Medical Soin Esthetic (MSE)

Skincare and Makeup Support in Medical Settings

Kao provides skin care and makeup treatments (soin esthetic*1 ) in a medical setting under the guidance of a physician as part of a reconstructive rehabilitation*2 program for individuals whose appearance has been affected by congenital conditions such as bruises, cleft lips, and hairy nevi, as well as burns or scars from accidents. This initiative is called “Medical Soin Esthetic,” and it supports patients’ QOL improvement through treatments and home care advice. Kanebo Cosmetics led these efforts for nearly half a century since 1966, and Kao has continued them since 2020.

Currently, specialists (including estheticians) periodically perform skin care and makeup using cosmetics, manual techniques, and cosmetic devices for outpatients at the Department of Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery in Kitasato University Hospital. We also advise patients on home skin care and makeup.
We are committed to helping patients lead their daily lives after treatment with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
