| Title | TENTECH Selected for Seoul’s “Hi Seoul Brand” Certification… Demonstrating the Global Competitiveness of Korean Medical Devices | ||
Cumulative domestic and international sales exceed 2,000 units… Expanding into overseas markets including the United States and Europe TENTECH Inc. announced that it has been selected as a newly certified company under the “2026 Hi Seoul Brand” program administered by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Business Agency (SBA). Hi Seoul Brand is a program under which the Mayor of Seoul certifies Seoul-based small and medium-sized enterprises that demonstrate excellence in growth potential, profitability, stability, and productivity. The selection process includes quantitative assessments, document reviews, and presentation evaluations to comprehensively assess business stability, growth potential, global capabilities, and expertise. TENTECH has strengthened the competitiveness of Korean-made devices by developing its core technologies in-house in a lifting medical device market historically dominated by imported equipment. The company explained that, guided by the principle of “never compromising on technology or quality,” it focused on developing the core components that precisely control thermal energy itself, rather than sourcing those components externally. This enabled it to introduce Korean-made equipment to the monopolar radiofrequency (RF) lifting market. Its flagship product is 10THERMA, a lifting device that delivers 6.78 MHz monopolar RF energy to the skin’s dermal layer to stimulate collagen regeneration. These devices are designed with Smart Temperature Control (STC) technology and impedance matching to enhance treatment safety and reduce pain-related discomfort. Impedance matching is a technology that adjusts energy delivery according to the electrical resistance characteristics of skin tissue. According to TENTECH, 10THERMA has entered more than 30 countries on the strength of regulatory certifications and approvals in major markets, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Europe’s CE MDR, Australia’s TGA, and Brazil’s ANVISA. Cumulative domestic and international sales have also exceeded 2,000 units. In the United States, the company supplied 200 units to the medical aesthetics chain LaserAway under the “X-THERMA” brand. More recently, it obtained product approvals in Russia and Kazakhstan and is expanding exports to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) market. TENTECH is also diversifying its product portfolio. Its lineup includes 10TRIPLE, a three-line high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device; 10THERA, a two-line HIFU device; and 10REVIV, an RF microneedling device. Among these products, 10REVIV was named a Winner in the Industrial Design category at the K-Design Award 2026. Through the Hi Seoul Brand certification, TENTECH will receive benefits over the next three years, including the right to use the certification mark, support for global expansion, and access to business-to-business (B2B) collaboration programs among certified companies. Currently, 1,161 companies hold Hi Seoul Brand certification, of which 602 operate across 119 countries. TENTECH received its certificate at a certificate and plaque presentation ceremony held at SBA headquarters. Building on this certification, TENTECH plans to strengthen its position in the U.S. market while expanding its sales operations in Latin America, Europe, the CIS, and the Middle East. Through these efforts, it aims to reach cumulative sales of 3,000 units for 10THERMA. For new products, the company also plans to pursue regulatory approval procedures in major countries alongside product launches to accelerate entry into overseas markets. “Since founding the company, we have remained committed to developing our core technologies in-house, guided by a single principle: never compromise on technology or quality,” said Han Dong-ok, CEO of TENTECH. “The Hi Seoul Brand certification represents official recognition from the Seoul Metropolitan Government of that unwavering commitment and our global competitiveness, demonstrated in more than 30 countries.” He added, “We will continue to choose the right path over the easy one, accelerating our expansion into the United States and emerging markets with 10THERMA and 10TRIPLE, and growing into the total lifting solutions company that medical professionals worldwide turn to first.” FAQ Q1.
