3 Non-Surgical Face Lifts Options To Consider For Firmer Skin

Looking for the best non-surgical facelift treatments in Singapore, including the popular Ultherapy?

While going under the knife is always an option, we are all rejoicing in the fact that non-surgical options can also give us the lift we need. Better still, these new-age treatments provide enough of a visible lift to your skin, with low downtime and are far safer than invasive surgery. 

Of course, you need to be mindful of expectations too. A non-surgical facelift, while effective, can only do as much in comparison to a surgically enhanced face. That said, catch your droopy skin in time, and we promise, you can enjoy great results and a refreshed look for several years ahead.

Are You the Right Candidate for a Non-Surgical Face Lift? 

So, who can benefit from a non-surgical facelift? To make the most of your results from a non-invasive facelift, you should be looking to start early. We are talking, between the range of 30 – 50 years of age, when your skin shows signs of mild to moderate ageing and droopiness. 

This loss of laxity, when controlled in time, can give effective results – think of it as a preventive treatment so you don’t have to go in surgically at a later stage. 

These treatments are also great for those who have had surgery and are looking to maintain that lift as the years go by.

 

3 Best Non-Surgical Face Lift Treatments

Let’s now dive straight into the types of non-surgical treatments available in Singapore. From cult favourite UItherapy to Sygma Lift and trusted Thermage, these are 3 solid non-surgical facelift options to consider.

 

Option 1. Non-Surgical Facelift in Singapore – Ultherapy 

One of the most popular and talked about non-surgical facelift treatments in Singapore, Ultherapy is an FDA-approved ultrasound-based procedure. This treatment uses medical ultrasound to work well below the skin’s surface without causing any harm to the outer layers. The ability to see deep below the layers of the skin allows for precise application and hence leading to tightening, firming and a lifting effect.  

As a top choice for a non-surgical facelift in Singapore, Ultherapy promises an improvement around the eyes, including a lift in the notorious brow line to reduce droopiness on the eyelid. It is also known to help with crows’ feet and for general rejuvenation of the eye area. 

Are you noticing sagging in your cheek area? This non-surgical facelift via Ultherapy also allows for cheeks to be tightened and lifted, improving drooping corners of the mouth, as well as allowing for a more defined jawline. 

Best of all, Ultherapy is a comfortable non-surgical facelift procedure. There is no requirement for an anaesthetic injection. Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable with a slight warm sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered to the skin tissue. 

Your skin’s response to the ultrasound energy is new collagen growth which allows for a gradual tightening, ultimately resulting in a natural lift over time.  

When can you expect results? Right after the procedure, you are maybe able to see some lifting of the skin. The real results however kick in after two to three months when your natural collagen starts to build again. 

As quick as any lunchtime procedure, an Ultherapy treatment will take up only 60 minutes of your time. Your skin may feel a little flushed, but this redness will also go down in a few hours. There is no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities right after – you can even apply makeup if needed!

 

 Option 2. Non-Surgical Facelift in Singapore – Sygma Lift

Have you heard of HIFU? Known across Singapore for its no-pain, non-surgical facelift, Sygma Lift uses a patented 2nd generation High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound or HIFU technology. This virtually-pain free experience is a great option for those looking for the coveted V-shaped face. 

It comes with the prowess to reduce your double chin, tighten skin, and diminish wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. A full skin rejuvenation – without undergoing surgery! 

What makes Sygma Lift so effective? It can concentrate up to 1000 intersecting beams of ultrasound energy, with extreme precision to a pre-calibrated depth. 

Sygma Lift also deposits ultrasound energy in the form of focal lines instead of dots, which gives it the ability to treat larger areas – and fast! 

What’s more, the system can go as low as 5mm into the skin, making the non-surgical facelift treatment almost akin to face remodelling!

 

Option 3. Non-Surgical Facelift in Singapore – Thermage

Want to head out on your lunch hour and return looking years younger? Then you need to consider one of the best non-surgical facelift treatments in Singapore – Thermage. 

Whether it’s your tired eyes, saggy skin or eye bags that are troubling you or you are just in need of anti-ageing rejig, Thermage makes for an excellent choice, regardless of skin type or gender. 

The latest Thermage CPT system tightens and smoothes your face without the need for surgery or downtime. It is also the only FDA-approved system for the non-invasive treatment of eyelids. Often used by doctors around the eyes, it makes for the perfect tool to fight crepey eyes and fine lines in this sensitive area. 

How does Thermage work? This non-surgical facelift uses radiofrequency waves and penetrates deep into the skin thereby stimulating the production of collagen and leads to skin tightening. 

And if you are curious about the results, your skin will certainly feel tighter right after the treatment. The actual tightening effect, however, will kick in over a period of 3 to 6 months. 

It is also money well invested! An average Thermage procedure can last up to 2 years or longer, but this depends on your skin and its ageing process.
