Botox Injections in Tokyo Japan

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 by our U.S. board-certified plastic surgeon, and no follow-up is necessary. The average cost for Botox Japan treating frown lines is from 30,000 yen + tax.

Our doctor, Dr. Robert Kure has been treating people with facial lines with Botox for more than 15 years since his previous practice in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. The procedure takes only a few minutes and the effects of Botox last for 4-5 months or longer for the facial wrinkles. If you have permanent lines (creases) such as in the frown lines, an additional treatment with hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm) may be effective to alleviate the deep lines.

Hyaluronic Acid (Restylane, Juvederm) – Tokyo Japan

Hyaluronic acid (HA) injection is effective to correct facial line (personally done by the U.S. board-certified plastic surgeon). Smile lines (nasolabial lines), the oblique line under the eyes, Marionette lines, lip augmentation, and more can be treated. 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. Treatment cost from 50,000 yen + tax.

Liquid face lift:

The concept of “Liquid face lift” was developed in the United States recently. The injected hyaluronic acid formulation aimed at the tear-trough and/or in the upper cheeks will give volume effects in these areas and resulting in younger looking, augmentation of upper cheeks. This technique is especially good for somebody with flat midface. It is a rejuvenating non-surgical treatment. You will find more in details by searching under “Liquid Facelift” for more information.

In our hospital, we use liquid face lift with hyaluronic acid called Judederm made in France.

Treatment cost for liquid facelift: 80,000 yen (excluding tax)

HA can be also used for chin augmentation and refining the shape of nose (e.g. higher nasal bridge).

It can last up to 6 – 9 months. It starts from 10,000 yen/0.1cc (minimum starting dose – 50,000 yen + tax). 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.

Painless treatment for Botox and Restylane can be done by using “block anesthesia methods”. Intra oral block anesthesia is first given to the sensory nerves of the face (this injection itself is not painful), then either Botox or Restylane injection is done without so much pain at all. This approach is usually done the U.S. for the patients sensitive to pain.


Mesotherapy (Fat Dissolving Injection)


Mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment to reduce unwanted fat in various areas of the body. It utilizes fat-dissolving chemical solution that was originally described in Europe many years ago. Treatment itself is non-surgical with mild ~ moderate irritation upon injection.

It is also effective way to treat cellulite of the buttocks and thighs. By reducing the superficial fat layers of these lesions, the cellulite will gradually become less obvious.

Minor bruises are seen sometimes but self-limiting. Fee starts from 25,000 yen plus tax for a palm size.

There are two types of typical mesotherapy (lipolytic injection) agents, one is Phosphatidyylcholine (PC for short), which has been known for a long time, and the other is deoxycholic acid, whose efficacy has been attracting attention in recent years. The latter comes with a salt form (Sodium Deoxycholate: DC for short) and also known for the ingredient for the famous Kybella.

At our clinic, we prepare both of the above medicines and recommend the optimal treatment method while analyzing the state of fat accumulation in each patient.

*Depending on the amount of the fat deposition, other treatment such as liposuction may be more optimal than the mesotherapy. Learn more about mesotherapy.

*If you decide to have the traditional liposuction after having series of mesotherapy, you’ll get 20% off toward the liposuction.


Other treatment

Other fillers:
In injections to subcutaneous tissues other than hyaluronic acid, historically well-known ones include collagen, artificial objects such as PMMA with artificial bone cement (Artecol etc.), including calcium phosphate (Radiesse) there is. The details are summarized below.
Dermalive (substance size is 40-60 micron), Dermadeep (100- 120 micron) – Acryl Hydrogel 40% nonabsorbable polymer and hyaluronic acid 60%. The latter is absorbed by bacteria, crosslink +, 6-8 weeks. It is used for lips, cheeks, nostrils, and so on. Evolence is collagen from Israel. It is said that the number of cross links is large and lasts 12 to 18 months.  Aquamid is a liquid plastic and we don’t think safe to use because of high chance of permanent granuloma formation.
Some of these formulations are more frequent to develop more severe lumps or granulomas difficult to remove than hyaluronic acid.
Below, a list of various subcutaneous infusions and a list of occurrence frequency of side effects like granulomas are described.
