TREATMENT Ultherapy, $3,424

WHAT IT IS It uses ultrasound technology to encourage collagen production. The result: a reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles, and skin that’s lifted and tightened. You’ll see immediate results, with gradual improvements over the next few months.

OUR EXPERIENCE “My face felt lifted and slightly more plump, and the fine lines on my forehead looked less obvious too. A friend even commented that my complexion looked ‘quite radiant’.”

TREATMENT Hifu V Sculpting, $749

WHAT IT IS Uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasonic (Hifu) to lift and sculpt the face. As the waves reach deep into the muscular layers of the face, the treatment triggers the body’s own regenerative response to tighten skin and promote collagen production to lift and firm. The result: younger-looking skin.

OUR EXPERIENCE “I was quite excited to see a firming effect just two weeks after, and I can’t wait to see the full effect in the next couple of months.”

TREATMENT Laser Skin Rejuvenation, $1,070

WHAT IT IS The non-ablative laser reduces wrinkles and scarring, helps decrease skin laxity, and repairs sun damage. After one treatment, skin is immediately brighter and clearer, while pores look less obvious. Most importantly, there is little downtime, and it’s back to your regular programming.

OUR EXPERIENCE “My skin looked brighter and felt tighter. I could leave the clinic confidently without being conscious about excess redness or worrying about any discomfort. Best thing: I could see immediate results.”

TREATMENT Picosure Laser Treatment, $500

WHAT IT IS It targets a wide variety of concerns, from pigmentation and acne scars to uneven skin texture, pores and fine lines. And because it uses minimised heat, it won’t damage the skin. While you may look like you have a sunburn right after, skin gradually becomes brighter over the next few days.

OUR EXPERIENCE “A week after the treatment, my skin was a lot more even and clear. And while my stubborn dark spot is still there, I’m happy enough with the results that I would return for another session.”

WHERE Epion Clinic, 145 Tanglin Road, tel: 6732-2122

TREATMENT Flawless Skin Restore, $3,188.60 for six sessions

WHAT IT IS It starts with an intensive yet gentle hydrodermabrasion to remove trapped gunk from pores, followed by the laser to refine skin texture and promote collagen production. To finish, a hydrating mask to soothe. Skin is left clean and flawless.

OUR EXPERIENCE “My clogged pores are gone. Usually after a facial, I can still see stubborn clogs, but the doctor used a ‘needle’ with an electric current to get rid of the most stubborn ones, including a clog I’ve been trying to extract for a month.”
