~The Rejuvenation Treatment That Made My Heart Race~

Hello, everyone!

I am Ariko Hatate, a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Today I'd like to talk about a beauty device I fell in love with at first sight.

 

＿＿＿

When you hear "Embrace," what comes to mind?

 

“Embrace” carries meanings like “hold close,” “accept,” and "gently envelop." Overseas, it's often used in contexts like skincare, mindfulness, and self-care, making it a soft word that somehow evokes a sense of "healing" and "affirmation."

One day, I encountered a medical device bearing that very name, and I was captivated.

About two years ago, after a lecture at a cosmetic surgery conference, I happened to stop by an exhibition booth and came across a case photo. That was when...EmbraceRFIt was a before-and-after by [name].

Although the woman's facial features in the photograph remain unchanged, she clearly appears more refined, toned, youthful, and radiant.

 

 

Improved firmness refines the jawline, giving a truly rejuvenated look.

According to the information I received, this is a machine called Embrace RF from the Israeli company InMode, and "it has only just entered the Japanese market."

I was absolutely certain this finish would catch on.

 

Adding "Gentleness" as an Option in Rejuvenation Medicine

There are various options for rejuvenation treatments in aesthetic medicine.

Injectable treatments such as hyaluronic acid and Botox, as well as non-invasive treatments like HIFU and laser. Additionally, thread lifts, and ultimately surgical facelifts involving incisions.

Of course, while surgical facelifts can achieve dramatic results, they require significant downtime and demand high technical skill from the surgeon along with comprehensive general anesthesia management.

For patients, the psychological barrier is high, and many feel, "I'm not quite ready for surgery that extensive yet..."

When that happens, this is one of the options that comes up.Embrace RF!

This is"Achieve results like a facelift without surgery"This is a new concept treatment device, so

　・Only a small needle-hole-sized incision

　・Internal RF (radiofrequency) fat tightening (FaceTite)

　・Surface RF for skin tightening and restructuring (Morpheus8)

In other words,Heat energy is applied both inside and outside the skin, lifting the skin as if enveloping it.Treatment is possible.

I believe the meaning of the name "Embrace" is embodied exactly as it is.

 

 

Conviction gained from numerous cases

It has been about a year and a half since we introduced Embrace RF at our clinic.

We have accumulated numerous cases and observed various indications, but frankly speaking, it is not a panacea for all sagging and aging.

In cases of particularly severe skin laxity or when the skin is extremely thin and has lost its elasticity, it is often advisable to combine this treatment with other procedures.

However,Highly effective for mild to moderate sagging along the jawline and laxity around the nasolabial folds.will be demonstrated.

“It's changed this much without being cut.”Many people say they are happy about it.

The main aspects of downtime after the procedure are swelling and puffiness. Since heat is applied, significant bruising is less likely to occur, which is another positive point.

 

 

The Meaning and Appeal of Embrace RF

To reiterate, "embrace" carries meanings such as "to hold close" and "to accept."

This device does not force you to look young, but rather“An approach that naturally elevates one's impression while affirming their unique characteris.

For example, women in their 30s to 50s,

　・My jawline has become less defined.

　・Concerned about double chin or marionette lines

　・I've started to feel that Hyufu just isn't cutting it anymore.

　・After liposuction, I started noticing sagging.

This is perfect for people like this.

 

Additionally, it is highly compatible when combined with other treatments,

Thread lifts provide dimensional support while Embrace RF tightens the skin.

Get liposuction and achieve a lifted jawline all in one go...

Alternatively, hyaluronic acid can be used to add volume while also refining facial contours!

such as these“Strategic Rejuvenation Design”Another strength is that it can also be utilized for...

 

 

What's even more delightful isDuration。

Generally,The effects of Embrace RF last for 3 to 5 years.It is said that.

Of course, individual results vary depending on skin type, age, and lifestyle habits, but compared to “light-based treatments that revert to their original state within six months,” I believe the return on investment is clearly higher.

 

Summary｜For those who want to change naturally, yet effectively

　・I have reservations about major surgery

　・But thread lifts and light therapy alone just aren't enough.

　・Want to naturally yet effectively define your jawline

　・We want to minimize downtime

　・Preferably, a longer duration is better

I want to rejuvenate while retaining my true self...

But facelifts are scary...

——This treatment is something we'd like those individuals to know about.

 

If you're interested, let's talk during a consultation.

We'll work together to determine whether this treatment is truly right for you and what combination will yield the best results, so please look forward to your visit!
