Myeongdong Face Lift Packages and What They Include
Entry and Mid-Tier Options
The Inmode Forma full-face plus Inmode FX 1 area plus Shurink 300 shots package at ₩399,000 ($307 USD) provides an accessible introduction to non-surgical lifting. This combination targets superficial dermis tightening with radiofrequency while Shurink addresses deeper tissue layers with focused ultrasound. It suits patients aged 30-40 with early laxity who want preventive maintenance.
The Titanium 80kJ plus Onda 80kJ plus Inmode FX or Forma package at ₩1,550,000 ($1,192 USD) delivers dual-energy radiofrequency treatment. Titanium heats the dermis for collagen remodeling while Onda targets subcutaneous tissue with coolwaves technology at 2.45 GHz. This mid-tier option addresses moderate sagging across the full face and jawline.
Premium Multi-Layer Protocols
The Ultherapy Prime 200 shots plus Sofwave 100 shots plus Inmode package at ₩1,950,000 ($1,500 USD) combines focused ultrasound at 4.5mm depth with synchronous ultrasound at 1.5mm depth, covering the SMAS layer through mid-dermis. The Sofwave 200 shots plus Titanium 80kJ package at ₩2,590,000 ($1,992 USD) pairs high-shot-count ultrasound with volumetric radiofrequency for maximum collagen stimulation. Revinas 3,000 shots with Onda 120kJ and Inmode FX at ₩1,580,000 ($1,215 USD) targets nasolabial folds and double chin specifically.
Korea vs International Price Comparison
Non-surgical face lift costs in the United States range from $3,000-$8,000 for comparable multi-device protocols. Ultherapy alone costs $2,000-$5,000 in major US cities. In the United Kingdom, equivalent treatments run £2,500-£6,000 ($3,150-$7,560 USD). Australian pricing falls between AUD 4,000-9,000 ($2,600-$5,850 USD) for premium lifting packages.
Myeongdong pricing ranges from ₩399,000-₩2,590,000 ($307-$1,992 USD), representing savings of 40-70% compared to US pricing for equivalent device combinations. This price differential reflects Korea's competitive aesthetic market with over 1,500 clinics in the Gangnam-Myeongdong corridor, lower overhead costs, and manufacturer volume discounts unavailable to smaller Western practices.
What Affects Face Lift Cost in Korea
Four primary factors determine treatment cost: device selection, shot count, number of treatment areas, and combination complexity. Ultherapy commands a premium due to its proprietary focused ultrasound technology and per-cartridge pricing. Each Ultherapy cartridge delivers a fixed number of shots, and full-face protocols require multiple cartridges. Sofwave and radiofrequency devices have lower per-session costs because they are not constrained by disposable cartridge pricing.
Shot count directly impacts results and cost. A 100-shot Sofwave session treats a limited area, while 200 shots cover the full face and neck.

Payment Options for International Patients
Korean aesthetic clinics accept international credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay. Cash payment in Korean won often qualifies for a 5-10% discount at many clinics. VAT of 10% is already included in listed prices. Some clinics offer installment plans for Korean bank card holders, though international patients typically pay in full at the time of treatment. Currency exchange is readily available at banks and ATMs throughout Myeongdong.
