Japan’s First NEAUVIA KOL Training: Advancing Injection Techniques with Precision and Practice

NEAUVIA Hyaluronic Acid KOL Training Held for the First Time in Japan: Achieving Maximum Results with Minimal Volume

A new frontier in aesthetic medicine has opened. Japan’s first-ever KOL training using NEAUVIA fillers was conducted by world-renowned Global KOL Dr. Luciano Lanfranchi and Japan’s KOL Dr. Yukitaro Ikeda of BIANCA CLINIC.

Unlike standard workshops, this was a one-on-one Train the Trainer (TTT) format—a rare opportunity to explore the injection technique, product safety, and efficacy in depth. NERO was granted exclusive access and delivers this in-depth coverage from inside the training room.

Revolutionary Injection Techniques and Practical Approach

This workshop marked Japan’s first one-on-one Train the Trainer (TTT) session using NEAUVIA fillers.
Led by world-renowned KOL Dr. Luciano Lanfranchi (Milan, Italy) and Japan’s own Dr. Yukitaro Ikeda (BIANCA CLINIC), the training offered direct transmission of advanced injection methodology.

Dr. Ikeda, known for his innovative shift in hyaluronic acid approaches, focuses on tailoring injection volumes to each patient’s needs based on anatomical rationale. His commitment to precision and strong patient communication has earned him deep trust and acclaim throughout the aesthetic community. This workshop further showcased these strengths.

The session emphasized NEAUVIA’s philosophy of achieving maximum effect with minimal volume. Dr. Lanfranchi demonstrated hands-on how even with a thicker 22G cannula, efficient injection could be performed with nearly invisible entry points, challenging traditional assumptions about needle size and aesthetics.

Live treatments were performed on three patients of different ethnic backgrounds, illustrating NEAUVIA’s adaptability to various skin types and beauty ideals.
In all cases, significant results were achieved with small product amounts, proving that 22G cannulas can match or even outperform finer 27G needles in delivering detailed, precise outcomes.

Dr. Lanfranchi on the Advantages and Safety of NEAUVIA Fillers

Dr. Lanfranchi provided an in-depth explanation of NEAUVIA’s unique formulation and its clinical benefits, emphasizing both safety and efficacy.
NEAUVIA’s extremely small CaHA particles allow for efficient skin regeneration, improved firmness, and tone with minimal volume,” he explained, underscoring the importance of risk management and patient satisfaction in modern aesthetic practices.

He also noted that NEAUVIA’s high viscosity and elasticity help achieve maximal results with less product, minimizing the physical and psychological burden on patients.
Importantly, even with a thicker 22G cannula, he demonstrated that injections could be administered with remarkably minimal entry visibility, enhancing both safety and injection precision compared to more commonly used 27G or 30G needles.

Post-Injection Risk Management & Patient Care — The Role of Cannulas in Safe and Efficient Delivery

Further emphasizing technique, Dr. Lanfranchi highlighted the advantages of using a cannula for HA injections.
Cannulas reduce the number of injection points and alleviate patient anxiety,” he noted, pointing to improved comfort and treatment efficiency. Most procedures can be completed in under 15 minutes, drastically minimizing patient burden.

NEAUVIA formulations, especially those used in this training, contain low-concentration hyaluronic acid and micro-sized CaHA particles, contributing to a low incidence of nodules or granulomas. This not only improves tissue compatibility but also enhances hydration, tone, and collagen stimulation through antioxidant synergy.

The treatment range is broad—from younger preventative care to mature skin rejuvenation, particularly effective on the face, neck, and hands.
While optimal results are achieved with three sessions, noticeable improvements are often seen after just one.

Dr. Lanfranchi emphasized the importance of anatomically-informed injection planning, especially in the midface zone, where results tend to be most impactful. His philosophy avoids overfilling while delivering natural, high-efficacy outcomes tailored to each patient.

NERO’s Editorial Insights
✅POINT✅

  • A rare opportunity to witness cutting-edge HA injection techniques through Japan’s first KOL-level NEAUVIA TTT training

  • Mastery of volume control: Achieving maximum effect with minimal product

  • A deeper understanding of NEAUVIA’s safety and biointegration, as championed by Dr. Lanfranchi

  • Renewed recognition of cannula technique and gauge choice in ensuring both precision and patient comfort

  • Where safety meets satisfaction: Leading-edge approaches to elevate outcomes while minimizing risks

    NEAUVIA’s unique combination of safety and performance makes it a strong contender for broader clinical use. The insights shared during this TTT session suggest a significant shift: injectable aesthetics is evolving toward smarter, safer, and more efficient delivery.
    This training not only refined technique—it reframed what excellence in aesthetic medicine truly looks like.

Redefining Injection: Precision, Volume, and Vision

Dr. Yukitaro Ikeda is setting a new standard in hyaluronic acid injection techniques.
During this exclusive KOL training session—the first of its kind in Japan—Dr. Luciano Lanfranchi conducted a one-on-one live training using the NEAUVIA HA filler, demonstrating an entirely new approach to injection that departs from traditional norms in terms of volume, technique, and needle gauge.

Dr. Ikeda’s philosophy centers around tailoring injection plans based on each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic needs. His precision and commitment to achieving harmonious results have earned him widespread recognition among peers. Under the theme “Maximum Impact with Minimum Volume,” three clinical cases were demonstrated, each showcasing refined, efficient, and effective outcomes.

A pivotal insight from this training: while most clinicians traditionally rely on finer needles like 27G, this workshop demonstrated how even with a thicker 22G cannula, injection marks were minimal and placement was highly controlled.
This opens a new chapter in injection therapy—one that minimizes downtime, mitigates delayed allergic responses, and optimizes patient comfort without compromising efficacy.

To address the increasing concern over “overfilled syndrome” and excessive volumizing trends, Dr. Lanfranchi emphasized precise volume calibration per patient, grounded in solid anatomical theory and clinical reasoning.
His method resists dependency-driven treatments and instead promotes aesthetic integrity and structural harmony—a vision that aligns with the next evolution of modern aesthetic medicine.

Editor’s Column

The arrival of NEAUVIA represents a new era in aesthetic injectables—one defined by precision, efficiency, and safety. As Dr. Luciano Lanfranchi demonstrated, achieving maximum effect with minimal volume requires not only the right product but also the evolution of injection technique itself.

Going forward, the field of aesthetic medicine will increasingly demand a disciplined approach to dosing and a personalized mindset for every patient. It’s no longer about adding volume, but about delivering harmony, balance, and subtle enhancement.

At NERO, we are committed to tracking and sharing these paradigm shifts, guided by the insight of pioneering doctors at the forefront of global trends.

The spirit of “collaborative excellence in aesthetic medicine” was evident throughout this training—a shared vision for empowering patients and uniting medical professionals in delivering care that is not only beautiful, but also deeply safe and trustworthy.

As Japan continues to refine its voice in the global aesthetic dialogue, initiatives like this will serve as critical infrastructure. We at NERO will continue to amplify and support this movement with clarity and conviction.
