Thermage Price in Gangnam, Seoul

Two Thermage lines sit on the written list at Dear Clinic in Cheongdam: a 600-shot face tip and a 450-shot Eye tip. Both figures are quoted before any seal is broken, and both are the figures a Korean patient reads.

The Short Answer

What Dear Clinic charges for Thermage

Dear Clinic publishes two Thermage lines. The full-face Thermage FLX tip, 600 shots, is ₩1,900,000 (≈ $1,355). The Eye Thermage tip, 450 shots, is ₩2,200,000 (≈ $1,570). Those are the figures Korean patients are quoted, with no foreigner surcharge and no line added at the desk afterwards.

What you are buying is a physical object. A Thermage treatment tip reaches the clinic sealed, carries a shot count set at the factory, and its counter cannot be wound back or topped up. Once unsealed for your name it belongs to your session, so the quote is tied to the tip; how long you spend in the chair does not move it.

That is why this page carries two numbers instead of one session fee with an eye-area extra bolted on. The periorbital protocol runs on its own consumable, so it is its own line on the plan you sign.

Rates as published in September 2026. Nothing on this page is sold as a multi-tip package bought in advance: you approve one tip, it is unsealed for you, and whether a second visit is worth your money is discussed after the first has been reviewed. Every published figure across the clinic sits on the full price list, and the treatment page itself is Thermage FLX at Dear Clinic.

Why shots, not minutes

Why a Thermage rate is written per 600 and per 450 shots

Three things follow from pricing a treatment against a sealed consumable instead of against chair time.

01 — THE COUNT IS FIXED

A Thermage tip is sealed at its factory count

Six hundred means six hundred. The handpiece reads the tip, decrements it as the grid is stamped out, and refuses it once the count is spent. Nobody here can stretch a tip across a bigger face or sell you half of one, which is why a quote names a tip and never an hour.

02 — THE MAP SPENDS THEM

Where the 600 shots land is a planning decision

A jaw edge that has begun to blur takes a heavier share, a cheek that is still holding takes fewer, a zone not yet asking for energy takes none. That allocation comes out of the EVE Muse 3D capture and the five-light-source reading, and the rate does not move with it.

03 — THE EYE RUNS SEPARATELY

The 450-shot Eye tip is its own consumable

Lid and under-eye skin is treated on a dedicated tip at settings of its own. It is never carved out of a face tip, so it is never an add-on price either.

Two lines, one figure

Why the Eye tip and the face tip read the same amount

Stated plainly, before anyone runs into it at the desk: Eye Thermage at ₩2,200,000 (≈ $1,570) and the full-face tip at ₩1,900,000 (≈ $1,355) carry the same listed amount, even though the Eye tip holds 150 fewer shots. Fewer shots buys no discount here.

The reason runs through this whole page. A rate on this list is attached to a certified single-use consumable and the protocol run with it, and both tips qualify on both counts. Periorbital skin is thin, the margin around the lid is small, and the protocol is slower per placement than a sweep across a cheek.

So the eye area becomes a decision on its own merits. If under-eye crepe bothers you most, book that tip by itself; if the looseness is spread across the whole envelope, the face tip is the better use of the same money. Some faces are planned for both, quoted as two lines.

A number from search results

What “900 shots” means beside a 600-shot Thermage tip

Shot counts travel through forums and foreign advertising, and 900 is one of the numbers people arrive with. The straight position: 900 shots is not a line on Dear Clinic’s published list. What we publish and quote are the 600-shot face tip and the 450-shot Eye tip, and we put no figure against a unit we do not sell.

It also helps to know what a shot count is. It belongs to the consumable fitted to the handpiece, so it is no dial your director turns up on the day, and a higher number is not automatically a stronger result. Energy level, how widely the placements are spread and how thick your dermis reads all move the outcome more than a headline count does. Stacking energy onto one spot is what produces a surface burn or a blister.

If you are carrying a 900-shot quote in your notes, bring it in. We will tell you what the same money buys on this list.

Dear, Knowhow

What a genuine tip and three years of Thermage certification cost us

The cheapest way to run a radiofrequency room is to economise on the consumable. This is the part of the rate that refuses to.

01 — CERTIFIED THREE YEARS RUNNING

Certification renewed in 2024, 2025 and 2026

Dear Clinic’s Thermage certification has been issued in three consecutive years — 2024, 2025 and 2026 — through Solta Medical Korea, with directors named individually. The documents hang in the clinic and are photographed below.

02 — THE COUNTER READS FULL

Your Thermage tip starts its count at your session

A single-use tip is fitted in front of you and the handpiece reads it as unused. Ask to see that reading; it is the simplest check there is.

03 — DIRECTOR-PERFORMED

The doctor who read your scan stamps the grid

Hundreds of placements is a long time to hold a handpiece steadily, and the outcome depends on none being rushed, doubled or skipped. Marking the map and delivering it are director-performed here, by the doctor who read your scan.

Spending it well

Deciding whether a Thermage tip is where your budget belongs

Firmness has dropped across the whole envelope → the 600-shot face tip earns the figure
Crepe and fine texture sit mainly around the lids → the 450-shot Eye tip alone
You want one visit instead of a course spread over months → a tip suits that rhythm
You are comparing a written quote against a verbal one → bring both to the consultation

There are bookings we turn down on this page. Radiofrequency does not reach the SMAS, so where the scan places your descent at that depth we do not recommend unsealing a tip and put focused-ultrasound lifting in front of you instead. A pacemaker or another implanted electronic device rules monopolar radiofrequency out altogether, and active inflammation or broken skin inside the zone postpones the visit until it has healed. If the looseness reads mild enough that a lighter radiofrequency course would answer it, that is what we quote: the whole range sits in the same corridor and on the same list.

Where to read the rest: the lifting and tightening hub sorts every platform by the depth it reaches, Density and XERF carry the lower entry points in radiofrequency, and Thermage compared with Density takes the two side by side.

Caution

What a Thermage tip also costs you in recovery time

Money is only one column. Here is the other one, named before you book instead of afterwards.

Several hours of warm, flushed skin after a full-face tip. No day off is normally needed, and makeup goes back on the same evening.
A day or two of soreness under pressure over cheek and brow, and brief puffiness around the lids after the Eye protocol.
A few days without saunas, heated workouts or sunbathing, while the dermis works through the energy it was given.
Acids, retinoids and scrubs set aside until the tightness eases, with more moisturiser than feels necessary.
Uncommon and named on purpose: a small surface burn or blister where heat concentrated, a patch of numbness that takes weeks to fade, or a shallow dent from over-treating one point. Any of those is a same-week phone call, and the sooner the better.
Months before a second tip is even discussed, since collagen keeps building long after the visit, and a follow-up call tracks how it is going.

FAQ

Thermage pricing in Gangnam, answered

How much does Thermage cost in Gangnam?
At Dear Clinic in Cheongdam, the 600-shot Thermage FLX face tip is ₩1,900,000 (≈ $1,355) and the 450-shot Eye Thermage tip is ₩2,200,000 (≈ $1,570). Both are published figures, and the plan you approve is the plan you are charged for. Everything the quote covers is itemised for you before the tip is unsealed.
Why do the face tip and the Eye tip cost the same?
Because the figure is attached to a certified single-use consumable and the protocol run with it, and both tips qualify. The Eye tip holds 150 fewer shots, but periorbital skin is thin and the protocol around the lid is slower per placement. Fewer shots therefore buys no reduction on this list.
Do you sell a 900-shot Thermage session?
No. The units published here are the 600-shot face tip and the 450-shot Eye tip, and we do not quote a price for a unit we do not sell. Shot count belongs to the consumable; it is not a dial that can be turned up on request, and a bigger number is not automatically a better outcome.
What does the written Thermage quote cover?
Your quote names the tip, the shot count and the figure, and it is itemised alongside the EVE Muse reading, the consultation, comfort measures and the aftercare arrangements. Ask for that sheet before you agree to anything: what appears on it is what you will be asked to settle.
Is the Thermage 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 it is a reading conversion at a documented rate, so treat it as an approximation.
Is Thermage cheaper if only my lower face is treated?
No, because a tip cannot be partly bought. Treating a smaller area means the 600 shots land more densely inside it, which your director may or may not think is the right use of them. Where one small zone is the only concern, a platform with a smaller unit is usually better value.
How many tips will a plan need, and how often?
Most plans are a single tip per visit, with the interval decided at review instead of promised in advance. Collagen keeps forming for months, so judging the result too early tends to push people into paying for a second tip they did not need yet.
Can a tip be split across two visits to spread the cost?
It cannot. Once unsealed, a tip is committed to that session, and its counter cannot be paused and resumed weeks later. If the cost of one tip is the obstacle, say so at the consultation: a course-based radiofrequency platform with a smaller unit is a legitimate answer, and it is on the same list.
Is there a cheaper radiofrequency option at Dear Clinic?
Yes. Density and XERF are radiofrequency platforms priced in smaller shot blocks, so the entry point is lower and the treatment is repeated more often. Which of them fits is a reading question first and a budget question second, and both are quoted from the same published list.
How do I know the tip is genuine and unused?
Dear Clinic’s Thermage certification has been issued in 2024, 2025 and 2026 through Solta Medical Korea, with individual directors named on the certificates, and the plaque is displayed in the clinic. On the day, the tip is unsealed in front of you and the handpiece reads its count as full before the first placement.
What happens if you turn me down for Thermage?
You leave with a reading and a recommendation, and no tip is unsealed. That happens when the scan places your descent at the SMAS, when a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device rules monopolar radiofrequency out, or when inflamed skin means the visit should wait. In each case the consultation ends by naming what would suit you instead.
Can I book, be assessed and pay on the day I arrive in Seoul?
Usually, and naming your dates in advance means a tip is set aside under your name, which matters more here than for treatments with no single-use consumable. Send the form below for an English reply as soon as possible, slot held and no deposit taken. Dear Clinic is open 365 days a year, so weekends and public holidays are ordinary booking days.

Scientific Evidence

Peer-reviewed sources behind a monopolar radiofrequency tip

A published figure is easier to argue about than a published mechanism, so the sources sit here too. Monopolar radiofrequency holds one of the longer peer-reviewed records among non-surgical tightening technologies, and the periorbital trial below speaks directly to the separate Eye line on this list.
