Botox treatment now available in Tokyo

As you may know, Botox is a neurotoxin that paralyzes muscles. We utilize this mechanism to immobilize unnecessary motions of muscles in frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and so forth. It is done in a very controlled fashion, therefore the risks are minimal.

Although Botox injection is done with the smallest needle available in the market and not significantly uncomfortable, we provide local anesthesia, anesthesia cream, and ice application for those who are extremely sensitive.

It is done within a few minutes usually, and no follow-up is necessary. The average cost for frown lines is about 30,000 yen.

Botox for "Bell's Palsy".  Botox has been used to treat conditions associated Bell's palsy.  Bell's palsy is a hemifacial paralysis resulted from viral infection or unknown causes.  It results in asymmetric face including difficulty in closing the affected eyelid, droopy lip, nasolabial line (smile line) and so forth.  Botox can alleviate these symptoms associated with Bell's palsy.  One of our staff (Dr. Robert Kure) has been trained not only in plastic surgery but also in neurosurgery in the United State, and is qualified to treat patients with Bell's palsy.

Hyaluronic Acid (Restylane, Puragen)

Hyaluronic acid injection is effective to correct smile lines (nasolabial lines), the oblique line under the eyes, Marionette lines, lip augmentation, and more. It works since it is a high molecular sugar that can attract nearby water to the molecule, therefore the tissue will swell up and expand.

It can last up to 6 months. It starts from 52,500 yen. The pre-treatment to reduce the pain is similar to those of Botox. It can be done without almost no pain if you wish so (additional fee may apply).

We use only genuine American or European products imported.
