What is 'Hadaiku'?
'Hadaiku' is essentially a fresh approach to skincare focusing on nurturing the foundation of the skin by addressing the deep dermis rather than just the surface layer. The treatment offers an innovative methodology, primarily through injection therapies that enhance the skin's extracellular matrix (ECM) to promote overall skin health. Leading clinics have developed a range of products specifically designed for 'Hadaiku' treatments.
At Seishin Aesthetic Clinic, experts utilize four main injection products:
- - Prulial Densify: Aimed at improving skin texture and addressing concerns like acne scars and wrinkles.
- - Rejuran HB: Provides volume and tightness, enhancing skin clarity and pore appearance.
- - Rejuran i: Targets dark circles and fine lines.
- - Bolight: Focuses on hydration and elasticity.
The costs for these treatments vary, starting at approximately 49,500 yen and going up to 93,500 yen per session.
Maximizing Treatment Efficacy
One remarkable feature of Seishin Aesthetic Clinic is the use of the VISIA skin analysis machine. This technology allows clinicians and patients to visually and numerically assess the before-and-after effects of 'Hadaiku' treatments. For instance, when tracking improvements in firmness and elasticity, the machine quantifies pore size changes that enable patients to objectively witness the results of their treatments.
