XERF Treatment Process in Gangnam: Consultation, Shot Count, and Pricing

A XERF session at a Gangnam dermatology clinic follows a fixed sequence — doctor consultation, shot-count decision, procedure, aftercare — and the price follows the shot count: at Ode Clinic near Gangnam Station, DEEP Mode XERF costs ₩1,000,000 (~$720) for 300 shots, ₩1,900,000 (~$1,370) for 600, and ₩2,750,000 (~$1,980) for 900, VAT excluded, with USD approximate and moving with exchange rates. The count between 300 and 900 is set by the doctor based on your age and degree of sagging, not chosen from a menu. For visitors planning a treatment trip, this process is worth understanding step by step before booking.

Step One: The Consultation That Sets Everything

Unlike retail-style clinics where a counselor quotes packages before a doctor appears, the process here begins and ends with medical judgment. For travelers used to different systems at home, knowing who you will actually talk to is one of the most reassuring details to confirm in advance.

You consult the doctor who treats you

At Ode Clinic, every visit — even for small treatments — starts with a 1:1 consultation with the doctor who performs the procedure, and English consultation is available for international patients. The doctor assesses where your laxity sits: XERF is typically recommended for nasolabial folds, sagging mouth corners, and a loosening jawline, for people who want elasticity and sagging addressed together, and for those who prefer less pain and downtime.

Photography, treatment design, and a second look

The consultation uses 2D/3D skin-diagnostic photography, which serves two purposes: it grounds the shot-count recommendation in something visible, and it creates the baseline for before-and-after comparison at follow-up. A re-consultation then confirms the finalized plan — shot count, whether to add Eye XERF, and total cost — before the procedure begins, so the number you agreed to is the number you pay.

A shot count fixed during a doctor’s examination, documented with diagnostic photos, is the difference between a treatment plan and a sales package. Ask any clinic you consider which of the two it offers.

How Shot Counts Map to Prices

Because the recommendation lands somewhere between 300 and 900 shots, it helps to know in advance what each level costs and how the arithmetic behaves as counts rise. All figures below exclude VAT.

300, 600, or 900 shots — and what each costs per shot

DEEP Mode plan	Price (KRW)	Approx. USD	Approx. per shot
XERF 300 shots	₩1,000,000	~$720	~₩3,330
XERF 600 shots	₩1,900,000	~$1,370	~₩3,170
XERF 900 shots	₩2,750,000	~$1,980	~₩3,060

Broadly, younger patients with early laxity tend toward the lower counts, while more established sagging may call for 600 or 900 shots — but the deciding factors are age and degree of sagging as the doctor observes them, so treat these as orientation points rather than self-diagnosis.

Eye XERF and combination pricing

The eye area has its own line: Eye XERF 300 shots at ₩1,100,000 (~$790). Combining it with a face session is priced as a set — DEEP 300 + Eye 300 at ₩1,900,000, DEEP 600 + Eye 300 at ₩2,800,000, and DEEP 900 + Eye 300 at ₩3,700,000. Doing the arithmetic against the separate line items, the sets come out ₩150,000–₩200,000 lower, which rewards treating face and eye area in one planned visit — a structure that suits travelers with limited days in Seoul.

Per-shot cost declines as counts rise, and combination sets price below their parts. Neither fact should drive the medical decision, but both mean that following a doctor’s larger recommendation is not financially penalized.

The Procedure Itself and the Months After

Once the plan is confirmed, the remaining questions are practical: what the session is like, and when to expect visible change — particularly relevant if you are flying home soon after.

DEEP mode, in a private room

The procedure is performed in a private single-person room, and the clinic runs XERF exclusively in DEEP mode — the only mode that produces the device’s 6.78MHz + 2MHz dual-frequency energy — even though this makes sessions longer. The clinic also states a genuine-products, official-quantities policy, meaning the shot count you agreed on is the shot count delivered. Customized post-procedure care follows before you leave, closing out the clinic’s six-step visit flow in a single appointment.

Results timeline and sensible aftercare

Changes can begin soon after the session, and the maximum effect typically develops around 2–3 months as the deeper tissue responds. Radiofrequency treatments can occasionally cause burns or blisters, and follow-up care at the treating clinic matters for preventing pigmentation — one more reason international patients are wise to schedule treatment early in a trip and keep the clinic’s WhatsApp line (+82 10-2609-4529) for questions after returning home.

Expect a quiet trajectory rather than an overnight transformation: early change soon after the session, building toward month two or three. Judge the outcome then, against the diagnostic photos taken on day one.
