#1 Ultra-Superficial Ultherapy
This is for you if:
you suffer from acne, scarring or loose skin
An occasional peel, whether chemical, abrasive
or laser, can reveal a fresher and more radiant
complexion. Deeper peels yield more dramatic results,
but are also associated with a longer recovery time,
especially when skin is broken. The fractional CO2
laser, which works by removing the top layer of skin,
has been the gold standard for a number of years
now – but a treatment that can significantly improve
your skin without any breakage or downtime would
be an attractive option.
The new ultra-superficial Ultherapy treatment does
just that. It’s an aesthetic treatment that stimulates
collagen in the deepest layers of the skin, effectively
taking care of superficial wrinkles and improving the
appearance of acne marks – and what’s even better:
you could have it done during your lunch break.
This is a new offshoot of traditional Ultherapy
technology, which has been successfully used to
tighten and lift sagging visages. It uses focused
ultrasound to deliver several thousand spots of energy
at exactly 1.5mm under the skin in the deep dermis,
and causes collagen remodelling to take place whilst
the skin’s surface remains intact.
One of the great things about this new medical
advance is that it’s much more comfortable. This is
because the usual anaesthetic creams work well at
the depth that the ultra-superficial transducer fires at.
This is the kind of technological improvement
that Dr David Loh, one of the pioneers in aesthetic
medicine in Singapore, embraces. “I’ve seen the
development of aesthetic technologies from the IPLs
and lasers since the late 1990s,” he tells us. “Ultherapy
has been a wildly successful non-surgical technology
for tightening skin and lifting sagging faces. I’ve been
operating it since 2009, and have treated countless
patients safely and effectively. I’m totally confident
– and excited – about this new ultra-superficial
application of Ultherapy.”

#2 ELOS-Plus Triniti Total Face Rejuvenation
This is for you if:
you have uneven pigmentation, wrinkles or sagging
This new clinical facial treatment combines three of today’s most effective
procedures to treat multiple concerns in one hit, and works to correct skin
pigmentation, sagging, wrinkles and pore size, all with an improved safety
profile and comfort level, and zero downtime.
The first application uses light energy combined with radiofrequency (RF)
to target pigmented lesions, improving the tone and appearance of the skin.
The second application uses a gentle pulsed infrared light and bi-polar RF to
target deeper layers of the skin to stimulate long-term collagen production,
resulting in a visibly firmer appearance after even just one treatment.
Finally, the third application uses a combination of fractional diode laser
with bi-polar RF to target more superficial texture concerns, such as static
wrinkles and pore size. =
Most people find the treatment comfortable, we’re told, with only
sensations of mild heat or tingling, and it doesn’t require the use of a topical
anaesthetic. Any mild redness disappears after a few hours.
This treatment is for younger people looking to improve their overall
complexion, or for those who wish to slow down the appearance of ageing.
Best results are usually seen after three or four treatments, undergone three
to four weeks apart.
