Dr. Nagao’s Presentation

Dr. Nagao's presentation, titled “My Favourite Fotona Laser Treatment in Asian Skin Using Fotona Dynamis® and StarWalker® Systems,” emphasized a multi-layered approach derived from the Fotona 6D laser series. In her discussion, she highlighted:

- Fotona 6D Lip Rejuvenation Laser: A method to create youthful, natural-looking mouth contours.
- Fotona 6D Eyebag Laser: A non-invasive technique for eye rejuvenation.
- Fotona 6D Mirajet Forte: A treatment focusing on skin texture improvement and revitalization.

These procedures are gaining acclaim as next-generation anti-aging treatments that prioritize natural and beautiful outcomes without surgical intervention.

Safe Pursuit of Beauty Based on Scientific Foundations

Dr. Nagao emphasized the importance of understanding the differences between Asian and Western skin types, noting that Asian skin is more prone to pigmentation and post-inflammatory responses. To ensure successful results, she stressed the need for blending medical experience with advanced technology. The treatments utilizing Fotona’s Dynamis® and StarWalker® systems encourage collagen regeneration deep within the skin, thus improving firmness and texture from within. THE ROPPONGI CLINIC consistently applies new knowledge from both domestic and international conferences to everyday clinical practice.

Future Outlook: Expanding Global Standards in Aesthetic Medicine

The comparative analysis of clinical data from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore raised questions about establishing international standards aimed at enhancing the beauty of Asian skin. Dr. Nagao and her team at THE ROPPONGI CLINIC continue to propose enjoyable aesthetic medical services grounded in anatomical and aesthetic sensibilities, striving to create an environment where individuals can positively embrace their own beauty.
