Your doctor
Dr. Takahiro Shimizu
Director, BEA AGA CLINIC — M.D., Ph.D., Board-certified radiologist
As seen on Japanese national TV: appeared on Nippon TV’s “DayDay.” and Fuji TV’s “Live News It!” (2026); his expert comments were featured on Nippon TV’s “news every.”. His book on hair-loss treatment will be published in October 2026.
“I see every patient myself — from your first consultation through to your follow-up visits. You will not be handed over to a salesperson, and you will never be pushed into a treatment you do not need.
Losing your hair in a country where you don’t speak the language can feel isolating. Please don’t worry about your Japanese — we will take the time to understand each other. Come and talk to me first, and decide afterwards.”
Can I be treated if I don’t speak Japanese?
Yes — please don’t let language stop you. To be honest with you: we are not fluent English speakers, so we use translation tools during consultations. It is not perfect, but we take as much time as you need, and we keep checking that we have understood each other properly. Nobody will rush you.
If you prefer, you may also bring a Japanese-speaking friend, or write your questions down in advance (this often works best for medical details).

Hair loss treatment is not covered by Japanese national health insurance (it is classified as elective treatment), so payment is out of pocket. We accept cash and credit cards. Monthly prices above are based on 12-month plans; 1-month and 6-month options are also available (for example, the prevention plan is ¥3,300 for a single month). The prices listed are all you pay — there are no hidden fees. If you choose a 12-month plan and stop partway, the cost of medication not yet dispensed to you is refunded. A blood test (mail-in kit checking liver function) is free of charge when the doctor considers it medically necessary; an optional test at your request is ¥5,500. Prices as of August 2026 — please see our price page for full details.

Frequently asked questions
QCan I be treated if I am only visiting Japan?
Hair loss treatment requires ongoing use of medication, so it is best suited to residents. If you are visiting short-term, please discuss your situation at the consultation — we will be honest about whether treatment makes sense for you.
QAre the medications the same as in my country?
We use finasteride, dutasteride and minoxidil — the same active ingredients used worldwide. Medication in Japan is often less expensive than in Europe or North America.
QIs my visit confidential?
Yes. Consultations take place in private rooms, and the clinic is designed so that you are unlikely to encounter other patients.
