We checked how well each HIFU device solves common skin issues as well as if there are downsides experienced during or after the procedure.

Services

We are looking into how diverse and updated each clinic’s HIFU treatments are to determine if they can address the different needs and skin conditions of each customer.

Availability

We checked each clinic’s location, number of branches, as well as their operating hours.

The Clifford Clinic is found in Clifford Center. We used the Raffles Place MRT to go here, which made it very accessible. 

Furthermore, it is open from Monday to Saturday with extended operating hours. However, it only has one branch open in the Central Business District.

The Clifford Clinic has over 40 years of experience in cosmetic and beauty procedures. 

In fact, it has one of the most diverse treatments on this list, delivering both invasive as well as non-invasive services.

We really like its HIFU Sygmalift, it’s one of the newest treatments for non-surgical facelifts with zero downtime. 

It is also an effective procedure for those who have drooping cheeks or crow’s feet. This treatment promises total facial rejuvenation while also reducing age-related lines on the face.

The only thing we didn’t like is that it takes about an hour to complete the session. If you are managing a tight daily schedule, you might need to dedicate more time if you plan to try the HIFU Sygmalift.

Nevertheless, the painless procedure with no downtime is quite tempting, especially for those who are not big fans of invasive treatments.

This is ideal for all types of skin! However, if you already have a severe case of aged skin, you may need more sessions to get a desirable result.

For more serious conditions, you may need a more intense procedure to totally solve your skin-related woes.

Pros

  • Accessible via the Raffles Place MRT
  • Extended operating hours throughout the week
  • 40 years of experience in the industry
  • Painless and easy HIFU procedure
  • Zero downtime
  • Ideal for all types of skin

Cons

  • Takes about an hour per session
  • May need more sessions for severe cases

V Medical Aesthetics & Laser Clinic is located in the Royal Square Novena, which is just beside the Royal Thai Embassy bus stop. 

It also has branches in Orchard, Somerset, Tanjong Pagar, Tampines, Woodlands, and Jurong, making it very accessible to anyone in Singapore.

This medical establishment has a positive reputation for delivering safe and effective aesthetic treatments. V Medical has a large team of 14 authorized and experienced specialists.

Its HIFU treatment is the standard variety. However, it’s one of its bestsellers, especially for those seeking a V-shaped face.

It’s also used for those concerns such as dark eye circles, sagging skin, wrinkles, and neck fat, to name a few.

The negative side effects such as redness and swelling are minimal but not completely avoided. Unlike more advanced procedures, you might expect some downsides here and there.

With that said, it may not be the best option for those who have highly sensitive skin. If you are one of those, we recommend seeing our other entries on this list!

Be that as it may, due to its stronger intensity, it is a more effective solution to more severe conditions. 

Overall, V Medical’s HIFU solution is not the most comfortable but can target and solve tougher skin ailments.

Pros

  • Just beside the Royal Thai Embassy bus stop
  • Has 6 other locations around the island
  • Provides safe and effective medical aesthetic services
  • Has 14 in-house certified specialists
  • Extended operating hours
  • HIFU treatment can manage tougher conditions
  • Ideal for those seeking V-shaped face

Cons

  • Some downsides are expected
  • Not as comfortable as other advanced HIFU procedures

3. Edwin Lim Medical Aesthetic Clinic

Edwin Lim Medical Aesthetic Clinic

Services: HIFU, pico laser, acne laser, carbon laser peel, fat freezing, and more

Website: https://edwinlimclinic.sg

Edwin Lim Medical Aesthetic is situated in Changi City Point, which is a 3-minute walk from the Expo Station Exit E bus stop. 

It is open from Monday to Saturday with long operating hours and has a second branch in Lucky Plaza. However, it is closed on Tuesdays.

Dr. Edwin Lim is the clinic’s founder and licensed doctor that provides excellent results. He is knowledgeable in advanced methods and uses the most modern tools in his medical establishment.

He uses the Ultraformer 3, a 3rd generation HIFU device that has more power, improved safety, and of course, clinically proven results.

Most machines only have 3 levels of depth while this has 4. Therefore being able to precisely target areas on the skin with better control of the intensity of the laser.

This procedure is ideal for those who want to target their cheeks, eyebrows, neck, jaw, and forehead. This nimble device can rejuvenate more areas on the face.

However, while relatively painless, you may experience some mild discomfort in areas that are closer to the bones. Dr. Edwin will apply a numbing cream to alleviate some aches and pains you may feel during the procedure.

Another thing we disliked is the rather long sessions for this HIFU treatment. You can expect to be in the clinic anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes.

Pros

  • 3-minute walk from the Expo Station Exit E bus stop
  • Has a second branch in Lucky Plaza
  • Long operating hours throughout the week
  • State-of-the-art equipment
  • Can target multiple areas of the face
  • Has a stronger power to target tougher skin issues 

Cons

  • Closed on Tuesdays
  • Relatively more painful on bony areas
  • Sessions tend to be long

4. Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic

Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic is situated inside The Cathay shopping mall and is only a 2-minute walk from the YMCA bus stop. 

However, it only has one branch open. Those who live outside the Novena area may have a hard time going here.

The clinic’s director, Dr. Kellyn Shiau, is authorized by Singapore’s Ministry of Health and is also a member of the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine. She specializes in lasers and dermal fillers, to mention a few.

Dr. Kelly uses a signature HIFU device that is very similar to the Ultraformer 3. Like the aforementioned machine, it is a nimble tool that is able to target multiple areas of the face.

The only difference is that this has fewer downsides and discomforts during the procedure, making it a better candidate for a wider set of clients. The duration of the sessions is relatively short too, about 30 to 45 minutes.

This advanced HIFU treatment is able to solve the usual skin-related issues and is an ideal choice for those who wish to have a slimmer looking face.

However, to get the best results you may need several sessions, which may be a costly endeavor down the road. Nevertheless, it’s still a great choice, especially for newbies.

Pros

  • 2-minute walk from the YMCA bus stop
  • Certified by the Ministry of Health
  • Member of the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine
  • Lip filler treatment is ideal for older people
  • Relatively short downtime
  • Doctor is discreet with good bedside manners
  • Good with clients overall

Cons

  • Only has one branch open
  • Requires several treatments for the desired effect

8 Medical Aesthetic Clinic is situated outside the Tampines Plaza office building and is a 4-minute stroll from the Opp Our Tampines Hub bus stop. It’s also available in other locations such as Somerset, Dhoby Ghaut, and Orchard. 

This clinic has long operating hours from Monday to Saturday. However, its weekday opening schedule is a bit haphazard.

On the bright side, it’s only a 15-minute taxi ride from Changi Airport, which makes it an ideal destination for foreign clients.

8 Medical is led by 3 specialists who are all experienced in aesthetic and cosmetic procedures from Botox, thread lifts, and even surgery. 

This clinic uses a special kind of HIFU device that has similarities with the 2nd and 3rd generation machines. However, it is more effective in tightening the skin with less discomfort.

It is able to do more lifting because it reaches a greater depth and penetrates even the toughest skin. This procedure is ideal for those who have plenty of fat on their faces, particularly the cheeks, chin, or eyebags.

Because of the increased power, it is able to achieve a desirable effect even in the first session. We also like that it has very minimal downsides!

However, due to the intensity, it may not be ideal for those who have extra sensitive skin. If you require a more mild procedure, you can try your luck with our other entries on this list.

Be that as it may, we believe this is a great treatment that can cover most, if not all kinds of skin-related issues for the face and neck!

Pros

  • 4-minute walk from the Opp Our Tampines Hub bus stop
  • 15-minute taxi ride away from Changi Airport
  • Has 4 other locations around the island
  • Long operating hours
  • 3 in-house specialists
  • Diverse HIFU treatment
  • Minimal downsides
  • Ideal for those who have more fat on their faces
  • Can see desirable results with one session

Cons

  • Haphazard opening time on weekdays
  • May not be ideal for extra sensitive skins

Dr Chio Aesthetic & Laser Centre was founded in 2005 and has been at the forefront when it comes to offering innovative aesthetic treatments.

What we like about their approach is that they go beyond traditional medical practice and provide evidence-based treatments.

What’s more is they offer comprehensive, integrative, and holistic approach to health as well as beauty and anti-ageing.

Their aesthetics treatments are either minimally invasive or non-surgical, which we think is a plus.

Another thing we like about them is the wide range of services they provide. We think they pretty much have a treatment for anything aesthetic so it can be a one-stop shop for these.

They specialize in Skin Rejuvenation, Acne & Scar Treatment, Skin Tightening & Lifting, Facial & Body Contouring, Hair Treatment and Anti-aging medicine so they’re reliable when it comes to these.

Their HIFU treatment is a non-invasive and no down-time procedure they offer to tighten the skin on the face and is one of the favorites of their clients.

They have two locations in Singapore—one in Orchard and another in Bedok which we think makes it convenient as this makes it more accessible for clients.

Pros

  • Innovative and evidence-based aesthetic treatments
  • Offers comprehensive, integrative, and holistic approach to health
  • Minimally-invasive and non-surgical
  • Experienced and highly trained staff
  • Two locations

Cons

  • Operating hours unavailable on website

If there’s someone we know who’s passionate about making patients look good, it’s Dr Chua Cheng Yu!

He’s an aesthetic doctor who’s obtained his degree in MBBS from NUS and earned a post-graduate surgical qualification from the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh).

He performs a variety of aesthetic procedures, and one of them includes HIFU.
We think his clinic is a great option for this because he’s actually a Regional trainer for Ultraformer HIFU, Elogio Asia. This fact just proves that he’s knowledgeable about such treatment and knows the process inside-out.

It’s evident to us that he’s very passionate and dedicated when it comes to his line of work. And with this dedication comes striving for excellent results and that’s what we think he delivers.

We do hope he has more information on his website about the various treatments and procedures he offers so that potential patients have broader idea of what to expect and what he can do.

On the whole, we think he’s worth the shot and we recommend him!

Pros

  • Experienced aesthetic physician
  • Dedicated and effective doctor

Cons

  • Operating hours unavailable on website
  • Limited information about services on website
