The answer to how much is Thermage in Korea starts with the shot count: listed packages begin at ₩1,200,000 before VAT. That entry package usually covers a smaller number of shots on one zone with the face tip, plus numbing cream and a short consultation. Full-face plans, higher shot totals, the separate eye tip and neck add-ons are listed higher. The table below shows current prices from 10 clinics, all before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment. Any Thermage Korea price you compare should name the device version, the tip and the exact number of shots, so that two quotes describe the same treatment.

What changes the price
- Shot count: Thermage FLX is sold by the number of pulses delivered, so a plan with more shots across the face is priced above a smaller jawline plan.
- Tip type: The face tip, the eye tip and the body tip are separate single-use consumables, and eyelid work is usually listed as its own line.
- Area: Adding the neck, forehead or jawline raises the shot total. A 2024 study by Kim in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Global Open measured lifting separately in five facial zones after a related 6.78-MHz monopolar RF device, which mirrors why clinics plan and price shots zone by zone.
- Genuine device and tip: Sealed Solta tips are a real cost to the clinic, so a quote far below the rest is worth a direct question about the tip and the device version.
- Combined treatments: Bundles that pair Thermage with Ultherapy, a focused ultrasound device, or with a skin booster or toxin are priced as one figure, so ask for each part itemized.
- Who performs it: Some clinics have a doctor deliver every shot, others a trained nurse under a doctor's supervision, and that can shift the figure.
- What is included: Numbing cream, a soothing mask, take-home aftercare products and a follow-up visit may or may not sit inside the listed price.
- VAT: Listed prices are before VAT and 10% VAT is added at payment, so add it to every quote before comparing totals.

FAQ
Questions about Thermage in Gangnam
Does a Thermage price in Seoul include VAT?
Usually not: clinics list prices before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment. The figure on a menu board, website or written quote is normally the pre-tax amount, and the receipt shows VAT as a separate line. Ask whether a quote was written before or after VAT if it is not stated, so the totals you compare are equal.
What does a Thermage package usually include?
A package normally covers one session with a stated tip and shot count, numbing cream and a consultation. Some clinics also include a cleansing step, a cooling or soothing mask after treatment and a short follow-up check. Aftercare creams or sunscreen are sometimes sold separately. Before you agree, ask for a written list of what the figure covers, so nothing appears as an extra charge on the day.
Why does Thermage cost in Korea vary so much between clinics?
Most of the gap comes from shot count, tip type and what the package bundles, not from the device itself. One clinic may quote a jawline plan while another quotes the full face and neck, and both may be called a Thermage package. Staffing, location and included aftercare add smaller differences. Comparing the shot total per zone is the quickest way to see whether two offers are really alike.
How can I compare two quotes fairly?
Put both quotes on the same basis: same device version, same tip, same shot count per zone and the same VAT treatment. Then check what each includes, such as numbing, a follow-up visit or aftercare products. Ask who will deliver the shots and whether the tip is opened in front of you. A slightly higher quote with clear itemization is often easier to trust than a low figure with no details.
Is the eye tip priced separately?
In most clinics, yes, because the eye tip is a different single-use consumable from the face tip. It is often offered as an add-on to a face package or as a standalone eyelid session with its own shot count. Protective eye shields are placed before treatment. If you want eyelids included, ask for the eye shots to appear as a named line in the quote.
How do clinics take payment from international visitors?
Most clinics accept major international credit cards, and many also take cash in Korean won; some accept transfers or app-based payment. Card payments may be charged in won, and your bank sets the exchange rate and any foreign transaction fee. Payment is usually made on the treatment day, though some clinics ask for a deposit to hold a slot. Ask about refund terms for a deposit before you send it.
Will I need to pay for repeat sessions?
Yes, each session is priced on its own, since a new tip and new shots are used every time. Many people have a single session and judge results over the following months, then repeat roughly once a year if they want to maintain firmness. Some clinics offer a lower rate for a return visit, so ask about it. Results vary from person to person, so a repeat plan should follow a review of how your skin responded.
Does a very low price mean the tip is not genuine?
Not always, but a price far below other clinics is a reason to ask direct questions. Genuine Solta tips are sealed, carry a serial label and show a shot counter on the device screen, and refilled or reused tips cannot be verified that way. Ask to see the box opened and the starting shot count before numbing. A clinic confident in its supplies will show you without hesitation.
