By 變美體驗官 Actually, I first noticed Barog because someone mentioned on REDnote 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 always equals poor quality.” But after experiencing it myself, I understood why it had received so many positive reviews.
Why did I choose the Barog Dermatology branch in Jiangnan?
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 pushed upon me 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’s Jiangnan branch, however, the director did it himself.
The director was in his thirties and looked quite busy. Before starting the treatment, he gently examined my skin with his fingers and marked the areas that needed attention. This seemed like a simple gesture, but for me, it was the first time a director took the time to understand my skin type before starting the procedure, rather than just following a standard routine.
Is the energy of the ultrasonic therapy really strong enough? My experience proves it.
This is the part I really want to clarify. When it comes to ultrasonic therapy, people often wonder if “cheap options necessarily mean lower energy 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 “there’s a hip bone here; I’ll let you know before proceeding,” which helped reduce my anxiety.
The entire process took about 60 minutes. When I looked in the mirror after finishing, my face was slightly red, but it went away 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 lower price mean inferior quality? I don’t think so.
When it comes to prices, this is certainly a point that everyone cares about. The price of Barog’s Super Lin knife at its Jiangnan branch is indeed considered mid-to-low in the local market. If we compare it to those customized measuring tools 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 quality. 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—it has nothing to do with the price. At Barog, I asked the director, “Do you reduce the intensity just because the price is lower?” She answered clearly and directly: “No, the intensity is set according to your skin type. Reducing it would be meaningless.” I really learned something from that answer.
In fact, my actual experience after the treatment confirmed this. 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 information before getting started. |
| Suitable candidates | People with loose skin, a double chin, or sagging jawlines. |
| Time to see results | You will immediately feel a tightening effect, but the full results will 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 Naver reservations require a Korean 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. On this platform, the Barog Jiangnan store is listed, and the entire process can be booked in Chinese. There is also Chinese customer service throughout the process to assist with booking the treatment, explaining 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 the director performs the treatment personally.” Once you arrive at the clinic, everything goes smoothly, so there’s no need for additional communication regarding the appointment.
Before and after getting the ultrasonic laser treatment, I would like to remind you especially
- Don’t drink alcohol the day before: alcohol can affect stress 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 in 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, apply sunscreen regularly, especially in the first week to prevent spots. Make sure to apply it before going out.
- Wait at least 1 week before getting the hyaluronic acid injection again. If you have other scheduled treatments, consider the timing carefully.
- Drink plenty of water and minimize makeup use in the days after the procedure. Light makeup and adequate hydration will help your skin recover.

A: To be honest, it might be a bit lower for first-time users. The effects of the Super Lin knife are gradual; you’ll see the most noticeable results 2–3 months later. Don’t expect dramatic changes right after the procedure.

Summary
Before visiting the Barog Jiangnan branch, I was a bit skeptical about the idea that “cheapness equals poor quality.” I had experienced this several times when I carelessly forgot to bring my money and ended up not getting what I needed. But after trying it out myself, my opinion changed—the director personally operated the equipment, ensured even energy distribution, explained the treatment in detail before starting, and didn’t try to push any extra services. Having all these features in one place is actually better than what many friends recommend these days.
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 good 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 perfectly.
