If you are anxious about cheek laxity and a blurring jawline, but worried that RF lifting will be too painful or require long recovery, Korea’s COOLFASE Queen RF might put your mind at ease. It uses non‑invasive high‑frequency energy to reach the deep dermis while simultaneously protecting the epidermis with contact cooling, making skin tightening nearly painless with no downtime. From localised enhancement to full‑face and neck plans, options are flexible – results are felt immediately and improve month by month. This article organises the key information on suitability, cost, and longevity, so you can make a confident decision with a complete picture.
COOLFASE Queen RF is a non‑invasive monopolar RF tightening and lifting treatment that uses 6.78MHz high‑frequency energy to precisely heat the deep dermis (up to 4.3mm), causing immediate collagen fibre contraction. At the same time, the handpiece features a patented DCC™ (Direct Contact Cooling) system that continuously cools the epidermis during deep heating, providing a comfortable “internal heat + external cool” experience. This thermal‑cooling synergy effectively stimulates neogenesis of collagen and elastin, improving laxity and wrinkles from the ground up.
COOLFASE Queen RF is especially suitable for:
Absolute contraindications: Pregnancy or breastfeeding; wounds or infections in the treatment area; keloid tendency; implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers.
COOLFASE Queen RF is typically priced by shot count in Korea, with different counts corresponding to different scopes and effects. Below are common plans and reference prices from Gangnam dermatology clinics (prices in KRW only):
| Treatment Plan | Applicable Area | Shot Count | Reference Price (KRW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local Enhancement | Periorbital, nasolabial folds, glabella | 100 shots | ₩250,000 |
| Full Face Basic | Full face (including jawline) | 300 shots | ₩675,000 |
| Full Face + Neck | Full face + neck | 600 shots | ₩1,260,000 |
| Full Face + Neck + Contour Refinement | Full face, neck, jawline | 900 shots | ₩1,850,000 |
| Ultimate Full Course | Face, neck, periorbital, contour | 1200 shots | ₩2,400,000 |

Compared with other monopolar RF devices, COOLFASE‘s core advantages are the DCC™ cooling system for extremely low pain and a more accessible price point. If you seek stronger lifting and can tolerate higher pain, Thermage FLX may be considered; if you prefer comfort and value for money, COOLFASE is an ideal choice.
Step 1 – Consultation & assessment: The Korean physician evaluates skin condition, laxity, and contraindications.
Step 2 – Cleansing & preparation: After makeup removal, a specialised conductive gel is applied. No anaesthetic cream is needed.
Step 3 – Procedure: The handpiece delivers 6.78MHz energy shot by shot, with DCC™ cooling simultaneously – the sensation is warmth rather than burning pain. The session takes about 30‑60 minutes.
Step 4 – Post‑care: Ice packs are applied for 10‑15 minutes to reduce mild redness. You can wash your face and apply makeup on the same day, but avoid high‑temperature environments and irritating skincare products for one week.
Immediate effect: Dermal collagen contracts during the procedure, giving instant firming to the jawline and nasolabial folds.
Progressive effect: New collagen and elastin accumulate from about 4 weeks onward, with elasticity and fullness continuing to improve, peaking at 1‑3 months.
A single session typically lasts 6‑12 months, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Regular maintenance (approximately every 2‑3 months) can prolong the effect.
Q1: Is COOLFASE Queen RF painful?
A: The vast majority of users report almost no pain. The DCC™ cooling system cools the epidermis with each shot, providing an “internal heat + external cool” sensation. Most people complete the treatment comfortably without anaesthetic.
Q2: How soon will I see results?
A: There is an immediate effect right after treatment, and collagen neogenesis peaks at about 4 weeks, with results becoming naturally more visible day by day.
Q3: How much does COOLFASE cost in Korea?
A: Gangnam clinics price by shot count: 300 shots ~₩675,000, 600 shots ~₩1,260,000, 900 shots ~₩1,850,000. Exact costs depend on the clinic’s plan.
Q4: What is the difference between COOLFASE and Thermage?
A: Both are monopolar RF, but COOLFASE features DCC™ direct contact cooling for extremely low pain; Thermage FLX offers stronger lifting but with more noticeable pain. COOLFASE is ideal for those who fear pain and prefer comfort.
Q5: How long is recovery? Can I go back to work normally?
A: There is virtually no downtime – only mild redness that subsides within 48 hours. You can apply makeup and go to work on the same day without affecting daily life.
COOLFASE Queen RF is non‑invasive and has a high safety profile, but mild side effects may still occur:
Rational advice: Choose a Korean clinic with KFDA‑certified equipment and an experienced physician. Be honest about your medical history and allergies before treatment. Aesthetic results vary by individual; always rely on the physician’s in‑person assessment.
