Laser Hair Removal

Q

Can I pay for medical hair removal on a per-session basis?

A

YAYOI CLINIC’s medical hair removal service offers pay-as-you-go options. If you plan to continue treatment, you can also choose a 5-session package or session passes for specific body areas. Since some plans offer special rates for members (PP), you can select a payment method that best suits your desired treatment areas and the number of visits. Please check the medical hair removal price list page for details.

Q

Can medical hair removal be performed on the nape of the neck?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, the nape of the neck is also eligible for medical hair removal. The treatment page for the GentleMax Pro Plus features case studies of nape hair removal. Since “coarsening”—a condition where hair becomes thicker after treatment—may occur in the nape area, we will assess the condition of the hair and the treatment area during a consultation before proceeding.

Spot Reduction

Q

Is it possible to target fat loss in specific areas, such as the stomach and upper arms?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer fat-dissolving injections as a targeted fat-reduction treatment for the abdomen and upper arms. This procedure involves injecting a solution into the desired areas to target fat cells. While the face and thighs are also potential treatment areas, the specific areas and the amount of solution to be injected will be determined by the doctor during your consultation.

Q

Can you target specific areas, such as your upper arms, for weight loss through strength training alone?

A

While you can build muscle through strength training, it’s generally considered difficult to target and reduce fat specifically in areas like the upper arms or thighs. If you’re concerned about fat in specific areas, fat-dissolving injections are another option. During a consultation, we’ll assess your fat distribution to determine whether the treatment is suitable for your desired areas.

Stiff Shoulders

Q

Why does shoulder stiffness occur?

A

Stiff shoulders are caused by muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and back. Maintaining a forward-leaning posture for long periods, working at a computer with your arms raised, or having a habit of shifting your weight to one side while standing are all factors that put strain on the shoulder area. Since the nature of the pain varies from person to person, it is important to identify the cause if symptoms persist.

Q

What kind of treatment does YAYOI CLINIC offer for stiff shoulders?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer “shoulder Botox”—injections of botulinum toxin—to treat stiff shoulders caused by muscle tension. This treatment aims to relieve excessive muscle tension. A physician will examine the areas of stiffness in your shoulders, muscle development, and any asymmetry between the left and right sides to determine your eligibility for the procedure, as well as the injection sites and dosage.
