the places where you can make "smart choices."
The Smart Skin Clinic Group is a cosmetic dermatology group with multiple locations, including Jimbocho and Yokohama. Rather than operating as a single clinic, we are steadily expanding as a group united by a shared philosophy and organizational structure.
Our guiding philosophy is "Smart Essential." We rigorously eliminate the "unnecessary elements" that do not contribute to the quality of medical care, reducing costs in the process. We then reinvest the resulting savings into better staff compensation and more affordable prices for our patients. This consistent approach allows us to achieve both "quality medical care" and "prices that are easy to stay with."
Our vision and the full story →What do we value, and where are we headed? The Group Director, who leads our organization, shares his vision.
“Good for the seller,” “good for the buyer,” “good for society.” A business is considered good only when both the seller and the buyer are satisfied and it also contributes to society—this is a Japanese business philosophy that has been passed down as a guiding principle of the Omi merchants.
We consider these three aspects to be,① Patients ② Staff ③ ManagementIt is defined as follows. The specific meanings of each "yoshi" are defined as follows.
- Best for PatientsAccess high-quality medical care at an affordable price
- Staff YoshiYou can earn a salary that exceeds industry standards
- Good ManagementWe will generate healthy profits and be able to invest in future growth.
These three things only have meaning when they exist together. If you prioritize just one of them, the other two will fall apart. And in the end, you won’t even be able to protect the one thing you thought you were prioritizing.
I thought I was focusing solely on my patients, but before I knew it, I was no longer able to keep the clinic open and could no longer provide medical care to my patients. In fact, this is actually happening.
Patients can receive medical care with minimal out-of-pocket costs. On the other hand, this places a burden on the other two parties.
Under the national health insurance system, the government sets the prices for medical treatments. No matter how carefully we provide high-quality care, the amount we receive is the same as what other hospitals receive.
According to a survey of 1,629 hospitals conducted by a national hospital association, the number of hospitals operating at a loss in their core medical services was74.6%. Even when looking at the income and expenses including all subsidies, the deficit is65.0%accounts for.

When a hospital is operating at a loss, it becomes structurally difficult to increase the funds available for salaries. Salary levels are determined largely by this system rather than by the policies of individual hospitals.
The places where doctors work are also changing in practice. The number of doctors practicing cosmetic surgery between 2008 and 20223.2 timesIt has become...

Subsidies are being provided to hospitals operating at a loss. Even so, two-thirds of them are still in the red.
The sources of funding are insurance premiums and taxes. National healthcare expenditures for fiscal year 2023 were48.0915 trillion yenAs a result, it reached a record high. The breakdown is 24 trillion yen in insurance premiums and 18 trillion yen in public funds. Per capita, this amounts to an annual386,700 yenwill apply.

As a result of prioritizing the goal of reducing the burden on patients, the strain has fallen on staff working conditions and hospital operations, and society as a whole is bearing that burden. Of the three aspects, only one is currently being addressed.
There is no competition in insurance-based medical care because prices are the same everywhere in the country. No matter which hospital a patient chooses, the amount they pay remains the same. Therefore, there is no competition to attract patients.
Cosmetic medicine is different. We set our own prices. That means other clinics set their own prices as well. Even for the same treatment, prices, quality, and service vary from clinic to clinic. Patients are free to choose from among them. This is free competition.
You’ve probably hardly ever given much thought to terms like “productivity” or “utilization rate” at a hospital. In the field of cosmetic medicine, however, terms like “revenue,” “number of clients,” and “average revenue per client” are thrown around as a matter of course. That’s the difference between a competitive environment and one that isn’t.
In other words, we always have competitors.If you aren't selected, your income could drop to zero.There is no system here to protect you.
That is precisely why good intentions alone are not enough. Whether we are doctors, nurses, front-desk staff, or administrators, if each of us does not create “value” for our patients, they will not choose us. Our salaries are not handed out from some abstract source; they are paid out of the compensation we receive for being chosen by our patients.
What value does my work bring to our patients? I want everyone who works here to be mindful of this.
The savings go toward pricing, salaries, and investment in future growth. A single action has an impact in all three areas at once. That’s why we’re committed to eliminating waste.
Make it a habit to ask yourself whether your day-to-day decisions are leaning too far in one direction. Even if you focus solely on the patients, the practice cannot continue without the support of the staff and management.
When you run into a problem,Greatest Common Divisor in Three Directions——Please find an answer that satisfies all three criteria at the same time. That is what constitutes sound business management, and ultimately serves “the patients’ best interests” the most.
Unless the cost is affordable enough to make it easy to continue treatment, patients won’t be able to keep receiving the care they need. If salaries are low, good doctors and nurses won’t stay. Without profits, the clinic itself cannot survive. Good medical care simply cannot thrive in a place where these three conditions are not met.
Neither affordable prices that make it easy to continue doing business nor high salaries can be achieved through passion alone. Both are only possible once the company starts turning a profit.
Received from our patientsSalesSo, the operating costs amounted toCostThe remainder after subtracting is,ProfitThat's right. Salaries are paid out of these profits.
In other words, reducing costs means lowering prices for our patients, and at the same time, it means raising our salaries. That is why we do not have lavish interiors and carefully select our equipment.
We reduce costs and generate profits. We reinvest those profits into patient fees, staff salaries, and future growth. By maintaining affordable prices and consistent quality, we can serve more patients. As a result, revenue increases, and the cycle begins anew.
We call this cycleSmart EssentialThat's what we call it. What keeps it going is the ingenuity each person brings to their daily work.
In fact, the group performs more than 24,000 injection procedures annually. The efforts of each individual who works directly with our many patients are properly recognized and reflected in their compensation. That is why, regardless of job title,industry-leading salarieswe are able to give back in return.
There are no sales quotas or product sales targets. Because our policy is to never push unnecessary sales, you can focus on the patient in front of you without being driven by numbers.
Patients who visit because they resonate with Smart Essential tend to be calm and composed. This means less strain in day-to-day patient care, so you can work with peace of mind.
Neither our website nor our social media relies on staff showing their faces or posting personally. Because the clinic handles patient acquisition, you can focus entirely on treatments and patient care.
Our in-clinic operations are streamlined to eliminate unnecessary tasks, including digitizing everything from booking to checkout. It's a low-stress, easy-to-move-in environment.
The Smart Skin Clinic Group has "Seven Commitments" that we make to our patients. At the same time, these are the very values that all of us who work here cherish every day.
We eliminate waste that does not affect the quality of care and pass the savings on through our prices. Everyone here understands and works by this philosophy.
There is no selling by counselors. From start to finish, our physicians take full responsibility for caring for each patient.
We never use sales tactics that make patients anxious just to boost revenue. That is why we can focus solely on caring for the patient in front of us with sincerity.
We never allow the contradiction of "cheap means careless service." Our commitment to attentive, caring support is value we can offer from the heart.
We never compromise on either consideration for pain or dedication to safety. On top of that, we work without waste and with precision. Achieving both is something we hold dear.
Rather than lavish decoration, our staff personally maintain an environment that pursues cleanliness and functional beauty.
We have digitized everything from booking to checkout. This waste-free system brings comfort to both our patients and those of us who work here.
