The Sofwave Korea price on a first visit rests mainly on how many shots your skin needs, and the clinics listed here start from ₩590,000 before VAT. Slight laxity in one or two zones calls for fewer pulses than early jowling across the face and neck, so your skin, not the package label, sets the figure. A quote usually bundles a skin check, cooling or numbing, the treatment passes and a soothing step. Toxin, a booster or a laser booked in the same stay is normally added as its own line. The table below collects current listings from 3 clinics, all before VAT, with 10% VAT added at payment.

Price factors
What changes the price
- Laxity and age profile: slight looseness in the thirties is often planned on one or two zones, while early jowling or a softer neck in the forties and fifties tends to need more zones and a larger shot total.
- Shots written per area: a count beside each zone shows where the cost sits, and the transducer's pulse counter lets you check it.
- Extra treatments in one stay: botulinum toxin, filler, a skin booster or a laser added to the trip is billed separately, and the clinic may move some of them to another day.
- Same day or split days: spreading steps over two visits can mean a second numbing step or a short review, so ask whether that carries a charge.
- Who performs it: some clinics price differently when the treating doctor delivers every pass than when trained staff work under the doctor's supervision.
- Follow-up after you fly home: ask whether a photo review is part of the fee or a return visit is priced on its own.
- VAT: listed prices are before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment.

How the options compare
| First-visit profile | Zones usually planned | Suits | Question to raise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thirties, fine lines, slight looseness | Brow, eye area or around the mouth | A first-timer who wants texture and gradual firming | Is a smaller plan enough for my skin right now? |
| Forties, early jowling | Lower face and jawline | Someone noticing softer contours but no folds | How many shots are planned for each side of the jaw? |
| Fifties, looser neck skin | Under the chin and neck | A person who wants surface firming before deciding on deeper options | What will this session not change on my neck? |
| Sofwave plus injectables in one stay | Face zones plus separately listed injection areas | A traveler fitting several steps into one week | Which lines on the bill belong to which treatment and day? |
| Sofwave plus a skin booster or laser | Face zones plus a separate skin treatment | Someone combining firming with texture or tone work | Do these steps need a gap, and is a second visit charged? |
| Repeat session months later | Same zones or a narrower map | A returning visitor building on an earlier result | Will the plan change based on how my skin responded? |

FAQ
Questions about Sofwave in Myeongdong
Which clinics offer Sofwave in Myeongdong?
Clinics offering Sofwave in Myeongdong include RE:BERRY Clinic Myeongdong (Myeongdong Station), iD Clinic Myeongdong (Namdaemun-ro) and Lienjang Myeongdong Aesthetic Clinic (Myeongdong-gil). Each lists Sofwave on its own menu; message the clinic directly to confirm the doctor, product and current price.
Will the amount at checkout be higher than the listed figure?
Yes, the amount you pay is usually higher because listed prices are before VAT and 10% VAT is added at payment. That addition applies to every treatment on the bill, including injections or boosters booked in the same stay. Ask for the full total including VAT written out before treatment begins. A clear quote also names anything sold separately, such as aftercare products, so the figure at the desk matches what you agreed to.
Does a first Sofwave session cost more than a repeat one?
Not by rule, since most clinics price by shots and zones rather than by visit number. A first session can still come out higher if the doctor plans a wider map to judge how your skin responds. A later session may be narrower once the doctor knows which zones changed and which did not. Ask whether the clinic keeps your shot record, as it makes a repeat plan easier to compare and to check.
How does adding toxin or a booster change the bill?
Each extra treatment is normally priced as its own line, so the total rises by that item rather than by a blended package rate. Some clinics offer combined plans, but the lines inside them should still be readable. Ask which steps happen on the same day and whether a split schedule adds a numbing step or a review. Checking this early helps you decide which treatments to keep for this trip and which to leave for a later one.
How should I compare two quotes with different zone lists?
Line them up zone by zone and shot by shot, not by package name. One clinic may include the neck while another stops at the jawline, which makes a lower figure misleading. Write both plans in the same order, note which extras each includes, and add VAT to both. If a zone appears on one quote only, ask the other clinic whether it would treat that area and what the doctor thinks it needs.
Can a foreign credit card be used to settle the bill?
Most clinics that see international visitors accept major international cards, and many also take cash. Acceptance and any processing fee vary, so confirm the method before your visit. Some clinics ask for a deposit to hold a slot, with differing rules for changes or cancellation; ask for those terms in writing when you confirm.
Why might a doctor plan fewer shots than I expected?
A doctor may plan fewer shots because your laxity is slight, the skin is thin in some areas, or a zone would gain little from extra pulses. A smaller plan is not automatically a sign of a lesser treatment. Ask how the count was set and what result is expected from it. If you want more zones covered, ask whether that would help your skin or only add cost, and listen for a reason tied to your face.
Is choosing a smaller first plan a false economy?
Not necessarily, as a narrower first plan shows how your skin responds before you commit to more zones. Results build over weeks, so one visit gives an early read rather than a verdict. Evidence is indirect: no published Sofwave trial is cited here, and Suh and colleagues' 2011 study in Dermatologic Surgery used a point-focused device on Korean patients. Ask the doctor what a modest plan can change for you.
