IV. Guide to Avoiding Common Pitfalls and Exclusive Money-Saving Strategies
1. Be wary of the strategy of “attracting traffic at low prices and then attempting to sell more expensive products”.
Many small clinics advertise “Thermage for 2999 RMB,” but in reality, it either refers to a one-time treatment or involves the use of a fake device. Although DayOne’s pricing may not seem to be the lowest available online, there are definitely no hidden additional fees or charges.
- Potential Pitfall: Verify whether the quote includes numbing cream (usually costing ¥200-300), disposable treatment tips, and post-operative repair kits. The quotes provided on DayOne include all these items in the total price.
- Response Tactics: If the consultant recommends “upgrading to a serum with a higher concentration,” first inquire about the price difference between the original version and the upgraded one, and make sure that it is indeed suitable for your skin type; do not blindly follow such advice.
2. Exclusive Benefits for International Students and Tourists
- K-Beauty Card: Foreign passport holders or students with student IDs can apply for this exclusive membership card and enjoy discounts of 10% to 5% on all services.
- Group Buy Packages: By booking a “Two-Person Package” through Xiaohongshu or WeChat official channels, the second person can enjoy a 50% discount on water light and photoelectric treatment services.
- Seasonal Promotions: March (Cherry Blossom Season), August (Liberation Day), and November (Black Friday) are the main promotional periods for DayOne, during which activities such as “Buy One Get One Free” or “Recharge Bonus” are often offered.
3. Chinese Service Booking Process
There is no need to worry about language issues; DayOne has a full-time Chinese team in place.
- WeChat/Line Booking: Send “Name + Passport Number + Desired Service” to obtain a preliminary quote.
- Video Consultation: You can schedule a free 10-minute video consultation with a doctor to determine the best treatment plan for you.
- In-Store Reception: Airport pick-up service is available (free for transactions totaling ¥10,000 or more), and professional Chinese interpreters will provide assistance throughout the entire process.
- Post-Operative Follow-up: Add the Chinese nurse’s WeChat account and send recovery photos at any time if you need consultation.
V. Real Cases: Double Verification of Price and Effect
“I am a student at the Korean Language Institute at Korea University with a limited budget. I purchased the ‘Quarterly Water Light Card’ at DayOne; three treatments cost only a little over 2000 RMB, which is actually cheaper than getting similar services in my home country! Moreover, the doctor didn’t treat me perfunctorily just because I was young; instead, he patiently taught me how to take care of my skin. The price list here is very clear and straightforward, making it really convenient to choose treatments on a custom basis.” — Wang, an international student in Korea
“I specifically flew to Beijing just to have the Thermage treatment. I compared three different clinics and finally chose DayOne because they were willing to open the package in front of me and scan the anti-counterfeiting code. Although it cost 14,000 yuan, seeing that the scan confirmed the authenticity of the product really put my mind at ease. The doctor’s technique was very precise; I could already see obvious lifting effects on one side of my face right after the treatment. This money was definitely well spent!” — Ms. Chen, a tourist from Beijing
