KURUBI 久留米総合美容外科

What KURUBI 久留米総合美容外科 does

KURUBI 久留米総合美容外科 (Kurume Total Beauty Clinic) is a privately held, single-location aesthetic medical clinic in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, operating continuously since 2006 inside the Nishitetsu Hanabatake Station building. The clinic delivers an integrated portfolio across five service lines: cosmetic dermatology (picosecond, Q-switch ruby, CO2, IPL, RF microneedle, HIFU, electroporation, chemical peel, subcision, regenerative injectables, botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid fillers, beauty IV drips, tattoo removal, medical piercing), cosmetic surgery (double eyelid surgery via burial and incision methods, epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, sub-brow lift, lower blepharoplasty including the Hamra method), insurance-covered medical treatments (ptosis repair, entropion correction, inflammatory acne), medical hair removal using the GentleMax Pro Plus dual-wavelength laser, and men's health (AGA and ED prescriptions). Its flagship commercial offering is the proprietary "Dr. Customized Skin Treatment" program, in which physicians perform image-based skin diagnosis and combine 3-4 device modalities per session at tiered price points from ¥38,500 to ¥99,000.

The clinic's underlying technology stack is a broad multi-modality device matrix unusually deep for a regional Japanese clinic, including GentleMax Pro Plus (755nm Alexandrite + 1064nm YAG), Sylfirm X microneedle RF, XERF dual-frequency monopolar RF, Ultracel Zi HIFU (0.5mm depth increments), Nordlys IPL (first in Japan with three regulatory approvals), PicoSpot/PicoToning/PicoFractional systems, Q-switch ruby, CO2RE, CureJet needle-free jet injection, and electroporation. This enables physician-directed combination protocols rather than single-procedure sales. Supporting retail revenue comes from clinic-exclusive doctor's cosmetics lines (POLA Dive, Basic Care AZ, Collage Repair, Beautiful Skin, Plus Restore) for pre/post-treatment home care.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and service-based: customers are acquired through the clinic website, educational blog content, Instagram, YouTube, and LINE, with 24-hour web reservation and phone booking. Revenue is generated primarily through per-procedure self-pay fees and bundled treatment courses (notably hair removal 5- to 10-session packages), supplemented by national health insurance reimbursements for functional procedures and prescription medication sales for men's health. The physician roster — Director Iha Kouki, Dr. Hayashi Minoru (multi-board-certified specialist), and Dr. Hayashi Natsuko — performs all customized diagnoses directly rather than delegating to nurses or counselors. The clinic has cumulatively served over 20,000 customers since 2006 and serves the Kurume, Tosu, and broader Fukuoka/Kyushu catchment. No external funding, parent company, M&A activity, or financial disclosures are present in the public record.

Direct peers

• AGA Skin Clinic: Specialized Japanese clinic chain focused on male-pattern hair loss treatment using finasteride/dutasteride. Directly comparable to KURUBI's men's health (AGA) revenue stream introduced in 2023, though at much larger national scale.
• Shinjuku Medical Beauty Clinic / generic urban Japanese aesthetic clinic: Single-location urban Japanese aesthetic clinics offering similar menu of laser, IPL, injectables and skin rejuvenation with board-certified physicians. Closest functional analogue to KURUBI's single-station, physician-led, multi-modality clinic model.
• Aoyama Beauty Clinic (青山ビューティークリニック): Private Japanese aesthetic clinic offering cosmetic dermatology, plastic surgery and laser hair removal. Comparable in service mix to KURUBI and similarly operated as a physician-led, multi-modality clinic rather than a chain.
• D Clinic (formerly AGA Clinic / Hair&Skin): Specialized men's health and hair restoration clinic group in Japan offering AGA, ED and dermatology. Overlaps with KURUBI's combined AGA + ED + dermatology offering, particularly relevant given the 2023 men's health launch.
• Rejuva Medical Clinic (リジュバクリニック): Mid-sized Japanese cosmetic dermatology clinic offering customized combination laser treatments, injectables and skincare programs. Comparable to KURUBI in its customized combination-therapy positioning and physician-supervised aesthetic medical approach.

Others

• POLA Orbis Holdings: Major Japanese prestige cosmetics conglomerate whose POLA brand co-developed the POLA Dive cosmeceutical line sold at KURUBI. Comparable as the partner supplying the clinic's clinic-exclusive doctor skincare retail line.
• Candela Corporation (GentleMax Pro Plus manufacturer): US-based manufacturer of the GentleMax Pro Plus dual-wavelength laser that is a flagship device at KURUBI. Comparable as the upstream equipment vendor whose product mix defines the clinic's hair-removal and pigmentation capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• TCB Tokyo Central Cosmetic Surgery: National Japanese cosmetic surgery and dermatology chain with broad menu of injectables, laser, double-eyelid surgery and skin treatments. Comparable in service breadth to KURUBI but operates as a multi-location chain targeting both urban and regional Japan.
• SBC Medical Group (formerly SBC Shonan Beauty Clinic): Largest Japanese aesthetic clinic chain with nationwide multi-site presence covering cosmetic dermatology, plastic surgery and hair removal. Directly comparable service categories to KURUBI but at vastly larger scale and as a multi-clinic chain rather than a single regional site.

Regional players

• Kurume-area local competitor clinics (e.g., referenced in KURUBI's own '6 best spot clinics' column): Other cosmetic dermatology clinics operating in the same Kurume/Tosu/Fukuoka catchment that KURUBI explicitly competes against in its own content marketing. Most direct geographic competitors for KURUBI's patient base.
