Caresys

Recommended for those who:

  • Want smoother texture, firmness, and radiance
  • Are concerned about fine lines on the face
  • Are concerned about dullness or melasma
  • Those concerned about pores

What is electroporation?

It is said that only about 0.3% of the active ingredients in serums applied to the skin normally penetrate the skin.
Electroporation creates tiny electrical pores in the cell membranes of keratinocytes for several seconds to several minutes by applying short, strong, special electrical pulses. By allowing active ingredients to penetrate through these pores,it enables even large-molecular-weight agents and non-ionized agents, which are normally difficult to penetrate, to reach deep into the skin.Its penetration power is said to be more than 20 times that of iontophoresis. Various effects can be expected depending on the active ingredients used.

How electroporation works

What is Caresys?

Equipped with heating and cooling functions
Caresys-S is a “cryo-electroporation system” that can deliver active ingredients while adjusting the temperature from 45°C to -20°C. Compared with conventional electroporation, adding cooling causes blood vessels to constrict, allowing the delivered agents to remain in the skin for a longer time and further enhance the effects.
In addition, after procedures that may cause pain, redness, swelling, or a sensation of heat—such as laser facials, fractional treatments, needle therapy, and chemical peels—delivering active ingredients in cooling mode can help reduce downtime.

Selectable agents

Pepview

  • Brightening
  • Wrinkles
  • Tightening
  • Skin regeneration

A high-performance serum formulated with seven growth factors extracted from neural stem cells, functional peptides, Argireline, and idebenone as key ingredients. The seven abundant growth factors and functional peptides promote skin recovery and powerful regenerative function, stimulating collagen production.
Argireline, known as “topical Botox,” helps relax muscle tension that causes expression lines, making them appear less noticeable.
Idebenone has a powerful antioxidant effect that reduces melanin pigment, brightening skin tone and leading to clearer, more radiant skin.

*In particular, when used in combination with procedures such as laser treatments or Dermapen, it is possible to minimize downtime and enhance the effects of the procedure. *In particular, when used in combination with procedures such as laser treatments or Dermapen, it is possible to minimize downtime and enhance the effects of the procedure.

Renatus TA

  • Melasma
  • Dullness
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Rough skin

Renatus Ta Plus is an infusion agent developed to moisturize the skin and care for spots and dullness. It contains tranexamic acid, sodium ascorbate, hyaluronic acid, and more.
Tranexamic acid suppresses plasmin, which causes chronic inflammation, and by reducing stimulation to melanocytes through its anti-inflammatory effects, it helps lighten melasma and dullness. Sodium ascorbate is converted into vitamin C after being absorbed into the skin, helping to lighten spots by suppressing melanin production. It also helps fade the pigment of melanin that has already formed, and is recommended for spot prevention as well.

Long-Pulse YAG Laser

Long-Pulse YAG Laser

Our clinic’s long-pulse Nd:YAG laser treatment device uses the U.S. FDA-approved Xeo by Cutera.
This single machine can address various skin and nail concerns.
[Genesis] applies mild thermal stimulation to the upper dermis to activate collagen production. It restores firmness from within, tightens the skin, and is effective for improving surface texture and pores.
Additionally, because the [Genesis] laser light reacts to red pigments, it is used to treat facial redness and keloids.
Furthermore, it is a versatile multi-functional device that can perform nail fungus treatment (known as [Laser Renail]) using the laser’s bactericidal effect, as well as [Vascular Laser] treatment, which acts directly on hemoglobin (the red pigment in red blood cells) to destroy blood vessels.

Recommended for those who:

  • Concerned about fine lines
  • Makeup doesn’t apply as well as it used to with age
  • Want to improve enlarged pores or sagging skin
  • Concerned about skin dullness
  • Suffering from facial redness
  • Concerned about acne scars
  • Want to improve dark circles under the eyes
  • Want to refine skin texture
  • Want firm, glowing skin

Genesis

Laser peeling that targets the lower epidermis to the upper dermis

  • ・Reduction of enlarged pores and blackheads
  • ・Improvement of skin quality, including fine lines and redness from acne/acne scars
  • ・Improvement of telangiectasia (visible capillaries), facial redness, and blue-toned dark circles
  • ・Skin tightening effect on the epidermis

What is Genesis?

Genesis stimulates fibroblasts and promotes collagen production by delivering mild pulses of a long-pulse Nd:YAG laser.
This skin quality improvement treatment restores beauty by providing firmness from within to improve fine lines and refine skin texture (see diagram above).
Genesis also promotes skin turnover and acts as a laser peel to remove old dead skin cells, making it effective for improving enlarged pores, acne scars, and dullness.
Furthermore, since the Genesis laser wavelength reacts to hemoglobin (the red pigment in red blood cells), it is also effective in improving facial redness, telangiectasia, and keloids.
While you can feel the firmness and improved makeup application after just one session, more significant results are achieved with 5 to 10 repeated treatments.
This medical laser is approved by the U.S. FDA (the equivalent of Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) and is a highly effective device with an excellent safety profile.

Features of Genesis

  • Acts directly on concerns with minimal damage to the surrounding skin.
  • Can be performed on patients with sensitive skin or atopic dermatitis.
  • Minimal pain and a comfortable treatment experience.
  • Suitable for all skin tones, including darker skin.

Treatment details

Who should not receive treatment
  • ・Those with skin inflammation or a recent heavy sunburn.
  • ・Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • ・Those with metal implants in the face, such as gold threads.


Vascular Laser

Recommended for those who:

  • Facial telangiectasia
  • Senile hemangioma (Cherry angioma)
  • Spider veins
  • Post-acne redness

What is Vascular Laser?

Vascular Laser treatment uses a high-output long-pulse Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, which is easily absorbed by hemoglobin (the red pigment in blood), to thermally denature and treat fine vessels in the upper dermis.
A hemangioma is a vascular growth on the skin. They appear in various forms, such as birthmarks or visible vessel shapes, and vary in size and location.
This treatment improves small senile hemangiomas on the skin surface (common on the neck, body, and arms with age) and thread-like capillaries common in women from middle age onward by using heat from the long-pulse Nd:YAG laser that reacts to hemoglobin. For fine vessels, results can be seen in 1 to 2 sessions.
However, conditions like telangiectasia covering the entire cheek are difficult to treat in a single session and require multiple treatments.
Additionally, since blood vessels can regenerate, hemangiomas may reappear even after initial improvement.

Chemical Peeling Iontophoresis

Chemical Peeling

Chemical peeling is a treatment method that exfoliates and removes old keratin from the epidermis to rejuvenate the skin.

The keratin on the skin surface consists of many layers of cells.
Basal cells at the bottom of the epidermis change shape as they are pushed up by new cells from below, eventually becoming the outermost stratum corneum of the epidermis and naturally peeling off. This is called turnover (metabolism). Healthy skin is said to have a turnover cycle of four weeks (28 days).
However, if this turnover is prolonged due to certain causes (such as stress, lifestyle habits, or environmental changes), old keratin accumulates and causes skin dullness. Furthermore, when turnover abnormalities occur in the pores, it leads to clogged pores and acne.

Chemical peeling is a treatment where chemical agents (chemicals) are applied to the skin to cause a chemical reaction that peels away old skin.By removing keratin from the skin surface and pores and stimulating skin regeneration through chemical irritation, many cosmetic benefits can be expected.
Chemical peeling has a long history; it is said that in ancient Egypt, Cleopatra maintained her beautiful skin by bathing in sour milk containing lactic acid.

Recommended for those who:

  • Concerned about acne or acne scars
  • Feeling that pores are clogged
  • Concerned about skin dullness
  • Oily and sticky skin

Four Benefits of Chemical Peeling

  • Removes unnecessary keratin and clogged pores
  • Normalizes skin turnover and promotes skin regeneration
  • Inhibits tyrosinase, which stimulates melanin—the cause of spots
  • Promotes skin regeneration and increases dermal collagen

These effects can be expected to prevent new acne, heal existing acne, improve acne scars early, improve oily skin, make pores less noticeable, improve dullness, and provide whitening effects.

At our clinic, we perform peeling using “Salicylic Acid Macrogol,” which is gentle on the skin. Salicylic acid has the effect of softening and dissolving keratin. Therefore, it has long been used in dermatology as a treatment for keratin. However, if salicylic acid was absorbed through the sebaceous glands, there was a risk of toxicity (such as nausea, hyperventilation, or tinnitus) due to increased salicylic acid concentration in the blood.

The “Salicylic Acid Macrogol” used at our clinic is a strong acid with a salicylic acid concentration of 30% and a pH of 1.7. However, because the affinity of the base material called “Macrogol” used with “Salicylic Acid” is very high, the acid remains almost entirely in the keratin and does not penetrate deep into the skin, eliminating the risk of toxicity.
Furthermore, it thoroughly exfoliates only excess keratin without causing inflammation, so it is relatively low-irritation and suitable for those with delicate skin who might experience redness, itching, or poor skin condition after other peels (such as those using glycolic acid or lactic acid). We will provide a thorough explanation of the agents and procedures during the counseling session, so please feel free to visit us with peace of mind.

Post-Treatment Precautions If you have a sunburn, the possibility of skin trouble increases, so we recommend undergoing the treatment after the sunburn has subsided to some extent.
Precautions
  • • We may decline treatment for those with dermatitis, sunburn, aspirin asthma, or aspirin allergies.
  • • For those who are pregnant, the skin becomes more sensitive, and reactions not normally seen may occur.
  • • Please refrain from using agents with exfoliating effects, such as peeling agents, RAC (retinoic acid), or Differin Gel (acne treatment), for one week before and after the procedure.
  • • Since the skin is delicate after the procedure, do not rub it strongly, avoid UV rays, and ensure thorough moisturizing.

Iontophoresis
Vitamin C Tranexamic Acid

Iontophoresis can enhance the effects of all treatments by delivering and allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin.

Recommended for those who:

  • Those suffering from acne or skin irritation
  • Those who want beautiful skin or are concerned about skin quality improvement
  • Those concerned about skin dullness or sagging
  • Those concerned about skin dryness or fine lines

The skin surface has a barrier function to prevent foreign substances from entering the body, so no matter how good an ingredient is for the skin, it cannot penetrate deep into the skin simply by being applied. Iontophoresis is a treatment that uses a weak electric current to allow ionized active ingredients to penetrate “deeper” and “more thoroughly” into the skin. Iontophoresis is highly effective in allowing active ingredients for beautiful skin to penetrate from the basal layer at the bottom of the epidermis to the dermis layer, removing active oxygen, suppressing and discharging melanin pigment (the source of spots), improving pigmentation, improving acne and acne scars, and promoting the production of elastin and collagen that improve skin firmness and texture. After chemical peeling or skin-beautifying laser treatments, skin metabolism becomes active, and skin cells require a lot of nutrients. While the skin is in a state of trying to produce large amounts of collagen and elastin internally and discharge melanin pigment faster due to laser treatment, these processes may not be carried out properly if nutrients are insufficient. Therefore, our clinic recommends receiving iontophoresis as a set, as it can also be expected to supplement the skin with nutrients.

About Iontophoresis Agents

  • Vitamin C
    Vitamin C suppresses melanin production and improves spots, dullness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left after insect bites or rashes. Furthermore, it removes active oxygen through its antioxidant effect and suppresses the activity of sebaceous glands, making it effective for acne and the redness of acne scars.
  • Tranexamic Acid
    Tranexamic acid suppresses melanin production and works to prevent spots and melasma. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect and is recommended for those concerned about skin irritation. By allowing tranexamic acid to penetrate deep into the skin through iontophoresis, it leads to beautiful skin with a sense of transparency. Using it in combination with Vitamin C results in even brighter skin.
