Nine Questions About 7D HIFU Specifications

1. What does "seven depths" really mean? Seven different cartridges that treat at different skin depths (1.5mm to 13.0mm). Different depths target different problems (eyes, jawline, neck, body). All 7 included free.

2. Can I use all seven depths on the same patient? Yes. A comprehensive facial might use depths 1-4 (face). A neck lift might use depths 4-6. A body treatment might use depth 9. Therapist chooses appropriate depth for treatment goal.

3. What's the difference between Portable and Vertical specifications? Portable: 65-75W, slower (1.5-2.5 cm²/sec), moveable. Vertical: 75-85W, faster (2.0-3.0 cm²/sec), stationary. Same technology, different form factors and speed.

4. How many treatments will the included cartridges last? 7 cartridges × 20,000 shots = approximately 600-1,000 treatments (mix of face and body). Depends on clinic volume. Small clinic = 6-9 months. Large clinic = 2-3 months.

5. What happens when cartridges run out? Purchase replacement cartridges ($150-200 each). Or buy replacement set of all 7 ($1,000-1,200). Minimal cost compared to treatment revenue.

6. Can I mix and match cartridges from different brands? No. Use original Wikbeauty cartridges only. Third-party cartridges void warranty and may damage machine.

7. What power level should I use for different treatment areas? Therapist training covers this. General rule: shallow areas = lower power (depth 1-2). Deeper sagging = higher power (depth 4-6).

8. How often can I treat the same area? Wait 4-6 weeks between treatments on same area. Too frequent = excessive heat buildup and potential burns.

9. What electrical circuit do I need? Portable: Standard 15-amp circuit (available in any clinic). Vertical: Dedicated 20-amp circuit (may need electrical upgrade).
