Japan's #1 Beauty Device Brand — 11 Salon-Grade Functions in One Handset

The YA-MAN Photo PLUS Prestige SP III is the flagship device from Japan's largest and most established beauty technology company. YA-MAN has been engineering beauty devices since 1978 and holds the #1 market share in Japan's home beauty device category. This is the device that sold at GlamGlobal for £1,390 — the highest single product sale in our history — purchased by a customer who chose it for its unmatched 11-mode versatility.

Where most premium devices offer 4-6 treatment modes, the Prestige SP III delivers eleven. It is not just a lifting device, or a cleansing device, or an LED device — it is a complete facial treatment system that replaces the need for multiple separate tools. From deep pore cleansing to RF lifting, from targeted eye care to post-treatment cooling, every stage of a professional salon facial is built into a single 312g handset.

CERTEC® — The Technology Behind the Results

CERTEC® (Cell Energy Regeneration Technology) is YA-MAN's proprietary innovation. It combines precisely controlled thermal energy with electrical stimulation to reach deeper into the skin than either technology could achieve alone. While standard RF devices heat the dermis to stimulate collagen, CERTEC® simultaneously delivers electrical pulses that enhance cellular metabolism and energy production at the treated depth.

The result is a dual-action treatment: the thermal component triggers collagen remodelling and skin tightening, while the electrical component accelerates cellular turnover and product absorption. This is why YA-MAN devices consistently outperform single-technology competitors in clinical comparisons.

The Eleven Treatment Modes

CLEAN Mode (ION Cleansing): Uses ionic technology to extract deep-seated impurities, makeup residue, and oxidised sebum from pores — removing what washing alone cannot reach. This is the foundation step that prepares skin for maximum absorption of everything that follows.

NEB Mode (Nutrient Enhancing Beauty): Enhances the penetration of brightening and active ingredients including niacinamide, vitamin C, and tranexamic acid. If you use quality serums, NEB mode ensures they reach the skin layers where they deliver actual results rather than sitting on the surface.

DWHP Mode (Deep Wave Heat Pulse): Combines RF warming with pulsating energy to treat the deeper dermal layers. This mode delivers the most intensive collagen stimulation and is recommended for targeting established wrinkles and loss of firmness.

EMS UP Mode: High-frequency electrical muscle stimulation designed specifically for lifting. Stronger than standard EMS found in lower-priced devices, EMS UP mode delivers visible contouring along the jawline, cheeks, and forehead in a single session.

Microcurrent Mode: Gentle, low-level currents that tone facial muscles without the intensity of full EMS. Ideal for maintenance between EMS UP sessions and for more delicate areas where stronger stimulation would be uncomfortable.

Red LED Mode: Stimulates collagen production at the dermal level and enhances skin regeneration. The wavelength used targets fibroblast cells — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.

Orange LED Mode: Targets skin radiance and overall brightness. Orange wavelengths improve circulation and give skin an energised, healthy appearance.

Blue LED Mode: Targets acne-causing P. acnes bacteria and reduces inflammation. Particularly effective for hormonal breakouts and persistent blemish-prone areas.

Eye Care Mode: A dedicated programme combining EMS, microcurrent, and red LED calibrated specifically for the delicate eye area. Targets puffiness, dark circles, crow's feet, and under-eye fatigue. Can be used up to 5 times per week — more frequently than the intensive facial modes.

Cool Mode: Post-treatment cooling that tightens pores, calms the skin, and seals in the benefits of all preceding treatments. This is the finishing step that professional facialists use to close a treatment — and the step most home devices omit entirely.

Daily Care Mode: A gentle, 6-minute programme designed for safe daily use. Combines light RF, microcurrent, and LED for a quick maintenance session on the days between intensive treatments.

Recommended Treatment Schedule

Intensive sessions (2-3 times per week): CLEAN → NEB → DWHP or EMS UP → COOL. Apply a generous amount of lotion or gel, work through each mode in sequence, and finish with cooling. Total treatment time: 15-20 minutes.

Eye care (up to 5 times per week): Eye Care Mode targets the orbital area with gentle EMS, microcurrent, and red LED. 5-10 minutes per session.

Daily maintenance (every day): Daily Care Mode for 6 minutes, followed by Cool Mode. Quick enough to fit into any morning or evening routine.

What Results to Expect

First session: immediate visible lift, improved skin radiance, and a noticeable tightening effect from the Cool Mode finish. The ION cleansing step alone produces a visibly cleaner, brighter complexion.

4-6 weeks: cumulative improvements in skin firmness, jawline definition, reduced fine lines, and enhanced product performance. The Eye Care Mode delivers some of the earliest visible results — reduced puffiness and brighter under-eyes within 2-3 weeks.

3-6 months: structural collagen improvements from consistent RF and LED use. Skin density, elasticity, and overall texture continue to improve progressively.
