Walk around the area near the Myeongdong subway station, and you’ll find that the Oligio device is available in at least four different Dermatology clinics. However, the prices range from 9.75 million to 9.125 million Korean won, and the model numbers also vary, ranging from Oligio to OligioX. I decided to carefully check the official websites of each clinic and inquire with their customer service teams, and then compiled all the information regarding the device models, approximate prices, reservation procedures, and service features in this article – so you won’t encounter any discrepancies when you actually go there.
Later, I discovered that several Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong actually offer Oligio (the Korean version of Thermage) – its price ranges from one-third to half of that of the American version FLX, and the discomfort is much lower. You can even go shopping right after the treatment 🚇.
In short: As of June 2026, there are at least four Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong that are equipped with Oligio devices – Lienjang (OligioX), LIJIN (Oligio, starting from ₩750,000), Kleam (Oligio), and YOU&I (Oligio). Among them, Lienjang and LIJIN have publicly listed their prices, while it is recommended to consult Kleam and YOU&I directly. If you are afraid of pain but still want to achieve a firming effect, this article can save you a lot of time comparing prices.
What is Oligio? Understand Oligio, the Korean version of Thermage, in just one minute.
To put it simply, Oligio is a monopolar RF device independently developed by South Korea. Its working principle is the same as that of the American Thermage device: it uses RF energy to heat the dermis, causing aged Collagen to contract and simultaneously stimulating the growth of new Collagen. As a result, the skin becomes tighter, the contours become more defined, and fine lines fade away.
However, compared to the American version of FLX, there are several key differences:
- Less pain: Oligio is equipped with a dual-system of vibration and cooling. Before the treatment probe comes into contact with the skin, it is first cooled down, so most people only feel a “warmth” rather than a “stinging sensation”. It is truly a lifesaver for those who are sensitive to pain.
- Fast speed: The treatment probe has a surface area of 4 cm², which is larger than that of traditional probes. The entire treatment takes approximately 20–30 minutes. You can easily take some time during lunch to undergo the treatment and then return to work afterwards.
- Affordable prices: The Oligio 300 in Myeongdong ranges from approximately 9.75 million to 9.125 million won, while the American version of FLX costs anywhere from 9.18 million to 9.22 million won. The price difference is actually twice as much or even more.
- Developed specifically for Asian skin types: Oligio’s parameter settings have been tailored to accommodate the thicker and more sensitive skin of Asians, and are not simply copied from the European version.
- The duration of effect is relatively short: Oligio generally lasts for 6 to 12 months, while the American version of FLX lasts for approximately 12 to 18 months. This is the main reason for the price difference.
In a nutshell: Oligio is a skin-tightening solution that focuses on cost-effectiveness. If you don’t seek “the strongest results at any cost,” but rather want to see tangible improvements without breaking the bank or delaying your schedule, then Oligio is perfect for you.
Which Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong offer Oligio? I checked one by one for you.
To write this article, I spent an entire afternoon checking the official websites and contacting the customer services of various Dermatology clinics around the Myeongdong subway station, and finally identified 4 clinics that definitely have Oligio equipment. Below is a list of these clinics, arranged in ascending order of price:
① LIJIN Myeongdong — Oligio: Starting from ₩750,000 for 300 injections; offers the best cost-performance ratio.
LIJIN in Myeongdong has always been known for its “transparent pricing and high cost-performance ratio” in the Dermatology field. Their Oligio package offers the lowest publicly available price in Myeongdong at present: 300 sessions for approximately ¥750,000.
LIJIN’s Director Huang Ruzhu has 16 years of experience in anti-aging treatments, and the clinic also provides Chinese-speaking staff to assist with communication. With a wide range of treatment options available—including Oligio, Potenza, Rejuran, and hyaluronic acid injections—this clinic is truly capable of providing “one-stop solutions” for patients.

② Lienjang Myeongdong — OligioX: ¥880,000 for 300 treatments; the equipment is state-of-the-art.
Lienjang is one of the few clinics in Myeongdong that uses OligioX (the upgraded version). OligioX delivers more precise energy output compared to the standard version of Oligio; therefore, with the same 300 treatments, the treatment process takes less time and the results are more even.
Their official website has a dedicated introduction page for Oligio (cnlienjang.com/oligio/), highlighting features such as “KFDA certification,” “a dual-system of vibration + cooling to reduce pain,” and “operation by the hospital director with over 10 years of experience.” The price for 300 units of OligioX is ¥9.88 million—¥130,000 more expensive than LIJIN, but it includes the additional value of “equipment upgrade.”

The official website of Kleam Myeongdong Branch has a dedicated page for Oligio (myeongdongbeautyclinic.com), which promotes the claim that “no recovery period is required, and daily activities can be resumed immediately after treatment.”
They are located near Exit 7 of Myeongdong Station and are open until 9 p.m. on weekdays and until 6 p.m. on weekends, making them very convenient for travelers with tight schedules. Kleam Myeongdong does not display its prices publicly, but referring to the prices at Kleam Hongdae, 300 treatments cost approximately 9.125 million won. The prices at the Myeongdong location may vary slightly, so it is recommended to contact them directly via WhatsApp in Chinese—replies are very quick.

⚠️ 3 things you must understand before booking Oligio
⚠️ Pit 1: What are the differences between Oligio and OligioX/Oligio Kiss?
Some clinics provide quotes for the old version of Oligio, while others use the new OligioX model, which boasts greater power and shorter treatment times. If you simply ask “how much does it cost” without specifying the model, you might actually be comparing two completely different devices.
→ How to avoid this: When consulting, make sure to ask clearly which version of Oligio it is (Oligio/OligioX/Oligio Kiss), and write down the device model next to the quotation for comparison.
⚠️ Pit 2: Different numbers of hairs result in different prices; there is a twice difference in cost between 300 hairs and 600 hairs.
Many people assume that “price” always refers to the same thing. In fact, the pricing at Oligio is based on the number of treatments: the price for 300 treatments can be twice as much as that for 600 treatments. For the same amount of money, having 100 fewer treatments means the cost increases by 33%.
→ How to avoid this: When consulting each service provider, always ask “How much does it cost for 300 hairs? How much for 600 hairs?” Only by comparing prices for the same number of hairs does it make sense to make a decision. Don’t just focus on the total price.
⚠️ Warning 3: For first-time users, it’s best not to try using 900 shots at once.
Some clinics recommend packages of 900 treatments, claiming that they are more effective. However, for the first time undergoing Oligio treatment, 300 to 600 treatments are already sufficient to observe noticeable results, and there is no need to spend so much money. Moreover, since one’s pain tolerance varies from person to person, it is safer to start with just 300 treatments.
→ How to avoid it: It is recommended to start with 300 posts initially; if the results are good, you can increase the number to 600 posts next time. Trying to start with 900 posts at once is both costly and carries a risk of difficulty in adapting.
The pros and cons of Oligio: To put it simply…
| ✅ Advantages | ⚠️ Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| 👍 Reduced pain: The combined vibration and cooling systems usually only cause a mild warming sensation. | 👎 The effect is not as long-lasting as that of the American version of Thermage: it usually lasts for 6 to 12 months. |
| 👍 Fast service: Each treatment takes only about 20-30 minutes, so your travel schedule won’t be disrupted. | 👎 Regular maintenance is required: It is recommended to receive repeated treatments every 6 to 12 months to maintain the best results. |
| 👍 Short recovery time: You can already apply makeup and go out shopping on the same day after the treatment. | 👎 Not every clinic has it: Only some clinics in Myeongdong are equipped with Oligio devices. |
| 👍 Developed in South Korea: Specifically designed for Asian skin types and certified by the KFDA. | 👎 Lack of transparency in pricing: Some clinics do not disclose their rates publicly and require individual consultations. |
| 👍 Great value for money: The price is approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of that of the American version of Thermage FLX. | 👎 Results vary from person to person: It may have limited effect on severely sagging skin. |
In different situations, which company should I choose?
- If your budget is limited (within ¥8 million): Consider LIJIN’s Oligio 300 set, which costs approximately ¥9.75 million and is currently the cheapest option available in Myeongdong. It is ideal for those who are trying this treatment for the first time and do not want to spend too much.
- If you prefer the latest models of equipment: consider Lienjang’s OligioX (₩880,000/N300 shots). The OligioX is an upgraded version with more precise energy delivery and shorter treatment times.
- If you want to consult about multiple treatments at the same time, choose Kleam Myeongdong. You can directly consult via Chinese WhatsApp and get one-stop information on the prices and combination options for Oligio+, glow injections, and ultrasound treatments.
- If you don’t know any Korean or English at all: BOTH YOU&I and Kleam offer Chinese-language services, so you can simply request a consultation in Chinese when making an appointment. It is recommended to add their WeChat or WhatsApp accounts first to confirm the available schedule before making your trip.
| dimension | Suitable | Not suitable |

❓ Frequently Asked Questions about Oligio
Q: What is Oligio? How does it differ from the American version of Thermage?
A: Oligio is a monopolar RF device developed in South Korea, also known as the “Korean version of Thermage.” Compared to the American Thermage FLX, Oligio causes less discomfort (it features both vibration and cooling systems), costs approximately one-third to half as much, and takes less time for each treatment session (20–30 minutes). However, the duration of its effects is slightly shorter (6–12 months versus 12–18 months). In short, Oligio is an entry-level option with excellent cost-performance ratio for skin tightening treatments.
Q: Which stores in Myeongdong carry Oligio?
A: As of June 2026, the following Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong that offer Oligio services have been confirmed: Lienjang (OligioX), LIJIN (Oligio), Kleam (Oligio), and YOU&I (Oligio). The available models and prices vary among these clinics; it is recommended to compare the prices below before making a decision.
Q: How much does it cost to have an Oligio treatment?
A: The reference price range for the 300-hair pack at Myeongdong’s Oligio is between ₩9.75 million and ₩9.125 million. LIJIN costs approximately ₩9.75 million, Lienjang OligioX is around ₩9.88 million, and Kleam is about ₩9.125 million (based on the prices at the Hongdae store). The 600-hair pack ranges from ₩9.15 million to ₩9.19 million. Note that prices may vary due to promotional activities, so please inquire about the latest rates before making a purchase.
Q: Is Oligio painful? Is anesthesia required?
A: Most people experience a “warmth sensation” rather than the stinging pain associated with traditional Thermage treatments. Oligio features both vibration and cooling systems; the treatment probe cools down before coming into contact with the skin, and the vibration helps distract the patient, resulting in significantly less discomfort compared to the American version of Thermage. In most cases, no anesthetic cream is required, but if you are particularly sensitive to pain, you can inform the clinic in advance, and they will prepare accordingly.
Q: How long does it take for the effects of Oligio to become visible? And how long do these effects last?
A: Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a sense of tightness (this is the immediate effect of Collagen contracting when heated), but the actual improvements begin to appear after 2–4 weeks (during the process of new Collagen formation), and the optimal results are achieved after 2–3 months. The effects usually last for 6–12 months, so it is recommended to receive another treatment every 6–12 months to maintain the best results.
Q: Can I go shopping right after getting the Oligio treatment?
A: Absolutely! Oligio hardly requires any recovery time. After the procedure, your face might turn slightly red, similar to how it feels after exercise, but this redness will disappear within 1-2 hours. You can immediately apply makeup, go shopping, or have a meal. The only thing to keep in mind is to avoid drinking alcohol, taking saunas, or engaging in intense physical activity within 24 hours after the treatment.
Q: Are there any side effects associated with Oligio?
A: Oligio is a medical device certified by the KFDA, ensuring its safety. Common temporary side effects include redness at the injection site (which subsides within 1-2 hours) and mild swelling (which disappears on the same day). In very rare cases, small areas of bruising may occur. As long as the procedure is performed at a legitimate clinic by an experienced physician, the risks are extremely low.
The above is a comprehensive list of the 4 Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong where Oligio is available. To be honest, if you asked me…
- If you have a limited budget and want to test the waters first → Choose LIJIN; a price of 9.75 million won is the lowest publicly available price in Myeongdong.
- If you care about the equipment and want the best experience, then choose Lienjang’s OligioX. The upgraded version is definitely worth the extra cost of NT$130,000.
- If you want to compare prices from multiple providers in one go and need Chinese-speaking customer service, please add Kleam on WhatsApp or YOU&I on WeChat first. After receiving the quotes, you can then make your decision.
No matter which option you choose, it is highly recommended that you confirm the schedule and the latest prices through BeautsGO before making your trip. Sometimes, last-minute visits may result in full schedules or changes to promotional offers, so it’s essential to check in advance to avoid wasting your time.
