Ultrasound-Based Skin Tightening Treatment in Singapore
A non-invasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to support skin structure
Ultrasound-based energy treatment is a non-surgical procedure used to address certain signs of skin ageing. It involves the delivery of focused ultrasound energy to deeper layers of the skin to support tissue firmness over time. At About Dermatology, this treatment is conducted in a medical setting by a registered dermatologist.
What Does This Treatment Involve?
This procedure uses microfocused ultrasound energy to target specific layers beneath the skin’s surface. The energy is intended to stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms, which may lead to the gradual production of collagen.
The treatment does not involve cuts or damage to the outer layer of skin.
When May This Treatment Be Considered?
This treatment may be considered in individuals with:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity (e.g. jawline, cheeks, brow area)
- Early signs of sagging or soft tissue changes
- A preference for non-surgical management of age-related skin changes
A consultation is required to assess individual suitability.
What to Expect
Consultation
Dr Melissa Tan will review your skin condition, medical history, and treatment goals to determine if this approach is appropriate.
During the Procedure
A handheld device is used to deliver focused ultrasound energy to targeted areas. Some individuals report a sensation of heat or tingling during the session.
Aftercare
There is typically no downtime. Temporary tenderness or mild swelling may occur and usually resolves shortly after the procedure. Post-treatment care will be discussed during your appointment.
Treatment Response and Follow-Up
Any changes in skin firmness may appear gradually over several weeks to months. The number of sessions required varies depending on clinical assessment and skin response.
