Introduction to the SAFE Method

In a groundbreaking move, Takahashi Clinic Nerima has introduced the SAFE method, a revolutionary approach to weight loss that doesn’t require surgery. This technique is designed for those who want to lose weight effectively without the invasiveness of traditional surgical procedures. This new treatment combines three innovative endoscopic procedures performed simultaneously, allowing for a comprehensive attack on weight loss from multiple angles. This article will delve into the specifics of the SAFE method, its advantages, and the profile of the clinic's leading physician, Dr. Kouda Takahashi.

What is the SAFE Method?

SAFE stands for the combination of three advanced techniques:
1. Sleeve: This involves the surgical reduction of the stomach’s shape to physically restrict the amount of food intake.
2. Ablation: After eliminating a portion of the mucosa, this technique reduces the secretion of hormones that stimulate appetite.
3. Fundal Exclusion: This process isolates the part of the stomach responsible for a sense of fullness, leading to an overall decrease in stomach size during recovery, thereby maximizing weight loss results.

Together, these approaches provide comprehensive weight loss solutions expected to yield identical outcomes to traditional sleeve surgery. This method is particularly promising for individuals who may be intimidated by conventional surgical options.

Benefits of the SAFE Method

The advantages of the SAFE method are numerous and appeal to a broad range of patients:

• - Non-Invasive Procedure: As an endoscopic treatment, there is no need for incisions, significantly decreasing recovery time and complications associated with surgery.
• - No Hospitalization Required: Patients can go home the same day, returning to regular activities as soon as the following day.
• - Triple Treatment in One Session: The combination of all three procedures in one treatment optimizes results.
• - Ideal for Anxious Patients: This method caters to those who have apprehensions regarding traditional weight loss surgeries.

Leading this innovative treatment is Dr. Kouda Takahashi, who is the only certified physician in Japan officially performing the SAFE method, according to data collected up to May 2025. His expertise positions the Takahashi Clinic as a pioneer in advanced endoscopic weight loss treatments.

Who is the Right Candidate?

The SAFE method is generally recommended for patients who fulfill the following criteria:

• - Individuals with a BMI of 27.5 and above who seek to address obesity but feel hesitant about undergoing surgery.
• - Patients who have previously attempted weight loss through various diets and treatments without significant results.
• - Busy individuals who want to avoid the lengthy downtime associated with conventional surgical procedures.

Overview of the SAFE Method (Costs and Duration)

Approximately 900,000 - 1,000,000 yen (tax included)
Costs may vary based on the individual’s specific stomach size and shape.
