It’s okay if you haven’t decided on your menu yet. Let’s talk first.
Beauty is not something you apply to the outside; it's something that wells up from within.
The source of that lies in the brain.
Imai-style head spa, based on joint research with YON's LABO LLC, uses "neuro-conditioning" to fundamentally reboot the brain's command center.

The only head spa proven by neuroscience.
During the treatment, theta waves, indicating deep introspection, are sustained over a wide area, simultaneously with the normal state of relaxation (α waves).
This creates an "awakened clear meditation" state where the brain reaches a deep state of awareness while the mind remains lucid.
The "clarity of thought" and "brighter expression" that many people experience after treatment are real changes brought about by this golden state of the brain.
θ waves activate the Default Mode Network (DMN).
This triggers the brain's "automatic repair program," which integrates memories, processes emotions, and reconstructs self-image.
Hormonal balance and the autonomic nervous system are regulated, and the skin's regenerative power is enhanced.
A vitality that radiates from within is reflected in your facial expression and skin.
Deep introspection enhances "self-efficacy," and the motor commands the brain sends to the entire body become clearer and more harmonious.
(Kodama et al., 2022)
A stable core leads to a wider stride, resulting in graceful posture and gait.
Furthermore, the conviction of "I can do it" fosters positive motivation and self-confidence.
Brainwaves are an indicator that reflects the "state of brain activity." Please observe the special changes that only occur during treatment.
Reading, listening to music, resting with eyes closed, etc.
Clearness of consciousness: High
α waves are predominant. θ waves are hardly generated, indicating that deep brain self-repair is not occurring.
Years of training, slumber, a drowsy state
Clearness of consciousness: Decreased
θ waves are present, but this is a sign that consciousness is fading. Reproducing this on a daily basis requires many years of practice.
Confirmed through electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements in a joint research project with a university.
Clearness of mind: Maintain at a high level.
α and θ waves are simultaneously and sustainedly generated over a wide area. While consciousness remains clear, only the brain reaches a deep meditative state.
This "simultaneous expression of α and θ waves" is difficult to achieve even during normal rest or deep meditation.
It is a special golden state of the brain that can be consistently and reproducibly induced through Imai's treatment techniques.
