Ebisu – Clinic

With summer over, it’s time for a new approach to beauty treatment to revitalize your skin for autumn. Those freckles and speckles left on your skin by the summer sun can be treated by Azabu Skin Clinic’s photo facial therapy, or peeling with photofacial and vitamin C iontophoresis. DIV—a very high potency vitamin C infusion—effectively whitens skin. Therma Cool CPT, a cutting edge skin treatment that can work its magic in only one treatment, is discounted for a limited time and comes with special services and extras, such as Titan to treat saggy faces or necks and Power Lift for the eye area. Select from other services such as AGA treatment for male hair loss, laser hair removal, fat cavitation, Botox, fillers and more. Clinic director Dr. Kawashima (A4M, ADD, ASMLS) is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and Surgery and offers consultations in English. She is a Thermacool, Photofacial, and hyaluron filler certified doctor.

Basi Pilates

Various areas – Fitness

Pilates is a holistic way to move beyond traditional exercise, combining physical strength-building and breathing exercises that cater to your headspace. Stop in at one of their 11 studios in Tokyo to get to know Basi Pilates. With some 20 million practitioners worldwide, pilates uses the mind to control muscle, build flexibility, increase strength and improve coordination in the legs, abdominals, arms and back. The deep muscles that support your skeleton are toned—not just the surface muscles affected by ordinary exercise. Pilates practice helps you access this power for the first time. Contractions can then be managed daily to improve your posture and physical well-being. During sessions, you’ll direct your thoughts inward. Concentration and breathing exercises help focus the mind. Lessons will fly by quickly—but you’ll be left feeling refreshed and ready to continue with your week.
