Considering both your current youthfulness and future beauty Flora Clinic Ikebukuro Branch’s Comprehensive Anti-Aging Treatments

Treatment Design That Addresses the “Root Cause,” Not Just Appearance

Flora Clinic’s anti-aging treatments emphasize the following perspectives:

• Why is sagging occurring?
• Why is firmness being lost?
• How will these changes progress in the future?

Our physicians examine these factors and design treatments by combining therapies according to the underlying causes.
For example, when the inherent strength of the skin and tissues is diminished, we use iPS Factor or PDF-FD therapy to “strengthen the foundation.” When sagging or changes in facial contours are prominent, we adjust the “shape” using thread lifts or hyaluronic acid.
This is our approach.

1) The Concept of “Add, Lift, Adjust, Nurture”

Our anti-aging treatments are built by combining the following four roles:

• Add: Volume adjustment using hyaluronic acid, etc.
• Lift: Lifting with thread lifts
• Adjust: Impression adjustment by improving eye area sagging
• Nurture: Cellular environment care using iPS Factor or PDF-FD therapy

In this way, simultaneously considering short-term changes and long-term maintenance is a defining feature of the anti-aging treatments at Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic.

2) Medical Care Considerate of Patients Visiting from China

Among our patients visiting from China, many express concerns such as:

• “Isn’t Japanese aesthetic medicine too subtle?”
• “Will it really be effective?”
• “Will they push me toward aggressive treatments?”

At our clinic, we value the Japanese medical principle of delivering necessary changes effectively while avoiding excess.
Before treatment, we carefully explain the objectives, options, and risks, emphasizing that patients receive treatment only after full understanding and consent.

1) Avoid Unnatural Results ― Aim for “Natural Change,” Not “Fake Youth” ―

The most critical pitfall in anti-aging treatment is achieving unnatural changes that don’t suit the patient’s age or bone structure.

• A stiff-looking expression
• Overly noticeable lifting
• Volume that doesn’t match the natural facial structure

While such changes may temporarily appear “younger,” they often leave a lingering sense of discomfort in the long term.
At our clinic, we aim for changes that restore you to your former self while cherishing the impression you naturally possess.

2) Consider the balance of the entire face and body ― Don’t stop at partial treatments ―

Sagging and wrinkles are not just “localized” problems.

• Changes around the eyes relate to the position of cheeks and eyebrows
• Facial contour sagging is influenced by changes in bone structure and fat
• Decreased skin elasticity is also related to cellular environment and blood flow

Therefore, at our clinic, we do not insist on

• thread lifts alone
• hyaluronic acid alone
• injection treatments alone

as single treatments.
We combine treatments that improve the cellular environment with treatments that reshape the form, prioritizing a natural-looking balance for the entire face.

3) Treatment Design That Doesn’t Leave Future Strain ― Considering Not Just “Now” but “Years Later” ―

Anti-aging treatment isn’t a one-time solution. Repeated excessive treatments can lead to problems such as:

• Future adjustments becoming difficult
• Emphasizing sagging or unevenness
• Limiting future treatment options

At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, we thoroughly consider: What should be done now? What “should be avoided for now?”and what options should be preserved for the futureWe thoroughly consider these points when designing treatment plans.
We perform only “necessary treatments,” not merely “possible treatments.”This is the fundamental approach to anti-aging at our clinic.

1) iPS Factor ― Treatment with Components Supporting Function, Not the Cells Themselves ―

iPS Factor is a treatment involving the injection of growth factors and other substances developed by applying insights from iPS cell research.
It does not involve reintroducing cells themselves into the body, but rather uses components that prepare an environment conducive to cellular function. A key feature of this treatment is that once cultured, iPS cells can be used throughout a patient’s lifetime.
iPS Factor, derived from iPS cells created from the patient’s own cells, can be injected semi-permanently at the necessary times.
In the anti-aging field, it is used with the following objectives:

• Improving skin quality
• Preventing loss of firmness and elasticity
• Supporting tissue repair capabilities

It is positioned as a treatment that not only addresses the current condition but also prepares for future changes.
Furthermore, iPS Factor is a treatment applicable throughout the body, such as:
Furthermore, a major feature of iPS Factor is that it is a treatment applicable throughout the entire body, such as:

• Whole-body IV infusion
• Facial sagging
• AGA (and FAGA)
• Joints (e.g., knees)

2) PDF-FD Therapy (C-PRP) ― An autologous blood-derived, cell-free approach

PDF-FD therapy is an autologous, cell-free component treatment stabilized by freeze-drying plasma extracted from the patient’s own blood.
Growth factors derived from plasma have functions such as:

• Promoting skin and tissue repair
• Supporting blood flow and metabolism
• Assisting post-inflammatory recovery

In anti-aging treatments, it plays a role in enhancing the very resilience of the skin and tissues. PDF-FD therapy is also a treatment widely applied across medical fields, such as:

• Facial skin regeneration and firmness improvement
• Sagging prevention
• Joint (knee) care
• As an adjunct in the field of infertility treatment

Furthermore, it holds potential future applications in the fields of ED treatment and periodontal disease treatment.

The Purpose of Cellular Environment Therapy

iPS Factor and PDF-FD Therapy are not treatments that “radically transform.”
They serve to:

• Stabilize the post-treatment outcome
• Enhance your own regenerative capacity
• Reduce over-reliance on strong treatments
• Expand future treatment options

At our clinic, we may perform these treatments as standalone procedures, or combine them before or after thread lifts or hyaluronic acid treatments to achieve more natural and long-lasting anti-aging results.

1) Thread Lift ― Lifting without surgery, with an eye toward the future ―

Thread lift is a treatment that uses specialized medical threads to lift the skin and subcutaneous tissue from within.
Our thread lift treatment does not

• aim to simply pull tightly
• or improve only the immediate sagging

We prioritize designing the procedure with consideration for the progression of sagging over several years, avoiding unnatural tightness or stiff facial expressions.
We design the procedure with future sagging progression in mind,prioritizing the avoidance of unnatural tightness or stiff facial expressions.
Particularly for areas such as

• the jawline
• cheek sagging
• and mouth area fullness

thread lifts can naturally refine the appearance.

2) Hyaluronic Acid Injections ― Injection Design That Adds Just Enough, Without Overdoing or Damaging ―

Hyaluronic acid injections are one of the treatments most likely to produce immediate results among anti-aging therapies.
However, if the amount or injection site is incorrect, there are risks such as:

• The face appearing rounder
• Facial expressions becoming unnatural
• Increased discomfort with age

At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, we place great importance on comprehensively evaluating bone structure, muscle movement, and skin thickness to create natural three-dimensional contours using the minimum necessary amount.
At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, we comprehensively evaluate

• bone structure
• muscle movement
• skin thickness

to prioritize creating natural dimensionality with the minimum necessary amount.
Hyaluronic acid is used for purposes such as

• correcting hollows
• adjusting contours
• improving shadows that make one look older

aiming not only for a “younger appearance” but also for an impression that is “not tired-looking” and “free of unnaturalness”.

What We Value in Shaping Treatments

While thread lifts and hyaluronic acid offer easily noticeable changes, they also carry risks from overdoing it.
Therefore, our clinic emphasizes:

• Combining treatments that optimize the cellular environment
• Phased treatment, avoiding doing everything at once
• Designing with room for future adjustments

We believe true anti-aging isn’t just about “looking beautiful now,” but staying naturally healthy, both physically and mentally, years later.

Aging around the eyes isn’t just a “skin” problem

Changes around the eyes aren’t simply due to sagging skin, but involve multiple factors such as:

• Excess skin on the eyelids
• Loosening of the orbicularis oculi muscle and supporting tissues
• Protrusion or reduction of fat
• Changes in how the eyebrows or eyes open

Therefore, we value not only surgical procedures but also creating an environment where cells can function optimally.

Improving Upper Eyelid Sagging ― Naturally lightening a heavy-looking impression ―

Upper eyelid sagging causes:

• Heavy-looking eyelids
• A sleepy or tired appearance
• An impression of looking older than your actual age

At our clinic, we don’t simply remove skin. We consider:

• Balance with the eyebrow and eye position
• The overall facial impression
• Future changes

while performing treatment that improves vision and appearance within natural limits.

Lower Eyelid Sagging Improvement ― Eliminating Dark Circles, Shadows, and Fatigue ―

Under-eye sagging leads to impressions such as:

• Dark circles becoming more noticeable
• Shadows forming, making you look tired
• Your expression appearing gloomy

While hyaluronic acid injections can sometimes temporarily cover this, there are limits when sagging is caused by structural issues.
While hyaluronic acid injections can temporarily cover them, they have limitations when the cause is structural. At our clinic,we determine

• where the cause of the sagging lies
• whether it can be addressed with injections
• or if structural treatment is necessary

and then select the optimal treatment option.
For example, we may perform under-eye dark circle removal (lower eyelid fat removal).

This procedure removes the bulge under the eyes (orbital fat).
It addresses the issue where, with age, the muscles around the eyeball weaken, causing the supported orbital fat to be pushed forward and become more noticeable.
A 3-5mm incision is made on the inner side of the eyelid to remove the excess fat causing dark circles. There are no scars on the skin surface, and no suture removal is needed, resulting in extremely minimal downtime, including swelling and bruising.

Our Core Philosophy for Eye Area Treatments

The eye area is particularly delicate on the face, where even slight changes can significantly alter one’s overall impression.
Therefore, at our clinic, we prioritize above all else:

• Avoiding excessive alteration
• Minimizing asymmetry
• Preserving natural facial expressions

We believe the essence of eye area anti-aging is not about making drastic changes, but about restoring a naturally youthful appearance.
We believe the essence of anti-aging for the eye area lies not in “drastic change,” but in restoring a naturally youthful appearance.
