What is TFT (Total Facial Treatment) Hyaluronic Acid? See the forest, not just the trees! An injection approach that harmonizes the entire face.

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.

Many people come to us primarily concerned about their nasolabial folds, saying, "I just want to do something about my nasolabial folds..."
But in such cases, is treating only the nasolabial folds sufficient?
Where does the cause of that nasolabial fold come from?

"See the forest, not the trees"
When performing treatment, it is essential to view the entire face as a ”forest” rather than focusing solely on the nasolabial folds as a single ”tree.”
Beneath the surface of a single symptom like nasolabial folds lie various underlying factors, including atrophy and sagging of bone, muscle, and subcutaneous fat, as well as a reduction in collagen.

TFT (Total Facial Treatment) is,A holistic approach to facial rejuvenation that aims for balanced, comprehensive resultsis.

2. Why is it important to "look at the entire face"?

For example, haven't you ever had the experience where "even if you treat just the nasolabial folds, other areas look aged and stand out"?
Treating only specific areas without considering the entire face can sometimes make the discrepancy more noticeable.
TFT targets areas such as the forehead, temples, cheeks, nose, eye area, mouth area, and chin.Comprehensively examining multiple areas while adjusting them three-dimensionallyHere we go.

3. Regarding the Content and Composition of TFT Injection

The key point with TFT is to use the optimal hyaluronic acid formulation for each specific area.

・Forehead and temples → Adjusting skeletal structure and facial contour balance. Hyaluronic acid, due to its high water-retaining capacity, tends to become noticeably puffy over time in certain areas. Therefore, highly cohesive formulations are preferred.

・Cheek・Golgoline Mid-face volume restoration. Filling in hollows to achieve a natural fullness is the secret to a youthful appearance.

・tear trough →It has the effect of making the mid-face appear shorter. Designs vary widely depending on personal preference.

・Nasolabial folds/Marionette lines → Treatment for wrinkles and shadowing. Areas prone to becoming primary complaints.

・Chin・Mouth area・Face line → Refine your facial contours for a beautiful profile and side view.

・Lip As you age, volume diminishes and the philtrum appears elongated. This treatment can also improve fine lines and accommodate various lip designs.

As such, age-related changes can be observed in each facial feature,Rather than treating pinpoint areas,

4. How long does the effect last?

It depends on the type of lumber used.
Some cheaper options start in the 10,000 yen range, but their effects last only a few months.
If you choose well-seasoned lumber, you'll often see the benefits for two to three years.
If it's just for a trial, the former might be fine, but repeated procedures involve both pain and downtime, so...
I think it's best to add high-quality lumber with good durability at fairly regular intervals (such as once every year or two).
Those that are less likely to cause allergies or lumps, those that hold their shape well, and those that also have skin-beautifying effects, etc.
While hyaluronic acid may sound simple, there are many brands available. We discuss this in detail during your consultation.
Even within the same brand, we use different types of hyaluronic acid tailored to specific purposes.
