Ultherapy® Prime Singapore

Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to reach the SMAS — the same deep plane a surgeon addresses in a facelift — to lift and tighten without incisions. At Eternity Aesthetics & Medical Surgery, the question asked first is whether ultrasound alone is right for you, or whether pairing it with radiofrequency and structural lifting will give a more balanced result. That call is made at consultation, not before.

The Technology

HIFU — Focused at the Foundation

Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to three depths simultaneously — 4.5mm (SMAS layer), 3.0mm (superficial dermis) and 1.5mm (superficial dermis). At each depth a precise thermal coagulation point is created, triggering a wound-healing response that results in new collagen formation and tissue contraction. The SMAS targeting — the same foundational layer addressed in surgical facelifts — is what makes Ultherapy uniquely effective for structural lifting.

The Experience

Real-Time Visualisation

Ultherapy uses DeepSEE® ultrasound imaging technology to visualise the tissue layers being treated in real time — ensuring energy is delivered at exactly the right depth, avoiding bone and other structures. Dr Sin Yong reviews the imaging with you during treatment so you can see precisely which tissue layers are being targeted.

Areas Ultherapy Can Treat

Lower Face & Jowls

Lift descended tissue along the jawline and jowl area for improved jaw definition and reduced jowling.

Brow & Upper Face

Lift the lateral brow for a more refreshed, open-eyed appearance and address forehead skin laxity.

Neck & Décolletage

Tighten the neck and address crepey skin on the décolletage — areas where Ultherapy has specific FDA clearance.

Mid-Face

Address early mid-face descent and restore projection to the cheeks with foundational SMAS tightening.

Submental Area

Improve the neck-chin transition and address early submental laxity for a more defined profile.

Eye Area

Target fine lines and skin laxity around the eyes with the 1.5mm superficial transducer.

The Treatment Process

01

Consultation

Dr Sin Yong assesses your skin laxity, tissue quality and goals to determine whether Ultherapy alone or in combination with other treatments is optimal for you.

02

Preparation

Skin is cleansed. A topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort. Ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area.

03

Treatment

Focused ultrasound energy is delivered using multiple transducers. Dr Sin Yong monitors depth and placement using real-time DeepSEE® imaging throughout.

04

No Downtime

Treatment takes 60–90 minutes depending on the area treated. You can return to normal activities immediately. Mild redness or tingling resolves within hours.

Dr Sin Yong’s Recommendation

Consider These Protocols First

Ultherapy is a proven FDA-cleared HIFU treatment. At consultation, Dr Sin Yong frequently recommends the clinic's signature protocols instead — or alongside — because they address additional dimensions Ultherapy alone cannot.

Most Often Recommended
Dr Sin Yong’s Proprietary Protocol

Time Freeze Laser LCLR®

Where Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound at fixed parameters, Time Freeze LCLR® combines dual-wavelength laser energy — calibrated zone-by-zone in real time — to address lifting, lipo-modelling and skin integrity improvement simultaneously. For patients with laxity and superficial skin concerns, Time Freeze delivers broader coverage in a single session.

  • Full face and neck skin tightening in one 30-minute session
  • LCLR lipo-modelling — 15–20% point-zone fat reduction
  • ~20% skin integrity improvement across the treated zone
  • Addresses droopy eyelids, jowls, neck and body zones
  • Zero downtime

For Structural Facial Lifting
Dr Sin Yong’s Pioneered Protocol

VF Lift — Vertical Facelift

The VF Lift is Dr Sin Yong's customised non-surgical facelift protocol — addressing three distinct outcomes in the same session: lifting laxity and jowling, reducing excess facial puffiness, and restoring hollow cheeks through adipose stem cell stimulation. Where Ultherapy delivers fixed-depth energy, the VF Lift calibrates energy per zone based on tissue response observed in real time.

  • Lift — laxity, jowling and midface descent
  • Reduce — excess puffiness and facial fat
  • Restore — hollow cheeks and under-eye volume naturally
  • Presented at CLASSYS APAC 2026 International Symposium
  • Trains practitioners internationally

Ultherapy remains a strong clinical option and is offered at the clinic. Dr Sin Yong will recommend the most appropriate protocol — or combination — at your consultation based on your specific anatomy, degree of laxity and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions — Ultherapy Singapore

What is Ultherapy?+

Ultherapy is a non-surgical lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. Dr Sin Yong uses it as one option within a broader lifting toolkit, chosen when it suits the patient's skin and goals.

Which areas can Ultherapy treat?+

It is commonly used on the brow, lower face, under-chin and neck. The area and depth are selected to suit each patient.

Is Ultherapy suitable for me?+

Ultherapy tends to suit people with early to moderate laxity who prefer a non-surgical option. Because it is one of several lifting approaches, Dr Sin Yong assesses whether it or an alternative suits your skin.

Is there downtime after Ultherapy?+

There is generally little to no downtime; some redness or tenderness can occur briefly, and most people resume normal activities the same day.

Can Ultherapy be combined with other treatments?+

Yes — it is often planned alongside other skin or contouring treatments, sequenced so each does its part. Dr Sin Yong maps any combination at consultation.

How is Ultherapy different from a surgical facelift?+

A surgical facelift removes and repositions tissue under anaesthesia with recovery time; Ultherapy stimulates the skin's own collagen without surgery or downtime, and suits earlier or moderate laxity rather than pronounced sagging.

Ultherapy uses fixed focused ultrasound parameters and targets the SMAS layer with real-time DeepSEE® imaging. The VF Lift is Dr Sin Yong's customised protocol that uses both RF and focused ultrasound energy, calibrated zone-by-zone in real time based on tissue response. Critically, the VF Lift also addresses excess puffiness and hollow cheek restoration — outcomes Ultherapy alone does not. At consultation, Dr Sin Yong will assess your anatomy and recommend whether the VF Lift, Time Freeze LCLR® or Ultherapy — or a combination — is the right approach for you.
Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound at three fixed depths using DeepSEE® imaging. Time Freeze LCLR® uses dual-wavelength laser energy calibrated per zone and simultaneously addresses lifting, lipo-modelling (15–20% point-zone fat reduction) and skin integrity improvement (~20%) in a single 30-minute session. For patients with laxity and superficial skin concerns — or who want body zone coverage — Time Freeze typically offers broader outcomes in less chair time. Dr Sin Yong will determine the right fit at consultation.
Most patients achieve meaningful improvement with 1–2 sessions. Those with significant laxity may benefit from a second session at 12 months. Maintenance sessions are recommended annually.
Some patients notice an immediate effect, but peak results develop over 2–3 months as new collagen forms and tissue remodelling progresses. Improvement continues for up to 6 months after treatment.
Focused ultrasound at SMAS depth can cause transient discomfort during delivery. Dr Sin Yong uses an optimised protocol including topical anaesthesia and patient-paced treatment to maximise comfort throughout the session.
Results typically last 12–18 months. Collagen stimulation continues after the treatment, and maintenance sessions help sustain the effect over time.
