[FC Tokyo × Regina Clinic Homme SPECIAL INTERVIEW] Vol.1 Ryunosuke Sato: Grooming for Professionals

Regina Clinic Homme, which advocates the concept of 'sincere grooming,' recently invited Ryunosuke Sato, a promising young midfielder for FC Tokyo, to experience medical hair removal. We spoke with him about his grooming standards as a professional soccer player, his approach to conditioning, and his views on beauty.

"Because I am in a profession where I am always watched, I am conscious of my grooming."

Regarding his daily grooming habits, Sato said, "I am conscious of my hair during matches and how I look in photos. I make sure to keep a minimum level of grooming, including my hair and body hair." He maintains consistent conditioning by using sunscreen before practice and matches and performing basic skincare, ensuring protection from UV rays while playing outdoors.

"It's easier when there's no hair when peeling off athletic tape."

When asked about his motivation for trying medical hair removal, Sato revealed a realistic reason unique to an athlete: "I want to make hair removal easier, and it’s easier to peel off athletic tape when there’s no hair."

"I thought things that are effective involve pain."

Regarding the pain of the procedure, he commented, "Since I used anesthesia, the pain was reduced, and it was quite tolerable." He spoke frankly about addressing common concerns regarding medical hair removal.

"At least 8 hours of sleep. Continuing the basics is the most important."

For maintaining his best condition, Sato emphasized, "Regular living, a balanced diet, and at least 8 hours of sleep are essential. It's also important to sleep at the same time every day." He stressed that doing the "basics" continuously is more important than doing anything extraordinary.

He also praised the clinic, noting, "The treatment was smooth and the service was very sincere. As it is a men-only clinic, the privacy measures are high, making it an environment where even first-timers can visit with peace of mind." He sent a message to others: "I hope you will try it as a form of self-improvement and self-investment."
