Medical Corporation Palette Ueda Dermatology PΛΛK held the beauty medical experience event "THE BEAUTY EXPERIENCE NAGASAKI" at Hilton Nagasaki on June 28, 2026.

This event was held with the aim of providing the people of Nagasaki with correct knowledge of beauty medicine and access to the latest evidence-based beauty information in today's information-saturated world.

In recent years, interest in beauty medicine and skincare has been growing nationwide, and it has become an era where anyone can access a wealth of beauty information through social media and the internet.

On the other hand, precisely because there is so much information, there are increasing voices such as:

"I don't know what to choose." "I want to know what suits my skin." "I'm interested in beauty medicine but feel anxious." "I want to avoid trouble or regret after treatment."

In fact, according to government public relations online, based on data from the National Consumer Affairs Center's PIO-NET, the number of consumer consultations regarding beauty medical services has increased from 3,798 cases in fiscal year 2022 and 6,281 cases in fiscal year 2023, to approximately 10,700 cases in fiscal year 2024. In addition to consultations regarding contract details and cancellation conditions, a certain number of physical problems such as burns and wounds from treatments have also been reported.

Beauty medicine has the power to make everyday life more positive if chosen correctly. However, for this to happen, it is important not to choose based solely on trends or price, but to correctly diagnose the skin condition and select treatments and care based on medical evidence.

At Ueda Dermatology PΛΛK, based on the philosophy that "Beauty is not a trend, it is medicine," we prioritize proposing treatments optimal for each individual's skin, based on solid medical evidence and extensive experience.

Not "Laser forシミ (age spots)" but correct diagnosis first

Among beauty medical treatments, lesions that appear as "シミ (age spots)" or "moles" require particular attention.

Even if they look like the same "シミ (age spot)," the causes and treatments differ for conditions such as senile lentigines, melasma, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and ADM. Furthermore, in some cases, skin cancer can appear as a "シミ (age spot)" or "mole."

In fact, a report on malignant lentigo and lentigo maligna melanoma indicated that 37 out of 503 cases (7.4%) had a history of previous cosmetic treatments, including laser treatments and topical whitening agents. It has also been pointed out that such cosmetic procedures may delay diagnosis and make the boundaries of lesions less clear.

Therefore, at Ueda Dermatology PΛΛK, we emphasize correct diagnosis first, rather than immediately opting for laser treatment for "シミ (age spots)."

In this lecture, we conveyed the importance of correct diagnosis first, even for lesions that appear as "シミ (age spots)," and the importance of getting diagnosed before cosmetic treatment for concerning moles and growths.

Ueda Dermatology PΛΛK is the only clinic in Nagasaki Prefecture with two board-certified specialists in cosmetic dermatology and laser treatment, providing medical care that prioritizes the safety and effectiveness of beauty medicine. *As of July 2026, according to our research.

While beauty medicine can be performed with a medical license, a dermatologist is a doctor who has specialized in dermatology, and a board-certified dermatologist is a doctor certified by the Japanese Dermatological Association. Furthermore, a specialist in cosmetic dermatology and laser treatment is a physician with advanced knowledge and experience in cosmetic dermatology and laser treatment.

Based on this expertise, our clinic disseminates the principles of evidence-based beauty medicine, not influenced by trends, from Nagasaki.

Proposing a wide range of options through dual-axis medical practice: insurance-based x cosmetic

Ueda Dermatology PΛΛK values a dual-axis medical practice that combines insurance-based medical care by board-certified dermatologists with cosmetic medical services.

We leverage the knowledge and experience gained from treating skin diseases in our approach to beauty medicine, addressing a wide range of concerns from acne and atopic dermatitis to "シミ (age spots)," pores, redness, sagging, and anti-aging care.

Furthermore, a characteristic of our clinic is our dual-axis medical practice of "insurance-based medical care" x "cosmetic medical care." Based on the diagnostic capabilities of our board-certified dermatologists, we propose a wide range of options tailored to each individual, such as prioritizing cost with insurance-based care or prioritizing results with cosmetic care.

In beauty medicine as well, rather than leaning solely towards insurance-based or cosmetic care, we consider what are truly necessary options for the patient in front of us.

This is the treatment policy that Ueda Dermatology PΛΛK cherishes.

From building the foundation of the skin to beauty medicine

On the day of the event, lectures were given on the possibilities of laser treatment, the importance of continuous treatment, the concept of skincare including Zein Obagi, and building the foundation of the skin through oral and topical treatments.

At Ueda Dermatology PΛΛK, we prioritize a treatment approach that uses oral and topical medications and skincare as the foundation, and then combines it with beauty treatments such as lasers, rather than immediately performing cosmetic procedures. Actual treatment is adjusted after confirming skin type, condition, medical history, etc.

In the latter half of the experience event, we provided an opportunity for each participant to find "beauty that suits them" through free skin consultations by Ueda Dermatology staff, VISIA skin analysis, skincare consultations, Potenza consultations, permanent makeup consultations, and a general beauty consultation counter.

Ueda Dermatology PΛΛK has established a system that can comprehensively propose treatments tailored to the skin, from diagnosis to treatment, finishing, and daily care, by combining dermatology specialists, beauty medicine, permanent makeup, skincare, and Potenza.

We also invited beauty experts to give lectures and hold experience booths on skincare, Potenza, and permanent makeup.

In the skincare field, Takahiro conducted skincare consultations. Proposals tailored to each participant's concerns were made regarding doctor's cosmetics, including Zein Obagi, and daily skincare.

In the Potenza field, Norinee held a Potenza consultation booth. Opportunities for consultation and discussion on treatment approaches were provided to participants interested in pores, acne scars, redness, and skin texture improvement.

In the permanent makeup field, Ms. Tomida held a permanent makeup consultation booth. Consultations on design and procedures were conducted for those interested in creating an overall facial impression, such as eyebrows and lips.

Providing a place to access quality information in an era of information overload

The underlying principle of this event is the desire to provide access to high-quality, evidence-based information in an era of information overload.

In the lectures, we conveyed the importance of diagnosis and treatment plans based on medical evidence, rather than choosing beauty medicine based solely on trends or price. Furthermore, we positioned this event as a "learning market" where participants could easily learn, consult, and experience.

We wanted to create a place in Nagasaki and Omura where people could access, learn about, and consult on high-quality beauty medicine without having to travel to Tokyo or Fukuoka.

It is from this desire that we decided to hold the event at Hilton Nagasaki.

Through this event, we aim to make beauty medicine more accessible and a source of reliable consultation for the people of Nagasaki, and to provide an opportunity for them to age beautifully and in their own way.

Director's Comment

Beauty medicine has become very accessible today. On the other hand, in an era with so much information, it is crucial to know what to believe and what to choose.

Especially in "シミ (age spot)" treatment, it is important to diagnose correctly first, rather than judging solely by appearance. Even if they look like the same "シミ (age spot)," the causes and treatments differ. In some cases, skin cancer can appear as a "シミ (age spot)" or "mole."

We view beauty not as a trend, but as medicine. Therefore, we want to propose treatments and skincare tailored to each individual after correctly assessing their skin condition based on evidence.

We hope that this event will serve as an opportunity for the people of Nagasaki to learn about correct beauty medicine and find the beauty that suits them.

We will continue to create opportunities in Nagasaki where people can access high-quality beauty medical information without having to travel to Tokyo or Fukuoka.
