About Houreisen
Helping more people feel confident and comfortable in their own skin
through aesthetic medicine.
Houreisen Skin Clinic is an aesthetic dermatology clinic focused on natural-looking rejuvenation, especially treatments for nasolabial folds, wrinkles, and skin laxity. We believe patients should understand their condition and feel confident in the treatment they choose.
Our Philosophy
Aesthetic medicine that puts
your understanding and choices first.
We place great importance on thoughtful consultations as well as continually improving our clinical techniques.
We believe the most important part of aesthetic medicine is not simply receiving a procedure, but choosing it with a clear understanding and confidence in the decision.
We take time to explain what may be causing your concerns, which options are available, and the benefits and risks of each. Our goal is to help you make a decision that feels right for you.
Feel happier having your picture taken.
Smile naturally and comfortably around others.
Our goal is not simply to change how someone looks. We hope aesthetic medicine can help patients feel more positive about themselves and build self-confidence. We believe those smiles can spread to family, friends, and coworkers, creating small moments of happiness that make the world a little brighter.
At all three clinics in Osaka, Tokyo, and Nagoya, we strive to offer reassuring, attentive care tailored to every patient.
You are welcome to come just for a consultation. We can begin by talking through your concerns, with no pressure to undergo treatment.

Why Houreisen
Five Principles That Guide Our Care
Rather than deciding on a procedure first, we look together at the causes of your concerns, your goals, and potential risks, so you can make an informed choice.
We look beyond the symptom to understand the cause
Even when two patients are concerned about the same nasolabial folds, their skin, facial fat, bone structure, muscle movement, and degree of hollowing or sagging may differ greatly. The most suitable treatment will therefore vary from person to person.
We do not apply the same treatment to everyone. We assess the underlying factors and recommend options appropriate for each patient.
Learn More About Growth Factor TreatmentClear, thoughtful explanations without rushing your decision
We begin by listening to your concerns and the changes you hope to achieve. When helpful, we use mirrors, illustrations, and case photographs to explain your current condition in plain language rather than relying on medical jargon.
We explain not only the expected benefits but also the risks, downtime, recovery, and limitations of treatment, so you can decide with a full understanding.
We recommend only the treatment you actually need
More expensive procedures or a larger number of treatments are not always the best choice for a patient.
If we believe a treatment is unlikely to help, or is not necessary at this time, we will tell you openly. Our approach is to avoid high-pressure sales and recommend only options we consider appropriate.
We value natural results and your individuality
Our goal is not to create an obvious or unnatural treated appearance.
We consider your facial expression at rest and while smiling, symmetry, bone structure, skin thickness, and facial fat distribution. We aim for natural-looking rejuvenation that respects your individual features and overall facial harmony.
We support you during treatment and afterward
For people new to aesthetic medicine or concerned about injection discomfort, we take care with our techniques, anesthesia options, communication throughout the procedure, and aftercare to help you feel comfortable.
We approach every procedure with responsibility and care. However, no medical procedure can eliminate the possibility of temporary reactions such as bruising or swelling entirely.
If you are worried about symptoms or recovery after treatment, we will listen, assess your condition, and arrange a medical review or other appropriate support when necessary. Our care does not end when a procedure is completed; we want you to feel supported throughout your recovery.

Dr. Shinya Sasagawa
SHINYA SASAKAWA
The value of aesthetic medicine goes beyond appearance.
I focus on treating nasolabial folds, wrinkles, and sagging skin, with an emphasis on natural-looking results, sensible long-term care, and a setting in which patients can fully understand and choose their treatment.
Read My Message to Patients
I believe aesthetic medicine is about more than changing how someone looks.
Today, my aesthetic dermatology practice focuses mainly on nasolabial folds, wrinkles, and skin laxity. In consultations, I often hear patients say things like these:
I do not like the way I look in photographs.
I feel that I smile less in front of people than I used to.
The concern may be nasolabial folds, wrinkles, or sagging skin. But I want to understand the deeper concern behind what each patient is experiencing.
Aesthetic medicine is not simply about looking younger.
Feel happier having your picture taken.
Smile naturally and comfortably around others.
Feel more confident when meeting people.
Approach work and everyday life with a more positive outlook.
To me, these changes are the true value of aesthetic medicine.
That is why I never want to rush patients into treatment. I start by listening carefully, assessing their condition, and offering a procedure suited to them. I also explain not just the benefits, but the risks and limitations.
Most important of all, patients should be able to make an informed choice and feel that their treatment was worthwhile.
Through my experience in aesthetic medicine, I have come to believe that patients should be able to seek advice about cosmetic concerns with greater ease and reassurance.
Some people do not know which procedure they need, whether it is right for them, or how to ask questions before treatment. I felt that proceeding while still carrying those doubts could make it difficult to achieve a satisfying experience.
I founded Houreisen Skin Clinic with the goal of creating a place where people can understand their options and make choices with confidence.
I recommend only treatments that I would feel comfortable recommending to people close to me. We prioritize natural results, sensible long-term outcomes, and an environment in which patients can feel safe and supported over dramatic transformations.
We opened the Osaka clinic in 2022, followed by Tokyo and Nagoya. Today, patients visit us from across Japan and from overseas. Some come while traveling or working in Japan, and others have made a consultation or treatment at our clinic part of the purpose of their trip.
Although our clinics have grown, one belief has remained unchanged: we hope aesthetic medicine can help make our patients’ lives a little more positive.
You are welcome to visit just for a consultation. We can start by talking through your concerns together.
If aesthetic medicine can help you feel more comfortable with yourself, enjoy photographs, or smile more naturally around others, I would be grateful to play even a small part in that change.

Helping patients feel more positive through aesthetic medicine.
Having experienced concerns about his own appearance, Dr. Saito understands how difficult it can feel to take the first step. He listens to patients’ worries and helps them consider treatment options without pressure.
Read My Message to Patients
Helping people feel more positive through aesthetic medicine is important to me.
Hello, I am Dr. Hideaki Saito, Director of Osaka Houreisen Skin Clinic.
I believe aesthetic medicine can help bring positive changes not only to how people look, but also to how they feel and go about their daily lives.
I have personally experienced times when I worried about my appearance and lacked confidence.
Focusing on the same concern every time I look in the mirror.
Wanting to make a change, but finding it hard to take the first step.
That experience helps me relate to people who feel the same way.
People consider aesthetic medicine for many reasons: to look a little younger, feel more confident, or simply feel more positive. Every one of these reasons deserves respect.
During consultations, I try to listen carefully and help patients work through their questions and concerns one at a time.
I do not push patients to undergo treatment. Sometimes treatment is appropriate now; at other times, it may be better to wait. What matters most is that patients can make their own informed decisions.
Approach everyday life with a more positive outlook.
Feel a little more comfortable in your own skin.
I would be glad to help you make changes like these. No concern is too small; please feel free to talk to us.
I look forward to welcoming you to our clinic.

What Matters Most in Aesthetic Medicine
What truly matters in aesthetic medicine?
Looking younger, feeling less worried about an area of concern, or enjoying looking in the mirror a little more: of course, these are important.
But I believe something matters even more: patients should be able to choose their treatment with a clear understanding and genuine confidence in their decision.
Even when a treatment appears medically appropriate, I would not want to proceed if a patient still has unanswered questions, feels anxious, or is unsure whether the treatment is right for them.
The Principles Behind Our Care
In aesthetic medicine, there is no single answer that is right for everyone. Even when two people are concerned about nasolabial folds, they may be bothered by very different aspects of them.
Some patients want a very subtle change; others hope for a more noticeable result. Some want to understand the risks first, while others are still deciding whether to pursue treatment at all. Every patient has different priorities, expectations, and concerns.
Do not pressure anyone into treatment.
Work together until the patient understands and feels comfortable with the choice.
These are the three principles I value most.
How I Developed This Approach
My approach comes from my previous experience in internal medicine, particularly gastroenterology.
In internal medicine, you cannot make decisions based only on a patient’s symptoms. Test results or medical images alone are not enough, either.
You need to consider the whole person: their health, lifestyle, anxieties, views about treatment, and what matters to them in everyday life.
That experience taught me that medical decisions should not be made by a doctor alone; they should be considered and made together with the patient.
I believe the same is true in aesthetic medicine, perhaps even more so. Aesthetic treatments are not only about appearance; they also affect how people feel and live. This is why I place such importance on informed decisions before treatment begins.
What to Expect During a Consultation
I begin by listening carefully to each patient’s concerns and wishes. I then explain the treatment options that may be appropriate from a medical perspective.
I discuss the changes that may be possible, potential risks, points to consider before and after treatment, and whether there is any reason to wait. I aim to explain these matters clearly and openly.
Sometimes going ahead with treatment is the right choice. At other times, deciding not to undergo a procedure yet may be better.
Above all, I want patients to feel, ‘I made this decision for myself.’ My role is to provide the information they need to decide.
The Kind of Care I Hope to Provide
I do not aim to change people’s appearance against their wishes, pressure them by creating anxiety, or focus only on outward beauty.
I aim to provide care that helps patients understand their condition, know their options and risks, and make a positive choice with confidence.
If aesthetic medicine can help someone feel a little brighter when looking in the mirror, enjoy seeing friends, or live each day more comfortably as themselves, I would be delighted as a physician.
Start by Talking Through Your Concerns
You may be interested in aesthetic medicine but still have doubts. Perhaps you are unsure which treatment is suitable, whether you need treatment at all, or what the risks might be.
I especially want to take time with patients who feel this way. A consultation alone is absolutely fine, and there is no need to decide on a procedure straight away. We can begin by discussing your concerns together.
Let’s Find a Choice That Feels Right for You
At Nagoya Houreisen Skin Clinic, we strive to provide clear and sincere medical advice while respecting every patient’s concerns and goals.
I believe treatment should never begin before a patient truly understands and agrees with the decision.
Our entire team looks forward to welcoming you and helping you feel a little more positive in everyday life through aesthetic medicine.
