What is Omcare? Dr. Yukitaro of Bianca explains men's intimate area beauty care!
Driven by the belief of “bringing happiness to more people,” I pursued a career in aesthetic medicine after gaining experience in general internal medicine and emergency surgery, along with overseas training. As an internationally oriented doctor holding a UN English Proficiency Test Special Grade A, I treat a diverse range of patients. My goal is to become a true all-rounder, spanning cosmetic surgery, cosmetic medicine, and cosmetic dermatology. With a deep understanding of global beauty standards, I serve as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for TargetCool, NEAUVIA®, and CORETOX®. Known for my gentle manner, I provide accessible consultations in both Japanese and English. I pursue aesthetic medicine that transforms not just appearance, but also enhances overall happiness.

In recent years, “femcare” (femtech) supporting women's beauty and health has been a hot topic, but did you know that its male counterpart, “omcare” (omtech), is also gaining attention?
The primary adopters of Om Care are men in their 30s and 40s. It is particularly popular among affluent customers and those with a strong aesthetic awareness.
This time, let's clearly explain what “Om Care”—this modern men's grooming routine—entails and what benefits you can expect!
What is Omcare?
Homme Care is a coined term combining “Homme” (French for “man”) and "Care." While "Fem Care" addresses women's unique physical and mental discomforts by regulating hormone balance and vaginal health, Homme Care is its male counterpart. It guides men toward resolving all manner of male-specific concerns through self-care and aesthetic medicine.
Omcare primarily targets concerns related to the appearance and function of the male genital area. Additionally, it includes treatments for AGA (androgenetic alopecia), body sculpting such as muscle enhancement, and care for discomforts associated with male menopause.
These concerns are sensitive issues that many men find difficult to discuss with others. Omcare aims to provide comprehensive care for these multifaceted problems.
What is the background behind the growing attention on Omcare?
The following factors are believed to be behind the growing attention Omcare is receiving.
・Increasing number of men interested in health and beauty
・Expansion of the men's care market, including intimate area care, AGA treatment, and body sculpting
・Growing demand from affluent individuals and highly conscious consumers aged 40 and above
Recently, men's grooming has become quite widespread, with more men enhancing their appearance through self-care and aesthetic medicine. Among these, men's care is expected to address the delicate concerns unique to men that were previously difficult to discuss with others.
Additionally, among affluent men in their 40s and older, as well as those with a strong aesthetic awareness, many incorporate men's skincare into their routines for reasons such as "wanting to stay youthful even as they age" and "regaining confidence as men."
Overseas, there is less tendency to view men's sexual concerns as taboo, and they openly address men's health issues as a social challenge.
Awareness of this trend is finally growing in Japan, and men's grooming—including omu care—is gradually becoming known beyond just the aesthetically conscious crowd. Recently, various men's grooming and omu care products have been appearing and gaining attention, showing signs of further spreading throughout Japan.
Enter the era of open male genital treatment! Om Care: Enhancing Men's Appeal
Many people probably imagine specialized treatment at a urology clinic when it comes to concerns about men's intimate areas.
However, circumcision procedures and ED treatments performed in urology departments tend to focus more on restoring function rather than pursuing aesthetic appearance. In the past, many men felt embarrassed about seeking such treatments in urology, and it seems many quietly bore their concerns about their intimate areas without sharing them with others.
However, as men's intimate care—which addresses both functionality and appearance—gains attention, it has come to be seen as a positive means of enhancing male appeal. Many men have gained a youthful, energetic impression that belies their age by gaining confidence and peace of mind through the effects of men's intimate care.
What is Om Care, the goal of Bianca Clinic?
At Bianca Clinic, we offer comprehensive and fundamental support care for our male clients through our “Men's Total Beauty” approach, focusing on three key perspectives: appearance, function, and mental well-being.
Specifically...
・Male genital cosmetic procedures (penile hyaluronic acid injections and VIO hair removal)
・Aesthetic internal medicine treatments such as natural hormone replacement therapy and peptide therapy
・AGA Treatment
・Body sculpting procedures such as liposuction and muscle augmentation
・Skin treatments for acne scars, dark spots, and sagging skin
These treatments aim to improve men's long-term quality of life (QOL), not just provide symptomatic relief. If you're struggling with male-specific concerns that are difficult to discuss with others, please consult Bianca. We warmly welcome those unfamiliar with Om Care—whether you're wondering "What does Om Care actually do?" or feeling uncertain, thinking "Is Om Care suspicious?"
At Bianca, we offer a variety of options and provide suggestions to help enhance the appeal of our male clients.

Dr. Yukitaro Ikeda Profile
https://biancaclinic.jp/doctor/ikeda/
After graduating from university, he built his career as a physician in general internal medicine and emergency surgery. Armed with exceptional language skills and knowledge—including a top-tier UN English proficiency certification—he further honed his skills in overseas medical settings. Driven by a desire to "contribute to the happiness of more people," he then transitioned into the field of aesthetic medicine.
With over 10,000 cases in the surgical field—the foundation of aesthetic medicine—and having served as director at multiple clinics, he later traveled the world as a backpacker. Through encounters with numerous patients, he established his vision of a physician as a “true all-rounder” capable of providing cross-disciplinary care, unconstrained by nationality, gender, or gender identity.
Currently at BIANCA CLINIC, she handles all procedures in cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and cosmetic internal medicine, focusing primarily on double eyelid suture techniques and dark circle removal. She actively incorporates advanced overseas techniques and formulations such as “FOX EYELIFT” and "Barbie Botox." Recently, under the concept of "Men's Total Beauty," she has also expanded her practice to include various men's aesthetic medical treatments, such as male genital aesthetics (Om Care), specifically targeting male clients.
