LIFESTYLE@LXG: Joey diminishes any signs of ageing with Ultra V HIFU Facelift!

Wrinkles & saggy skin is an inevitable part of aging, but I realised my wrinkles & fine lines are getting worse over the years! I have tried numerous anti-aging products which promise to erase wrinkles, but none of them worked. What can we do to slow down the aging process & minimise early signs of aging? 

Now we don’t have to go under the knife to achieve youthful looking skin! The Wellness Clinic has launched the brand new Ultra V non-surgical Facelift treatment, which is non-surgical, quick, safe & painless!

The Ultra V HIFU Facelift is clinically proven, using the latest HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) technology - for skin lifting & tightening the face, neck & body. Ultra V HIFU treatment works by penetrating the skin with ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the deep dermal & subdermal levels. As the skin structure responds to treatment, collagen fibres organize & shorten, resulting in a tightening & lifting effect on the skin, leaving the skin looking younger & more refreshed. 

The treatment is very fast, it takes only about 10 to 15 mins for my face (depends on the area you’re targeting), no numbing cream or anaesthesia is necessary. My overall experience of this treatment was very comfortable, I only felt slight discomfort & very mild ache around my jawline . I could see that my skin was instantly lifted, tightened & rejuvenated right after the treatment!

“Through its patented, innovative continuous motion energy delivery technology, the Ultra V HIFU system is unique in its ability to deliver skin tightening energy quickly, precisely, and most importantly – painlessly into the skin to create instant results, making it one of the most popular and sought after lifting treatments for face and neck,” said Dr Ram Nath, Director, Aesthetic and Medical Services, The Wellness Clinic.

The Ultra V HIFU Facelift is suitable as early intervention to prevent the signs of aging for those in their 30s. It is also suitable as a form of maintenance for those in their 40s and 50s, between other more intensive skin tightening & lifting procedures such as Ulthera & Thermage. 

With no numbing cream required, the treatment takes less than 30 minutes for a full face & neck treatment, with no downtime. Results are visible immediately after just one treatment, making it ideal for a quick makeover. 

Cost:    from $425 per session

The Wellness Clinic is located at 501 Orchard Road, #04-01 Wheelock Place, Singapore 238880. Tel: 6732 0812.

LADY@LXG: Just discovered the PERFECT lifting treatment for those with a zero tolerance for pain.

Scaredy-cats and those with a zero tolerance for pain can rejoice, cos this here is a treatment that literally has zero discomfort. In fact, its so relaxing, you can enjoy an hour-long nap, while the therapist runs the hand-piece of the Sygmalift, over and over your face, contouring and lifting your cheeks and jawline for 60-minutes, until you wake up, totally refreshed to much tighter, younger and brighter facial features!

So thats me posing away before my treatment

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the treatment actually worked. I started off being a bit skeptical (as one often is), cos if it has no pain, how effective can it really be right? Well I shall be the first to admit that I was wrong, cos the SygmaLift actually does work. 

However, to maintain the results, you do need to go for three sessions, one per week, in order for your face to remain lifted and youthful for a period of between six-months to one-year. The results, like all treatments, depends on your lifestyle and body, so if you have a relatively crappy lifestyle like myself (think insomnia, diet fuelled by junk food, cake and candy), don't expect it to last the whole year. 

The doctor and therapists were all really nice and friendly and super helpful. After bombarding the doctor with a barrage of questions, I was led into a room to have my “before” photos taken. After which my therapist Kristy cleansed the lower part of my face and applied some gel and commenced with the treatment.

Thirty-minutes later, one side of my face was much higher, my nasolabial folds (those ugly lines that run from your nose down to your mouth on either side of your face) were completely erased, almost like they had been ironed out, and my jawline was so much sharper. 

After letting me admire myself for a while, Kristy then progressed to lift the other side of my face. Once the lifting was complete, she removed the gel, ran a cold laser over the treated area (no feeling of discomfort or anything whatsoever), toned my skin with deliciously scented rose toner, applied some moisturiser and viola, I looked so much younger than when I walked in an hour ago.

If you notice that your jawline is starting to get a little less defined or your nasolabial folds are looking a little too pronounced or you simply want to give your face a bit of freshening-up and lifting, call Kowayo clinic, which is located at 1 Raffles link 01-03B, 1 Raffles Link (nearest MRT is City Hall) on 6884 4280 to find out more about the treatment. 

Three sessions of SygmaLift, which is actually recommended or the results won't last you more than a month tops, would cost you $2,400 and last for between six months to a year, which if you break it down and do the math, is pretty decent. 

The SygmaLift puts the old adage "no pain, no gain" to complete shame, cos in this case, you get all the gain minus any pain!
