Reading Time: <1 minuteMany patients visit our clinic hoping to remove moles. What kind of moles are easy to remove? Many people think that flat moles are easier to remove, but raised moles are overwhelmingly easier to remove without leaving noticeable scars after removal. Flat moles may have pigments deep in the dermis, so they cannot always be completely removed in one session. We cannot guarantee that the mole pigment will disappear unless we perform an excision. Raised moles can be completely removed by evaporating the mole tissue itself with a Surgitron high-frequency treatment device, and there is almost no chance of recurrence. The skin above the lips and around the eyelids is always moving, so after surgery the scars are often raised and become hypertrophic scars. We do not recommend removing moles on the sternum or shoulders because the scars are often more noticeable. Raised moles on the nose have cartilage at the base, so the scars are less noticeable and they are easier to remove. If you wish to remove moles or warts, please feel free to consult us as we can perform all kinds of treatments. We also perform pathological examinations, and after diagnosing whether moles are malignant or benign using a dermascope, in principle, moles on the body can be removed under insurance coverage. Moles are benign tumors called pigmented nevus, and in the case of removal, it is assumed that medical expenses deductions may be applicable. Please feel free to contact us.

Reading Time: <1 minuteHyaluronic acid injections are effective in treating wrinkles naturally and reliably. There are three types of wrinkles. Treatment methods differ for each type. 1: Facial wrinkles 2: Groove wrinkles 3: Sagging wrinkles There are three main types of wrinkles. For type 1, facial wrinkles, treatment with Botox injections is effective. For type 2, groove wrinkles, hyaluronic acid injections are effective. For type 3, sagging wrinkles, HIFU treatment, also known as Ultraformer, is effective. Recently, more and more dermatology and dental facilities are offering hyaluronic acid injections. Injection seminars are also held by companies, but many doctors believe that injections are easier than surgery. However, it is impossible to gain a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the face and to accurately inject the appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid into the targeted layer of the skin by just practicing a few dozen cases. Many years of experience, intuition, and manual skills are required. I have trained many dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons, but there are very few doctors who can master the technique to inject accurately into any area without any problems. In particular, if hyaluronic acid is injected into the wrong layer and into a blood vessel, it can cause necrosis of the tissue in the area of ​​the nutrient artery. I have never experienced such a tragic case myself, but it has occurred quite a few times at other medical institutions. Particular care is required when injecting into nasolabial folds or glabella. At our clinic, we perform hyaluronic acid injections safely and with consideration for pain, with a natural finish and full guarantee of treatment results. Please feel free to contact us.  

Reading Time: <1 minuteNose bridge shaping is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses high-concentration hyaluronic acid injections, and there is little risk or downtime, making it a procedure that can be easily performed with the feeling of applying makeup. Simply straightening the bridge of the nose, rather than making it higher, can make a big difference in the impression. Aquiline noses and wavy noses have a disconnected, missing nose bridge, which makes them look unnatural. The treatment takes only about one minute, and there are risks such as the possibility of internal bleeding, swelling, and the possibility of post-operative infection or allergies. Please feel free to consult us.

Reading Time: <1 minute The trend in cosmetic surgery has also shifted from surgery to minor cosmetic surgery with no downtime. I have been involved in clinical practice as a cosmetic surgeon for over 30 years, but when I first started working as a cosmetic surgeon, there was no implant formation using prostheses or treatment for tear bags for nose bridge formation. There were no hyaluronic acid preparations, and there was collagen injections from a medical manufacturer called Takaken Co., Ltd., but the concentration was low and it was generally only used for wrinkles. Later, cow collagen injections and human collagen were sold as preparations and became widely used. However, the concentration and tissue retention rate of both were low enough to be used for minor cosmetic surgery, so they were only used for wrinkle treatment. The monitor photo shows a case where the tear bags were formed with hyaluronic acid, and the nose bridge was formed by injecting an even higher concentration of hyaluronic acid. The procedure takes about 5 minutes for both procedures. There is no downtime after surgery, and you can apply makeup and wash your face immediately after. It gives a natural transformation, and the injected hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with hyaluronidase to return it to its original state. Many cosmetic surgeons perform this procedure, but sense and dexterity are also important, as excessive injections can result in an unnatural facial appearance. At our clinic, we guarantee a natural finish and results that will leave you satisfied.

Reading Time: <1 minuteNational Life CenterI have heard that there have been many complaints about HIFU treatments to beauty salons, but I have been performing HIFU treatments for many years and have never experienced a single problem. HIFU treatments have become popular in recent years and some beauty salons are performing them, but strictly speaking, isn't this illegal? HIFU is a highly effective, safe and reliable treatment for wrinkles and sagging skin, and is a recommended treatment. It is also true that in some medical institutions, doctors do not perform HIFU treatments at all and leave the treatment to nurses. Not only is it ineffective, but there have also been cases of major problems. It is not the HIFU equipment that is at fault, but who is performing the treatment? Is it someone with specialized knowledge and skills? The important thing is that if the problem is replaced with a problem with the equipment and reported in the news, specialists who are performing medical treatments seriously will feel very sad. I am even more surprised that there are beauty salons that are advertising HIFU under the name of HIFU. Only doctors can perform medical procedures. Estheticians have neither medical knowledge nor medical skills. There is also a problem with the current situation where it is left unchecked as a gray area. I hope that we are now in an era where proper medical care is reconsidered, including the recent news that a nurse was burned during treatment and was criminally charged.

Reading Time: <1 minute Anesthesia before surgery may cause some pain. We try to prepare anesthetic drugs and use anesthesia methods that cause as little pain as possible, but for anxious patients, we use nitrous oxide anesthesia to ease anxiety and relieve pain. It has a stronger sedative effect than an analgesic effect, so it is expected to suppress the increase in pain caused by anxiety. If you would like to undergo surgery or treatment with as little anxiety and pain as possible, we can use nitrous oxide for sedation and pain relief during treatment upon consultation.

Reading Time: <1 minute Yesterday, a patient who had a prosthesis implant surgery in Thailand came to have the stitches removed. Three weeks had already passed since the surgery. The incision was sutured with dissolving thread. Of course, the thread did not dissolve and remained in the scar... Dissolving thread is actually removable. It takes a long time to dissolve and disappear. It does not dissolve so much that you do not need to remove the stitches immediately. I saw a scab at the suture site inside the nostril, so I thought maybe... When I proceeded with the stitch removal, as I expected, the skin at the suture site had necrotized and the wound had opened up. There was also some infection and inflammation at the wound, so I first took antibiotics, but there are many cases where dissolving thread sutures do not dissolve and remain, causing inflammation and infection. I cannot deny the possibility that the inflammation would have spread if the stitches had not been removed... I never use dissolving thread in cosmetic surgery, but if we do not clearly communicate to patients that there are risks, it seems that only the benefits of not needing to visit the hospital or removing stitches are emphasized.

Reading Time: <1 minuteThe other day, an AMWA event was held in Tokyo exclusively for directors and related parties.　https://www.amwa.jp/　The Advanced Medical Science Wellness Academy Research Meeting was held. Due to the COVID-1 pandemic, strict infection control measures were implemented (participants were limited to those who had received two doses of the COVID-XNUMX vaccine). Representative Director Takehisa Shimomura, professor at Fukushima Medical University, gave a research presentation and lecture on dieting, and I gave a lecture and research presentation on the next-generation health method of lung vitality. The common theme was how to convey incorrect health information as accurate information. We are very concerned about the reality in Japan where GLP-XNUMX diet injections are overly promoted at cosmetic surgery and beauty clinics, and are prescribed only online, without blood tests or consultations, and with profit as the priority. AMWA has also confirmed the need to raise awareness of these risks and problems.

Reading Time: <1 minuteRecently, I have been asked to supervise hair removal websites and check the medical suitability of articles. There seem to be very few medical institutions where doctors themselves perform hair removal with a solid understanding of hair removal theory. Nurses seem to be in charge of hair removal treatments at almost all medical institutions, but I wonder if they actually read papers and understand hair removal theory before applying it clinically. The target when removing hair is the melanin pigment of the "hair". Oxidized hemoglobin is the color of blood, that is, the color of the red blood cells in the capillaries in the dermis. The shorter the wavelength of laser light, which is easily absorbed by melanin and easily raises the temperature of melanin, the better, but in reality, if it is 400 nm, for example, it will just be absorbed by the melanin in the epidermis and the light will not reach the hair papilla or bulge area, and it will only cause epidermal burns. Also, if you want to destroy only melanin without burning blood vessels, you might think that a wavelength of 694 nm (ruby laser) would be good, but in reality, the shorter the wavelength, the more light is scattered, and with ruby's 15 nm, only 750% of the light reaches the dermis. For this reason, the wavelength suitable for destroying melanin in hair and hair roots with medical hair removal lasers is around 790-755nm, so 515nm Alexandrite light is suitable for medical hair removal lasers. In the case of beauty salons, hair removal is performed using IPL light containing various wavelengths starting from 1200nm. This is because only doctors are permitted to use lasers under the Medical Practitioners Act. For hair removal, IPL is used in beauty salons, so the wavelength is limited (IPL with a wavelength of 1-2nm was used for medical hair removal). *Factors that affect hair removal effect 10: Wavelength 30: Pulse width XNUMX: Fluence XNUMX: Number of irradiations XNUMX: Number of hair removals *Situation on the client's side XNUMX: Thickness of hair to be removed XNUMX: Color of hair to be removed XNUMX: Hair density XNUMX: Hair removal area XNUMX: Skin color These factors are taken into consideration when performing hair removal. Theoretically, the IPL spectrum is almost complete, and the only way to develop hair removal devices is to combine it with high frequency, increase the cooling power, and increase the fluence, as long as there are no problems under the Medical Practitioners Act and the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act. It is important that heat is transferred firmly to the bulge area and hair papilla to cause tissue destruction. Unlike lasers, IPL has the disadvantage that it is difficult to transfer energy only to shallow areas due to a lot of diffusion. Increasing the fluence unnecessarily can easily cause epidermal burns, so care must be taken when hair removal is performed on sunburned or dark-skinned clients. Unlike lasers, IPL is a pulsed light with the characteristics of incoherence, multi-wavelength, and scattering. It generally uses a xenon lamp as a light source, and uses wavelengths from XNUMX to XNUMX nm by cutting the short wavelength region with a filter. Depending on the application, one or two more filters are added to limit the wavelength band to be used in actual treatment. The energy intensity is not uniform, but has a peak on the short wavelength side of the oscillation wavelength band. In IPL treatment, pulsed light oscillated in milliseconds is irradiated onto the skin surface through a sapphire irradiation filter. The spot size is often a large rectangle of about XNUMX x XNUMX mm, allowing for wide-area treatment in a short time. IPL devices vary greatly in settings and performance, including the oscillation wavelength band, settable pulse width (e.g., a few milliseconds to tens of milliseconds), pulse division method (e.g., single, double, triple), uniformity of output within the pulse, and the presence or absence of a cooling device for the skin irradiation surface and the type of cooling device used.            

Reading Time: <1 minute   I am currently teaching a course called "Alternative Medicine and Ethics" at Juntendo University Graduate School of Medicine. In this course, I talk about the risks of taking supplements every year, in light of the current situation where information about supplements is overflowing and only the benefits are promoted one-sidedly. Some overseas supplements contain the same ingredients as pharmaceuticals even if they are called supplements, so caution is required. It is well known that there was a case where a person who purchased a Chinese diet supplement on the Internet died. In particular, caution is required when it comes to imported products from overseas, as the ingredients may not be as indicated. I think it is safer to never use diet supplements.
