FACIAL CONTOURING
The history of facial contouring spans the last century when mankind started to be concerned over the signs of ageing. With age, the skin gradually loses its elasticity. Without the ability to contract back to a tighter shape, it starts to sag more. Gravity also tugs the layer of fat tissues underneath the skin. We offer a variety of Facial Contouring treatments which helps to relieve saggy skin concerns and gives you that firm, tight look and feel to your skin.

Threadlift
A PDO face thread lift involves the insertion of small barbed sutures underneath the skin along key areas of the face and pulled tighter to combat sagging. PDO stands for Polydioxanone, a material used to make these threads. PDO face thread lift is also known as V face thread lift and Korean thread lift.
PDO threads are safe, naturally broken down over months, do not damage tissue, and are barely visible as it is made with a transparent material. When it comes to PDO threads, there are 3 different types available that server different purposes due to their different thickness and lengths.
Mono threads are single PDO filaments where the threads are smooth and made without barbs. This achieves maximum skin tightening when the threads are inserted in a mesh-like pattern from all directions.
Cog threads are similar to mono threads but have a barb that attaches to the underside of the skin to suspend tissue structure. This creates a lifting effect due to the added support structure to the skin.
Screw threads are used to plump facial volume over sunken areas. One or two (multi-screw) threads are intertwined with the inserting needle to augment the final lifting results.
Threadlifts help to improve skin elasticity and texture, smoothen wrinkles, improve overall complexion and skin texture as well as contour and shape the face. This procedure can be done to most areas of the face as well as the decolletage, abdomen, buttocks, shoulders, knees, calves, and forearms.
Ultracel Q + HIFU
Have you found yourself fretting over the negative effects ageing has on your face? ULTRAcel Q+ HIFU gives you the advantage of a facelift without having to consider surgery or similarly invasive procedures. With the delivery of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), deep tissue layers are targeted.
ULTRAcel Q+ reaches deep under the skin, fully penetrating into the second layer of muscles underneath the facial muscles to contract skin muscles. Going deep means increased levels of collagen production. After the age of 20, the skin synthesises less collagen with each passing year.
As such, the skin gets dry, thin and less taut. Upon collagen production, once sagging facial and neck skin lifts and appear youthful and tighter. ULTRAcel Q+ can also be used to treat stubborn body fat, giving contour to the body.
Benefits
- No downtime
- Minimal discomfort
- Non-invasive (No cutting or stitches). Ultrasound does not disrupt the surface of the skin.

Ultherapy
Ultherapy® (Ultherapy in Singapore) is a non-invasive tissue lift treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound to precisely heat tissue at multiple depths without affecting the surface of the skin. The result is a multi-dimensional lift that begins at the skin’s foundation.
What is Ultherapy?
The Ulthera system received U.S. FDA approval in 2009 through the de novo process, creating a new category of device. Ultherapy delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy below the skin’s surface. This targets the foundational layers of the skin, precisely heating tissue to the optimal temperature for neocollagenesis (>60oC), without affecting the epidermis.
As we age, our skin starts to sag with gravity and wrinkles form on areas such as the forehead and crowsfeet. This is where Ultherapy comes in. A non-surgical ultrasound treatment that combats the signs of ageing by tightening and lifting sagging loose skin around the face and neck. Results can be achieved with just one 60 minute session.
The beauty of this 30-60 minutes face treatment is that it uses the body’s own regenerative response to gently and gradually “restore memory” to the skin and underlying tissue support.
How does the Ultherapy procedure work?
As with other ultrasound procedures, a smooth applicator placed upon your skin projects an image onto a screen that allows your practitioner to plan your treatment. This same applicator is then used to deliver tiny deposits of focused ultrasound energy at just the right depth below the skin to achieve a positive effect, all the while leaving the surface of your skin undisturbed. Your skin’s response to the energy is to stimulate the growth of new collagen. A gradual tightening and firming occurs, resulting in a natural lift of the skin over time.
What does it feel like?
Many patients who undergone Ultherapy review that there might be slight discomfort felt during the process which is a sign that new collagen is forming. Comfort levels may differ for each patient but our medical staff at The Chelsea Clinic aims to make each session as pleasant of an experience as possible. A layer of numbing cream is applied before each Ultherapy session begins and after treatment there might be slight redness but it tends to subside in a few hours. You may resume your normal daily activities and no additional aftercare measures are required. It is normal to experience slight swelling a few days after the treatment or a tingling sensation a few weeks after. However, these symptoms are mild and will eventually subside.
What kind of results can I expect?
With just one treatment, the regenerative process is initiated, but the effect will build gradually over the course of two to three months. Further improvements can even appear up to six months following a procedure. Some patients may benefit from more than one treatment. Visible effects including lifting and toning of sagging skin. In the FDA clinical trial for instance, nine out of ten patients had a noticeable, significant lift of the brow line. This results in reduced skin laxity on the eyelid and a youthful look to the eyes overall. Patients who had undergone Ultherapy review that their skin felt firmer and better-fitting after one session. There is also an invisible results from the procedure with the creation of new, youthful, collagen and elastin that helps strengthen the skin from within.
Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
Individuals with loose and sagging skin on their face or eyelids are good candidates for Ultherapy. Although Ultherapy does not replicate the results of surgery, it is an alternative solution for those are still unsure about going under the knife.
Should you require to view some Ultherapy before and after photos, you may request for them to be shown during your consultation. Due to privacy issues, Ultherapy before and after photos cannot be provided online.

Profhilo
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a 100% pure Hyaluronic Acid anti-ageing procedure that addresses skin laxity and bio-stimulates collagen, elastin and adipocytes (fat) stem cells that were lost as a result of ageing. It is clinically proven for its safety, efficacy and bio-compatibility.
Profhilo is in-between a filler and skinbooster as it is formulated with a patented NAHYCO Hybrid Technology. This unique technology binds both high and low molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, without the use of chemical cross-linked agents which decreases the chance of inflammation.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid provides the skin with volume, like what a filler does.
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid immensely boosts the skin’s moisture levels, just like a Skinbooster.
Profhilo requires only 5 unique injection points per side of the face. These points are known as Bio Aesthetic Points or simply BAP. Using the BAP technique, diffusion of the product is optimized with minimal pain and downtime.
Are there other benefits?
Yes! Apart from volumizing and hydrating the skin, it also improves the overall skin quality and gives it a lifting, firming and tightening effect. For those affected by acne scars, you’re not left out. Profhilo also repairs damaged tissue caused by acne.
What is the recommended number of sessions?
2 sessions are required for optimal results and are to be done 1 month apart. For maintenance purposes, the treatment can be done once every 6-9 months.
Can I do Profhilo on areas other than the face?
Other treatment areas include the neck, décolletage and hands.

Synergistic Effect with Celltense & Hyalgen Serum
Harnessing the particle technology of gold and hyaluronic acid, Celltense and Hyalgen improve skin firmness, and/or the appearance of cellulite, revealing younger, healthier-looking skin. Celltense is specifically for body treatments while Hyalgen is meant for facial treatments. Hyaluronic acid-coated gold nanoparticles have the unique ability to activate the CD44 cell receptor, which regulates the endogenous production of hyaluronic acid and collagen. At the same time, these gold nanoparticles absorb the electromagnetic radiation and use their absorbed energy to increase their temperature, boosting their efficacy.
Celltense and Hyalgen is applied to the skin prior to radiofrequency and the coated nanoparticles speed up the production of collagen. Patients who combine this with radiofrequency may expect synergistic results. This serum causes no lesion or side effects.
