About
Hyper Knife 7 is a professional radio frequency device developed and sold by Wamu Corporation. It warms the body using 1 MHz bipolar radio frequency while loosening tissue with a specialized handpiece. Not only in aesthetic salons, but also in judo-therapy clinics (seikotsuin), orthopedic clinics, bonesetting clinics, and acupuncture clinics, it is adopted as an option separate from health-insurance treatment fees (Japan) as aSelf-pay (non-insurance) menuIt has been adopted for such purposes. Operated by trained practitioners, it is not a medical device.
Issue & Answer
Health-insurance treatment fees (Japan) only cover fractures, dislocations, bruises, and sprains. This device allows clinics to address patient concerns outside those categories.
Limited health-insurance coverage is capping revenue
Meeting non-insurance needs with self-pay (non-insurance) menus.Chronic tension, posture, postpartum shape, and body lines. Consultations in your clinic can be turned into dedicated menus where your clinic sets the price and duration.
Once injuries recover, clinic visits end
Create a reason for clients to keep coming back.Even after the session, the relationship continues through "warm and loosen care." This serves as a great incentive for their next booking.
Everything relies solely on the director's manual technique
Increase the steps that can be delegated to staff.The equipment handles warming. The director can dedicate time to examinations, explanations, and clinic management.
Unable to establish pricing justification for self-pay (non-insurance) menus
Set pricing that can be easily explained by "device + time."Compared to manual-only menus, it makes it easier to explain the session steps and pricing rationale to patients.
Difficult to promote due to advertising regulations
Developing the service through in-clinic guidance and recurring bookings.Signage and flyers cannot display machine names or pricing. The manufacturer guides you on designing internal promotions starting with existing patients.
Warm10 Minutes Before Manual Technique
Before the session, the shoulders, back, and lower back are warmed with Hyper Knife 7. The 1 MHz bipolar radio frequency generates less waveform noise than conventional output formats and is designed to distribute heat broadly and thoroughly. Beginning manual techniques on pre-warmed areas also reduces the physical burden on the practitioner.
ReleaseWhile warming, simultaneously
With its specialized handpiece, it warms and loosens. The lightweight handpiece is designed to minimize fatigue even when handling many clients in a day. The comfortable, relaxing sensation during the session encourages repeat bookings.
DelegateProcedures staff can handle
Because the device performs the warming step, variations between practitioners are minimized. Through initial training upon adoption and regular workshops, the manufacturer supports a framework where even new staff can easily learn the salon treatment flow.
Posture
Used as a step to warm and loosen before manual techniques. Can be added as a 10–15 minute option to existing self-pay (non-insurance) menus.
Body Care
A frequently consulted area for clinics with many female patients. Offered as self-pay body care separate from insurance-covered treatments.
Relaxation
As a course that warms and loosens the shoulders, back, and waist. Clients can experience a refreshed feeling after the session.
For Men
For caring for desk workers and standing professionals. You can configure short menus that are easily embraced by men.

| Course | Target Area | Sample pricing |
|---|---|---|
| 30 min | 2 areas (e.g., abdomen & waist, shoulders & back) | ¥5,000 |
| 60 min | 4 areas | ¥9,000 |
| 75 min | 5 areas | ¥11,500 |

*This is an example based on fee samples of Hyper Knife self-pay (non-insurance) menus published by judo-therapy clinics (seikotsuin) and Wamu's advisory guidelines. Clinics can freely set their own fees.
8 / monthsessions as a benchmark (based on ¥40,000/month and ¥5,000 gross profit per session)
If 10% of 80 existing patients use the service once a month, that equals 8 sessions per month. The foolproof approach is to first evaluate the volume of relevant patient inquiries in your clinic.
Matters that can be advertised under the Judo Therapists Act (Japan) are strictly limited (violations carry a fine of up to ¥300,000).

The Hyper Knife series has been adopted across Japan by judo-therapy clinics (seikotsuin), bonesetting clinics, chiropractic clinics, and acupuncture clinics, where it is used to warm tissues prior to manual techniques and as part of self-pay (non-insurance) menus for body care. There are also cases of medical clinics using it for self-pay aesthetic menus. If requested, we can share operational case studies from facilities in the same industry.
The main unit price varies depending on adoption methods and contract terms, so we provide individualized quotes. In addition to direct purchase, adoption via subscription (monthly plan) is also available.
