Total Skin Care Solutions
Assess pore condition and recommend appropriate treatments
Even if you remove unwanted hair yourself, it grows back quickly or you worry about skin irritation. For such concerns, pursuing your ideal skin through hair removal is also a good option.
Additionally, those pesky dark spots you notice here and there may actually be caused by unwanted hair. Especially on the face, removing unwanted hair through hair removal can lead to pleasant changes: reduced dark spots and dullness, easier maintenance of clean skin, and improved makeup application.
At Bianca Clinic, we assess each individual's skin condition to provide comprehensive care that not only removes hair but also achieves beautiful skin. We also offer premium results by combining treatments like "Mesona J" and "Target Cool," which gently soothe the skin after hair removal.

CHARACTERISTICSHair removal
Hair removal is a treatment that reduces unwanted hair or makes it grow back less easily. Its main benefit is reducing the burden on the skin by eliminating the need for repeated shaving or plucking. Hair removal treatments are broadly divided into two types: medical hair removal performed at clinics and aesthetic hair removal performed at esthetic salons or hair removal salons. The functions and effects of each are as follows.
【The Difference Between Medical Hair Removal and Aesthetic Hair Removal】
Medical hair removal works by having the laser react with melanin pigment to destroy the hair follicles, making it harder for hair to grow back.
Laser hair removal devices used in medical hair removal fall into two categories: thermal destruction type and heat accumulation type. Bianca Clinic utilizes the thermal destruction type laser, the GentleLase Pro.
*Ginza Clinic uses the GentleLASE mini laser.
Thermal destruction hair removal devices use high-power laser irradiation, enabling them to target hair growth tissue. This makes them a popular choice for those who want to see results quickly and individuals who are relatively less sensitive to stimulation. They are also effective on thick, dark hair, making them suitable for areas like the underarms and men's beards. At Bianca, this is a highly sought-after treatment within our men's grooming services.
About the Hair Growth Cycle That Affects Hair Removal Effectiveness
When it comes to hair removal, scheduling treatments according to the hair growth cycle is crucial. The hair growth cycle refers to the period from when hair grows to when it falls out, consisting of the growth phase, regression phase, and resting phase. Laser hair removal is only effective during the growth phase. During this phase, cell division in the hair matrix becomes active, and melanin pigment becomes abundant. Since lasers react with melanin pigment, laser hair removal is most effective during the growth phase when melanin is abundant.
However, the hair growth cycle varies by body part: approximately 6 to 15 months for the face and about 7 months for the underarms. By scheduling treatments according to each area's specific hair growth cycle, you can more efficiently achieve smooth, hair-free skin. Please note that hair growth also varies from person to person, so we recommend discussing the optimal treatment interval during your consultation.
The cooling function reduces pain
Thermal destruction-type hair removal lasers offer the advantage of being effective even on thick, dark hair. However, they also have the disadvantage of causing significant pain. Nevertheless, the medical hair removal equipment used at our clinic features a cooling function, enabling hair removal with reduced discomfort.
【What kind of cooling system?】
Immediately before irradiation, cooling gas at -20 to -26°C is sprayed to alleviate pain and reduce thermal stress on the skin.
For those concerned about pain, topical anesthesia or nitrous oxide anesthesia are available as additional options (additional fees apply).
We can also recommend aftercare treatments like "Mesona J" and "Target Cool" to gently soothe the skin after laser treatment.

Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSOnly nurses certified by Dr. BIANCA will be assigned
One common cause of hair removal failures and regrets is missed spots during treatment. This is one of the issues that often arises when the technician lacks sufficient skill or knowledge.
At Bianca Clinic, only nurses who have completed rigorous training and possess both technical skill and knowledge perform treatments. Therefore, we strive to provide treatments that satisfy those who desire meticulous results and those who wish to minimize skin stress.
Please feel free to consult us about any questions you may have regarding hair removal, including concerns about the process, effective treatment cycles, pain reduction methods, and aftercare.
Only BIANCA delivers hair-free, beautiful skin
How do you handle unwanted hair removal? Some of our patients at Bianca Clinic pluck each hair individually with tweezers or shave daily with a razor. Plucking or shaving can irritate the skin, leaving it looking dull and unhealthy despite being hair-free. If you want beautiful, hair-free skin, consider professional hair removal at a medical facility.
Additionally, if pores become noticeable after hair removal, supplementary skin care treatments are another option for achieving beautiful skin. We can also recommend treatments that can be combined with hair removal, such as skin-nourishing injections, or post-treatment options like “Mesona J” and "Target Cool." Please note that some treatments, such as peels or laser therapy, cannot be performed on the same day as hair removal. If you wish to have a specific treatment on the day of your hair removal session, please inquire in advance. Alternatively, you can search for "treatment intervals" via LINE to confirm.
Hair removal is essential for men's grooming.
During the Showa and Heisei eras, ruggedly masculine men were popular. However, in recent years, more men are focusing on grooming. At Bianca Clinic, men's hair removal is also popular. The idea that "Reiwa men don't need hair" is gaining traction, and it's becoming a key point for achieving a clean-cut, handsome look.
However, since medical hair removal prevents regrowth, beard design requires careful consideration. Let's work together to determine what style to keep based on your desired look.
Bianca also focuses on men's beauty as part of our “Men's Total Beauty” approach. We offer treatments targeting thinning hair, acne scars, potbellies, and male menopause. As part of our men's care, we also provide male genital beauty services. Please feel free to visit Bianca for a consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Hair Removal
Q&AWhat is the difference between medical hair removal and salon hair removal?
Medical hair removal generally achieves results in fewer sessions. The reason is the difference in laser intensity permitted. Medical hair removal performed at clinics uses high-output medical lasers to destroy hair follicles. In contrast, salon hair removal uses low-output lasers for hair removal.
How effective is the first hair removal session?
After the first hair removal treatment, many people notice that about 10 to 20 percent of their hair falls out. Since our clinic uses a thermal destruction laser, hair typically begins to shed about 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure.
How many sessions does it take to complete hair removal?
Depending on the treatment area and hair type, approximately 5 to 10 sessions are generally required to achieve a clean, smooth result.
Does hair removal hurt?
During laser treatment, you may experience a stinging sensation similar to being snapped by a rubber band. We offer topical anesthesia and nitrous oxide anesthesia as options, so please consult us if you have concerns about pain.
What is the recommended frequency for hair removal?
For the face, we recommend a hair removal cycle of approximately every 1 to 2 months. For the body, we recommend a cycle of approximately every 2 to 3 months. However, individual differences exist depending on the hair growth cycle and previous hair removal experience.
Which areas can be treated for hair removal?
Bianca Clinic offers hair removal services for the face, nape of the neck, underarms, and back. VIO hair removal is available exclusively for women at our Omotesando location. Please inquire for details. For those seeking nape hair removal, we also offer design shaving for ¥6,600 (tax included).
Are there any precautions to take after hair removal?
After hair removal, avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and friction, and be sure to moisturize. Also, do not use tweezers or similar tools after hair removal; please wait for the hair to shed naturally. Refrain from shaving on the day of the treatment, and proceed with shaving while monitoring your skin condition.
Please tell me the cost and payment methods for hair removal.
Please refer to the price list for fees. We offer discounted 3-session and 6-session courses for multiple visits.
Payment methods for medical hair removal are the same as other treatments: cash, credit card, or medical loan. For single-session hair removal, we accept pay-as-you-go payments.
