🔥 For the same Titanium Lifting procedure, Taiwan charges me 120,000 yuan, while South Korea charges less than half of that amount.
“How much did the Titanium Lifting procedure you had in Taiwan cost you?” A friend sent me a screenshot of a bill on Line – it was from a clinic in Taipei, and the cost for one session of Titanium Lifting was 120,000 Taiwanese dollars. I sent her a quote from Theia Clinic, and she remained silent for a full ten minutes before responding, “I’m flying next month.”
This is not some hidden price from a unscrupulous clinic; it is the official pricing list of Theia Clinic (Theia Dermatology) for 2026, clearly stated in black and white on the consultation form. The prices for Titanium Lifting, the American version of ultrasound therapy, and Sofwave are all openly disclosed this time. Once you compare them with the market rates in Taiwan, you will understand why so many people are willing to take a flight just to receive these treatments there.

🏫 Basic Information about Theia Clinic
Theia Dermatology is located at 14th and 15th floors, 407 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul. It is considered one of the high-end clinics in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry. The team of attending physicians includes Director Kim Hyung-do, as well as doctors Kim Jin-ik, Park Ji-soo, Kim Kun-hyung, and Jung Jin-ju, each specializing in different areas.
Theia is positioned as a high-end Dermatology clinic, with facilities, services, and technology all at top-notch levels. Consequently, its prices are also higher than those of ordinary dermatology clinics. However, after seeing the price comparisons below, you will realize that even including the costs of airfare and accommodation, it is still cheaper than having treatment in Taiwan 👉
💰 Complete quotation for Titanium Lifting (Important!)
Titanium Lifting is one of Theia’s most popular services. Below are the quotes for different options:
| Plan | Korean won | Approximately NTD | Taiwan reference prices |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium Lifting: 80KJ (Director Kim Hyung-do) | ₩3,500,000 to ₪,500,000 | NT$85,000 to 110,000 | NT$180,000 to 250,000 |
| Titanium Lifting: 60KJ (Director Kim Hyung-do) | ₩2,800,000 to ₩3,500,000 | NT$68,000 to 85,000 | NT$150,000 to 200,000 |
| Titanium Lifting 40KJ (Basic Version) | ₩2,000,000 to 2,500,000 | NT$49,000 to 61,000 | NT$100,000 to 130,000 |
💡 Key point: Even if you choose the most expensive option, which costs approximately NT$85,000–110,000 at Theia, the same procedure in Taiwan would cost NT$180,000–250,000. This represents a price difference of 50–60%! Adding in the cost of airfare (around NT$8,000–15,000) and accommodation for 3 nights (about NT$6,000–12,000), the total cost is still significantly lower than in Taiwan.
📏 The price difference between the director and other doctors: Director Kim Hyung-do’s Titanium Lifting services are approximately 20-30% more expensive than those provided by other doctors such as Kim Jin-ik and Park Ji-soo, due to his greater experience and the high demand for his appointments. If your budget is limited, choosing one of these other doctors is also a good option, as their skills are just as reliable.
From my own experience, if you are having Titanium Lifting for the first time, Dr. Kim Jin-ik is a great choice. His technique is very delicate, and the swelling after the procedure is also relatively minimal. After coming back, I compared the results with those of several friends who had undergone Titanium Lifting in Taiwan. They spent nearly 200,000 Taiwanese dollars, while my cost (including airfare and accommodation) was less than 150,000 yuan. The difference lies in the more advanced equipment in South Korea; Theia uses the latest generation of Titanium Lifting machines, which offer more precise settings.
Another combination that I highly recommend is Titanium Lifting combined with Rejuran HB Glow Toner. Applying Rejuran during the post-treatment recovery period can significantly speed up the skin’s healing process. In Taiwan, this treatment usually costs around NT$250,000 or more, but at Theia, it costs less than NT$180,000, saving you nearly NT$70,000 – definitely a great deal.

💰 Pricing for the American version of the Ultherapy ultrasound device
The American version of the ultrasonic knife is also a popular product offered by Theia, and its prices are as follows:
| Plan | Korean won | Approximately NT dollars | Taiwan reference prices |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full face + jawline treatment | ₩1,800,000 to 2,500,000 | NT$44,000 to 61,000 | NT$80,000 to 120,000 |
| Full face (excluding the jaw) | ₩1,500,000 to 2,000,000 | NT$37,000 to 49,000 | NT$70,000 to 100,000 |
| Eye Care Section | ₩800,000 to 1,200,000 | NT$19,000 – 29,000 | NT$40,000 to 60,000 |
The price of the American version of the ultrasonic knife at Theia is much more affordable compared to Titanium Lifting. The cost for a full face treatment ranges from NT$44,000 to NT$61,000, which is nearly half the price in Taiwan. Many customers choose to combine Titanium Lifting with the American version of the ultrasonic knife for more comprehensive results.
🤔 How to choose between Titanium Lifting and the American version of the ultrasonic knife?
- 🔥 Titanium Lifting: Provides higher energy and deeper penetration, ideal for those who need significant lifting effects (aged 30 and above, with obvious sagging).
- ✨ The American version of the ultrasonic knife: gentle and precise, with a short recovery period – ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity or for first-time users.
- 🤝 Combined use: Titanium Lifting for in-depth tightening, and ultrasonic knife for treating superficial areas such as the under-eye area and corners of the mouth – for the most comprehensive results.

📌 Taiwan vs South Korea: A comparison of the total costs of Theia services
Many people are concerned that traveling to South Korea for cosmetic procedures “makes the whole experience less cost-effective when you include airfare and accommodation costs.” Let me help you do the math:
| Cost items | South Korea Theia (Titanium Lifting with 80KJ energy) | Taiwan clinics |
|---|---|---|
| Project costs | NT$85,000 to 110,000 | NT$180,000 to 250,000 |
| air ticket | NT$8,000-15,000 | — |
| Accommodation (for 3 nights) | NT$6,000–12,000 | — |
| Translation services | Free of charge (via s-sourire) | — |
| In total | NT$99,000 to 137,000 | NT$180,000 to 250,000 |
Doing Titanium Lifting in South Korea can save you at least NT$43,000 to NT$113,000. Even if you don’t go shopping or buy anything, the difference in cost alone for the medical treatment is enough to cover all your travel expenses. This is also the reason why more and more Taiwanese people are choosing to go to South Korea for medical treatments.
👩💼 Every time I go to South Korea for medical beauty treatments, I always arrange a three-day, two-night trip. On the first day, I consult with professionals and undergo the treatment; on the second day, I rest and shop around; on the third day, I head back home. In fact, the whole process is not as troublesome as I imagined it to be. Especially if you add me on WeChat at s-sourire, someone will take care of all the arrangements, from picking you up at the airport, providing consultation and translation services, to following up after the treatment – you don’t need to worry about anything at all.
📦 Pre-departure tips: It is recommended that you make reservations two to three weeks in advance, especially for Titanium Lifting treatments with Director Kim Hyung-do, as the waiting time usually exceeds one month. Don’t forget to bring your passport, credit card, and post-treatment care products (such as repair masks and sunscreen). Skincare products available at duty-free shops in South Korea are also cheaper than those in Taiwan, so you can take the opportunity to stock up.
Of course, if time does not allow it, you can also consider other Dermatology clinics in South Korea that offer more affordable services. We have a comprehensive guide to clinics on our website for your reference.
📝 Frequently Asked Questions about Prices
Q: Can the price be negotiated? A: The pricing in
South Korea’s medical beauty industry is relatively transparent, so it’s generally not possible to negotiate the price. However, if multiple treatments are scheduled at the same time, the clinic director may offer a discount on the package. It is recommended to ask directly during the consultation, “Is there any discount if I undergo treatments A and B simultaneously?”
Q: Can I use a credi
t card to pay? A: Yes. Theia accepts Visa, Mastercard, JCB, and UnionPay cards. Some services also support installment payments.
Q: Why is the price given as a range rather than a fixed amount? A: The actual price d
epends on your specific circumstances, such as the condition of your skin, the number of hairs you wish to have implanted, and whether additional areas need treatment. After the consultation, the director will provide you with an accurate quote.
Q: Are there any discounts for special
events? A: Theia occasionally offers promotional discounts during holidays such as South Korea’s Thanksgiving Day or at the end of the year, with discounts ranging from 10% to 20%. You can add WeChat ID s-sourire to receive the latest information about these promotions in a timely manner.
Q: How much should the deposit be?
A: Generally, 20-30% of the total project cost needs to be paid as a deposit. If the reservation is cancelled more than 3 days in advance, the deposit will be fully refunded.
Q: How long does it take to see the results after Titanium Lifting?
A: The effects of Titanium Lifting are gradual, and the best results are usually seen around one to three months after the procedure. There may be some slight swelling immediately after the surgery, but this will subside within three to five days. Personally, I noticed that my facial contours started to look firmer by the second week, and my friends also said that I looked much more energized.
Q: What precautions should be taken after the procedure
? A: For one week after the procedure, avoid saunas, intense exercise, and direct sunlight. In the first three days, you can use ice packs to reduce swelling; it is also recommended to use healing masks and moisturizing essences to accelerate recovery. Additionally, do not apply makeup for the first week after the procedure to allow your skin to rest properly.
