"Surprising at Just 130,000 Yen! Exploring Recommended Clinics for Medical Hair Removal with Only 5 Sessions"

Considering Medical Hair Removal, I Did Some Research＊

It's an era where hair removal is the norm for everyone.

A classic topic of conversation when discussing hair removal with friends or colleagues is, "Did you go to a salon, or did you choose medical?"

@misamisa24

Salon hair removal, also known as beauty salon hair removal or light hair removal, is done at esthetic salons, and it has the following characteristics:

✅ Relatively inexpensive

✅ Not very painful due to lower power of irradiation

✅ However, it doesn't completely eliminate hair follicles, so it temporarily reduces hair but allows it to grow back

✅ Usually requires about 20 sessions (approximately 2 years)

On the other hand, medical hair removal done at medical institutions has the following features:

✅ Strong irradiation power, which can be quite painful for some individuals

✅ However, it can destroy the tissue from which hair grows

✅ Can achieve almost permanent hair removal in about 5-6 sessions (as soon as in about six months)

This is the key difference.

I've often heard stories of people who, lured by cheap campaigns, attended a famous esthetic salon for years during their student days, and then had to redo hair removal at a medical facility after becoming a working adult, because salon hair removal allowed hair to grow back normally.

Therefore, the correct choice if you want to say goodbye to unwanted hair forever is to opt for medical hair removal.

Additionally, nowadays, there are many clinics where you can apply for medical hair removal at even lower prices than when we were students, almost as cheap as hair removal salons!

Given this, it makes sense to choose medical.

There Are Two Types of Medical Hair Removal＊

Medical hair removal involves two types of hair removal devices: "heat storage laser" and "thermal destruction laser."

Different clinics use different devices, so let's explain the differences.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

▶ "Heat Storage Laser"

This method uses low-power laser to gradually apply heat and destroy cells in the [bulge area] that give commands to produce hair.

▷ "Thermal Destruction Laser"

This method uses high-power laser to concentratedly irradiate and destroy [hair papilla and hair matrix cells].

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see from this diagram, the hair papilla and hair matrix are located deeper than the bulge area, and destroying them causes hair to fall out about a week later and prevents it from regrowing.

Therefore, the "thermal destruction laser" is said to provide noticeable results in a shorter time.

That said, data also shows that "heat storage laser" can be effective in about 3-4 weeks, so the ultimate effects are nearly the same.

Both methods (especially the thermal destruction type) involve strong pain, and individuals vary in their tolerance to pain.

It seems good to first attend a consultation and hear what the doctor has to say.

Recommended Medical Hair Removal Clinics ❶ Riala Clinic

Riala Clinic is a clinic specializing in full-body medical hair removal with locations in Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Yokohama, Nagoya, Sakae, Kyoto, and Fukuoka.

With 5 sessions, hair removal can be completed in as little as six months＊

It's a bit exciting to think that in six months, your skin will be smooth without the need for hair removal.

There are several plans, but the entire body 5-session course excluding VIO and the face is priced at 141,900 yen (tax included).

I thought full-body medical hair removal would cost over 200,000 yen, so this feels inexpensive...!

The hair removal device used is of the heat storage type, which is reportedly quite painless.

CREA Clinic is a women's medical hair removal specialty clinic located in Shinjuku and Shibuya.

The cheapest full-body hair removal course excluding VIO and the face is priced at 173,400 yen (tax included). Again, below 200,000 yen!

You can choose between thermal destruction type and heat storage type machines.

Another feature of CREA Clinic is that it offers many free bonuses other than hair removal.

- After treatment, you can enjoy beautiful skin aromatherapy (usually just a face pack is placed on the face)

- You can choose your favorite pillow

- There are warming beds (it's great because you're naked during treatment and the gel can make you cold!)

- You can have a personal electric shaver

- Treatment costs and medicines for any trouble will be included without extra fees

Recommended Medical Hair Removal Clinics ❸ Jibun Clinic

Jibun Clinic is a medical hair removal clinic located in Ginza, Tachikawa, Machida, Kitasenju, Ueno, and Omiya. It’s a sister clinic of the well-known Alicia Clinic.

The plans here are a bit different from others＊

A full-body 10-session course including VIO is priced at 220,000 yen (tax included).

If you can have 10 sessions of medical hair removal, it seems that even those who are originally hairy can become perfectly smooth＊

However, if you state, "I was satisfied with 6 sessions," you can get a refund for the remaining 4 sessions, which is 88,000 yen.

In other words, you start by signing up for 10 sessions and then decide the actual number yourself after trying it out. It’s reassuring that there are no fees for stopping partway through.

They use the heat storage type, and there’s also a trial plan for 500 yen, making it easy to test this clinic.

Recommended Medical Hair Removal Clinics ❹ Lucia Clinic

Lucia Clinic has locations in Yokohama, Omiya, Kawasaki, and plans to continue opening new branches in the Kanto region.

The plan for the full-body hair removal 5-session course is priced at 132,000 yen (tax included). It's quite reasonable.

Despite being inexpensive, they use a triple laser system that can switch between three types of equipment tailored to your skin and hair quality, which is a great point＊

Since it’s the thermal destruction type, it’s likely to provide noticeable results, making it a value-for-money clinic.

Recommended Medical Hair Removal Clinics ❺ Mira Clinic

Mira Clinic is a medical hair removal clinic located in Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Fujisawa, and Kyoto.

The full-body hair removal 5-session course costs 174,000 yen (tax included). The fast pace of completing treatments in about 5 months, doing one treatment per month, is attractive.

It's impressive that starting just six months before a wedding would be possible.

They use a heat storage device with low pain and adjustable output. It's also suitable for delicate skin, including sunburn, atopic dermatitis, and acne scars.

The gel applied during treatment has anti-wrinkle effects, helps prevent pigmentation, reduce dark spots, and has a calming effect, so it feels like you’re getting both hair removal and beauty care at once.

I Want to Start Medical Hair Removal＊

I somewhat thought that medical hair removal would cost between 200,000 to 300,000 yen, but I was surprised to find many clinics offering it for under 200,000 yen, excluding VIO and the face.

After all, I would be happiest to eliminate hair from my armpits, arms, legs, and back, so,

✅ it's easy to access from home

✅ the atmosphere of the salon seems nice

✅ lately, many clinics have Instagram accounts, so I’ll check them out

✅ I think I’ll find a good clinic

I’m planning to visit one of these clinics.

Whether for wedding beauty or throughout my life, having hair removal done is convenient, important, and definitely a worthwhile investment in myself.

(I’ve heard that when aging and being in a caregiving position, having done hair removal is more hygienic and makes it easier for caregivers too...)

For those wondering about or considering medical hair removal, please do visit a free consultation session.

I'm 27 as well, but I will muster the courage to get started on medical hair removal.
