Lunchtime facelift with ultrasound --- Ultherapy
Ulthera is set to revolutionalize the arena of non-surgical facelift. This breakthrough device has the potential to upend the non-surgical facial rejuvenation market. Ulthera joins the nonablative cosmetic surgery fray with a high frequency ultrasound device that enables physicians to both visualize skin layers in real time and to precisely deliver ultrasound energy to the areas they target. The ultrasound heats targeted areas to trigger new tissue production, but it does not damage the epidermis or intervening layers of skin it passes through enroute to the target. This means that Ulthera is able to target the facial skin from within without causing any downtime or redness to the surface tissue.
All skin types including dark skins can be treated. This is a boon for Asian skin types which have typically been difficult to treat as they are more prone to pigmentary problems after ablative lasers. With Ulthera, there is little risk of burning facial skin or causing pigmentary problems even in dark skin types.
The Sloane Clinic is the pioneer for Ulthera and its signature treatment Ultherapy in Singapore. It introduced Ulthera in its clinics in July 2009 and has since treated hundreds of patients with good results Patients noted that the skin treated with Ulthera was firmer and more lifted immediately after the session. This improvement in tone and lift of the face continued to increase over the next few weeks. There was also significant brow lift of the treated side, resulting in a refreshed appearance for the eyes. Patients with fine lines under the eyes also noted that their lines are diminished and the eyes looked more "open" and awake. As the skin tightens across the lower face, patients have also reported slimming of the lower face, resulting in a more contoured and sculptured appearance.
"Ulthera presents very exciting possibilities for our patients as it gives them an added weapon in the fight against aging. Most of the patients who have undergone this procedure are very happy with the facial lifting results"
- says Dr. Low Chai Ling, medical director of The Sloane Clinic.
Ultherapy takes 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients will need only 1 to 2 sessions for maximal skin tightening, facial contouring and brow lifting effects. Its youth-enhancement results can last from months to years depending on the individual's aftercare and lifestyle, as with all other facial rejuvenation procedures. Recommended follow-up treatments every six months to a year are dependent on individual demands. The great thing about this treatment is that there is little to no downtime; patients can return to normal activity or even wear makeup immediately after.

Supershape
your body without surgery
Latest research on body shaping has centred on using therapeutic focused ultrasound, which has been used extensively in medical procedures for decades, for the purpose of breaking down fat cells. Research has shown that this focused ultrasound can selectively disrupt fat cells, yet leave the vessels, nerves, and connective tissue intact.
This research has given rise to the UltraShape™ procedure, which we are proudly introducing at The Sloane Clinic. The UltraShape™ procedure involves the delivery of focused ultrasound energy deep into the fat layer (or subcutaneous tissue) via a proprietary real-time tracking and guidance system. This ensures that fat cells in the treated area are broken down uniformly, giving a smooth and improved contour. No needles are involved, the procedure is virtually pain free, and very safe.
The fat released from the fat cells is then transported via the blood vessels to the liver, where it is processed and gotten rid of via the body's natural mechanisms. Focused ultrasound blasts away fat cells, while radiofrequency tightens skin. At The Sloane Clinic, we combine UltraShape™ with the FDA approved Thermage™ Body procedure, to stimulate collagen and tighten loose skin folds and sagging skin. The result - effective body lifting and contouring, without any scalpel, blood loss, or needles.
With just 3 sessions of UltraShape™, we are seeing 1 to 2 inches reduction on the treated area. As far as inch loss goes, this is very significant, and translates to visible results that our patients can see, and feel. And because UltraShape™ destroys the fat cells, the fatty deposits do not return easily, as long as our patients maintain their current weight. Have we found the perfect solution to non-invasive body contouring with UltraShape™? Well maybe not yet, but with our new body contouring program, we may well be very close.

Fraxel
The most talked about fractional laser resurfacing technique to hit town! It resurfaces your skin without the downtime of traditional laser peels. Patients have compared it to airbrushing a photograph, improving your skin pixel by pixel. Dermatology Times (Dec 2004) calls fraxel "in a class of its own". The New York Times (April 2005) hailed it as " the new laser that promises gentler repairs for damaged skin".
Laser Peel
You have heard of face peels, now there are LASER PEELS. A complete skin makeover, Laser Peels are the latest breakthrough in skin rejuvenation. This completely new approach to skin rejuvenation resurfaces and replenishes the skin at the same time. It uses gentle yet deep penetrating laser energy to exfoliate the tough and damaged outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing younger, softer, and fairer skin underneath.
Skin looks smoother, extremely brightened and more supple. This revolutionary multi-action peel smooth skin's texture, and reduces pore size as it renews environmentally and sun-damaged skin, improving skin's density and firmness. May also be used to help prevent and control blemishes.
So if you are looking for a safe, effective, no downtime way to slough off dead cells, deal with discolouration and shrink those pores without using harsh chemicals, there are more than a few good reasons to schedule a laser peel today and get back your glowing complexion.
Mesobotox
for smoother, clearer skin? If you think botox is only for wrinkles, think again. The latest mesobotox technique which uses micro-doses of botox deposited into your skin (not muscle) helps contract sweat and sebaceous (oil) glands so that skin tightens and has a wrinkle-free smoothness- sans the stiffness. From skin tightening to minimizing pore size, patients have been requesting for this treatment by name.
