Supervising Physician
Ayori Yokoyama

My journey into aesthetic medicine stems from a desire to help enrich and beautify lives beyond simply treating illness. My specialties include hyaluronic acid, Botox, and thread lifts. I provide treatments that enhance each individual's unique qualities and bring out an elegant, natural beauty. For concerns around the eyes that are difficult to improve with dermatology alone, I also perform surgical procedures. By integrating dermatology and surgery, I holistically balance the entire face. With three periods of overseas study, I am also able to provide consultations in English.

Hello!

I am Ayuri Yokoyama, a plastic surgeon and cosmetic dermatologist.

 

Bianca is finally launching!
The "ADVATx Laser" has been getting a lot of attention lately! For those new to it, here's an easy-to-understand explanation of what this treatment actually is.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

1. What is ADVATx Laser?

ADVATx emits at 589 nm (yellow) and 1,319 nm (infrared).Two wavelengths can be switched and irradiated from a single handpiece.This is the latest laser device.
Comprehensive approach from the skin's surface to its deepest layersIts defining feature is its capability, and it has also received FDA and CE approval.

2. Characteristics of Each Wavelength

・589 nm (yellow)
Acts on redness, blood vessels, and inflammation

・1,319 nm (infrared)
Promotes collagen regeneration, regulates sebum production, and firms the skin

By combining both wavelengths,Redness improvement and skin beautification treatments can be performed simultaneously.

・Senile angioma

・Acne・Acne scars

・Melasma (liver spots)

・Pigmentation

4. Benefits of ADVATx

・Short downtime(to be discussed later)

・Minimal pain (no anesthesia required)

・Suitable for a wide range of skin types

5. Treatment Process

⑤ Makeup and facial cleansing are permitted starting on the day of the procedure.

6. Regarding Downtime

A major feature of the ADVATx laser isMinimal downtimeThat is the case.
However, it is not "zero"; after irradiation, the following reactions may occur.

・Redness:Disappears within a few hours to the next day

・Hot flashesA mild warmth lasting several hours

・Swelling or itchingIn rare cases, symptoms may persist for several days.

When combined with spot irradiation by a physician, redness may persist for several days, but it does not significantly restrict daily activities.
I think it's the kind of thing that can be covered up with concealer.

Points
・Makeup is permitted starting the day of treatment
・Sun protection and moisturizing are essential
・We recommend scheduling your treatment about one week before the event, rather than right before.

7. Changes You Notice After the First Session

・Redness and dilated blood vessels improvement

・Brightening skin tone

・Tightness

・With repeated treatments, concerns such as enlarged pores, fine lines, and melasma can be improved.
