Which Dermatology clinic in Myeongdong offers the Oligio treatment? I have inquired about the prices of all 5 clinics that have this equipment.

“So, which clinic in Myeongdong can actually perform the Oligio procedure?”

Last week, a friend flew from Taipei to see me, and the first thing she said as soon as we met was this. She said she spent two hours searching online—checking REDnote, Threads, and Google—and every article talked about how great Oligio was and how long its effects lasted, but none of them actually told her where she could get it done, what options were available, or how much the prices differed.

So, I spent three days visiting every Dermatology clinic in the area around Myeongdong Station – asking online, making phone calls, and checking Naver reviews. In the end, I compiled this list: 5 clinics in Myeongdong that definitely have Oligio equipment, along with their price ranges and the types of patients they are suitable for. If you’re also doing your research, this article should save you several hours of time.

Why bother looking for a clinic that uses Oligio specifically?

Let me start by sharing something that many people don’t know: not every Dermatology clinic has Oligio.

Oligio is a monopolar radiofrequency skin tightening device manufactured by South Korea’s Wontech company. It was not until 2022 that it was launched in South Korea and can be considered a “more comfortable version” of Thermage. Due to the high cost of the device (around ₩100-200 million South Korean won per unit), as well as the manufacturer’s requirements for training the physicians who will operate it, not every Dermatology clinic is willing to invest in this machine.

Many clinics will tell you, “We also offer radiofrequency skin tightening treatments,” but they may actually use devices such as Onda, Titanium, or the older model of High-Frequency RF. Although the principles behind these treatments are similar, the experience and results offered are quite different. Oligio has three key advantages:

• High comfort level – With an integrated cooling system, the treatment feels warm rather than burning; in most cases, no anesthesia is required.
• No recovery time required – after the treatment, there is only a slight redness that disappears within 1-2 hours, so you can go shopping on the same day.
• The effects are gradual and natural – Collagen continues to proliferate 1 to 3 months after the procedure, so there is no awkward period during which the entire face becomes stiff after the treatment.

This is also why many people regard it as an alternative to Thermage – its effects are mild but indeed effective, and the price is only about half of that of Thermage.

Complete list of 5 Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong that offer Oligio services

Here are 5 companies that I have confirmed (in no particular order, just listed in the sequence in which I contacted them):

① DAN-A Dermatology

• Reference price for Oligio: ¥880,000 to ¥1.5 million (for the entire face, approximately 300 injections).
• Address: Approximately 5 minutes’ walk from Myeongdong Station
• Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00-21:00; Thursday is a day off.

DAN-A is the clinic in Myeongdong about which I have written the most. Vice Director Bae Jae-hak graduated from Seoul National University and has 15 years of clinical experience; he personally performs all the procedures at DAN-A—this is nothing like the common practice where the director handles consultations while technicians perform the actual treatments.

In another review article about Oligio, I detailed the entire process of undergoing the Oligio treatment at DAN-A: from the consultation to the completion of the procedure, it took approximately one and a half hours. The process was almost pain-free, and one and a half months after the treatment, the lines on my chin became significantly clearer. For DAN-A’s complete price list, please refer to this article.

Who this is suitable for: People who value direct consultations with doctors, seek detailed pre-treatment advice, and are not deterred by slightly higher costs. If you, like me, are someone who hesitates about whether to proceed with the procedure, Dr. Pei’s consultation will help you feel more at ease.

② KLEAM Dermatology (Kailin)

• Reference price for Oligio: ¥9.69 million (300 doses) / ¥11.9 million (600 doses)
• Address: 4th-5th Floor, No. 43, Myeongdong Street (Exit 7, Myeongdong Station)
• Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 09:30-21:00; weekends, 09:30-18:00

KLEAM is the company on this list with the most transparent pricing – the official website clearly states the prices for Oligio services, eliminating the need for private inquiries or on-site price quotes. A full-face treatment for 300 units costing ₩690,000 is indeed a very competitive offer in Myeongdong.

The clinic is located on the main street of Myeongdong, occupying the fourth and fifth floors. The environment is bright, and the waiting area is equipped with vending machines and charging ports. Its multilingual service (Chinese/English/Japanese) is its greatest strength – the front desk staff and consultants can generally communicate in Chinese, which is particularly helpful for those visiting South Korea for medical aesthetics treatments for the first time.

⚠️ It’s important to note that the price of ₩690,000 may be a promotional offer, and the availability of doctors may vary depending on the time period. Be sure to confirm whether the procedure will be performed by a doctor or a technician before making your appointment.

Who it’s suitable for: People with a clear budget who value cost-effectiveness and need seamless communication in Chinese. Appointments can also be made on weekends, making it very convenient for short-distance travelers.

③ LIJIN Dermatology

• Reference price for Oligio: Approximately ¥700,000 to ¥1.2 million (please consult for confirmation).
• Address: Approximately 3 minutes’ walk from Myeongdong Station
• Opening hours: Open from Monday to Sunday (specific hours to be confirmed).

In my opinion, LIJIN is one of the top 5 Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong, offering the most comprehensive range of services. Director Huang Ruzhu has 15 years of clinical experience, and there is also a Chinese-speaking director on-site – which provides great comfort for foreign patients who may face language barriers.

LIJIN’s strength lies in its “one-stop” service – patients can undergo Oligio treatment at the same clinic and also receive Rejuran, Filler, or even Potenza treatments. For tourists who are only in South Korea for a few days, this means they don’t have to visit multiple clinics to complete all their procedures.

It is recommended to consult BeautsGO in advance regarding the specific price of Oligio, as LIJIN will provide a personalized quote based on the condition of your skin and the amount of hair to be treated.

Who it is suitable for: People who are going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time, those who want to undergo multiple procedures at the same clinic, and those who require a Chinese-speaking director.

④ PPEUM Dermatology (PPEUM)

• Reference price for Oligio: Approximately ¥500,000 to ¥900,000 (it’s a chain brand with frequent promotions).
• Address: Approximately 5 minutes’ walk from Myeongdong Station
• Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 10:00-21:00

PPEUM is a large-scale chain Dermatology brand in South Korea. Its Myeongdong branch specializes in serving foreign customers and provides consultations in Chinese. Its positioning is “high cost-performance”: although the prices are relatively low compared to those in Myeongdong, the standardized services offered by the chain mean that the customer experience may not be as personalized as that at DAN-A or LIJIN.

The prices of Oligio at PPEUM often change during promotional campaigns, so it’s recommended to check the current offers on BeautsGO first. If you don’t mind a “streamlined” service process, the prices at PPEUM are indeed quite attractive.

Who it is suitable for: People with limited budgets but who still want to undergo Oligio treatments and are not bothered by standardized service processes. If this is your first time experiencing medical aesthetics treatments and you have high expectations for the service experience, it is recommended that you consider DAN-A or LIJIN first.

⑤ Evia Clinic

• Reference price for Oligio: Please consult for confirmation.
• Address: Near Myeongdong Station
• Opening hours: To be confirmed

Evia is a professional laser and skin-tightening clinic located in Myeongdong. Its official Korean website clearly lists Oligio as its main treatment service. Although this clinic doesn’t receive much attention on English and Chinese travel forums, it has a decent reputation among local South Koreans.

Since there is relatively little information available in Chinese, it is recommended that those who wish to learn more consult BeautsGO. This option is suitable for more advanced customers who have some knowledge of Korean or are willing to use translation software for communication.

Comparative Summary of 4 Major Clinics: Oligio

For your convenience, I have prepared a comparison table of the top 4 clinics with the most transparent information:

institute	Reference price for Oligio	Doctors perform the procedures.	Chinese services	Open on weekends	Most suitable
DAN-A	₩880,000 to 1.5 million (for the entire face)	✅ The dean personally performed the procedure.	✅ We have Chinese consultants available.	❌ Thursday is a day off.	We place great emphasis on the experience of our doctors and offer comprehensive consultations.
KLEAM	₩690,000 to 11.9 million (300/600 pieces)	⚠️ Please confirm.	✅ Chinese/English/Japanese	✅ Until 6:00 PM on weekends	With a clear budget in mind, always striving for the best cost-performance ratio.
LIJIN	Around 700,000 to 1.2 million yen	✅ The director is available for appointments.	✅ Dean of the Chinese Language and Literature College	✅ Open on weekends	This is my first time visiting South Korea, and I would like to enjoy a one-stop service.
PPEUM	Around 500,000 to 900,000 yen	⚠️ Chain Brands	✅ Includes Chinese content	✅ Open on weekends	If your budget is limited and you don’t mind following standardized procedures, that’s perfectly fine.

(Evia is not included in the comparison table due to incomplete price information. It will be added if the details are updated.)

Why is the price of Oligio in Myeongdong so much different?

Seeing the price range jump from 500,000 won to 1.5 million won, you might wonder: Why is there a three-fold difference for the same machine?

The cost of Oligio is primarily determined by four factors:

• Who performs the treatment? If it is done personally by the clinic director versus by a technician, the price can differ by 30-50%. Since DAN-A is treated personally by the clinic director, the price is relatively higher; whereas in some chain clinics, the treatment may be performed by a technician, resulting in lower prices.
• The number of injections – 300 injections for the entire face versus 600 injections for the entire face plus neck means the prices will naturally differ. Some quotes that range from 500,000 to 600,000 won actually refer only to local areas (150–200 injections), and additional injections at the site will incur extra costs.
• The depth of consultation – a comprehensive pre-operative assessment (skin analysis, allergy testing, personalized treatment plans) requires time and expertise, and these factors are also reflected in the cost.
• Promotional Activities – Many clinics offer Oligio special discounts during off-peak seasons or holidays, but these offers are usually limited in quantity. If you come across an extremely low price, be sure to ask whether it’s the regular price or a temporary promotion.

So the conclusion is: don’t just look at the price. The difference between KLEAM, which costs ₩9.69 million, and DAN-A, which costs ₩880,000, lies not in “results” but in “the depth of service and the level of personalization”. If your only need is to have something done quickly and then leave, KLEAM is more than sufficient; but if you want someone to carefully assess your skin and tell you whether the treatment is right for you, then the extra cost for DAN-A is definitely worth it.

3 things you must confirm before going

In different situations, which company should be chosen?

This is probably the part that interests you the most. After all the discussions we’ve had so far, which clinic should you choose? My advice is to make your decision based on your own circumstances:

• If your budget is limited (within ₩700,000): Give priority to KLEAM’s promotional offers. The package of 300 treatments for ₩690,000 is currently the lowest price available in Myeongdong. However, make sure that the procedures are performed by the clinic director personally.
• If this is your first time undergoing medical beauty treatments and you’re worried about making mistakes, go to DAN-A. Vice President Pei Zhahe provides very thorough consultations. They will first analyze your skin condition before deciding whether to proceed with any treatment—not the kind of place where you’re simply pushed into having procedures as soon as you arrive.
• If you only have one day in Myeongdong and want to get everything done quickly: KLEAM is open until 6 pm on weekends, and the reservation process is fairly quick. LIJIN is also an option – they are more accommodating of walk-in customers.
• If you want to combine Oligio with other treatments, both DAN-A and LIJIN are suitable options – they offer a wide range of treatment options (Rejuran, Filler, lasers), allowing you to schedule multiple procedures in one go. PPEUM is also a comprehensive treatment option, and its price is more affordable.

Who is Oligio suitable for? And who is it not suitable for?

Before rushing to make an appointment, first confirm whether you are eligible to participate in Oligio’s program:

dimension	Suitable	Not suitable
Requirements	✅ Are you interested in non-invasive skin tightening treatments to improve mild to moderate sagging?	❌ Severe sagging (requiring surgery at the level of facelift procedures)
Budget	✅ Over ₩700,000 for a single Oligio treatment	❌ Any budget under 500,000 yuan would be more worthwhile for other projects.
Pain	✅ Those who are too afraid of pain and not willing to undergo treatments like Thermage	❌ —
Recovery period	✅ No need for a recovery period – you can go shopping on the same day after the procedure.	❌ —
Language	✅ Basic English skills or the ability to use mobile translation apps are sufficient.	❌ —
Expected results	✅ —	❌ Hoping for a dramatic change with just one attempt
time	✅ —	❌ If you are only in South Korea for 1-2 days, the effects of Oligio will not become apparent until several weeks later.

One additional note: If you’re not sure whether your condition falls under “mild to moderate sagging” or “severe sagging,” the most accurate way to determine it is to visit a clinic and let a doctor conduct an evaluation. Both Director Pei from DAN-A and Director Huang from LIJIN are highly skilled in making such diagnoses, so there’s no need to worry about being pressured into undergoing unnecessary treatments.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between Oligio and Thermage?

A: Both are types of monopolar radiofrequency skin tightening treatments, but Oligio uses a milder form of energy and causes less discomfort. Thermage is more effective but also more painful, making it suitable for cases of moderate to severe skin laxity; Oligio, on the other hand, is better suited for mild to moderate cases or for those who wish to undergo regular maintenance treatments. In terms of price, Oligio usually costs about half to two-thirds of what Thermage costs.

Q: Is it cheaper to get Oligio treatment in Myeongdong than in Gangnam?

A: Generally speaking, treatments in Myeongdong are 10-20% cheaper than those in Gangnam, mainly because Myeongdong serves a larger number of foreign tourists and thus faces more intense competition. However, some clinics in Gangnam also offer prices that are comparable to those in Myeongdong during promotional periods. It is recommended to compare the prices on both sides before making a decision.

Q: How long does the effect of Oligio last after just one application?

A: Generally, it takes 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and post-treatment care. For younger individuals under 30 years old who maintain good daily skincare habits, the effect may last closer to 12 months; for those over 40 or with poor lifestyle habits, a follow-up treatment is usually needed after around 6 months.

Q: Will it hurt after getting the Oligio treatment? Is there a recovery period needed?

A: Most people feel a warm sensation, which is much more comfortable than Thermage – and this is also Oligio’s biggest selling point. There may be a slight redness within 1-2 hours after the procedure, but there will be no swelling or bruising, and you can go out for shopping on the same day.

Q: Is it necessary to make an appointment? Can I just show up without an appointment?

A: It is highly recommended to make a reservation in advance – especially for popular clinics like DAN-A. For Director Pei’s schedule, it is usually necessary to book 1–2 weeks in advance. KLEAM and LIJIN may have available slots on the same day, but it is still safer to book in advance on weekends. You can check the schedules of various clinics through BeautsGO.

Q: How to choose between Oligio and Ultherapy HIFU?

A: Oligio acts on the dermis (at a shallower layer) and primarily focuses on skin tightening and collagen regeneration; Ultherapy, on the other hand, targets the SMAS fascia layer (at a deeper layer) and is mainly used for lifting effects. If your main concern is loose skin or enlarged Pores, Oligio is the better choice; if you have significant sagging or blurred contours, Ultherapy is more suitable. Many people combine both treatments for even better results.

Q: How many sessions of Oligio treatment are needed at one time?

A: For a full face treatment, it usually costs 300 injections; for a full face plus neck treatment, it costs 600 injections. Some clinics offer a partial treatment option with 150 injections (only targeting the chin line), at a price of around ₩400,000 to ₩500,000. It is recommended to start with a full face treatment of 300 injections for the first time. Don’t try to do too much at once – the collagen-enhancing effects of Oligio are most noticeable 1 to 3 months after the procedure.

Q: What should foreigners consider when undergoing Oligio treatment?

A: There are three key points to consider: ① Make sure that either a doctor or a technician is performing the procedure, as this can affect both the cost and the outcome; ② Ask clearly whether the price includes taxes and all related fees; ③ Stop using products containing retinol or alpha hydroxy acids one week before the procedure to avoid excessive skin sensitivity.
