IV. Pitfall Avoidance Guide and Exclusive Money-Saving Strategies
1. Beware of “Low-Price Traffic Driver, High-Price Upselling”
Many small clinics advertise “Thermage for 2999 RMB,” but it’s actually a single-shot experience or a fake machine. Although DayOne’s price list may not look like the absolute lowest online, there are absolutely no hidden add-ons.
- Pitfall Point: Confirm if the quote includes numbing cream (usually ¥200-300), disposable treatment tips, and post-op repair kits. DayOne quotes are all-inclusive prices.
- Response Tactics: If the consultant recommends “upgrading to a higher concentration serum,” first ask for the price difference between the original and upgraded versions, and confirm if it truly suits your skin type; do not blindly follow advice.
2. Exclusive Benefits for International Students and Tourists
- K-Beauty Card: Holders of foreign passports or student IDs can apply for an exclusive membership card, enjoying a 10%-5% discount on all projects.
- Group Buy Packages: Booking “Two People Together” via Xiaohongshu or WeChat official channels allows the second person to pay half price for water light and photoelectric projects.
- Seasonal Promotions: March (Cherry Blossom Season), August (Liberation Day), and November (Black Friday) are DayOne’s major promotion periods, often featuring “Buy One Get One Free” or “Recharge Bonus” events.
3. Chinese Service Booking Process
No need to worry about language issues; DayOne has a full-time Chinese team:
- WeChat/Line Booking: Send “Name + Passport Number + Desired Project” to get a preliminary quote.
- Video Consultation: You can book a free 10-minute video consultation with a doctor to determine the plan.
- In-Store Reception: Airport pick-up service is provided (free for consumption over ¥10,000), with full-process Chinese accompanying translation.
- Post-Op Follow-up: Add the Chinese nurse’s WeChat to consult anytime by sending recovery photos.
V. Real Cases: Dual Verification of Price and Effect
“I am a student at the Korean Language Institute at Korea University with a limited budget. I bought the ‘Quarterly Water Light Card’ at DayOne; three sessions cost only over 2000 RMB, cheaper than doing it in my home country! Moreover, the doctor didn’t perfunctorily treat me because I was young; instead, he patiently taught me how to care for my skin. The price list here is as clear as a menu; ordering à la carte is so satisfying.” — International Student in Korea, Wang
“I flew specifically to do Thermage. I compared three clinics and finally chose DayOne because they dared to unseal and scan the code in front of me. Although it cost 14,000, seeing the anti-counterfeiting code scan as genuine gave me peace of mind. The doctor’s technique was very steady; the lifting effect on half my face was visible immediately after completion. This money was well spent!” — Tourist from Beijing, Ms. Chen
