Facial Spots Treatment

Outline of Operation

Facial spots are caused by various factors. We use medical skin analyzers to diagnose spots accurately based on our extensive therapeutic experience, and based on the type of spots, propose the best treatment combining internal medicine, a skin-whitening cream developed in-house, laser therapy and phototherapy.

Course of Operation

When laser therapy is required, we apply an anesthetic cream on the spots, and wait for about one hour before irradiation. Protective tape is applied after the operation.

Points to Note after the Operation

Please don't remove the protective tape until the next medical examination one week later to see the progress. Even after a spot is successfully removed with a scab, we recommend using skin-whitening cream in addition to sun protection measures for preventing pigmentation and recurrence of spots. If your spots are widespread, performing phototherapy treatment with less downtime once a month is recommended to get better results. For this purpose, we have introduced the cutting-edge phototherapy apparatus Forma α IPL.

Pore Treatment / Acne, Acne Scarring Treatment

Outline of Operation

We treat pores by carbon peel using Dermapen 4 or CO2 Fractional Laser, GentleMax Pro.

Course of Operation

For Dermapen 4, we apply an anesthetic cream, and wait for about one hour to start treatment. Based on your skin condition and request, we use an external application of growth factor preparation or a massage peel agent for further improvement.

Points to Note after the Operation

The skin becomes red for two or three days after treatment. Please moisturize sufficiently during that time and take effective ultraviolet ray measures when going out. You can get good results by receiving the treatment five to six times a month.

Botox Injections

Outline of Operation

Botox is effective for improvement of wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows and at the corner of the eyes. One injection remains effective for three to six months depending on the individual, but you can feel the effect one week after treatment. We use Allegan Aesthetics' products approved by the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry.

Course of Operation

Since we use the smallest needle, the 34G, and apply icing pretreatment, we don't use anesthetic cream for botox injections.

Points to Note Before / after Operation

Please refrain from drinking alcohol or doing exercise on the day of the injection. In rare cases, internal bleeding may occur at the injection site, but it vanishes in one or two weeks.

Fat Dissolving Injections

Outline of Operation

We use a medicinal solution containing deoxycholic acid (11% concentration) and phosphatidylcholine (11% concentration) as main ingredients. Deoxycholic acid promotes the dissolution, emulsification, and absorption of fat. Phosphatidylcholine also enhances fat absorption. The combined effect of these two main ingredients reduces fat.

Course of Operation

We inject the medicinal solution into areas where fat reduction is desired using a thin injection needle or a thin blunt needle.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

Outline of Operation

HIFU is a skin tightening treatment for facial sagging. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) irradiated into the target layers warms them up to 50 to 60 degrees, promotes regeneration, and both tightens and pulls up sagging skin. In addition, by adjusting irradiation, it is possible to reduce the quantity of fat tissue and improve both double chins and sagged face lines.

It is said that the time it takes to feel the effect most strongly is one month after the procedure, so we recommend receiving a treatment every three months.

We use SOTHYS skin care (Soin technique) together with our treatment, aiming to maximize the effect.

Apparatus used for treatment

ULTRAcel [Zi:] is the latest device in the representative HIFU series. Improved safety and irradiation efficiency make it possible to shorten treatment time and reduce pain and downtime, compared to conventional devices.

Thread Lift

Outline of Operation

We use threads called VOV Lift Premium. By inserting threads into both cheeks and lifting them, we can expect improvement in nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The lifting effect of PCL (polycaprolactone) dissolvable threads is said to last 2-3 years. As the threads gradually dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, which also has the effect of forming the foundation of the skin.

Course of Operation

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Scarring consists of needle-sized wounds at 2-4 insertion points. Makeup is usually possible from the next day. The scars are covered with tape and heal almost completely after one week.

Course of Operation

On your request, we apply an anesthetic cream, and wait for about one hour to start treatment.

Points to Note Before/after Operation

Skin may become red after treatment. Please apply ointment and moisturize the skin, and take effective ultraviolet ray measures for exposed parts when going out. You can get good results by receiving treatment five to six times every one or two months.

Tattoo Removal

Outline of Operation

Tattoos are treated by surgical procedures (removal, dermal graft) or Q-Switch YAG lasers. Depending on the color of the tattoo, laser therapy may be impossible.

The charge for surgical treatment depends on the site treated, the surrounding area, and the method. We will decide based on consultation and explain.

Course of Operation

Local anesthesia is used for both surgical treatments and laser therapy.

Points to Note Before/after Injection

For laser therapy, irradiation needs to be applied two or three times every six months. For surgical treatment, you may need the surgery several times.

Excessive Sweating Treatment

Outline of Care

Hyperhidrosis of the underarms, palms of hands and soles of feet can be improved by external medicine, Perspirex, or botox injections. Please note that external medicines for primary maschalephidrosis have been covered by national health insurance since 2020.

It is an exquisite treatment that combines the delicate techniques acquired through SOTHYS treatments with the effects of thermal therapy equipment. This slimming method requires minimal physical burden, warming deep within the body to promote detailed activation. With our high-frequency therapeutic apparatus, INDIBA (blog article here), we can warm the deep layers of the body, improve blood circulation, and achieve body slimming and buttock lifting. While this treatment is typically performed to reduce post-surgical swelling, it can also be used for slimming purposes.
