HIFU Treatment
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is the latest and most advanced technology designed to enhance non-surgical face lifts. It can provide the same facelift and skin tightening as surgical facelift without having to undergo any surgery. This anti aging treatment is increasingly popular in Singapore due to:
> Promote more effective healing & tissue repair
> Stimulate collagen production
> Melt the facial fats to lift and tighten skin
This treatment requires no incision or injection. It relies on focused ultrasound to tighten 3 layers underneath the skin for an overall facelift. There is absolutely no downtime and visible results can be seen from the 1st session.
Surgical facelift results with no surgery
How does HIFU treatment work?
As we age, our bodies starts to produce lesser collagen resulting in saggy skin and formation of fine lines and wrinkles. In the past, the options are limited to botox or surgical facelift in order to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles.
HIFU relies on the ultrasound technology to reach 3 different depths of the skin to deliver focused beams (60 to 70 degrees Celsius) without disrupting the skin surface. The focused beams will melt the fats in the face while tightening the skin. Collagen production will be activated to continually lift and tone skin.
Treatment is suitable for all skin types and is an excellent option for patients looking to prevent early signs of aging. Areas such as forehead, eyebrow, chin, jowl line & double chin can be targeted to reduce wrinkles and sagging.

What is HIFU?
Medical grade HIFU treatment is the gold standard facelift alternative in Singapore. The treatment results can last for 12 -18 month and only requires maintenance once a year. It is a HSA approved treatment and can only be performed by qualified doctors.
HIFU can target 3 depth under the skin to regenerate collagen production. The first depth 1.5mm targets the dermis layer focusing on fine lines & wrinkles. The second depth (3mm) targets the Subcutaneous Tissue Layer to promote regeneration of Collagen & Elastin. The last depth, 4.5mm targets the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer to shrink and tighten the skin.
The high energy from the ultrasound also have the ability to melt the facial fats. It is an excellent tool to reduce double chin and accentuate the jawline creating a V shaped face. The overall effect will result in a slimmer face, reduced jowl line & facial tightening.

Where can HIFU be treated?
HIFU FACIAL TREATMENT
Forehead & Frown Line Lift
Forehead lines are horizontal lines that form through the repetitive use of your eyebrows. Over time, these dynamic wrinkles form permanent lines.
Frown lines are the vertical lines between your eyes and are also known as ‘glabella lines’. Repeated muscle movement and contraction leads to permanent static wrinkles.

Cheek Lift
Over time the cheek fat pad or ‘malar fat pad’ starts to drop as a result of low collagen production. The sagging can have considerable effect on other areas of your face. HIFU can jumpstart the collagen production to have a lifting effect.

Décolletage
Aging is the primary reason for the appearance of fine lines and looser skin on your neck, chest and décolletage. Sun damage is usually the culprit behind thinner, less elastic and drier skin —a combination that makes it appear less firm, saggy and wrinkled.

HIFU vs Ultherapy
HIFU and Ultherapy are frequently confused as the same procedure. Ultherapy combines high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with real-time imaging.
Both treatments employ the same ultrasonic technology to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. Ultherapy is typically recommend to older patients with more significant skin issues. HIFU is better for individuals who are younger and have more visible evidence of skin laxity.
Comparing HIFU vs Ultherapy is similar to comparing iPhones vs Android phones. Both treatments are non-invasive, risk-free and have no downtime. Normal routine can be resumed after the treatments.
HIFU Review - Why is HIFU expensive?
How is HIFU priced?
HIFU is essentially a non invasive medical procedure to lift skin through precise ultrasound shots. Under the technology, there are many brands with different pros and cons.
The HIFU brands used in Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic are Ultracel Q+, Dublo-S & Sygmalift HIFU. All machines used are approved by Health Science Authorities (HSA) with excellent safety record.
Every brand in the market has its own unique attribute to stand out from the competitor. The important aspects to note are safety record, effectiveness & country of manufacture. The price of the treatments are also determined by the following:
1. FDA (Food & Drugs Administration) Approved Machines
FDA approved machine adds a higher premium due to the safety records & the stringent safety protocols. When the price of the machine and consumables are high, the costs are also translated to patients. KFDA approved also provide an excellent track record, however as KFDA is not internationally recognised, the prices of machines are slightly cheaper.
2. Brand of HIFU
The brand of HIFU directly correlates with the price of treatment. Similar to phone brands (Apple, Samsung), there are many brands using the HIFU technology. The 3 popular brands are Ultherapy, Ultraformer 3 & Sygmalift HIFU. The costs of these three machine is above $70,000 which explains the price of HIFU.
3. Consumables / Treatment
The consumables in HIFU are the cartridge (1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm) used during treatment. It determines the HIFU shots administered on the face. Branded machines usually have higher consumable costs, which in turns translate into higher treatment price.
4. Clinic Overheads
The price of treatments will due largely on the location of clinics. Due to Singapore’s economic environment, rental contributes to a large portion of a clinic overheads. A posh clinic with large area tend to price their treatments more expensive.

FAQs about HIFU
What is Botox?
Botox is a muscle relaxing drug that primarily used to reduce wrinkles temporarily (usually up to 4-6 months). Botox is a protein derived from Botulinum toxin. It is a neurotoxin which disrupts nerve signalling processes to stimulate muscle contraction.
In order for any muscle to contract, the nerves release a chemical messenger called acetylcholine. Botulinum toxin injections prevent the release of this messenger, which stops the muscle cells from contracting.
Botox can be injected to several parts of the face to eliminate wrinkles & fine lines. Parts of the face includes:

The 3 popular brands of Botulinum Toxin are Dysport, Xeomin & Botox. While all brands perform the same job, there are some small variation in characteristics. To find out the different characteristics
The biggest distinction is how the Botulinum Toxin spreads. All 3 brands are HSA (Health Science Authority) licensed, Botox and Dysport are more popular primarily due to longer track records.
When it comes to injectable procedures, there are always certain risks involved. As different people reacts differently to Botox, in general most patients do not experience any side effects.
There are the rare few patients who will experience drooping of muscles (eyelids or eye brows) after the treatment, however the effects last only temporarily until the Botulinum Toxin wears off.
Common side effect such as bleeding around the injection sites, headache, flu-like symptoms and local pain may occur after the treatment. Do make sure to call your licensed medical practitioner for advise.

Generally, there are 4 factors when considering the price of Botox. The factors are:
- Treatment Area (Treatment area will determine how many units are required to be injected)
- Brand of Botox used (Different Botox brands have different costs)
- Experience of Doctor (You may be charged a small premium due to the expertise of the Doctor)
- “Overheads” of Clinic (Higher rental & costs will require the clinic to charge more)
At Bio Aesthetic Laser, our prices are inclusive of a complimentary touch up after the 1 week review if the 1st injection is not enough. Our clinic’s practice is not to over do the treatment (especially for botox), so Dr will inject his recommended dosage based on the client’s needs first and then review after a week to see if more is required.
Botox is injected into the muscles or skin in very minimal portions.
The Botulinum Toxin disables signals from nerve cells to the muscles. As a result, it weakens the muscles responsible for fine line & wrinkles.
We do not recommend Botox during pregnancy for precautions. There are a lack of information on the treatment effects towards the fetus.
For injectables (including fillers & Botox), we do not treat any patients under 18. There are a wide range of treatments that are suitable for minors. Consult or team of aestheticians & doctor for your skin type.
