Treatment guides

Every guide here opens with the reason not to have the treatment, before it gets to anything else. That is not a style choice. If the first honest thing you read about a procedure is the part that might rule you out, you can trust the rest of it — and you can stop reading early if it does.

日本語 2

Written in Japanese from scratch, not translated. Japanese demand is dermatology, not surgery — the two most searched terms are pigmentation removal and Rejuran, and together they are over half of it. A translated surgery guide would have answered a question nobody is asking.

Not written yet

7 of the 10 treatments priced on this site do not have a guide yet. They have prices, recovery timelines and comparison tables, but not the long read. We would rather list them here than let the gap look like an oversight.

How these are written

  • The bad news comes first. Not buried in a “considerations” section near the bottom. If one session will disappoint you, that is the opening paragraph.
  • One sentence per line. These are read on a phone, often on a plane. A dense paragraph is skipped; a line is read.
  • No invented doctor's voice. We are not clinicians. The first person in these guides is the person who books your appointment and sits in the consultation room as your interpreter, because that is what we actually do. Medical judgement is left to the clinic, and we stop at telling you what to ask.
  • Prices in numbers. A percentage without a base price is not information, and a “contact us for pricing” button is not either.
