The Harsh Truth Before the Price List Goes Public
Let’s be honest. The scariest part of going to Korea for medical aesthetics is not choosing the wrong treatment, but 【not seeing the fine print behind the price tag】. For the same treatment, a small difference in shots, a one-character brand difference, or one extra add-on can push the bill up by 【more than 30%】.
Maison De M is one of the few dermatology clinics in the Gangnam Station district that openly displays its Korean-Chinese bilingual price list at both the elevator entrance and the front desk. The prices for Dual-Hand Ultherapy, the 2nd Generation Ultherapy, Thermage, Sofwave, Rejuran, and gold microneedling can be checked the moment you walk in.
This article neither praises nor criticizes. It lays out 【the 5 key points behind the publicly displayed price list】 so you can plan your budget without guessing.
Key 1: Confirm Shots, Device Version, and Brand First
Maison De M’s anti-aging lineup ranges from 2nd Generation Ultherapy and Dual-Hand Ultherapy to Sofwave and Thermage FLX. Every price tier turns around three dimensions: 【shots × device version × whether Dual-Hand technique is applied】.
Simply seeing the four words 「2nd Generation Ultherapy」 is not enough. You have to confirm:
1. Whether it is the 【2nd Generation Ultherapy Prime Dual-Hand procedure】 or the traditional 2nd Generation Ultherapy.
2. Whether it is the 【300-shot standard version ₩900,000】 or the 【Dual-Hand advanced version ₩1,200,000】.
3. Whether it bundles 【Korean-produced skin botox, LDM, PRP】 and other value-added items.
Each layer of difference will reflect on the KRW quote. For a single treatment, the price can swing by 【₩300,000 to ₩600,000】.
Key 2: Anti-Aging Treatment Price Overview
The prices below are organized from the publicly available clinic price list (VAT excluded, exchange rate roughly ₩10,000 ≈ NT$225 for budget reference only):
| Treatment | Price (KRW) | Approx. TWD |
|---|---|---|
| 2nd Gen Dual-Hand Ultherapy 300 shots (incl. Korean skin botox) | ₩1,200,000 | about NT$ 27,000 |
| 2nd Gen Ultherapy 300 shots (incl. Korean skin botox) | ₩900,000 | about NT$ 20,000 |
| Additional 100 shots (standard) | ₩400,000 | about NT$ 9,000 |
| Sofwave 100 shots (single-session special) | ₩800,000 | about NT$ 18,000 |
| Thermage FLX 600 shots | ₩2,200,000 | about NT$ 49,000 |
| Density Alpha Korean-version Thermage 600 shots | ₩1,800,000 | about NT$ 40,000 |
| Titanium Lifting 40KJ | ₩490,000 | about NT$ 11,000 |
| ONDA 4th Generation 60KJ | ₩550,000 | about NT$ 12,000 |
| HIFU Classic Lifting 300 shots | ₩160,000 | about NT$ 3,600 |
From this table you can see that 【Dual-Hand Ultherapy vs. standard 2nd Generation Ultherapy】 differs by ₩300,000 per session, but the former provides more symmetric energy delivery and operating time for Asian facial contours, which is why the clinic actively promotes it.
Key 3: Skin Boosters & Injection Price Overview
Rejuran, Juvelook, Restylane Revive, and Juvéderm Skinvive account for nearly half of the Maison De M price list. The main pricing follows a 【single session / 3 sessions / 5 sessions】 tiered model:
| Injection Treatment | 1 session | 3 sessions | 5 sessions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rejuran Black Box 2cc | ₩250,000 | ₩660,000 | ₩1,000,000 |
| Rejuran Red Box 2cc | ₩300,000 | ₩850,000 | ₩1,200,000 |
| Rejuran White Box 1cc | ₩200,000 | — | — |
| Juvelook 3cc | ₩390,000 | ₩990,000 | ₩1,590,000 |
| Restylane Revive 1cc | ₩400,000 | — | — |
| Juvéderm Skinvive 1cc | ₩250,000 | — | — |
The tiered structure means the 【average per-session cost of a 5-session package】 is roughly 【20%–30% lower】 than buying single sessions. But before placing an order, think clearly about your skin condition and time schedule — don’t buy a large package just because 「more sessions look cheaper」.
Key 4: Gold Microneedling & Pigmentation Management
Maison De M’s other much-discussed line is the 【Gold Microneedling × Nutrient Booster combination】. The official price list shows five common combinations:
1. Gold Microneedling + Exosome 2.5cc: ₩250,000 / 650,000 / 1,000,000 (1 / 3 / 5 sessions)
2. Gold Microneedling + Rejuran S 1cc: ₩350,000 / 890,000 / 1,350,000
3. Gold Microneedling + Rejuran Black Box 2cc: ₩400,000 / 1,050,000 / 1,590,000
4. Gold Microneedling + Juvelook 3cc: ₩450,000 / 1,190,000 / 1,790,000
5. Additional acne / pore dedicated tip: + ₩20,000
For pigmentation management, Pico Toning, Clarity, and Genesis regenerative laser single sessions fall in the 【₩50,000 to ₩150,000 KRW】 range. If you also want to address acne scars, post-acne redness, and pigmentation, instead of stacking multiple procedures, ask the doctor which single laser best matches your concern.
Key 5: How the Membership Top-up Program Actually Works
The membership card at Maison De M can be shared with family and friends (up to three people). But that does not mean 【topping up automatically equals a good deal】 — calculate it clearly first:
· Top-up of ₩2,000,000: bonus ₩150,000 + 30ml repair mist
· Top-up of ₩3,000,000: bonus ₩300,000 + Rejuran mask + repair mist
· Top-up of ₩5,000,000: bonus ₩600,000 + Ridorselle skincare gift set
· Top-up of ₩7,000,000: bonus ₩1,000,000 + gift set + Rejuran mask
· Top-up of ₩10,000,000: bonus ₩2,000,000 + Rejuran 5-piece set
Members who top up ₩5,000,000 or more in a single transaction can also receive a 【10% off single-session coupon (capped at 80KJ)】 with a choice of 【ONDA / Titanium Lifting / PTING】. For short-term visitors, the only way it becomes truly worthwhile is to 【fully utilize the ₩5,000,000 within the validity period】. Visitors doing only one or two treatments are strongly advised 【not to top up just for the freebies】.
