From 300 to 900 Shots: Planning Your XERF Treatment Budget in Gangnam

Planning a XERF budget in Gangnam comes down to one variable: shot count. At Ode Clinic, a dermatology clinic near Gangnam Station, DEEP Mode XERF costs ₩1,000,000 (approx. $720) for 300 shots, ₩1,900,000 for 600, and ₩2,750,000 for 900, all VAT excluded, with the count fixed by the doctor after a 1:1 consultation based on age and degree of sagging. Eye XERF adds ₩1,100,000 for 300 shots, and combination plans cap out at ₩3,700,000 (~$2,660). Because the tiers are published, the budget question can be modeled before the consultation ever happens; USD equivalents are approximate and follow the exchange rate.

300, 600, or 900: What Each Tier Buys

The three facial tiers are not arbitrary marketing steps — they correspond to how much sagging needs correction, and the pricing curve rewards volume. The table breaks each tier down to its unit economics.

Plan	Price (VAT excluded)	Approx. cost per shot
DEEP Mode XERF 300 shots	₩1,000,000	~₩3,333
DEEP Mode XERF 600 shots	₩1,900,000	~₩3,167
DEEP Mode XERF 900 shots	₩2,750,000	~₩3,056
Eye XERF 300 shots	₩1,100,000	~₩3,667

Matching tier to age and sagging

Shot count in the 300–900 range is determined by age and the degree of sagging, and it is a clinical call, not a self-service menu pick: the number is finalized only after the treating doctor’s consultation. XERF’s typical candidates — nasolabial folds, sagging mouth corners, a loosening jawline, or anyone wanting elasticity and sagging addressed together with less pain and downtime — span a wide severity range, which is exactly why the tier structure exists.

The marginal cost of stepping up

The increments are where the economics get interesting. Moving from 300 to 600 shots costs an additional ₩900,000, pricing the second block of 300 shots at about ₩3,000 each — below the first block’s ~₩3,333. Moving from 600 to 900 costs ₩850,000 more, or roughly ₩2,833 per additional shot. Each step up is cheaper per unit than the last, so a patient whose assessment lands near a tier boundary loses little by taking the doctor’s higher recommendation.

The tier ladder embeds a quantity discount of roughly 8% per shot from the smallest plan to the largest. The clinically indicated count should drive the decision, but the pricing structure means under-treating to save money buys the most expensive energy on the menu.

Eye XERF and the Combination Plans

The eye area is priced as its own program, and the published combinations bundle it with each facial tier at a measurable discount — an arrangement worth modeling before choosing a standalone plan.

Why the eye program carries a premium

Eye XERF at ₩1,100,000 (~$790) for 300 shots implies about ₩3,667 per shot, roughly 10% above the facial 300-shot rate. The premium attaches to concentrated work around the eye area rather than broad facial coverage. Patients weighing it alone should note that its price sits between the facial 300- and 600-shot tiers, so the real question is usually whether to bundle rather than whether to substitute.

The bundle arithmetic

Bought separately, each pairing costs more than its published combination: DEEP 300 + Eye 300 lists at ₩1,900,000 against a ₩2,100,000 separate total (₩200,000 saved), DEEP 600 + Eye 300 at ₩2,800,000 against ₩3,000,000 (₩200,000 saved), and DEEP 900 + Eye 300 at ₩3,700,000 against ₩3,850,000 (₩150,000 saved). Notably, the DEEP 300 + Eye 300 combination costs exactly what DEEP 600 costs alone — ₩1,900,000 — so a patient at that price point is effectively choosing between doubling facial coverage and adding dedicated eye-area work.

The combinations are priced to make the eye add-on a marginal decision worth ₩150,000–₩200,000 in savings. When two plans share one price tag, as DEEP 600 and DEEP 300 + Eye 300 do, the doctor’s assessment of where the sagging actually is should break the tie.

How the Count Is Set and When Results Arrive

A shot-count budget is only a hypothesis until the consultation. The process at this clinic is structured so the final number emerges from assessment rather than from a price negotiation.

Inside the consultation

Every visit — even for small treatments — starts with a 1:1 consultation with the doctor who performs the procedure, followed by a re-consultation to finalize the plan before anything begins. The doctor works from 2D/3D skin-diagnostic photography for before-and-after comparison, and the procedure itself takes place in a private single-person room. Sessions run longer than shallow-mode alternatives because the clinic performs XERF exclusively in DEEP mode, the only mode that generates the 6.78MHz + 2MHz dual-frequency energy.

The results timeline and the aftercare line item

Changes can begin soon after the session, and the maximum effect arrives around two to three months post-treatment — a timeline worth knowing before judging whether a given shot count “worked.” Occasional burns or blisters are possible side effects, and follow-up care at the treating clinic matters for preventing pigmentation, so the customized post-procedure care step and access to the clinic afterward belong in the plan, not just the initial price.

Shot count is a clinical output with a financial input: the assessment sets the number, and the published tiers translate it into won. Patients who arrive knowing the per-shot math can spend the consultation on the clinical question instead of the arithmetic.
