Dr. Iwahashi Yosuke, Hospital Director
My name is Dr. Iwahashi, and I am the Director of HADA NO CLINIC, with locations in Koenji and Kojimachi, Tokyo.
Originally trained in general and cardiovascular medicine, my personal battle with acne inspired me to branch into dermatology about 20 years ago. Despite trying various treatments, my acne persisted until I discovered isotretinoin during a medical internship in the United States.
This treatment, which cleared my acne in just two courses, motivated me to bring it back to Japan, where I have since treated over 20,000 patients.
We offer comprehensive treatments for acne, AGA (hair loss), and skin issues like spots, warts, and scars using state-of-the-art laser technology. Our anti-aging treatments include Botox, hyaluronic acid injections, and HIFU for skin tightening.
We also offer popular treatments like weight loss therapy using GLP-1 receptor agonists (Mounjaro and Ozempic) and placenta injections, which are in high demand among international patients.
At our clinic, we create and prescribe gentle, preservative-free cosmetics tailored for sensitive skin and acne sufferers.
While our doctors speak English, fluency varies, and most of our staff do not. However, please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any concerns. We look forward to welcoming you at HADA NO CLINIC!

Dr. Wakimizu Yoko, Deputy Director
Hello. My name is Dr. Wakimizu, vice director of the clinic.
I entered medical school after graduating from pharmacy school, so I am licensed as both a pharmacist and a physician.
I have a long experience as a cosmetic dermatologist, and in addition to acne and AGA treatment, I have been involved in anti-aging treatments such as treatment with various lasers and injection of hyaluronic acid and Botox.
In recent years, the demand for cosmetic medicine has been increasing for both men and women, and the cosmetic medicine market is rapidly expanding. Medical devices and treatments are evolving daily, and it is believed that they are contributing to the resolution of many people’s skin problems.
However, it cannot be said that patient satisfaction has improved in response to the evolution of cosmetic medicine. This is because, while cosmetic medicine contributes to the resolution of patients’ problems, it is also a business that makes money from patients’ problems.
Some patients may have had the experience of being aggressively recommended expensive surgeries or treatments at beauty clinics. However, I myself am not comfortable recommending unnecessarily expensive cosmetic procedures to my patients and cannot force myself to advertise, etc. I gradually became conflicted about the situation I was in.
Cosmetic practice was interesting and I found it rewarding to be able to solve patients’ problems. However, although I had a passion to study more deeply, I was thinking of stepping back from cosmetic medicine after worrying about various issues.
Just at that time, I had the opportunity to talk to Director Iwahashi of this clinic. Witnessing his sincerity in his practice, his wealth of knowledge, and his insatiable inquisitiveness, I was able to make up my mind to continue practicing cosmetic medicine. I feel that it was a fortunate event that determined my way of life as a doctor.
We are constantly updating our practice by incorporating the latest findings from research and clinical experience into our evidence-based treatments. We do not recommend any treatment forcibly, and we will choose a treatment together with you according to your symptoms.
Because I have suffered through the lights and shadows of cosmetic medicine, I strongly feel the sincerity of our clinic, and I feel a mission to continue this sincere medical system in the future.
It would be my greatest pleasure as a physician if I could support your smile. Please feel free to contact us for consultation as we will make every effort to provide responsible and wholehearted medical care.
As for English, we still have a lot to learn and there are many things that we are not perfect in. We appreciate your understanding.
