Onda Price in Gangnam, Seoul

Onda is quoted in kilojoules, so the rate is attached to energy delivered and not to a body part or a time slot. Dear Clinic publishes a face unit of 60 kJ and a body unit of 80 kJ.

The Short Answer

What Onda is quoted at here

Dear Clinic in Cheongdam publishes two Onda units. A facial session of 60 kJ is ₩500,000 (≈ $355). A body session of 80 kJ is ₩650,000 (≈ $465). Both are the figures Korean patients read, there is no foreigner surcharge, and nothing is pre-sold as a multi-session package.

A kilojoule is a quantity of energy, so those two lines tell you the rate but not your total. How many units an area asks for depends on how thick the layer under it reads and how far the applicator has to travel, which is settled in the room after the assessment and written down before the handpiece is picked up.

Onda runs on Coolwaves™ from DEKA, an energy band its maker describes as microwaves at 2.45 GHz — neither radiofrequency nor laser light. The same platform serves the face and the body here; what changes between the two lines is the applicator and the size of the energy budget.

Rates as published in September 2026. You buy one session at a time: whether a further unit is worth your money is a conversation held after both of us have seen how the area responded. Every published figure across the clinic sits on the full price list, and the treatment pages themselves are facial Onda lifting and Onda body contouring.

Why energy, not area

What a kilojoule rate lets you check

Three consequences of quoting Onda against delivered energy instead of against a named body part.

01 — A UNIT YOU CAN COMPARE

Kilojoules survive a comparison between clinics

“One abdomen” and “one hour” mean whatever the room decides they mean. Sixty and eighty kilojoules mean the same thing everywhere, so a quote written that way can actually be held up against another one.

02 — THE BUDGET IS SPENT, NOT SPRAYED

Where the Onda energy goes is a decision, zone by zone

An energy budget can be concentrated where the layer reads full and withheld where there is nothing worth heating. The EVE Muse 3D capture and the five-light-source reading, taken alongside a hands-on examination of the area, are what separate those two zones on you. The rate per unit does not shift with the map.

03 — NO OPEN-ENDED COURSE

Each Onda unit is bought on its own

Nothing here is sold as a block of six paid for in advance. That keeps the second session a decision you make with information, once the first has been reviewed.

Two lines, two jobs

Which Onda line your plan is written from

The face line at ₩500,000 (≈ $355) covers work on a heavy lower face, an early under-chin pocket and the jaw outline. Facial zones are small and the applicator has little ground to cross, so a 60 kJ unit usually carries a face plan comfortably.

The body line at ₩650,000 (≈ $465) exists because an abdomen, a pair of arms or the thighs are simply larger surfaces. The body applicator is built for broad, curved ground, and the published unit is bigger to match. Comparing the two figures without comparing the kilojoules behind them compares nothing.

Some plans use both lines in sequence — a jawline addressed on the facial unit, a flank on the body unit — and each is quoted separately, on its own line, before anything begins. If you have already had the facial treatment here, say so: how your tissue responded the first time is real information for sizing a body plan, and it can change the number of units your director recommends.

Body contouring budgets

What body contouring with Onda actually costs in Korea

People searching for a body contouring cost in Korea are usually trying to find out two things: the rate, and how many sessions they will end up paying for. The first is published above at ₩650,000 (≈ $465) per 80 kJ. The second has no honest answer before your tissue has been examined, and any clinic quoting you a session count over a message is guessing.

Two things keep that from being an evasion. Your assessment separates how much of the fullness is soft tissue from how much is slackness in the skin above it, because those are budgeted differently. And because units are bought singly, a plan that turns out to need less than expected simply costs less; you are never refunding a package.

We publish no centimetre and no kilogram figures for Onda. Change from body work of this kind is gradual, builds over the weeks that follow, and differs between people, so a number promised in advance would be an invention. What is promised is a measured quantity of energy delivered to an area you agreed, and a review of what changed.

Spending it well

When an Onda unit is worth its rate

A soft pocket with slack skin over it → the energy has something to work on
A heavy jaw outline or an early under-chin fullness → the 60 kJ facial unit
An abdomen, flank, arm or thigh that stayed soft through steady training → the 80 kJ body unit
You want a measured amount of energy quoted up front, with no course signed in advance

There is a version of this booking we turn away, and saying so is the point of an assessment. Where the face is lean and simply descending there is nothing for the microwaves to grip, so we do not recommend a course of units and put focused-ultrasound lifting or a radiofrequency plan in front of you instead. Where the real issue is body weight or a large volume of tissue, no energy device answers it, and a surgical opinion is the more useful referral. The risks are the ordinary ones for a heat-based treatment and are named before you book: warmth and redness on the day, a firm or tender feel for several days, and, less often, a tender nodule, a patch of bruising or a small burn where heat concentrated in one spot.

Where to read further: the lifting and tightening hub sorts the platforms by the depth each one reaches, and body and wellness sets Onda beside the other body options on the list.

Caution

What an Onda session also asks of you after you pay

The second column of the cost, named before booking instead of afterwards.

A few hours of warmth and mild pink over the treated ground. No mark to cover and no day set aside.
Several days in which the area may feel firm, warm or faintly tender to the touch while the tissue settles.
A short break from saunas, very hot baths and alcohol, all of which add heat to a layer already busy with it.
Gentle handling of the zone: no vigorous kneading, no abrasive scrubs, no high-stimulation actives on facial areas until the firmness passes.
Less common and named on purpose: a tender nodule under the skin, a patch of bruising, or a small burn where heat concentrated. Any of those is a same-week call, and the sooner the better.
Patience with the timeline. Firming builds over the weeks that follow, so photographs at agreed intervals tell you more about whether the money worked than a mirror check the next morning.

FAQ

Onda pricing in Gangnam, answered

How much does Onda cost in Gangnam?
A facial 60 kJ session at Dear Clinic is ₩500,000 (≈ $355) and a body 80 kJ session is ₩650,000 (≈ $465). Both are the rates a Korean patient reads, and the plan you approve is the plan you are charged for. What your quote covers is itemised before the session starts.
Why is Onda priced in kilojoules instead of per area?
Because a kilojoule is a measurable quantity and an area name is not. Sixty kilojoules covers very different ground on a jawline than across an abdomen, so quoting the energy tells you exactly what is being delivered and lets you compare one quote against another.
Why does the body unit cost more than the facial one?
The body line is 80 kJ against 60 kJ on the face, delivered through a larger applicator across a far bigger surface. The difference between the two figures is the difference in energy and coverage, so comparing the prices without the kilojoules beside them is not a comparison.
How many Onda sessions will I be paying for?
That is set at the assessment and reviewed as you go. Sessions are bought one at a time here, so the decision about a second comes after both of us have seen how the area responded to the first, and a plan that needs less simply costs less.
Is the Onda price different for international patients?
No. One written list applies to everyone and there is no foreigner surcharge. You settle in Korean won; the dollar figure beside the rate is a reading conversion at a documented rate, so treat it as an approximation.
What does the written Onda quote cover?
Your quote names the unit, the area and the figure, itemised alongside the EVE Muse reading, the hands-on examination, the consultation and the aftercare arrangements. Ask for that sheet before you agree: what is written on it is what you will be asked to settle.
Can one unit be split across two areas?
Within one session, yes — the energy budget can be divided across zones your director agrees on, which is exactly what a kilojoule quote is for. What it cannot do is carry over to another visit, since the unit is delivered in the session you booked it for.
How does Onda compare on price with the other lifting platforms here?
It sits at a different place on the list because it answers a different problem. Focused ultrasound and radiofrequency are priced per shot block and aim at depth or at the dermis; Onda is priced per kilojoule and works on a soft pocket with slack over it. Which one you are quoted follows the reading, and all of them are on the same published list.
Will Onda reduce my weight or take centimetres off?
No, and we publish no centimetre or kilogram figures for it. This is contour and firmness work on a localised zone. If weight loss is the goal, this is the wrong page and the assessment will say so before anything is booked.
What happens if you turn me down for Onda?
You leave with a recommendation and no session is booked. That happens when the reading finds a lean, descending face with nothing for the microwaves to grip, or when the volume in question really calls for a surgical opinion. The assessment ends by naming what would suit you instead.
Does the rate change if the session runs longer?
It does not. You are buying delivered energy, so a body area that takes longer at the applicator is still the published 80 kJ figure. Naming the area when you book simply lets the appointment be sized properly.
Can I be assessed and treated on the day I land in Seoul?
Usually. Onda asks for no injection, so a session can follow the assessment once your director confirms the area suits it. Body zones hold the applicator longer than a jawline does, so name the area when you write. Send the form below for an English reply as soon as possible, slot held and no deposit taken, and Dear Clinic is open 365 days a year.

Scientific Evidence

Peer-reviewed sources on microwave contouring

Microwave body technology is younger than the ultrasound and radiofrequency platforms beside it on this list, and its published literature is correspondingly small. Three indexed papers are listed here, and a fourth that was retracted has been kept off the page on purpose.

Each entry resolves to a DOI. They are listed as literature about the technology, which is also why no centimetre figure appears anywhere on this page: reported outcomes vary widely between individuals.
