Frequently Asked Questions About Skincare Consultations

Q

For skincare, should I consult YAYOI CLINIC or Y SKIN LAB?

A

If you’d like a doctor to assess your skin condition, visit YAYOI CLINIC; if you’re looking for product recommendations that don’t require a consultation, Y SKIN LAB is the place to go. Some doctor-recommended skincare products and supplements require a doctor’s consultation before purchase, and online consultations are also available. At Y SKIN LAB, specialized staff are available to assist you with product consultations, so please choose the service that best suits your needs.

Q

Do I have to buy cosmetics or supplements after a skincare consultation?

A

There is no obligation to purchase cosmetics or supplements after a skincare consultation at YAYOI CLINIC. You can also schedule a consultation to learn about your skin condition and the care you need, based on a skin analysis and the doctor’s recommendations. If you’d like to make a purchase, you can view the products at Y SKIN LAB on the first floor of the same building, and you can decide for yourself when to start using them.

Q

How do I choose the right skincare products for me?

A

The right skincare routine depends on your skin type, concerns, budget, and how easy it is to stick with. At YAYOI CLINIC, our doctors assess your skin condition and discuss your ideal skin goals to recommend a routine that’s easy to maintain. At Y SKIN LAB, we carry over 100 types of doctor-recommended skincare products and supplements, and you can choose the right products with the help of our expert staff while viewing them in person.

Q

What happens during a skincare consultation at YAYOI CLINIC?

A

During a skincare consultation at YAYOI CLINIC, we’ll discuss your skin concerns and your ideal skin condition, and a doctor will examine your skin and recommend a skincare regimen. Depending on your preference, we’ll take photos of your skin using VISIA and provide you with a “cosmetics prescription” based on the consultation results. If you’d like to see the products, you can visit Y SKIN LAB, located in the same building.

Q

Can I get a VISIA skin analysis during a skincare consultation?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer VISIA skin analysis to those who are interested. This analysis provides numerical data on hidden dark spots, wrinkles, and skin age, which our doctors use to develop personalized skincare recommendations. Since you’ll need to remove your makeup for the scan, please check with us when making your appointment if you have any concerns about preparing for your visit.

Q

Can I get a skin care consultation online?

A

You can schedule an online consultation with a doctor through the Y SKIN LAB partner page. Choose a date and time to discuss your skincare routine from the comfort of your home; this service also covers the medical consultation required to purchase select doctor-recommended skincare products and supplements. Please note, however, that your preferred date and time may need to be adjusted depending on the doctor’s availability.

Q

What kinds of skin concerns can I discuss during a skincare consultation?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC’s skincare consultations, you can discuss skin concerns such as enlarged pores, dark spots, and melasma. Our approach is for a doctor to assess your skin condition and, taking into account your desired skin goals, lifestyle, and budget, recommend a skincare routine that you can comfortably maintain. If you have multiple concerns, it’s helpful to list them all at once so we can more easily determine the best care plan for your current skin condition.

Q

How much does a skin care consultation at YAYOI CLINIC cost?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer consultations using VISIA for 3,300 yen (tax included). This fee may be waived if you schedule your next appointment or undergo a treatment during the consultation. If you purchase cosmetics or supplements, the cost of those products will be charged separately, so please let us know your preferences during your consultation and be sure to review our price list.

Q

Can I just get a skin care consultation at a cosmetic dermatology clinic?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, even those who aren’t interested in treatments can consult with us about skincare. If you’d like to start with at-home care, our doctors will assess your skin condition and make recommendations based on your lifestyle and budget. There’s no obligation to undergo a treatment or purchase skincare products after your consultation, so please feel free to visit us even if you just want to learn more about your current skin condition.
