New HIFU device — evidence gap and approval-scope guide
Ten Triple
10TRIPLE is a 2025-launch focused-ultrasound (HIFU) device from the Korean manufacturer Tentech that fires three ultrasound lines at once; its published intended-use notice covers eyebrow lifting, and independent research on this specific model has not yet been published.

What is 10TRIPLE, and why does this page read differently from other HIFU guides?
10TRIPLE is a focused-ultrasound device from the Korean manufacturer Tentech, launched in 2025. Because it is genuinely new hardware, this page is built around what is not yet documented rather than a feature list — the gaps matter as much as the specifications.
Sources: 10TRIPLE — manufacturer product site, statutory notice stating the intended use
Is 10TRIPLE a combined HIFU and RF device?
The manufacturer’s own product site describes 10TRIPLE as focused ultrasound (HIFU) alone, delivered along three lines at the same time. No radiofrequency component appears in that material, so calling 10TRIPLE a “combination energy” or “HIFU+RF” device goes beyond what the source states.
Sources: 10TRIPLE — manufacturer product site, statutory notice stating the intended use
What does “3-line simultaneous irradiation” actually describe?
It describes how the transducer fires: three ultrasound lines are delivered in one pass instead of one line at a time. That is a description of the delivery pattern, not a claim about speed, comfort, or outcome compared with a single-line HIFU device.
Sources: 10TRIPLE — manufacturer product site, statutory notice stating the intended use
What does the official intended-use notice actually say?
Korean manufacturers of focused-ultrasound systems must publish a statutory notice describing the device’s approved intended use. For 10TRIPLE, that notice describes a focused-ultrasound stimulation system used to coagulate tissue in order to lift the eyebrows — it does not describe a general face-lifting indication.
Sources: 10TRIPLE — manufacturer product site, statutory notice stating the intended use
Does the approval cover full-face, neck, or jawline lifting?
The wording above does not extend to the cheeks, jawline, or neck. If a clinic positions 10TRIPLE for full-face or neck lifting, that goes beyond the intended-use notice published on the manufacturer’s own site, so it is reasonable to ask which area the approved wording actually covers.
Sources: 10TRIPLE — manufacturer product site, statutory notice stating the intended use
Has 10TRIPLE received a Korean manufacturing license?
A Korean medical-device manufacturing license for 10TRIPLE was announced on 2025-08-18. The announcement confirms a license was granted; it does not publish the license number itself.
Sources: 10TRIPLE — manufacturer product site, statutory notice stating the intended use
Why can’t you look up the 10TRIPLE license number yet?
Without a published number, there is nothing yet to check against Korea’s public device registry to independently confirm the exact scope of what was approved. That gap does not make the approval invalid — it means the number needed to verify it directly is not public, so ask the clinic to provide it before treatment.
Is the number shown with 10TRIPLE marketing the same as a device approval number?
The number posted alongside 10TRIPLE marketing material on the manufacturer’s site is a medical-device advertising-review number, not a manufacturing-license number. An advertising-review number confirms that a specific advertisement was screened under Korea’s ad rules; it does not stand in for, or verify, the device’s own approval number.
Sources: 10TRIPLE — manufacturer product site, statutory notice stating the intended use
Is there independent published research on 10TRIPLE itself?
No peer-reviewed study of 10TRIPLE has been identified. That is unsurprising for a device that only reached market in 2025 — independent clinical literature on a device typically follows its commercial launch by months or years, not the reverse.
Can an older Tentech HIFU device’s study stand in for evidence on 10TRIPLE?
Tentech’s earlier HIFU device has a retrospective study behind it, but patients in that study were assigned by preference rather than randomized, and the study evaluated a different, older model. Neither the study design nor the device generation supports carrying its numbers over to 10TRIPLE.
Has 10TRIPLE received FDA or CE certification?
Public reporting describes 10TRIPLE as having received certification in some markets outside Korea, but the original FDA or CE filings have not been located. Until those primary documents can be checked directly, treat “overcertified overseas” as a headline rather than a confirmed regulatory status.
Does “no evidence yet” mean the treatment doesn’t work?
“No evidence yet” describes the state of the published literature, not the device’s performance. It means no controlled study of 10TRIPLE has been published to confirm what it does or does not achieve — that is a different statement from “proven not to work,” and treating it as equivalent skips the actual question, which is what you are willing to accept without that confirmation.
Do shot counts and line counts mean the same thing across different HIFU devices?
Shot counts, line counts, cartridge choice, and treatment depth are set by each manufacturer’s own hardware and are not standardized across brands. A 3-line pass on 10TRIPLE is not the same unit as a single-line pass on a different HIFU device, so comparing raw numbers between devices does not tell you which one delivers more energy or a better outcome.
Why would a clinic offer a device with this little published history?
Clinics sometimes add a newly launched device because it is new hardware from an established Korean manufacturer — not because independent evidence has already accumulated for that specific model. That is a legitimate reason to offer it, and it is also a legitimate reason to ask more questions before booking; the two are not in conflict.
How long does the effect last?
No study of 10TRIPLE itself has been published, so this page cannot cite a duration figure for it — the same peer-review gap already noted above. Tentech’s earlier HIFU device does have a retrospective study behind it, but that trial assigned patients by preference rather than at random and evaluated a different, older model, so its numbers do not carry over to how long any change from 10TRIPLE might last. What tends to decide how long this kind of treatment holds up is the energy actually delivered to the target layer, the area treated, and each patient’s own tissue response — none of which this page can quantify for a device with no published study behind it. Ask the clinic what they are relying on when they answer this question, and whether they can point to a source for any duration figure they quote.
What should you ask before agreeing to a session on a newly launched device?
Ask the clinic to show the manufacturer’s intended-use wording and confirm which area it covers, to state plainly that the device is HIFU only, to explain the difference between the advertising-review number and the manufacturing-license number, and to describe what — if anything — they are relying on for expected outcomes given the current lack of published studies on this specific model.
10TRIPLE: what is confirmed, and what isn’t, before you book?
This table separates what the manufacturer’s own material documents from what a quote has to specify. It is not a ranking against other HIFU devices, and it is not a substitute for asking the clinic directly.
| Item | Confirmed | Not confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Energy technology | Focused ultrasound (HIFU) only, 3-line simultaneous irradiation | Any combination with radiofrequency (RF) energy |
| Approved intended use | Eyebrow lifting, via focused-ultrasound tissue coagulation | Full-face, neck, or jawline lifting |
| Korean manufacturing license | A license was announced on 2025-08-18 | The specific license number |
| Number shown with marketing | An advertising-review number is displayed | That this number is the same as, or verifies, a manufacturing-license number |
| Clinical evidence on this model | None published to date (device launched in 2025) | Whether an older Tentech model’s retrospective study results transfer to 10TRIPLE |
| Overseas certification | Reports that some overseas markets granted certification | Original FDA or CE filing documentation |
Confirming an item here means it appears in the manufacturer’s own material — it is not an endorsement, and it does not compare 10TRIPLE against other HIFU systems.

Frequently asked questions
What is 10TRIPLE?
10TRIPLE is a focused-ultrasound (HIFU) device made by the Korean manufacturer Tentech, launched in 2025, that fires three ultrasound lines simultaneously in a single pass. It is a genuinely new device, so independent evidence about it is still limited.
Is 10TRIPLE a combined HIFU and RF device?
No — the manufacturer’s own material describes it as focused ultrasound alone. No radiofrequency component is documented, so a “combination energy” description would go beyond what the source states.
What does the approved intended use say 10TRIPLE is for?
The statutory notice describes a focused-ultrasound stimulation system used to coagulate tissue in order to lift the eyebrows. It does not describe a general face or neck-lifting indication.
Can 10TRIPLE be used to lift the whole face or neck?
That use is outside the documented intended-use wording, which covers eyebrow lifting only. If a clinic proposes it for the whole face or neck, ask them to show which official wording supports that use.
Has 10TRIPLE been approved by Korean authorities?
A Korean medical-device manufacturing license was announced on 2025-08-18. The announcement confirms a license exists; it does not itself publish the license number.
What is the 10TRIPLE license number?
It has not been publicly disclosed. Ask the treating clinic to provide it so the approval scope can be checked directly against Korea’s device registry.
Is the number posted with 10TRIPLE marketing the same as its device approval number?
No — it is a medical-device advertising-review number, which confirms an advertisement was screened under Korea’s ad rules. It does not verify, or stand in for, the manufacturing-license number.
Is there published research on 10TRIPLE itself?
None has been identified. The device only launched in 2025, and independent clinical literature typically appears after commercial launch, not before it.
Can I rely on studies about Tentech’s older HIFU device instead?
Not directly. That study used preference-based patient assignment rather than randomization and evaluated a different, older model, so its results do not transfer to 10TRIPLE.
Has 10TRIPLE received FDA or CE certification?
Only secondhand reports of certification in some overseas markets exist so far; the original FDA or CE filings have not been located, so this should not be treated as a confirmed regulatory status.
Does the lack of published studies mean 10TRIPLE doesn’t work?
No — it means no controlled study has confirmed what it does or does not achieve yet. “Not yet studied” and “proven ineffective” are different statements, and this page only supports the first.
Can I compare 10TRIPLE’s shot count directly against another HIFU device’s shot count?
No — shot count, line count, cartridge and depth are set by each manufacturer’s own hardware and are not standardized units across brands, so raw numbers are not directly comparable.
Why would a clinic offer 10TRIPLE if there is so little evidence yet?
Offering new hardware from an established Korean manufacturer is a legitimate business reason on its own; it does not require independent evidence to already exist for that specific model. That is exactly why it is worth asking more questions before booking.
What should I ask before booking a 10TRIPLE session?
Ask to see the manufacturer’s intended-use wording and which area it covers, confirm the device is HIFU only, ask the clinic to distinguish the advertising-review number from the manufacturing-license number, and ask what they are basing expected outcomes on given the current lack of published studies.
