What types of salons introduce Hyper Knife?

The breakdown of the 38 surveyed salons is: 22 body contouring salons, 11 aesthetic salons, 2 facial salons, 1 facial contouring/alignment salon, 1 total beauty salon, and 1 salon affiliated with a personal gym.

Can salons focusing primarily on facial care also adopt it?

Yes, you can. Among the salons we interviewed, some introduced it to launch new body menus while keeping facials as their main pillar, while others combined Hyper Knife EX facials with manual techniques such as Golki.

Which devices do slimming salons combine?

Among 22 body contouring salons, adoption included 13 Hyper Knife, 11 Hyper Shape, 9 Hyper Knife EX, and 9 Hyper Wave units (with some salons adopting multiple models). Many salons utilize a workflow combining the steps of warming, loosening, and tightening.

Can it be used in business formats other than personal gyms or salons?

Among our interviews is a case study of an aesthetic salon attached to a personal gym. Combined with workouts, it was adopted to care for areas that take longer to address through exercise alone.

Are the published results guaranteed?

This does not guarantee results. Content is based on statements made by the salon owners at the time of the interview; actual outcomes vary depending on location, menus, and operational structure.
