Common Non-Surgical Facelift Treatments in Singapore

“Most non-surgical aesthetic treatments aim to achieve at least one or more of the following outcomes: tightening saggy skin, replenishing lost volume, and resurfacing superficial skin,” says Dr. Siew.

“In recent years, doctors are using a combination of non-surgical procedures to improve and prolong the aesthetic outcome of the treatment.” he added.

Some common non-surgical facelift treatments performed by doctors in Singapore include:

WHAT DYSPORT FACELIFT TREATMENT
HOW Just like Botox, Dysport is brand of botulinum toxin that is commonly used by doctors as a muscle relaxant when injected into the muscles. In this case, a unique technique is used to inject tiny amounts of Dysport into the superficial layer of the skin to immediately contract the pores and relax certain facial muscles so that other muscles can pull the skin upwards to give it a natural-looking lift.
PRICE Ranges between $600 and $1,500
HOW LONG IT LAST Between 3 months and 12 months

WHAT LIQUID FACELIFT WITH DERMAL FILLER
HOW Loss of volume on the face is best addressed by adding dermal fillers. Using a blunt needle, the doctor is able to restore the volume by adding specific amounts of dermal fillers to make you look like you had a facelift!
PRICE Ranges between $800 and $2,500
HOW LONG IT LAST Between 8 months and 18 months

WHAT THREAD LIFT TREATMENT
HOW Using special dissolvable threads lined with anchors, the doctor places them under the skin to tighten and lift moderately heavy skin to restore a younger-looking, V-shaped face. When the threads dissolve after 6 months, the collagen stimulated by the threads continue to exert its effects to retain the lift.
PRICE Ranges between $1,500 and $4,000
HOW LONG IT LAST Between 12 months and 24 months

WHAT ULTHERAPY
HOW Being the only FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for skin lifting and tightening, Ultherapy has completely changed the way we treat saggy skin. Using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), it heats up the deeper layer of the skin to stimulate collagen production. Gradual tightening of the skin will be observed over the next few months.
PRICE Ranges between $2,500 and $5,000 for full face treatment
HOW LONG IT LAST Between 12 months and 24 months
