Men's Beauty Frequently Asked Questions

You can start by discussing your concerns about facial hair and skin, as well as the look you’d like to achieve, during a consultation. At YAYOI CLINIC, we can address not only specific concerns such as age spots and wrinkles but also requests like “I want to look more well-groomed.” We’re happy to listen to men who are new to cosmetic medicine and will recommend treatments tailored to your preferences and skin condition.

Men can also undergo medical hair removal on multiple areas of the face and body, but this does not necessarily include every part of the body. At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer treatments for the face, neck, and nape of the neck, as well as the back, underarms, buttocks, arms, legs, the backs of the hands and feet, and fingers. VIO hair removal for men is not available. Please confirm before your treatment whether the areas you wish to have treated are included.

It’s never too late to start men’s cosmetic treatments—even in your 50s. At YAYOI CLINIC, we don’t base treatment decisions solely on age; instead, we recommend treatments based on your specific concerns—such as age spots, wrinkles, and body hair—as well as your current skin condition. Even if you’re new to cosmetic medicine, you can discuss your areas of concern and the look you’re aiming for during your consultation.

At YAYOI CLINIC, we’ve introduced the GentleMax Pro Plus, which is designed to treat thick, dark hair, such as facial hair. A key feature of this treatment is that you can choose specific areas of concern—such as the entire face, the area around the mouth, or the chin. We’ll assess the density of your hair and the condition of your skin to determine the treatment area and the best course of treatment.

We also treat age spots on men’s faces. At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer Q-switched ruby laser treatment to target prominent age spots. After confirming during your consultation that laser treatment is appropriate for you, we’ll guide you through everything from pre-treatment preparation to post-treatment care.

For men dealing with clogged pores, we recommend considering pore cleansing with HydraFacial. This treatment removes excess sebum and dead skin cells and is also effective for those concerned about a shiny complexion. Since there are several causes for visible pores, we will assess your skin condition to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.

Some men’s beauty treatments, such as injections and laser treatments, may cause discomfort. At YAYOI CLINIC, we take steps to minimize discomfort by using anesthetic cream or post-treatment cooling, depending on the procedure. However, since pain tolerance varies from person to person, please let us know during your consultation if you are sensitive to injections or laser treatments.

Permanent makeup is one method men can use to shape their eyebrows. At YAYOI CLINIC, we take into account your facial structure and the natural direction of your eyebrow hairs to achieve a look that complements your features. If you’re unsure about the shape of your eyebrows, feel free to discuss the look you’d like to achieve during your consultation. We’ll assess the condition of your natural eyebrows and other factors before determining the best course of treatment.

At YAYOI CLINIC, we take steps to minimize the chances that male patients will encounter other patients. After checking in at the front desk, you will be escorted to a private room, so there is no need to wait your turn in a shared waiting room. Our staff also works together to minimize the number of times patients cross paths within the clinic, creating an environment that accommodates those who are concerned about being seen by others.

Men can also consult with a cosmetic dermatologist about wrinkles. For example, Botox injections are an option for expression lines that form on the forehead or at the corners of the eyes. Since the most appropriate treatment varies depending on the type of wrinkles and the areas of concern, we will assess your condition during a consultation before determining the best course of treatment.
