new collagen over the following weeks, firming loose skin, refining texture and reinforcing elasticity. Its distinctive feature is a three-tier tip system — Classic, High and Alpha — so the intensity of the pass can be matched to your skin instead of applied at one fixed level.

Radiofrequency heats the dermis broadly. Focused ultrasound is the technology that reaches the SMAS layer underneath it, so the two answer different problems and your reading decides which of them your face is actually asking for. Density’s own variable is the tip. Classic, High and Alpha are the three tiers the platform ships with, each carrying its own rate per 300 shots, and the tier is written into your plan before the handpiece is switched on.

Treatment Areas

Where a 300-shot block gets spent

A block of shots is finite, so the map matters. Your EVE Muse reading shows which zones have lost firmness, and that is where the density of passes goes.

01

Cheek and mid-face slackness

The zone that absorbs the largest share of a block. Firmness across the cheek reads first in photographs, which is why most Density maps open here.

02

A jawline losing its edge

Early heaviness along the lower face, worked with tighter pass spacing so the outline sharpens.

03

Coarse pores and crepe

Surface complaints answered from underneath: heating the dermis thickens the support beneath a pore, so the opening looks smaller once collagen has rebuilt around it.

04

Neck skin

Thinner and more reactive than cheek skin. Energy comes down accordingly and the block is usually smaller.

Three tips, three rates

Three tip tiers, three separate rates

One platform, three tips. The tip is the part of the treatment that changes, and the published price changes with it.

TIP 01 — CLASSIC

Classic, the entry tier

₩700,000 (≈ $500) per 300 shots. The gentlest of the three, and where most courses open.

TIP 02 — HIGH

High, the middle tier

At ₩900,000 (≈ $645) per 300 shots, the High tip is prescribed when a Classic block has been tried and the reading still shows slack, or when the first scan already points past the entry setting.

TIP 03 — ALPHA

Alpha, and the 600-shot block

The strongest tip the platform carries, at ₩1,300,000 (≈ $930) per 300 shots. It is also the only tier published in a double block: ₩2,000,000 (≈ $1,430) buys 600 shots, which is what a full face plus neck tends to need in one sitting, and it works out cheaper per shot than buying two 300-shot blocks.

How a Density tier gets prescribed here

01 — THE FULL ARSENAL

Seven energy platforms in these rooms

Ultherapy Prime, Thermage FLX, Density, XERF, Onda, New Titanium and Shurink Universe are all installed here. A reading that lands on the SMAS layer is quoted focused ultrasound. A reading that lands in the dermis is quoted radiofrequency.

02 — DIAGNOSIS FIRST

What the EVE Muse scan settles

Three tiers are only useful if the choice between them is made on evidence. EVE Muse 3D imaging and its five light sources record firmness and texture zone by zone, and that record is what turns into a prescription: which tip, how many shots, over how many visits. You see the tier and the block written down, with the price attached, before anything is switched on.

03 — DIRECTOR-PERFORMED

The same hand in session one and session four

Density is usually built as a sequence, so the passes in your last visit have to look like the passes in your first. Every one of them is performed by our directors. Pressure, overlap and speed are the three variables that decide how evenly the dermis takes heat, and they drift the moment the operator changes.

How much does Density RF lifting
cost in Seoul?

Density is quoted by tip tier in blocks of 300 shots. At Dear Clinic in Cheongdam that is Classic ₩700,000 (≈ $500), High ₩900,000 (≈ $645) and Alpha ₩1,300,000 (≈ $930), plus a 600-shot Alpha block at ₩2,000,000 (≈ $1,430). Each tip draws a different amount of energy, so each carries its own rate. The list is the same one quoted to Seoul residents and to patients who flew in this week, and the tier you are assigned comes out of the 3D reading and is agreed with you before the first pass.

Rates current as of September 2026. Because this device is usually run as a series, ask for the whole plan and its running total at consultation: the number of 300-shot blocks is agreed before the first one and nothing is appended afterwards. Thermage FLX, XERF, Onda, New Titanium, Shurink Universe and Ultherapy Prime are quoted from the same published list, so bring the comparison to the same appointment.

Caution

What the days after a Density block feel like

Treated zones look pink and feel hot to the touch as you leave. On the higher tiers that flush is usually more obvious than on Classic, and it still calms down the same day.
Pressing on the cheek or jaw can feel dull and sore for a day or so after a High or Alpha pass. That is dense heat working through the dermis, and it resolves on its own.
Until the flush has gone, stay away from anything that adds heat back: no sauna or jjimjilbang, no hot yoga, no long soaks in a hot bath.
Drop acids, retinoids and scrubs until the skin stops feeling tight, and keep the barrier well moisturised. A course works better when each session starts on calm skin.
Monopolar radiofrequency carries a small risk of a superficial burn or a blister where energy concentrates, and swelling or a bruise can appear at the edge of a treated zone. Call us the same week if a spot stays painful, blisters, or darkens instead of settling.
Spacing between blocks is set by your director and not by a calendar rule. Say so if warmth or sensitivity is still present when the next appointment comes round.

FAQ

Density RF lifting, answered

Is Density RF lifting worth it?
At ₩700,000 (≈ $500) for a 300-shot Classic block it is worth it when your looseness sits in the dermis and reads evenly across the face — that is the problem monopolar radiofrequency is built for. If your weight has dropped at the SMAS layer, this platform cannot reach it and focused ultrasound is the correct quote. The EVE Muse reading tells your director which of the two you are.
How much does Density cost in Seoul?
At Dear Clinic, Density is priced by tip: Classic ₩700,000 (≈ $500), High ₩900,000 (≈ $645) and Alpha ₩1,300,000 (≈ $930) per 300 shots, with a 600-shot Alpha plan at ₩2,000,000 (≈ $1,430). One published price list for locals and international visitors; your tip and shot count are planned from a 3D diagnosis and approved before treatment.
What’s the difference between the Classic, High and Alpha tips?
Intensity, and therefore price. Classic is the entry tier at ₩700,000 (≈ $500) per 300 shots; High sits above it at ₩900,000 (≈ $645); Alpha is the strongest the platform carries, ₩1,300,000 (≈ $930) per 300 shots or ₩2,000,000 (≈ $1,430) for a 600-shot block. Your director names the tier from the scan, and you approve it with the price attached.
How is Density different from Thermage?
Both are monopolar radiofrequency into the dermis, so their purpose overlaps. The difference you will feel is in how they are sold and structured: Thermage FLX is quoted as a 600-shot tip at ₩2,200,000 (≈ $1,570), typically one substantial visit, while Density is quoted in 300-shot blocks across three tiers and is usually built as a series. Dear Clinic runs both platforms, so the choice is made on your reading and on how you want the treatment spaced.
Does Density hurt?
You feel waves of deep warmth arriving under the handpiece, strongest on the Alpha tip and mildest on Classic. Topical numbing is available and most patients hold still without it. The sensation belongs to the pass and stops when the pass does.
When do Density results appear, and how long do they last?
Some tightening is felt straight away as existing collagen contracts under heat. The larger part builds over the following weeks as new collagen forms, and it accumulates when blocks are run as a series. How long the effect holds varies with your age, skin and how much collagen the treatment recruited, which is why maintenance is planned from a follow-up reading and not from a fixed interval.
Does a Density session cost me any downtime?
In practical terms, no. The flush is the main thing you will notice and it drains away over a few hours, though the higher tiers can leave the skin feeling tight a little longer. Patients slot blocks around work without rearranging anything, which is part of why running this as a series is realistic at all.
How many 300-shot blocks will I need?
That is a diagnosis output, not a menu item. A single block can cover one zone; a full face plus neck usually calls for the 600-shot Alpha plan at ₩2,000,000 (≈ $1,430) in one sitting. Your director maps how many blocks the reading justifies and gives you the running total before the first one is opened.
Who should not have Density?
Monopolar radiofrequency is not performed over an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator, and we do not treat during pregnancy. Skin that is currently inflamed, broken, infected or sunburnt is rescheduled until it has settled, because heating a compromised barrier raises the risk of a burn or of pigment change afterwards. Say at consultation if you have a history of keloid scarring or of hyperpigmentation after heat.
Do men get Density too?
Yes. Jawline definition and overall firmness are the usual requests, and male skin is generally thicker, which is one of the readings that can point past the Classic tier on a first visit.
How much does Density cost for international visitors?
The same as for locals: ₩700,000 (≈ $500), ₩900,000 (≈ $645) and ₩1,300,000 (≈ $930) per 300 shots, and ₩2,000,000 (≈ $1,430) for the 600-shot Alpha plan. KRW is what you pay, USD shown for reference, and the full plan is approved by you before treatment.
How do I fit a Density series around a trip to Seoul?
Send the form below with your travel window. We answer in English within one business day and hold the appointment with no deposit. The clinic runs 365 days a year — 10:00 to 19:00 on weekdays and 10:00 to 16:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, with no lunch-hour close — so a short stay can usually take the diagnosis and the first block on the same visit. If your window only fits one block, your director will tell you what one block realistically does before you pay for it.

Scientific Evidence

The evidence under high-density RF — peer-reviewed references

The claim behind this platform is a physical one: monopolar radiofrequency, packed densely enough into the dermis, contracts collagen and drives remodelling over the weeks that follow. Clinical literature has been testing that proposition for two decades, and the papers gathered here are what let a director argue an intensity tier from your tissue instead of setting one out of habit.

Every citation resolves to a DOI in an indexed journal. One of them ranges radiofrequency against microfocused ultrasound, which is precisely the comparison that decides whether a course on this device is the right prescription for you at all — or whether your EVE 3D + AI reading is pointing somewhere else entirely.
