墨白 Thermage is one of the most popular anti-aging treatments in Dermatology in South Korea. Among the Taiwanese people who undergo Thermage treatment each year, a considerable number choose to have it done at dermatology clinics located in the Myeongdong area of Seoul. Abijou Clinic in Myeongdong is one of those clinics with a solid reputation; it has been in operation since 2006 and has multiple branches in Seoul. This article provides detailed information on the fees for 600 sessions of Thermage at Abijou Clinic, as well as the specifics of the treatment and the consultation process.

Reference fees for 600 treatments with Thermage
The starting price for 600 sessions of Yamei Zhuri Thermage FLX is approximately 1.6 million Korean won, which is equivalent to around 36,000 New Taiwan dollars when converted (the exchange rate may vary depending on the actual situation). 600 sessions represent a relatively common standard treatment volume for Thermage, and it is suitable for purposes such as lifting the mid-to-lower face, improving the appearance of the Nasolabial Fold Correction, and tightening the chin line.
| Project | Reference fees (in Korean won) |
|---|---|
| The American version of the Thermage FLX 600 device | Starting from approximately 1.6 million Korean won |
| The Ulthrea HIFU device model 300 | Starting from approximately 750,000 Korean won |
| HIFU + Thermage combination (300 + 600) | Starting from approximately 2.35 million Korean won |
| 1 centum core of Filler | Starting from approximately 98,000 Korean won |
| Botulinum toxin | Starting from around 20,000 Korean won |
The above are merely reference ranges; the final price will be determined on the day of the in-person consultation at the clinic. Yami Zhu occasionally offers discounts on combined packages, which can be inquired about during the reservation process.
The therapeutic effects of 600 treatments with Thermage
The principle of Thermage FLX is to use radiofrequency energy to heat the Collagen in the dermis, causing it to contract immediately and continue to regenerate over the following 3 to 6 months. A treatment with 600 pulses is generally sufficient to complete a standard treatment for the mid-to-lower face area.
The areas where the effects are most noticeable usually include the Nasolabial Fold Correction, the flesh around the mouth, the contours of the chin, as well as the overall elasticity and firmness of the skin. Most people begin to notice changes 1 to 2 months after the treatment, with the effects reaching their peak at 3 to 6 months, and lasting for approximately 1 to 2 years.
There is no obvious recovery period after undergoing Thermage treatment. On the day of the procedure, some people may experience slight redness on their faces, which usually subsides within a few hours. The next day, it is already possible to apply makeup and go out as usual. This is one of the main advantages of Thermage for Taiwanese people who are accustomed to traveling for medical beauty treatments.
Who is the target audience for Thermage 600 treatments?
The 600-fiber Thermage treatment is suitable for people with mild to moderate facial sagging, and the age group that most frequently inquires about and uses this treatment is around 30 to 50 years old. If your main goal is to achieve full-face lifting, it is generally recommended to use a higher number of fibers—900 or more—for greater coverage. However, if you only want to target the lower face, jawline, or specific areas for improvement, 600 fibers are usually sufficient.
Situations where Thermage treatment is not suitable include: the treatment area containing implants (such as metal bone screws or certain types of fillers); active skin inflammation; or if a woman is trying to conceive or is breastfeeding. During the consultation, the doctor will assess whether Thermage treatment is appropriate for the individual.
Explanation of the consultation process
Upon arriving at the clinic, the receptionist will ask you to fill out a consultation form, which includes information about your allergy history, current skin condition, and previous treatment records. The clinic provides Chinese translation services, so not understanding Korean won’t affect your communication.
During the in-person consultation, Dr. Yin Jizhou or Director Kim De-hao will provide recommendations based on the condition of your skin, rather than immediately suggesting a treatment package. During the consultation, you can clearly state your main concerns, such as “my Nasolabial Fold Correction is quite deep” or “the contours of my chin are not well-defined,” as this will help you receive more targeted advice than if you simply say “I want to anti-age.”
Treatment will be carried out after the project and related fees have been confirmed. The treatment using Thermage 600 usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. After the procedure, you can rest briefly in the clinic, and the nurse will inform you of the post-treatment precautions. Chinese instructions will also be provided for you to take home.

What is the difference between 600 shots and 900 shots?
600 hairs are mainly used to target the middle and lower areas of the face, making them ideal for targeted local improvements. 900 hairs cover a larger area, including the entire face and part of the neck, resulting in generally more noticeable lifting effects, but the cost is also higher accordingly. During the consultation, your doctor will recommend the appropriate number of hairs based on the size of your face and the degree of sagging.
