About the Treatment
Electroporation (Careciss) is a treatment that uses short electrical pulses to create temporary electrical “holes” in the cell membranes of the stratum corneum cells for seconds to minutes, and delivers high-concentration beauty ingredients during that time.
This allows molecules that cannot penetrate by simple application to reach deeper layers (the dermis), delivering beauty ingredients.
By choosing the agent to be delivered according to the treatment goal, it is a high-power device that enables treatment suited to the symptom.
It delivers active ingredients that do not easily penetrate with everyday skincare deep into the skin, aiming to improve skin concerns.
The “holes” formed by treatment close quickly, so there is almost no downtime such as pain or redness.

Our3 Points of Electroporation
01. 20 Times the Effect of Iontophoresis
Electroporation and iontophoresis both use electricity to deliver active ingredients to the skin, but they differ greatly in the types and amounts of ingredients that can be delivered.
- Iontophoresis ionizes beauty ingredients to deliver them into the skin, so substances that cannot be ionized, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and other large molecules, cannot be delivered deep into the skin.
- Electroporation, on the other hand,Electroporation creates “gaps” between skin cells with electricity, so even large ingredients can be delivered deep.For this reason, compared with iontophoresis,it is as much as “about 20 times” more effective, and can deliver to the lower dermis.
A wider variety of ingredients can also be delivered, so treatment options are broader than with iontophoresis.
| Electroporation | Iontophoresis | |
| Skin layers reached | Epidermis to lower dermis | Epidermis |
| Deliverable ingredients | · Ingredients that cannot be ionized can also be delivered ·Large-molecule ingredients(hyaluronic acid, collagen, etc.) · Water-soluble and fat-soluble substances | · Ingredients that can be ionized · Small-molecule ingredients · Water-soluble substances |
| Penetration rate | 80~90% | 10~15% |
02. Choice of Agents
At our clinic, the beauty serum can be selected according to your skin concerns.
All are serums suited to electroporation, and by selecting according to your skin condition at the time,skin problems can be addressed efficiently.
Please see the next section for details.
03. Soothing Effect
There are other electroporation devices, butcryo technology that allows delivery while adjusting temperature from 45°C to −25°Cis combined in cryo-electroporation, which is our Careciss S.
By cooling to −25°C,the skin can be soothed after treatments such as Potenza, Dermapen, and Laser Facial, shortening downtime such as redness, swelling, and inflammation.
Equipment and Solutions Used
Careciss S
With electroporation, agents that used to penetrate through gaps in the stratum corneum now penetrate directly through the “holes,”so about 20 times the amount of iontophoresis can be delivered, and agents that were hard to penetrate because of large molecules can be introduced without needle injection.
There is no pain or downtime such as redness after treatment.
Also,cooling constricts blood vessels, so the delivered agents remain in the skin longer, allowing the effect to be further exerted.
Solutions Applied
The agent to be applied can be selected according to your skin concerns.
