Paper presentation of new technology “CERTEC (R)*” that is effective for sagging skin was held
*Talk session with Department of Dermatology, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo*
With the slogan “Changing beauty.”, YA-MAN Co., Ltd. (Location: Koto-ku, Tokyo, CEO) continues to challenge the evolution of beauty globally with the power of technology. President and CEO: Takazo Yamazaki) announced on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 that CERTEC, the new technology next to RF (radio waves),
(R)* ** (Sirtec)’ paper presentation was held at the global flagship store ‘YA-MAN the store GINZA’.
At the presentation, “CERTEC (R)* ※*
In addition to technology introductions and commentary on research papers, we held a talk session with guests Professor Sato and Project Associate Professor Yoshizaki of the Department of Dermatology, Graduate School of Medicine, the University of Tokyo, who are conducting joint research.
* ■About the new technology “CERTEC* * (R)*”
*
“CERTEC (R)* **” is “Cell Energy Regeneration”
This is Yarman’s unique technology that achieves both thermal stimulation and electrical stimulation by controlling the output frequency and distance between electrodes. “CERTEC (R)* ※*
” is effective against wrinkles and sagging by applying thermoelectric stimulation to the skin closer to the facial muscles than RF (radio waves).
At the presentation, in addition to real-time data using devices equipped with “CERTEC (R)* **”, the Department of Dermatology, University of Tokyo Hospital
Assistant Professor Omatsu gave a presentation on the results of the 8-week clinical trial. This is the American academic research journal “Journal of Cosmetic”
Based on a paper published in Dermatology | Wiley.
In the paper, “CERTEC (R)* ※*
” has been suggested to effectively improve the elasticity of facial skin, reduce wrinkles and sagging, and promote blood flow,
contributing to a rejuvenated appearance of the entire face. (A) Changes in skin firmness from before the start of the test at 4 and 8 weeks.
(B) Measuring the total volume and maximum depth of nasolabial folds using a 3D imaging device. Representative photos before study start and at 8 weeks. Depth is shown on a color scale.
(C) Volumetric changes in the face line were measured using a 3D imaging device. Representative photo at 8 weeks. The volume change from before the start of the test is shown on a color scale. (D) Decrease in face line volume and cheek volume from before the start of the study (as of 8 weeks).
* ● What “CERTEC* * (R)*” can do *
“CERTEC (R)* ※*
”, like RF (radio waves), warms the skin from the inside, activates fibroblasts, promotes the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, and gives firmness to the skin. In addition, similar to EMS, it brings about dynamic muscle movements and stimulates facial muscles, thereby improving nasolabial folds, which are signs of aging, and tightening cheeks and face lines.
In addition, “CERTEC (R)* ※*
” has the characteristic of greatly promoting blood flow. Existing technologies such as RF and EMS have the effect of promoting blood flow, but “CERTEC (R) * * *
” has an improvement effect that is about 1.5 to 2 times higher than those, and research results have shown that continued use can be expected to improve blood flow over the long term. This leads to the elimination of harmful substances discharged from aging cells and the smooth transportation of oxygen and nutrients.
At the presentation, along with previous research results that “high-frequency current enhances adhesion factors of vascular endothelial cells and stabilizes vascular structure,” we will introduce “CERTEC (R)* ※*
” is an innovative technology that not only causes dynamic
morphological changes, but also brings about fundamental rejuvenation “reverse aging” effects with continued use.

* ■Talk session – Why the University of Tokyo Dermatology Department is paying attention to facial beauty devices
*
A talk session after the presentation was held with the Department of Dermatology, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, which is conducting joint research.
We welcomed Professor Sato and Specially Appointed Associate Professor Yoshizaki as guests to find out why we expanded our research into the field of beauty and why we chose Yaman as our partner for joint research.
Professor Sato said that in the field of beauty, where needs are increasing, presenting scientific evidence will make it easier for the general public to choose a method, and said that he would like to conduct joint research with Yaman, a technology-oriented company established as a precision equipment manufacturer. He talked about the collaboration between medicine and engineering. Yarman’s beauty technology is interdisciplinary, crossing research fields that combine dermatology and electronic engineering. Specially Appointed Associate Professor Yoshizaki mentioned the unique feature of our research system in terms of working with our company: “We can quickly create the prototype machines needed for research.”
“Reverse aging” is defined as improving the skin condition and rejuvenating it gradually over time, rather than all at once. Continuous care with a home facial beauty device that improves the condition of your skin little by little is sometimes likened to “saving money for beautiful skin,” but this is very consistent with the idea of reverse aging. The viewpoint that there is also a possibility was also presented.
Through joint research with universities, we aim to verify the specific effectiveness and safety of our beauty technology, as well as elucidate the unique mechanisms that will lead to future product development. Through this paper presentation, we will contribute to the development of beauty technology and lead to further development of the beauty equipment industry.
