BEFORE YOU PAY · 7 CARDS1/8
WHAT YOU’RE BUYING2/8You’re not buying a machine. You’re buying lines.
HIFU works by placing tiny thermal coagulation points under the skin. The count is the treatment — and in Korea a face is commonly quoted anywhere from 300 to 1,200 lines.
QUESTION 13/8“Can I see the cartridge before it’s opened?”
Cartridges are single-use by design and carry a limited shot count. Refilled or refurbished ones deliver unpredictable energy — that’s a weak result or a skin injury, not a bargain.
QUESTION 24/8“Can we verify the device together?”
Genuine systems and transducers can be checked on the spot — an NFC tag on the machine, a QR code on the sealed box. A clinic with nothing to hide will do it with you.
QUESTIONS 3 & 45/8“How many lines, and who is holding the handpiece?”
Get the line count in writing before you pay. And ask who performs it — the doctor you consulted, or someone else.
QUESTION 56/8“Is lifting even my problem?”
HIFU tightens. It does not refill. If what you see in the mirror is lost volume rather than laxity, more lifting is the wrong answer — and the most expensive way to learn it.
QUESTION 67/8“What happens if it doesn’t work?”
Ask about the follow-up window, the reassessment, the plan B. The answer tells you whether you’re buying a session or a relationship.
