The detailed answer
Thermage FLX is priced by the number of shots, or pulses, delivered with a single-use treatment tip. More shots cover more area or allow more passes, so the price rises with the plan. At Dernia, the entry plan is 300 shots for a focused face treatment, from ₩990,000 before VAT.
| Plan | Typical coverage | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 300 shots | Face (focused) or maintenance | From ₩990,000 |
| 600 shots | Full face and jawline | Higher; see the price guide |
| 900 shots | Full face, jawline and neck | Higher; see the price guide |

Lower-cost alternatives
Korean RF devices work on a similar principle for less. Oligio X and Volnewmer each start from ₩390,000 for 300 shots; compare them in Thermage FLX vs Oligio X and Thermage FLX vs Volnewmer. If you want skin tightening and deeper lifting together, the Seoul Signature Lifting package combines Thermage with Ulthera from ₩1,290,000.
What we recommend
Judge value, not just price: one well-planned session that lasts 12–18 months can cost less per month than cheaper treatments repeated often. Ask for any quote in writing, including the shot count and tip type, so you can compare clinics accurately. Thermage is not suitable with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, or during pregnancy. Read our honest Thermage FLX review, then book a consultation for a confirmed quote based on your skin.
