₩149,000 (≈ $106) to ₩1,990,000 (≈ $1,421) is the published face lifting range at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong, and the cost breakdown has exactly 4 components: energy type (HIFU or RF), device tier, shot count and treatment zone — each stated in writing before treatment.
A face lifting quote in Korea is really 4 decisions stacked on top of each other, and this face lifting cost breakdown separates them so you can see which ones move the number. First, energy type: HIFU devices (Ultherapy Prime, Shurink Universe) focus ultrasound to a precise depth including the 4.5mm SMAS layer, while RF devices (Thermage FLX, Oligio X, Density) heat the dermis in bulk to drive collagen remodeling — the two families overlap in goal but not in mechanism, and their price bands differ. Second, device tier: a 300-shot session ranges from ₩149,000 (≈ $106) on Shurink Universe to ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779) on Ultherapy Prime, because imaging guidance, transducer cost and manufacturer pricing differ per platform even at identical shot counts. Third, shot count: 300 shots covers targeted zones, 600 shots covers the full face — roughly a doubling of consumable and time cost that the published list reflects transparently. Fourth, zone: eye-area plans (Ultherapy Prime eye at ₩790,000 (≈ $564), Thermage eye at ₩990,000 (≈ $707)) are priced as their own lines, not folded into vague full-face figures.
What is deliberately absent from the breakdown at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong: consultation fees, foreign-patient markups, interpreter commissions and post-treatment charges. Every session is performed personally by co-director Dr. Lee Wonjin (KR Medical License 143124) or Dr. Lee Kangin (KR Medical License 141247) after a 15–20 minute consultation, cartridge and tip serials are recorded on the chart, and the same KRW list applies to Korean and international patients — with Seoul lifting rates typically 50–70% below equivalent US and Japanese pricing for the identical branded device and shot count.
