1. Laser treatment
1.1 Picosecond laser
Picosecond laser uses an ultrashort pulse laser and is effective for removing spots and tattoos and rejuvenating the skin. The latest research has reported efforts to build a picosecond laser treatment model and reduce the risk of complications.
1.2 Fractional Laser
Fractional lasers target minute areas of the skin with a laser to stimulate collagen production, which can improve wrinkles and acne scars. In particular, the Fraxel Restore laser has been shown to improve skin tone and texture in a non-invasive manner.
2. Injection Therapy

is used to suppress excessive muscle contraction and improve facial wrinkles. The effect lasts for several months, and long-term results can be expected with regular treatment.
2.2 Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid is an ingredient that improves skin hydration and elasticity. When injected as a filler, it can compensate for wrinkles and loss of volume. Recent studies have confirmed the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid fillers in restoring a youthful appearance to the skin.
3. Energy Devices
3.1 HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HIFU uses ultrasound to apply heat deep into the skin and stimulate collagen production, which can result in a lifting effect and skin tightening. In particular, the Sofwave device is attracting attention as the latest HIFU device approved by the FDA.
3.2 Combination of RF (Radio Frequency) and Microneedling
Combination of RF and Microneedling delivers energy deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production. Morpheus8 is a device that uses this technology and is effective in tightening and improving skin texture.
4. Chemical peels
Chemical peeling uses a chemical solution to remove dead skin cells and promote skin regeneration. This can improve dark spots, dullness, and acne scars. The Japanese Dermatological Association has established guidelines for chemical peeling and recommends safe and effective treatments.
5. Use in conjunction with home care
Studies have shown that combining aesthetic medical procedures with home care products can have synergistic effects: for example, combining laser toning procedures with certain preparations has been shown to be more effective at inhibiting melanin production and improving skin elasticity.

Purpose and effect: Choose a treatment that suits your skin concerns and goals.
Safety: Choose a trustworthy clinic and doctor, and fully understand the risks and side effects of the treatment.
