dermatology
You can turn to us for any problem with your skin, including nails and hair. We are specialized in acne management, offering a wide range of treatment options. The mainstay of acne treatment is medication, but there is a discrepancy between the acne medications available and/or recommended in Japan and outside Japan. They are mostly, if not all, available in our clinic, including Diane 35® (contraceptive pill for acne patients) and isotretinoin (Accutane® or Roaccutane®). In addition, we have our own products that are highly effective topical agents. By making a logical choice from a wide variety of drugs on the basis of the patient's symptoms and history and further adjusting the regimen depending on the reaction, all acne problems are essentially curable.
Skin cancer screening is something that especially people with fair skin from sunny parts of the world (like Down Under and the West Coast) often visit our clinic for. As cosmetic surgeons we always try to avoid unnecessary biopsies and surgeries, but when we cannot, techniques are chosen deliberately and procedures are performed with utmost care so as to optimize the cosmetic result.
Eczema and other chronic skin disorders that are induced or exacerbated by stress and also as a result of adaptation problems to environmental changes are typically seen among people who move to other countries. We are familiar with these issues and generally competent in their management.
