LOOK YOUNGER IN WEEKS
What: Ultherapy (2-2.5 hours; $2,900 for 880 lines)
Where: Dr Kevin Chua Medical & Aesthetics, #03-05 International Building, 6694 6700, kevinchua.com.sg
Having read so much about Ultherapy over the years, finally the time came for me to seek it. After all, it is still considered the gold standard in non-surgical skin lifting and tightening some 12 years since its global launch. Using micro-focused ultrasound to lift, tone and tighten loose skin, Ultherapy is a quick, convenient and non-invasive one-session treatment with no downtime. It sends thermal energy into the deep structural layers of the skin without injuring the surface. This kick-starts the body’s own tissue repair process that aggressively stimulates the production of new collagen, which creates a natural rejuvenating effect.
FDA-cleared for skin on the brow, neck, chin and even décolletage, it is backed with a well-established safety profile and a huge body of clinical data on its efficacy. Unlike the gamut of generic HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) treatments available in salons and clinics, the Ultherapy machine is only for use by doctors, and has an exclusive DeepSEE visualisation feature that maps lines onto the skin using ultrasound imaging for precision targeting and patient customisation.
My maturing skin is starting to show early signs of ageing – there is some laxity, loss of volume and tightness. During my consultation, Dr Kevin Chua took me through a booklet on the procedure and explained the causes of ageing. He also told me that thanks to Ultherapy’s long history in the market, doctors over time were able to observe and agree on the optimal treatment depths across different parts of the face that would give the most effective results. Also, visualisation is key.
