Here, we’ll explain the salary structure and philosophy shared by all physicians in our group. Details regarding work styles, roles, and conditions for each position are summarized on the respective position pages.
WHY SMART SKIN
Three Attractive Aspects of Working as a Doctor
We have established systems that provide high salaries and an environment where doctors can focus on patient care.
-
01Salary
The savings are passed on to employees in the form of higher pay.
We’ve eliminated flashy interiors and excessive advertising and streamlined the processes surrounding patient care. We reinvest the savings we’ve generated into keeping our prices affordable and ensuring fair wages for our staff.
-
02Clinical Environment
No sales quotas, no sales targets, and no social media posts
We do not set sales targets for individual staff members. Counselors do not engage in sales activities. Since the group handles client recruitment, there is no need for individuals to promote themselves or seek out specific clients.
-
03Case Studies
There are many cases, so you can gain experience
Since we focus primarily on skin-rejuvenation injections, we see a large number of cases involving these procedures. In addition to our locations in Jimbocho, Yokohama, and Hatchobori, our Omiya clinic is scheduled to open in mid-October 2026. We plan to continue expanding our network to a total of 20 clinics.
Clinical Performance by the Numbers
- Annual Injection Treatments24,320treatments
- Products We Handle35more than one dose
- Repeat Rate90Over %
- Patient Satisfaction92.6%
* Combined figures for the Jimbocho Clinic (June 2023–March 2026) and the Yokohama Clinic (July 2025–March 2026). The annual period for injection treatments is February 2025–February 2026. Repeat visit rate and customer satisfaction are for fiscal year 2025 (customer satisfaction based on in-clinic surveys).
SALARY
How Salaries Work
In addition to your base salary, performance-based incentives are added and reflected in your monthly pay.
Salary consists of a fixed monthly base pay and performance-based incentives. Incentives are calculated using our Group’s proprietary “Professional Human Resources System.”
What Is a Professional Human Resources System?
This is a system in which performance is evaluated based on predetermined rules, and the results are reflected in monthly pay as incentives. The two metrics used to measure performance are sales and customer satisfaction.
The rules apply equally to everyone and are stated upfront. They do not change based on the evaluator’s personal impressions or discretion. Just like in professional sports, the results achieved within the established rules directly determine the reward. This is why we call it “Professional.”
The factors included in the calculation are specified for each position and are listed on the page for each position.
Reasons for No Pay Raises or Bonuses
Our group does not have a pay raise system or a bonus system. This is because a system where compensation increases based on seniority does not align with performance. Rather than paying bonuses twice a year in a lump sum, we reflect performance-based compensation in the monthly salary for the month in which the results were achieved.
Understanding Sales Quotas and Revenue
We do not set sales targets for individual employees, nor are they asked about their progress toward meeting those targets.
On the other hand, both affordable prices—which make it easier for patients to continue receiving care—and the salaries of doctors and staff are only possible once the practice turns a profit. For this reason, our evaluation metrics include both revenue—which supports the business—and patient satisfaction—which reflects the quality of care. This is because evaluating performance based solely on revenue fails to reflect the work of doctors who provide thorough care, and leaves room for unnecessary recommendations.
GUIDELINE
"Smart Guidelines": Criteria for Decision-Making
Just as there are clinical guidelines for medical care, our group has its own “Smart Guidelines.” Just as clinical decisions are guided by clinical guidelines, our group’s responsibilities, compensation, clinical environment, and working conditions are derived from the Smart Guidelines.
The Smart Guidelines consist of the following two points. They serve as criteria for making decisions based on what is best for the entire institute or group, without being biased toward any one person’s opinion.
Our Group's Decision-Making CriteriaSmart Guidelines
1
A Win-Win-Win Situation
Patients, staff, and management—these three parties,
Conditions that hold simultaneously
2
Smart Essential
Eliminate waste, and
Investing where it's needed
If you focus on just one of these, the others will suffer, and ultimately, you won’t be able to sustain the business. That’s why our goal is to ensure all three elements are balanced simultaneously, and to achieve this, we eliminate waste. The savings from this effort translate into prices that are easier to sustain, higher salaries, and investments in future growth.
To Everyone
My name is Ishii, and I am the Chief Medical Director of the Smart Skin Clinic Group.
Our group establishes decision-making criteria in advance. If we were to make decisions on a case-by-case basis without established criteria, the outcome would vary depending on the person making the decision and the circumstances. I believe this is not an ideal situation for doctors, staff, or patients.
Just as clinical guidelines are revised in line with advances in research, our group’s policies may also be revised in response to changes in the environment. Our approach is to adjust our methods rather than change our standards.
We would be delighted to work with anyone who shares this perspective.

COMMUNICATION
How to Communicate with and Interact with Patients
Since we do not have counselors on staff, the way doctors communicate and interact with patients determines their level of satisfaction.
In line with the Smart Essential philosophy, our group does not employ counselors. Physicians handle everything—from the initial consultation to determining the treatment plan and performing the treatment. It is also up to the physician to decide what to recommend and what not to recommend.
For this reason, patient satisfaction varies greatly depending on how doctors communicate and interact with patients. Patient satisfaction is also one of the metrics used to evaluate performance. That is why all of our doctors are committed to maintaining a consistent approach to communication and patient care that instills confidence and reassurance.
Refining Your Appearance, Voice, and Speech
According to findings by American psychologist Albert Mehrabian, the majority of the impression we form of someone we meet for the first time is based on their appearance—such as facial expressions and mannerisms—as well as the tone and speed of their voice.
This does not mean that the content of the explanation is unimportant. It means that even if you convey the same information, how you convey it can change how the patient perceives it.
Appearance (Visual)
A neat and clean appearance. Calm and composed demeanor. Greet patients while standing and speak while facing them.
Voice (Hearing)
A calm tone and pace. Don’t interrupt the speaker; offer acknowledgments.
Words (Language)
I’ll start by explaining what we’re going to do next. I’ll rephrase any technical terms, show empathy, and make sure I haven’t missed anything.
None of these procedures require any special skills. What’s important is to perform them to the same standard for every patient, every time.
"7 Promises" That Doctors Also Keep
- 01Transparent pricing
- 02Medical care takes center stage (led by physicians)
- 03No high-pressure selling whatsoever
- 04Thoughtful, caring serviceI value this above all else
- 05Careful and efficient treatment
- 06An essential, clean space
- 07A smooth experience with no wait times
This is not only a promise to our patients, but also a standard that everyone who works here adheres to. In particular,"Thoughtful Service"This is something that is left up to each individual. Greeting guests with a smile, offering reassuring words when they’re anxious, and performing treatments with care. While no special skills are required, our group believes that failing to do these things is just as unacceptable as high-pressure sales tactics.
