Thermage FLX in Seoul: 2026 price guide by shot count, what's included and how to plan your visit

Planning to have Thermage FLX while you are in Seoul, and want to see the published price before you message a clinic? This guide sets out what LIV lists for Thermage FLX: the price by shot count, how long the appointment takes, what happens with anesthesia and downtime, and how to fit it into a short trip. LIV Plastic Surgery is a non-surgical anti-aging clinic in Gangnam, one minute from Sinsa Station and next to Garosu-gil. International patients pay from the same price list as Korean patients, and you can book directly in English without an agency.

Thermage FLX prices at LIV (2026)

Thermage FLX is priced by the number of shots, and the eye area uses a dedicated eye tip with its own price. The figures below are the starting prices per session shown on the Thermage FLX page; the price list shows the 600-shot and eye-tip rows.

Two things to know about the numbers. The tilde means "from": the final price is set once the surgeon has seen your skin and agreed the shot count with you. And VAT is added on top of the listed price.

What the price covers

• The shot count for your area. Thermage FLX is priced by the number of shots of radiofrequency energy delivered. The clinic treats the full face, the eye area, the neck and the body; how many shots your area needs is decided at the consultation.
• A genuine Thermage FLX system and authentic tips. LIV is a Thermage FLX partner clinic and an officially certified Ultherapy Prime provider. Only genuine, certified handpieces (tips) are used, and you are welcome to check this yourself before treatment.
• Language support at no extra charge. Consultations are available in English, and interpretation is arranged free of charge on request. There is no foreigner surcharge and no fee for language support.
• An in-person consultation with the surgeon before the treatment, on the same visit. The 1:1 consultation fee is KRW 10,000, and it is fully deducted from the treatment cost if you proceed with treatment on the same day.

Time, anesthesia, downtime and results

• Anesthesia and comfort. The treatment page lists Thermage FLX as a no-anesthesia treatment, because the vibrating tip reduces discomfort. Numbing cream can be applied for about 30 minutes before the treatment, and most patients receive it comfortably. If you are sensitive to pain, additional pain control is available; mention it at your consultation.
• Downtime. You can return to daily life immediately. Temporary flushing is possible after the treatment.
• Results. The clinic describes an immediate improvement in elasticity, followed by collagen regeneration over 3–6 months. Results last about 6 months to 1 year, and this varies with skin condition, age and lifestyle. No particular result can be promised in advance.
• How often. The clinic recommends 1–2 sessions per year. The interval that suits you is set at the consultation.
• Thermage FLX compared with earlier versions. According to the clinic, AccuREP technology adjusts the energy automatically and the treatment is 25% faster.

Fitting Thermage FLX into your trip (no agency needed)

Thermage FLX is completed in one session with no return visit, so it needs a single block of time during your stay. You do not need a medical-tourism agency: you message the clinic directly, receive a quote before you travel, and there is no deposit to reserve a consultation. Enquiries are answered within one business day.

1. Contact the clinic on WhatsApp (+82 10-6888-2773) or the live chat on this site, in English. You can also use the contact form.
2. Remote consultation and quote. Share your concerns and a few photos. The clinic suggests suitable treatments and sends a clear price estimate.
3. Schedule your visit. Pick a date and time that fits your itinerary and reserve your appointment.
4. Visit and same-day treatment. Meet the surgeon for a final in-person consultation, then receive your treatment the same day in most cases.
5. Remote aftercare. After you return home, follow-up and questions are handled through your messenger or chat, and you receive a written aftercare guide in English.

Practical details for the day:

• Clinic hours: Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00, Saturday 10:00–16:00, closed on Sunday (Korea time).
• Getting there: Sinsa Station (Line 3), Exit 4 — a 1-minute walk. From Incheon Airport it is about 70–90 minutes by AREX train or limousine bus, or about 60 minutes by taxi; from Gimpo Airport about 40 minutes by taxi or subway. Address: 4F, Jaeun Building, 80 Naruteo-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul.
• Payment: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, UnionPay and Korean won in cash. Card installment payment is available.
• Flying home: Thermage FLX needs no follow-up visit, and the clinic lists recovery as an immediate return to daily life. The site does not state a number of hours to wait before boarding a flight, so tell the clinic your flight time when you book and confirm it at your consultation.
• Changing your appointment: because there is no deposit for a consultation booking, if your plans change, tell the clinic through the same chat as early as you can.

When you block out time, allow for the consultation, the treatment itself (45–60 minutes) and, if numbing cream is used, about 30 minutes before it. For how other treatments fit into a one- or two-night stay, see the downtime and flight planning guide.

Is Thermage FLX right for you?

The clinic describes Thermage FLX as suited to people who:

• are concerned about loss of skin elasticity;
• want to improve fine lines;
• prefer a natural, gradual change; and
• want a treatment without anesthesia.

Points to raise at your consultation:

• Thermage FLX cannot be performed on people with a pacemaker.
• It is not performed during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
• If you have a metal implant in the treatment area, a consultation is needed first.
• Temporary flushing is possible after the treatment.

If you are weighing it against Ultherapy: Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to contract collagen in the dermal layer and promote its regeneration, and the clinic describes it as effective for overall skin elasticity. Ultherapy Prime uses focused ultrasound (HIFU) that reaches the deeper SMAS layer, and is described as effective for lifting sagging skin. The two can be combined. The Ultherapy vs Thermage vs Shurink guide compares them in more detail, and the Ultherapy price guide lists Ultherapy prices by area. Which one fits you is decided at the consultation.

Every treatment is planned and performed under Dr. Sooyoung Kim, a board-certified plastic surgeon with four SCI-indexed research publications; see our medical team. More answers for international patients are on the medical Q&A page.
