Face lifting · Shimbashi & Ginza
A long-pulse Nd:YAG laser reaches the dermis and the tissue below it, and the heat prompts the skin to firm from underneath. Twenty minutes, nothing cut, male patients only.
Laser face lifting starts at ¥15,000 for a full face at Shinbashi Ginza Swift Clinic in Shimbashi, Tokyo. Full face and neck is ¥19,800; a course of three is ¥35,000 for the face and ¥48,000 with the neck. The treatment uses Clarity Twin, a long-pulse Nd:YAG laser, and takes about 20 minutes. Nothing is cut. All of it is self-pay.
| Area | One session | Course of three |
|---|---|---|
| Full face | ¥15,000 | ¥35,000 |
| Full face + neck | ¥19,800 | ¥48,000 |
All treatment here is self-pay, so Japanese national health insurance does not apply. See the full price list for everything else we do.
The device is Clarity Twin, a long-pulse Nd:YAG laser. The long pulse lets the energy reach the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue rather than stopping at the surface. The heat stimulates fibroblasts, which in turn produce collagen and elastin, and the tissue contracts under the laser — so the firming comes from underneath rather than from anything being pulled or cut.
It runs at high power but with comparatively little load on the skin, and it tightens pores as well as lifting. Clarity Twin is often used as a hair-removal laser; it is used here for lifting because it reaches that depth.
This is the laser route. We also do HIFU, which uses focused ultrasound and works over a longer interval — three to four months rather than a short course. Which suits you depends on what is sagging and how deep it sits, and that is decided at the consultation.
You can be seen here without speaking Japanese. Consultations are handled with a translation app and written notes rather than by an English-speaking doctor, which works well for treatments where the decision is straightforward — repeat prescriptions, testing, hair removal — and is slower where you have a complicated history to explain. Treatment information, pricing and access details on these pages are in English. The booking system and the pre-visit questionnaire are in Japanese, so message us on LINE beforehand if you would like help completing them.

About 20 minutes. Nothing is cut, so there is no incision to recover from. How long it takes in your case depends on the area and the state of the skin.
Different energy and different depth. This is a long-pulse Nd:YAG laser reaching the dermis and the tissue below it. HIFU is focused ultrasound aimed at the collagen layer, priced per area and repeated every three to four months. Which one suits you is decided at the consultation.
It is done without cutting, which is the part people worry about. Temporary redness and warmth in the treated area are expected. Tell the doctor if it is uncomfortable.
Possibly. Treatment can be done at the same visit once the doctor has examined the skin and confirmed it is suitable; otherwise it is booked for a later date. Because this is self-pay there is no first-visit surcharge.
One minute from Shimbashi Station, a short walk from Ginza. Male patients only, and the consultation is free.
