I purchased the Ya-Man Lift Dryer “HC-20N-1.”

The red LED and the scalp care function are the key features.

The fact that it was featured on “Matsuko’s Unknown World” also helped convince me to buy it.

We’ve only been using it for a few days, but so far, my wife and daughters are satisfied with it.

“What is the function of a red LED?”
“How do I use the scalp care product?”
“Did you actually buy it and are you satisfied with it?”

This is what you’re probably wondering about, right?

In this post, I’ll share why our family bought it, our first impressions after starting to use it, and what you should check before purchasing.

What is the Ya-Man Lift Dryer HC-20N-1?

In addition to drying hair, the Ya-Man Lift Dryer also features,

This hair dryer comes with an attached lift head that allows you to care for your scalp and face.

Here is the unit I purchased this time.

The box had a magnetic closure that snapped shut securely.

This is costing money…

Here’s what it looks like when you open it.

The manufacturer recommends the following three main modes:

When drying your hair, remove the headpiece, and

When caring for your scalp or face, attach the head attachment and use it.

It’s very convenient to use because the mode on the hair dryer automatically switches just by attaching or removing the nozzle.

The reasons I chose it were the red LED and the scalp care function.

What caught my attention in particular were the red LED and the scalp care function.

The hair dryer I use every day has a hair care feature that interests me.

This is what appealed to me.

Thinking that as I get older, I’ll likely have to deal with hair loss and thinning hair more and more,

I decided to buy it as a precautionary measure.

If you start to worry about thinning hair, you’ll probably need to take oral medication as well…

Its appearance on the TV show “Matsuko’s Unknown World” was also a deciding factor.

The fact that it was featured on the show was one of the reasons I decided to buy it.

The October 20, 2026, episode of “Matsuko’s Unknown World” featured “The World of Hair Loss.”

I first learned about the Ya-Man Lift Dryer when it appeared in a segment introducing red LEDs.

I’ve totally fallen for the marketing… Σ(‘◉⌓◉’)

The Appeal of Lift Dryers | Red LEDs and Scalp Care Features

What is the function of a red LED?

The red LED built into the lift dryer is a feature the manufacturer refers to as “Photo Care.”

The part highlighted in red is here.

It may appear pale due to the lighting, but it is actually a deep red.

So, this technology found in beauty devices is incorporated into hair dryers as well, isn’t it?

I bought this partly because I had high hopes for this red LED.

However,I understand that there is a significant difference between household and medical use.

Since I regularly visit a cosmetic dermatology clinic, I have a firsthand understanding of this area.

All those dermatology machines hurt, don’t they…

This is one of the preventive measures—for daily care.

The scalp massager is used by placing the head of the device against the scalp.

SCALP Mode is a care function that uses the included lift head by applying it to the scalp.

The manufacturer describes this feature as a combination of warm air at approximately 50°C and vibrations at a rate of approximately 6,000 times per minute.

I think it works on the same principle as the recently popular Pospos (Face Pointer). Probably.

This is the lift head. The metal part in the middle vibrates.

When attached to the main unit, it looks like this.

It can also be used to care for your scalp while drying your hair.

For me, this was a major attraction.

The hair dryer has three settings

There are three modes for using it as a hair dryer.

Each time you press the button, the fan speed increases in the order: SMOOTH → SHINY → UP.

The maximum airflow was 2.2 m³/min, the same as the KINUJO model I had been considering purchasing.

The wind is quite strong.

For scalp care and hair drying, you’ll need to put on and take off the headpiece.

Before purchasing, I think it’s a good idea to check the instructions for use so you can determine whether it will be easy to incorporate into your regular care routine.

Review Based on Actual Purchase | My Family’s Reactions After Using It for a Few Days and the Price

The whole family will be satisfied

I’ve only been using it for a few days, but,So far, my family is satisfied with it.

A pleasant surprise is the warm air in SCALP mode.

I have a mullet, so I think my hair is on the longer side for a man.

Even so, the warm air from SCALP mode dries about 90% of it.

My wife and kids have long hair, but it seems to dry reasonably well even in SCALP mode.

My hair stays in place well

I’m choosing this for scalp care, but,

Its performance as a hair dryer—which is what really matters—is also excellent.

My wife and children have long hair, so our old hair dryer used to leave it feeling a little dry.

My previous hair dryer was also the kind used in hair salons, but,

The Ya-Man product I bought this time makes my hair feel significantly more moisturized and manageable.

The purchase price is 39,100 yen.

The price I paid was,39,100 yenThat was it.

As far as hair dryers go, it’s not exactly something you can buy on a whim, is it?

To be honest, I never thought the day would come when I’d buy such an expensive hair dryer…

I debated between KINUJO and Oita for a while, but I ended up choosing this one because I was drawn to the red LED and the scalp care features.

I’ve generally found that products with a lot of features tend to be a letdown, but

I think this Ya-Man Lift Hair Dryer is a real winner.

How Effective Are Lift Dryers? What You Should Know Before Buying One

You won’t be able to tell the effects of red LEDs in just a few days.

Since I’m writing this blog post just a few days after purchasing it,

To be honest, I’m not sure what the effect of the red LED is.

However, from the very beginning, I have considered it to be one of my preventive measures and part of my daily care routine.

Once you reach an age where you’re seriously concerned about hair loss and thinning hair,

I think I’ll get some oral medication at the clinic and take it along with my current medication.

The weight does not include the power cord.

According to the official specifications, the unit weighs approximately 414g.

The hair dryer I had been using was a little heavy, so

It seems that even children find it easy to use now.

Since the kids were able to try it out in the store, I felt confident making my selection.

That’s the beauty of brick-and-mortar stores—you can’t find this kind of information online.
