A private salon specializing in sonic (ultrasonic) facial treatments.
The 45-minute treatment includes four steps. They use a skin scrubber to remove dead skin cells and impurities, then an ultrasonic facial treatment to revitalize the skin. Next, electroporation helps the active ingredients absorb into the skin, and the session finishes with a clay mask to calm the skin and support detox.
This course is one of the latest skincare trends, loved for its holistic approach and visible results. Each step brings different benefits to the skin, working together to improve texture, boost firmness, and deeply hydrate, leaving the skin looking healthier, fresher, and more radiant.
◆Step 1
Step 1: A skin scrubber is used to remove dead skin cells and surface impurities.
With this device, old skin cells and accumulated damage are gently removed, helping the skin renew itself more quickly. The scrubber reaches deeper layers of dirt and cleans inside the pores—something that’s hard to achieve on your own, even with daily cleansing and washing.
What Ms. Kannami (the esthetician) values most is making sure you can truly feel the treatment working on your skin.
She applies warm creams and removes them with a very hot towel, creating an overall experience that is deeply pleasant and relaxing.
The treatment combines contrasting sensations—warmth and coolness, gentle pressure, and personalized care—so it feels both effective and soothing, fully tailored to you.
◆Step 2
Step 2: The sonic (ultrasonic) facial treatment delivers fine ultrasonic vibrations—up to one million times per second—to reach the deeper layers of the skin.
Ultrasound is also said to show positive results for concerns such as wrinkles and dark spots. As Ms. Kannami runs the beauty salon on her own, there are no other clients receiving treatments at the same time. This means you have the entire space to yourself, with gentle, relaxing music playing in the background, allowing you to fully enjoy the treatment and your time without pressure or noise. It’s a completely personalized experience, where for that moment, only you exist.
◆Step 3
Step 3: Electroporation uses a gentle electrical current to temporarily create pathways in the skin, helping active ingredients such as collagen and hyaluronic acid reach the dermal layer.
During this step, the pores are gently opened so that the treatment can work more effectively on them. Visible results can be seen after just a few sessions, which is why many clients choose to come weekly. The treatment is completely painless and does not cause any unpleasant sensations. However, if your skin is especially sensitive and you happen to feel the electrical current, you can let her know at any time, and she will adjust the intensity to ensure your comfort.
◆Last step
Last step: A clay mask to calm the skin and help draw out impurities.
The mask is left on for eight minutes.
To finish, she gives you a gentle facial massage, putting the perfect final touch on this deeply relaxing experience.
Most clients are currently 50 and older, but the goal going forward is to reach more people through wider outreach and introduce this technique to younger generations as well.
Recently, there has been growing interest in beauty treatments, with many people actively researching skincare and facial techniques. Some of these clients visit the salon every week, and their deep knowledge of skin care is clearly reflected in the results. Thanks to consistent treatments, their skin maintains a youthful appearance, with improved quality, firmness, and very little visible damage or wrinkles.
A relaxing moment with the complimentary tea and sweets served after the treatment is also said to help clients feel refreshed and recharged.
During this time, clients can discuss any questions or concerns in a calm and comfortable atmosphere.
The salon is exclusively for women, and appointments are required, as it is very popular the salon is often fully booked. If you’d like to try it, this is the perfect chance to treat yourself.
