HIFU Treatment in Singapore

At Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, we offer a range of personalised treatments designed to help you restore the health and vigour of your skin, and achieve the V shape face look that has become so desirable.

One of our most popular and effective procedures is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, more commonly known as HIFU treatment. Designed to lift sagging skin and rejuvenate your appearance without the need for any form of invasive surgery, a HIFU facelift produces rapid results combined with minimal recovery time, so you will not only look great, but can get back to living your life without delay.

What is a HIFU facelift?

When you undergo HIFU treatment in Singapore, high intensity ultrasound waves penetrate the surface skin and work by contracting the deeper layers of skin and tissue below. This process then helps to stimulate the production of collagen which ‘lifts’ the skin and produces a firmer, more youthful appearance on the face and neck.

Taut skin where there is no sagging or drooping means better defined cheeks and a more sculpted jawline, both of which are key to achieving a V shape face.

Where can HIFU treatment be used?

A HIFU treatment can involve treatment to a number of areas. It can be used for facial contouring on the jawline, or to tighten up sagging skin on the cheeks. It can also be used around the eyes to reduce fine lines under the eyes,  lift drooping eyelids, or to reduce  crowfeet and laugh lines around the corners of the eyes. The neck and underchin area can also benefit from treatment with a HIFU machine, as can the chest or décolletage. HIFU treatment can also be used on the body. This includes abdomen, thighs and arms to firm and tighten loose skin.

How does HIFU facelift Singapore treatment work?

HIFU treatment offers a form of non-invasive face lift by using ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of collagen and ‘melt’ fat cells in the face, neck, or brow. Using a special handset, energy waves are directed at different levels or layers of the skin, in particular the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer. This produces a tightening or lifting effect which enhances the appearance of the specific areas of the face or neck being treated.

Before starting the HIFU treatment, a layer of numbing cream is first applied to the skin for approximately 30 mins.  This is then removed before a layer of gel is applied to the skin which  helps to transmit the ultrasound waves. The HIFU hand piece is then applied to the area being treated. There may be a slight feeling of discomfort when the device is used on particularly bony areas. You can expect a treatment session to last between 30 – 45 minutes.

It is a very safe form of treatment, and after a session there are usually no HIFU downtime  effects, with little or no recovery time required. In some cases, your skin may have some  red spots in certain areas for an hour or two afterwards, but you can resume daily activities immediately, and make up and skin care products can be used as normal.

Although there are HIFU results visible more or less straight away, it can take between 2 to 3 months for the full skin tightening and lifting effect of a HIFU treatment to be seen. In most cases, only one treatment session is required, although some people with more loose skin may find additional sessions are needed to achieve the desired results, which will usually last for around 9 to 12 months. Subsequent top up sessions after this time can then be undergone to maintain the effect.

HIFU results look very natural, and with our personalised treatment plans, you can achieve an attractive, youthful lifted face with minimal fuss.

Benefits of HIFU facelift treatment in Singapore

One of the primary benefits of having a HIFU facelift in Singapore is that it produces a high quality, long lasting and natural looking lift effect that rejuvenates your whole appearance. Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, under the guidance of Dr. Kellyn Shiau, offer a range of HIFU double chin and skin tightening treatments designed in consultation with you to achieve a natural, more toned appearance without the need for invasive surgery.  Our treatments are suitable for all areas of the face, including the cheeks, eyes, as well as on the neck and chest.

We use the latest HIFU machines and technology in all of our treatments, and the process is entirely safe with minimal discomfort. The ultrasound waves can be calibrated to a range of depths to achieve precise results, so we can personalise the treatment to suit your specific needs, and this is why HIFU treatment is so effective in achieving a natural lifted look. There is generally no age barrier as to who might benefit from the treatment.

What is Ultraformer 3 HIFU?

Ultraformer 3 HIFU is revolutionary form of technology that has taken HIFU facelifts to new levels. It enables more precise targeting of the different skin layers in the face and neck, producing even better results tailored to your specific requirements.

How does HIFU Ultraformer 3 work?

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) energy is applied in uniform dots to the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer of the skin at temperatures of 65 – 75°C. This produces a micro thermal effect which stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen, the protein that provides strength and stability to the skin. As a result, the skin becomes naturally tighter and more taut, which gives it a ‘lifted’, more youthful appearance.

HIFU Ultraformer 3 treatment is non-invasive and does not break the skin or require injections. There is minimal discomfort during a treatment session, and HIFU side effects, if any, disappear quickly. No downtime is generally required after treatment, meaning you can resume your regular lifestyle straight away.

Additional depths for the HIFU Ultraformer 3

One of the advantages to using HIFU Ultraformer 3 treatment is that it can be specifically targeted at different skin layers in order to treat precise areas of the face, neck and chest, and to achieve a range of different results.

This means Ultraformer III HIFU offers greater versatility and has more applications than some other forms of facelift treatment. In addition to treating the skin at 4.5mm where the SMAS is situated and where most of the face lifting effect takes place, other skin and tissue layers can also be treated, as can areas of the body besides the face.

What is a HIFU non-surgical facelift treatment like?

A HIFU non-surgical facelift is designed to provide minimal discomfort. Any discomfort felt can be experienced when the Ultraformer 3 handpiece is used on bony areas of the face, such as the brow or jawline. Otherwise, the process is entirely non-invasive, and so the skin is not broken nor are any injections required. It is also a very targeted process, meaning that only the specific areas requiring attention are treated. There are generally minimal side effects or discomfort resulting from a HIFU treatment session, meaning you can return to work and your regular lifestyle straight away.

What can HIFU Ultraformer 3 Treat?

HIFU Ultraformer is a very versatile form of treatment, and can be used to enhance the look and quality of your skin in a number of ways. If you want to achieve a V shape face, for instance, HIFU Ultraformer 3 will lift and firm your jawline, reinvigorate drooping cheeks and restore sagging jowls. It can also tighten the skin on the neck and soften the nasolabial folds (the lines on either side of the mouth that extend from the edge of the nose to the mouth’s outer corners). The treatment is also used as a form of non-surgical brow lift.

More generally, treatment with Ultraformer 3 HIFU in Singapore can enhance overall skin tone and restore the skin’s natural elasticity, which tends to deteriorate with age. It can also help with loose skin almost anywhere on the body.

Ultraformer 3 vs other HIFU treatments

Ultraformer 3 features cutting edge technology and is one of the most effective and powerful models of HIFU machine in Singapore. It utilises macro & micro focused ultrasound (MMFU) and so is extraordinarily precise in the areas it is able to target. This means there is less heat diffusion into surrounding tissues, resulting in more comfortable and more effective treatment than other HIFU systems, and it is able to operate at a greater range of depths, thereby making more customised treatments possible.

Ultherapy vs HIFU Ultraformer 3

Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin lifting and tightening procedure that uses ultrasound technology to refresh the appearance of your skin and help you to regain a fresher, more youthful look. It uses targeted ultrasound energy waves directed under the skin at the SMAS layer to boost the body’s collagen levels and production. Some initial lifting can be seen as soon as the treatment is completed, but it can take up to 3 months before the full effects are able to be seen.

Although they both use ultrasound technology to produce non-invasive facelifts, there are two main differences between ultherapy and HIFU Ultraformer 3. Ultherapy incorporates an ultrasound visual imaging system, which means it provides the highest possible levels of precision during treatments, while Ultraformer 3 has a specialised 2mm handpiece that makes it more suitable when treating ultra-sensitive areas, such as around the eyes and brow.

What is the difference between Ultherapy and HIFU?

The main difference between other forms of HIFU and ultherapy is in the technology that is used. Ultherapy utilises an ultrasound visual imaging system that enables pinpoint precision when it comes to targeting the exact layer of the skin that is to be treated.

Although there are no significant differences between ultherapy and HIFU in terms of treatment times or ultimate outcomes, it may be that after consultation our team recommends one form of treatment over another, depending on your specific goals and circumstances. This will be discussed in full at your consultation.

Thermage vs HIFU

Thermage treatment is designed to firm and tighten loose skin on the face or tummy. It can help you to combat the signs of ageing through the non-invasive use of radiofrequency energy. This enhances natural collagen production and results in greater lift and tightness of the skin, thereby producing a more toned and youthful look.

When it comes to the question of thermage vs HIFU, thermage is more focused on removing wrinkles and skin textural improvement. It is particularly useful for treating fine lines around the eyes and upper eyelids that are sagging or drooping, and is also especially beneficial when used to firm up the skin on the abdomen post pregnancy or in the case of sudden weight loss. Overall, thermage delivers a natural looking result that helps to improve the general elasticity of the skin.
