JUN CLINIC

Through this transaction, JUN CLINIC, operated by Medical Corporation Misakikai and supported by MB career lounge, will join SBC Medical’s clinic network, contributing to portfolio diversification and is expected to enhance revenue stability.

“The surging demand for personalized aesthetic solutions, particularly 'Customized Laser Treatment,' underscores a rapidly expanding market. JUN CLINIC's proven success in diverse environments, from the developing regional market of Nagano to the highly competitive urban centers of Ginza and Shirokane, demonstrates a robust and easily scalable business model poised for nationwide expansion.　By combining our strengths with MB career lounge and JUN CLINIC, we will strengthen our portfolio of aesthetic dermatology and plastic surgery services, enhancing our ability to serve our customers more effectively and further positioning the Company to capitalize on the growing demand for high-quality aesthetic medical services,” said Yoshiyuki Aikawa, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SBC Medical. “This acquisition marks another important step in our growth strategy, accelerating regional expansion, diversifying service offerings, and reinforcing our commitment to driving long-term shareholder value. We look forward to welcoming the MB career lounge and JUN CLINIC team and working together to drive continued success.”

Japan’s aesthetic medicine market reached ¥631 billion in 2024, representing year-over-year growth of 6.2%, and is expected to continue its steady expansion.* Against this backdrop, SBC Medical is pleased to welcome JUN CLINIC—an established provider of both aesthetic dermatology and plastic surgery services—into its growing clinic network.

JUN CLINIC is a network of clinics across multiple locations, including Shirokane, Ginza, Tama Plaza, Yokohama, and Nagano, serving a diverse customer base across both metropolitan and regional areas. Renowned for its personalized treatment approach, the clinic offers a comprehensive suite of services including laser therapies, injectables, and thread lifts, all tailored to individual skin conditions and administered under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologist.

This acquisition enables SBC Medical to accelerate regional expansion, broaden its customer base and strengthen its business model by reducing reliance on any single procedure or geography. With JUN CLINIC’s long-standing reputation and stable revenue base, the acquisition is expected to enhance SBC Medical’s financial performance. Looking ahead, SBC Medical will continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and partnerships with high-quality medical institutions to support long-term growth and drive greater corporate value within the healthcare industry.

The addition of this sophisticated treatment platform aligns with SBC Medical's strategy of diversifying its service offerings and expanding its portfolio to embrace the significant trend of personalized medicine. The global demand for customized, non-invasive aesthetic solutions has the potential to achieve meaningful and durable growth. SBC Medical endeavors to capture this high-value market segment, including through integration of JUN CLINIC's proven model and its team of highly skilled professionals—validated by their role as a certified facility for the prestigious Customized Treatment Study Group.
