About
Minami-Aoyama Dermatology Clinic is a dermatology clinic located on the 2nd floor of Third Water Town in Aoyama, Handa City, Aichi Prefecture, conveniently situated just a 2-minute walk from Aoyama Station (Meitetsu Kowa Line, West Exit) and 9 minutes from Higashi-Narumi Station (JR Toto Line). For those driving, it's 100m east from the Aoyama 2-chome intersection on the Handa Loop Road, with parking available. Consultation hours are Monday 10:00-19:00 (no break), Tuesday/Friday/Saturday 10:00-15:00 and 15:00-19:00 (two sessions), and Thursday 12:30-17:30. The clinic is closed on Wednesdays and Sundays, with additional closures during year-end/New Year, Obon, and training/academic conferences. The reservation system accepts multiple bookings in 30-minute slots, prioritizing appointments while not being fully reservation-only—same-day appointments are available if slots are open, and walk-ins are welcome. The clinic is barrier-free and provides English support. The consultation process begins by presenting insurance cards, My Number cards, and recipient certificates for registration, followed by nursing/clinical technician consultation before seeing the doctor. For new patients and those with medication changes, nurses provide prescription explanations, with prescriptions filled in-house. Regarding acne, the clinic explains that blocked sebum outlets due to old keratin and excessive sebum production lead to acne bacteria proliferation and inflammation, recommending early consultation and treatment. Treatment methods include oral vitamins, comedo extraction, and topical or oral antibiotics, explaining to patients the most suitable approach based on their condition.
