In this article, we’ll introduce three body care options available at YAYOI CLINIC, along with estimated treatment durations and recommended frequency.

Unwanted body hair is a concern during the hot summer months, when you want to wear clothes that reveal more skin, such as on your arms and legs. By starting medical hair removal in the winter, you can more easily reduce the burden of self-removal by the time summer rolls around.
Repeated shaving during the summer, when UV rays are strong, can lead to inflammation. Reduce the amount of hair and keep your summer self-care routine to a minimum.
