Laser Hair Removal
If you are deciding based on the price of beard laser hair removal, <Important>
This is a photo taken with the consent of a client who actually received treatment at Ulsan Snow Clinic, captured under the same conditions without any retouching.
All skin procedures may have side effects such as inflammation, pigmentation, and redness.
Hello. This is Ulsan Snow Clinic.
“Why is the price of GentleMax so different at each hospital?”
"It would be advantageous to go to a cheaper place, right?"
If you can receive beard removal at a good price with quality equipment,
there seems to be no particular reason to refuse.
However,
Why is the price different for the same equipment?
There may be those who are curious.
If you cannot find the reason and
choose based on a cheap event, what kind of results will you face..
I think I know.
GentleMax Pro Plus?
I’m not sure if it’s good..
It’s always unfortunate to hear such things.
Equipment? Good is good.
Price? It would be nice if it’s cheap.
However, if 'this' does not satisfy you, then just
All show and no substance
That's all it is.
For those about to undergo laser hair removal, just considering the 3 key points will
make it a choice you won't regret.
Applicable to any medical institution nationwide,
Please focus for just 3 minutes and read to the end.
1. Equipment
“Equipment? Aren't all dermatology clinics the same?”
At the medical institution where I worked before opening my clinic,
GentleMax Pro Plus,
Apollo Elite Plus,
Clarity 2
etc.
I have actually used representative hair removal devices.
(Of course, the devices above are also expensive medical equipment, costing around 100 million won.)
At that moment, I definitely felt it.
Even with the same laser,
output stability
beam uniformity
irradiation sensitivity...
It really is different
So when I opened the clinic,
I only selected equipment that I could understand and adjust myself.
The cost of the equipment alone exceeded 700 million won,
and now the total investment in equipment has surpassed 1 billion won.
(The hair removal equipment alone is over 400 million won.)
According to the Medical Device Act, I cannot mention that any specific equipment is better.
However, if I were to say there is equipment with a comparative advantage that is unbeatable,
I boldly invest.
There is only one reason.
‘The prerequisite for proper hair removal'
That's why.
A craftsman does not blame the tools...
But in dermatology, it's an exception.
If the tools are not good, even the craftsman cannot help it.
Just like a compact car cannot catch up with a sports car.
2. Equipment is a tool, but the important part is the person
“So can I decide based on the equipment?”
Unfortunately, no..
And every time that happens, I feel frustrated inside.
Equipment?
As I mentioned, it is important.
But if the equipment accounts for half of the results,
the other half comes from the 'practitioner'
Energy Intensity (J/cm²)
Spot Size (mm)
Pulse Width (ms)
Irradiation Angle, Overlap Rate,
Handling of Curved Areas...
Considering all of this
Skin Tone
Hair Thickness
Treatment Area
Irritation Response
It should be assessed differently for each person.
This is called
Customized Treatment
That's right.
If you do not consider the different characteristics of each person,
Uniformly
applying strong treatment can cause burns,
and if you apply weak treatment indiscriminately, the hair remains unchanged.
In other words, to perform the procedure 'gently' for reduced effectiveness but safely,
Excellent results + safe procedures = know-how
is necessary.
Therefore,
before receiving laser hair removal,
it is highly recommended to check whether the medical staff has sufficient experience and know-how in performing the procedure
without fail.
3. Price
"Isn't it good if it's cheaper?"
"You can just get more treatments."
You might think that way.
Of course, reasonable spending is important.
But it's worth considering.
A: 10 sessions of hair removal, 30% effectiveness, 400,000 won
B: 10 sessions of hair removal, 80% effectiveness, 800,000 won
On the surface, B may seem more expensive.
But what if you need to receive B again after getting A?
In fact, starting cheap and getting it done twice
might be more expensive than getting it done correctly in one go.
This raises a question.
"Can't we do it thoroughly even if it's cheaper?"
So the staff also
"Doctor, what if we also sell it cheaply in bulk?"
make such suggestions.
Bulk selling..
On the surface, it looks plausible.
However, inevitably
the procedure must be completed quickly at the same time,
and to meet that condition,
the investigation time must be increased,
it must be done sparsely,
and without sufficient cooling, there should be no side effects, so the intensity must be very low.
In simple terms,
it means lowering the price at the expense of effectiveness.
Of course,
cheap = no effect
expensive = good effect
cannot be applied as a formula.
However, I hope you do not make decisions based solely on price and end up regretting it.
<Conclusion>
(1) What equipment to use for the procedure
(2) Do they have sufficient experience and know-how?
(3) Are customized procedures being performed?
Before deciding based solely on the price of laser hair removal,
if you consider these three factors first,
I believe you will achieve satisfactory results in terms of 'safety and cost-effectiveness'.
Thank you for reading this long text.
