What is Scizer?
Scizer is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device made by Classys for body contouring. It delivers focused ultrasound energy to the subcutaneous fat layer and is a device treatment, not an injection.
Sources: Classys — SCIZER product page (HIFU, cartridges, treatment zone)
Is Scizer a fat-dissolving injection?
No. Some booking menus place Scizer under a fat-dissolving category name, but the product is an ultrasound device. Nothing is injected; energy is delivered through a cartridge placed on the skin.

Who makes Scizer?
Scizer is made by Classys, a Seoul-based aesthetic medical device company. The FDA record lists Classys, Inc. of Seoul as the applicant for the SCIZER (SC1-M410).
Sources: Classys — SCIZER product page (HIFU, cartridges, treatment zone)U.S. FDA — 510(k) premarket notification K230100 (SCIZER, SC1-M410)
What kind of energy does Scizer use?
Scizer uses HIFU at 2 MHz. The maker describes the energy as focused on a chosen depth in the fat layer rather than spread across the skin surface.
Sources: Classys — SCIZER product page (HIFU, cartridges, treatment zone)
What are the D9 and D13 cartridges?
The maker lists two cartridges: D9 at 2 MHz and 9.0 mm focal depth, and D13 at 2 MHz and 13.0 mm focal depth. The number in the name is the depth in millimetres, so the choice of cartridge is a depth decision made for each area.
Sources: Classys — SCIZER product page (HIFU, cartridges, treatment zone)
How large is the treatment zone, and is there cooling?
The maker specifies a maximum treatment zone of 46 x 46 mm and describes a large-area scanner. The cartridges include contact cooling intended to protect the skin surface.
Sources: Classys — SCIZER product page (HIFU, cartridges, treatment zone)
Does Scizer have FDA clearance?
Yes. The FDA database lists SCIZER (SC1-M410) from Classys, Inc. under 510(k) K230100, decision date November 3, 2023, with the decision Substantially Equivalent. It is classified as focused ultrasound for tissue heat or mechanical cellular disruption (product code OHV, 21 CFR 878.4590).
Sources: U.S. FDA — 510(k) premarket notification K230100 (SCIZER, SC1-M410)
What is the Korean approval statement?
Classys states that Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety use statement covers people with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or less and an abdominal fat thickness of 2.5 cm or more, for help in reducing abdominal circumference.
Sources: Classys press release — SCIZER FDA clearance, with the Korean MFDS use statement
Why do BMI and fat thickness matter here?
Because the Korean use statement is written around BMI and abdominal fat thickness, those two measures are the first thing to ask about at consultation. They describe the population the statement is written for, not an expected result for any one person.
Sources: Classys press release — SCIZER FDA clearance, with the Korean MFDS use statement
What is the difference between partial and full abdomen?
On the menu, partial abdomen is 6 pads and full abdomen is 8 pads. Ask the clinic which area each pad count covers on your body and how the pads are laid out, since the menu names are units of work, not a promise of a particular change.
Sources: Abijou reservation centre — Scizer menu (abdomen, pad units)
How long does a Scizer session take?
The clinic’s treatment guide lists about 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Is anaesthesia needed for Scizer?
The clinic’s guide says anaesthesia is usually not needed. It describes the sensation as mild to moderate and varying from person to person, so tell the doctor if you are sensitive to discomfort.
Is there downtime after Scizer?
The clinic’s guide describes almost no separate recovery period, with a return to daily routine the same day. Ask the doctor what to expect and avoid in the first days.
How often does the clinic suggest Scizer?
The clinic’s guide recommends a series of several sessions followed by maintenance, with the plan made at consultation. It gives no fixed number, and this is clinic scheduling guidance rather than effect data.
Who is Scizer suggested for?
The clinic’s guide lists people bothered by the contour of a particular area, people who want a non-invasive approach to body care, people who will pair it with lifestyle management and people who understand that results differ between individuals.
Is Scizer a weight-loss treatment?
No. The clinic’s guide states it is not a treatment that promises weight loss. It describes a body-care programme for managing the contour of specific areas, and says the exact method and intensity depend on the clinic’s own protocol and your condition.
How long do the effects last?
This page does not cover a measured duration of effect for Scizer in either direction. The sources used here describe what the device is, how it is cleared and how the clinic lists it, not how long a change lasts. The clinic’s guide says only that duration varies with lifestyle habits and the individual, and gives no figure. Ask the clinic what its recommended interval and any repeat sessions are based on, and have it separate the temporary sensations right after a session from the change you are hoping for.

What should I confirm at the consultation?
Confirm that the device is Scizer by Classys, which cartridge depth is planned for each area, how many pads and sessions are proposed, and how your own BMI and abdominal fat thickness compare with the Korean use statement.
Sources: Classys press release — SCIZER FDA clearance, with the Korean MFDS use statement
How do I compare Scizer quotes between clinics?
Compare in pads, area and sessions, not by the menu name alone. A 1-pad menu, a 6-pad partial abdomen and an 8-pad full abdomen are different amounts of treatment, and a 3-session package is a different structure again.
