I had to go in for several sessions, a month or so apart. Each session cost me about 10500 yen plus a little extra for antibacterial ointment, gauze, etc which were largely covered by NHI. I am very pleased with results so far. My only complaint is that they skimped on anaesthesia, meaning that the treatments were somewhat painful (I’ve noticed that Japan is not really big on the whole “pain-free” concept). But I guess it’s no less than I deserve, for being such an idiot in the first place.
