By 變美體驗官 Actually, I first noticed Barog because someone on REDnote mentioned that “ultrasonic therapy is cheap, but the experience is definitely the best.” To be honest, I was quite skeptical about this review—before going in, I wondered if “cheapness would mean poor quality.” But after experiencing it myself, I understood why it had received so many positive reviews.
Why I chose the Barog Dermatology Jiangnan Branch
Barog has several locations in the Jiangnan area, and I went to the Jiangnan branch. It’s only about a 10-minute walk from Jiangnan Station, so it’s easy to find. The first impression upon entering was that the place was very clean and tidy—not the kind of cluttered or intimidating decor you might expect. Instead, it felt professional and welcoming, despite being small.
I expressed my interest in ultrasonic therapy, and both before and after the treatment, the consultant explained to me the measurement range of the equipment, the energy settings, and how many sessions would be needed. No unnecessary fees were mentioned right away, which really impressed me.
The fact that the director personally operated the machine put me at ease.
Only when I entered the treatment room did I realize it was the director himself operating the machine. I was quite surprised—many clinics invest heavily in advanced equipment, but it’s not common for the director to handle it themselves. At Barog Jiangnan Branch, however, the director did it himself.
The director was in his thirties and looked quite experienced. Before starting the treatment, he carefully examined my skin and marked the areas that needed attention. This seemed like a simple gesture, but for me, it was the first time that a director took the time to understand my skin type before proceeding with the treatment, rather than just following a standard routine.
Is the energy of the ultrasonic machine really strong enough? My experience proved it.
This is the point I really want to clarify. Regarding the ultrasonic therapy, people often wonder if “cheap options necessarily mean lower energy levels and weaker results.”
I realized it right from the first minute of the treatment. When the energy level was high, the heat sensation was very noticeable, especially around the jawline and chin. For someone doing this treatment for the first time, it might be a bit uncomfortable, but the director at Barog explained things along the way, such as where the hip bone is located, which helped reduce my concerns.
The entire process took about 60 minutes. When I looked in the mirror after finishing, my face was slightly red, but it faded quickly. It was actually the next day when I noticed the real effect—upon waking up and looking in the mirror, my facial contours seemed tighter, and my skin felt firmer to the touch. The results weren’t overly exaggerated or dramatically beautiful, but there was definitely a noticeable difference from before.
Does low cost mean inferior quality? I don’t think so.
When it comes to prices, this is certainly a point that everyone pays close attention to. The price of Barog’s Super Lin knife at its Jiangnan branch is indeed considered moderate to low compared to the market in that area. If we compare it to those customized probes that cost 600,000 to 700,000 Korean won each, Barog’s pricing is indeed reasonable.
But what I want to say is: low price doesn’t necessarily mean low effectiveness. These two factors aren’t directly related. The intensity of the treatment is determined by the clinic director based on your skin type, treatment needs, and the condition of your skin surface—it has nothing to do with the price. At Barog, I asked the director, “Do you adjust the intensity just because of the price?” She answered directly and clearly: “No, the intensity is set according to your skin type. If we reduced it just to save money, it would make no sense.” I really learned something from that answer.
In fact, my actual experience after the treatment confirmed this point. The next morning, when I checked my skin, it felt strong and healthy, which indicated that the intensity of the treatment was within an acceptable range.
Intensity, number of treatments, price—let’s clarify these numbers for you.
Many people get confused when they see ads for the Super Lin knife, so let me help clarify some things for you:
| Treatment | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Ultrasound device models | Ulthera is a model that has been widely recognized and has undergone the most clinical studies; Barog uses the official version of this device. |
| Energy range | Typically, it ranges from 3.0 J/cm² to 4.0 J/cm²; the doctor will determine the appropriate setting based on the type of skin. |
| Number of treatments | 300 treatments are commonly included in introductory packages. Just make sure you understand the relevant details before being overwhelmed by the numbers. |
| Suitable candidates | People with loose skin, a double chin, or sagging jawlines. |
| Time to see results | There is an immediate sense of tightness, and the full effects usually become apparent within 1 to 3 months. |
| The results are maintained. | Depending on individual circumstances and daily skincare routines, the effects can last for over a year. |
These are basic guidelines for people who have never used the Super Lin laser before. From consulting with specialists to having the treatment performed by the director himself, Barog has a habit of providing clear and detailed information, which I highly appreciate.
How do foreigners make appointments at Barog? Use BeautsGO—it’s the most popular way.
Actually, it’s not very easy for Chinese tourists to schedule appointments at Barog. The official website is entirely in Korean, and using Naver for reservations also requires a Korean mobile phone number for verification. If you’re not sure how well you understand Korean, communication on-site might be a bit difficult.
I used the BeautsGO app to make my appointment. The Barog Jiangnan store is listed on this platform, and you can book the entire process in Chinese. There is also Chinese customer service throughout the process to assist you with selecting treatments, explaining your skin type requirements, confirming the time, and even handling special requests like “I want to have 300 sessions of the Super Lin laser; please ensure that the director personally performs the treatment.” Once you arrive at the clinic, everything goes smoothly, so you don’t need to worry about additional communication regarding the appointment.
Before and after undergoing the Super Lin laser treatment, I would like to remind you especially
- Don’t drink alcohol the day before: alcohol can affect your body’s response and recovery. Getting enough sleep is absolutely essential.
- Go without makeup: You need to remove your makeup before the consultation. It’s better to do it thoroughly at home before going than trying to remove it quickly on-site.
- For the next three days, avoid high temperatures: stay away from hot surfaces and water to prevent your skin from being exposed to extreme heat.
- After the procedure, use sunscreen specifically designed for the “goat” area: especially in the first week, make sure to apply it thoroughly before going out.
- Wait at least 1 week before getting the hyaluronic acid injection again: if you have other scheduled treatments during the same period, consider leaving enough time in between.
- Drink plenty of water and minimize makeup use: in the days after the procedure, avoid heavy makeup and focus on keeping your skin well-hydrated to aid recovery.

o log in to BeautsGO to check the latest promotions. Sometimes there are special discounts for foreigners; it’s recommended to check before making a reservation.
Q: If I only treat one area (the chin or jawline), will the price be much lower? A: Yes,
each area is priced separately. It’s advisable to use BeautsGO to estimate the cost two days in advance before booking.

Super Lin Knife treatment? A: Generally speaking, people over 25 can consider it. If you already have signs of skin laxity or chin lines, it’s better to start sooner rather than waiting until 30 to maintain better results.
Summary
Before visiting the Barog Jiangnan branch, I was somewhat skeptical about the idea that “cheapness equals poor quality.” I had experienced several situations where I accidentally overlooked the cost when booking services. However, after trying it out myself, my opinion changed—the director personally operated the equipment, ensured even energy distribution during the treatment, explained the benefits of the treatment in detail before starting, and didn’t try to push any additional services. Having all these features in one place actually exceeded what many friends had recommended to me in the past.
If you are planning to get the Super Lin Dao treatment at Jiangnan High Point but worry about it not being effective, Barog is definitely a viable option. Make sure to book in advance using BeautsGO and clearly state your requirements so that the Super Lin Dao treatment can be customized to suit your skin type and achieve the best results.
