InMode in Korea is priced per session and per treated area, and the lowest listed non-surgical V-line package on this page starts from ₩29,000 before VAT. InMode uses bipolar radiofrequency with vacuum suction: the Forma handpiece heats the dermis to roughly 3 mm, while the FX handpiece works on the surface layer and is often sold for the area under the chin. A typical package names the handpieces used, the zones (jawline, under the chin, cheeks) and the number of sessions. The table below lists current prices from 10 clinics for InMode, ultrasound and other radiofrequency lifts and jaw toxin, all before VAT, with 10% VAT added at payment.

What changes the price
- Handpiece and mode: a Forma-only session, an FX-only session and a combined Forma plus FX session are usually separate menu lines, so check which one a quote describes.
- Area count: the lower face is often split into jawline, under-chin and lower cheeks, each zone adding to the total.
- Number of sessions: radiofrequency tightening is usually booked as a course, and the per-visit price in a course is usually lower than a single visit.
- Device family: InMode and Oligio are radiofrequency devices, while Shurink Universe, Ultherapy and Sofwave are focused ultrasound (HIFU), usually priced per shot or line.
- Genuine tips and cartridges: ask to see the sealed tip or cartridge opened in the room; a reused or third-party tip is one way to reach a low price.
- Injection add-ons: masseter toxin is priced per area or unit by brand, and fat-dissolving products differ widely; only deoxycholic acid under the chin has phase 3 trial data, so a house contour cocktail is a different, less studied product even if it sits on the same price line.
- What the package includes: numbing cream, cooling, a follow-up check and soothing care may be listed separately or folded in.
- VAT: prices on this page are before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment, so compare quotes on the same basis.

FAQ
Questions about Vline Nonsurg in Gangnam
Are InMode prices in Seoul shown before or after VAT?
Prices listed on this page are before VAT, and 10% VAT is added when you pay at the clinic. Some clinics in Seoul quote the pre-tax figure at the desk while others give a final total, so always ask which one you are seeing. When you line up two InMode quotes, convert both to the same basis first. Ask for the figure in writing.
Why is one InMode session cheaper than a full course?
A single session is priced as a trial, while a course spreads the cost over several visits, so each visit in a course usually costs less. In the 2022 Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology study by Chawvavanich and colleagues, patients had four Forma sessions two weeks apart, and laxity scores only improved significantly after the third. One visit is unlikely to show the full effect, so ask how many sessions the clinic plans before you compare prices.
Is Shurink in Korea priced the same way as InMode?
No, Shurink Universe is a focused ultrasound device priced by shot count, while InMode is radiofrequency priced by session or area. A Shurink quote should name the cartridge depths, for example 4.5 mm for the deeper support layer and 1.5 to 3.0 mm for the skin, and the shots per side. Ask how many shots each side gets.
How do I compare an Oligio quote in Korea with an ultrasound lift?
Compare what each one treats first, then the price unit. Oligio is monopolar radiofrequency that heats the dermis to about 3 mm and is usually quoted by shot count, while ultrasound devices reach deeper layers and are quoted by shot or line. Ask each clinic how many shots or lines it plans for your lower face and whether the tip or cartridge is new. Only then is a side-by-side price meaningful.
Can I pay for a lifting course on a card and use it over two trips?
Most clinics accept international cards, and some let a course be used over more than one visit. Ask in writing how long remaining sessions stay valid, whether they can be refunded and whether the price changes if you return later. Keep the receipt and the session record. If the clinic cannot state these terms clearly, paying per visit is the safer choice.
Why do quotes for the same lower-face lift differ so much between clinics?
Quotes differ mainly because clinics count different things: number of zones, shots, passes, sessions and whether numbing and follow-up are included. A device version, a genuine tip and who performs the treatment also change the cost. Ask each clinic to write the device, handpiece or cartridge, the dose per area and what is included, then compare line by line instead of judging only the total.
Is it cheaper to combine radiofrequency and jaw toxin on one visit?
Some clinics offer a combined package, and it can cost less than booking each treatment on its own. The two act on different things: radiofrequency heats and tightens skin and fat, while toxin relaxes a bulky chewing muscle. A combined price only helps if you need both. Ask which part of your wide lower face is skin, fat or muscle before paying for both.
