Face Lifting Treatment in Singapore
페이스 리프팅
A softening jawline, less defined cheeks and skin that feels less firm can reflect several changes: skin laxity, loss of facial volume, tissue descent or localised fat. These concerns may look similar, but they do not necessarily need the same treatment.
Non-surgical face lifting treatment in Singapore includes energy-based devices and injectables that may improve selected firmness, contour and skin-quality concerns. The achievable change depends on your anatomy and the degree of laxity or volume loss.
At Cheongdam, the Korean face lift approach centres on personalised assessment and natural-looking outcomes, with preparation, treatment and ongoing care matched to your needs.
This page explains the options available, how doctor-led and therapist-led treatments differ, and what to expect from assessment through to recovery.
What Is Face Lifting Treatment?
Non-surgical face lifting is a broad term for procedures that may improve firmness, facial contours or structural support without surgical tissue repositioning. It is not a single procedure or an equivalent alternative to a surgical facelift.
Some treatments produce an early visible effect, while others work gradually over weeks to months. Results are usually more limited than surgery, especially where there is substantial excess skin or tissue descent.
There are two broad mechanisms behind many skin tightening treatment options:
Energy-based treatments use ultrasound, radiofrequency or microwave energy to produce controlled tissue heating. Depending on the device and protocol, this may support collagen remodelling, firmness or selected contour changes.
Injectable treatments can stimulate collagen and, with suitable products and techniques, address volume or structural-support concerns.
Face Lifting and Skin Tightening Treatment Options at Cheongdam
Cheongdam offers doctor-led and therapist-led options. Treatment selection reflects whether your main concern is loose skin, volume loss, localised fullness or a combination.
| Doctor-led Options | How It Works | Typical Concern | Sessions | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultherapy Prime | Microfocused ultrasound with real-time imaging delivers energy at selected tissue depths; targets the SMAS layer | Selected face and neck laxity; brow, under-chin and neck lifting concerns | Once a year | Usually limited interruption; redness, swelling or tenderness may occur |
| Shurink Ultraformer MPT | Focused ultrasound delivered using cartridges selected for the area and anatomy | Selected laxity, fine lines and contour concerns | 2 to 3 sessions, spaced roughly 4 to 6 months apart | Usually limited interruption; swelling, tenderness or temporary altered sensation may occur |
| XERF | Needle-free multifrequency monopolar RF supports tissue heating and remodelling | Selected firmness, laxity and facial-contour concerns | 3 to 4 sessions a year | Usually limited interruption; warmth, redness or swelling may occur |
| Volnewmer | Monopolar RF with integrated cooling supports collagen remodelling | Mild to moderate skin laxity, volume loss and selected fine-line concerns | 2 to 3 sessions, spaced roughly 6 months apart | Usually limited interruption; redness, swelling or tenderness may occur |
| CaHA Radiance Lifting | Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) injectable; effect depends on dilution and technique | Selected structural-support, volume or skin-quality concerns | Individualised according to formulation, area and goal | Injection-related swelling, bruising or tenderness; duration varies |
| Sculpt & Volume Collagen Booster | Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable stimulates gradual collagen production | Selected collagen-related volume loss and facial-support concerns | A staged course is often considered; number and intervals are individualised | Injection-related swelling, bruising or tenderness; duration varies |
| Rejuve Collagen Skin Booster | Poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) with hyaluronic acid supports gradual collagen remodelling | Selected skin-quality, fine-line and texture concerns; not a substitute for a substantial lift | A course is often considered, with progress reviewed | Injection bumps, swelling or bruising; duration varies |
| Morpheus8 RF Microneedling | Combines microneedling with fractional RF energy delivered at selected depths | Selected skin laxity, fine lines, acne scars and uneven texture; suitable protocols may address small localised fat deposits | A series may be recommended; number and intervals depend on the area, protocol and response | Redness, swelling, needle marks or crusting for several days; intensive protocols may require longer recovery |
Ultherapy Prime uses microfocused ultrasound with real-time visualisation to help the doctor select appropriate tissue targets. It can be treated at different nominal depths; deeper cartridges may reach fibromuscular support layers where anatomy allows. Treating a similar tissue plane does not reproduce the repositioning achieved by surgery. It may be considered for selected brow, under-chin or neck laxity and related facial concerns. It does not directly replace lost volume, and fullness under the chin must be distinguished from loose skin. Comfort measures, treatment time and repeat timing are determined individually rather than fixed for everyone.
Shurink Ultraformer MPT uses focused ultrasound with different cartridge depths. Shallow protocols may address selected skin-quality concerns, while deeper protocols may be considered for laxity or contouring where suitable. Cartridge selection is based on tissue thickness and anatomy; fat-targeting settings are inappropriate where preserving facial volume is the goal.
XERF is a non-invasive, needle-free multifrequency monopolar RF treatment. It is distinct from RF microneedling. Its external applicator and cooling system allow controlled heating intended to support tissue remodelling and improve selected firmness concerns. Numbing is not routinely required, although comfort varies.
Volnewmer uses monopolar RF with cooling to support controlled tissue heating and collagen remodelling. It may improve firmness and selected fine lines. It should not be described as directly restoring hollow cheeks or replacing volume in sunken areas; these require a separate assessment.
CaHA Radiance Lifting contains CaHA microspheres in a gel carrier. Depending on how it is prepared and placed, it may provide structural support or volume and stimulate collagen. Diluted or hyperdiluted approaches have different goals from volumising placement. Your doctor explains the suitability and intended effect for the selected area.
Sculpt & Volume Collagen Booster contains PLLA and works gradually through collagen stimulation. It may be considered when collagen-related volume loss contributes to facial ageing. Initial swelling is not the final result; the treatment is usually assessed over a staged course rather than judged immediately after injection.
Rejuve Collagen Skin Booster combines PDLLA with hyaluronic acid. It is generally considered for selected skin-quality and textural concerns, including fine lines, with gradual collagen remodelling.
Morpheus8 RF Microneedling combines fine needles with fractional radiofrequency energy to support collagen remodelling and improve selected firmness, fine-line and texture concerns. Appropriate protocols may also address small localised fat deposits where these contribute to contour concerns.
| Therapist-led options | How It Works | Typical Concern | Sessions | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InMode Lifting (Forma + MiniFX) | Combines external bipolar RF heating with vacuum-assisted RF treatment where appropriate | Skin firmness alongside selected localised fullness, such as under the chin | A series may be recommended; schedule depends on response | Usually limited interruption; MiniFX can cause suction marks, bruising or tenderness |
| InMode Forma | External bipolar RF with temperature monitoring heats skin tissue | Early laxity and reduced firmness | A series may be recommended, followed by review | Temporary warmth or redness; swelling may occur |
| InMode MiniFX | Vacuum-assisted bipolar RF and electrical pulses target selected small contour areas | Suitable localised fat pockets and contour concerns | A series may be recommended; spacing is individualised | Suction marks, swelling, bruising or tenderness may occur |
| Onda Pro | Coolwaves ® microwave energy delivered using an appropriate handpiece | Selected localised fullness and laxity concerns | A series is often considered, schedule is individualised | Usually limited interruption; redness, swelling or tenderness may occur |
| EndyMED RF | 3DEEP radiofrequency produces controlled tissue heating | Early skin laxity and reduced firmness | A series is often considered, schedule is individualised | Temporary warmth, redness or swelling may occur |
InMode Lifting: Therapist-led combination of Forma and MiniFX where appropriate. Forma focuses on controlled RF heating for firmness, while MiniFX may address suitable localised fullness. The handpieces can also be selected separately.
Onda Pro: Therapist-led microwave treatment using an appropriate facial handpiece for selected fullness or laxity concerns. Suitability depends on fat distribution, tissue thickness and the intended contour change.
EndyMED RF: Therapist-led 3DEEP RF treatment for selected firmness concerns, often delivered as a series.
Signs of Sagging Skin, and Which Concern You Have
An assessment distinguishes loose skin, tissue descent, volume loss and localised fat before treatment is selected.
| What you’re noticing | What it’s generally called | Commonly considered approach |
|---|---|---|
| Skin feels less firm, with subtle loss of definition | Early skin laxity | Selected ultrasound or RF tightening protocols |
| A softer jawline or early jowls | Lower-face contour change; may involve several tissue layers | Assessment of laxity, volume and fat before selecting a treatment |
| Cheeks look flatter or hollower, with deeper folds | Volume loss, tissue descent or both | Assessment for appropriate structural support or collagen-stimulating injections, with tightening where suitable |
| Loose or crepey skin under the chin or on the neck | Submental or neck laxity | Selected tightening protocols; substantial excess skin may need surgical assessment |
| Fullness under the chin despite relatively firm skin | Localised submental fat or another cause of fullness | Assessment for suitable contouring treatment rather than skin tightening alone |
Who Is Face Lifting Treatment Suitable For?
Non-surgical options may suit people with mild to moderate laxity, selected volume concerns or localised fullness who understand the limits of treatment and can follow aftercare.
They may provide less change than expected where there is significant excess skin, pronounced tissue descent or substantial structural change. A surgical assessment may be more appropriate in these situations.
Suitability depends on anatomy, skin condition, medical history and treatment goals, rather than age alone. Tell the clinic about:

What to Expect During Your Treatment
- Consultation and assessment. A doctor assesses doctor-led devices and injectable options. A therapist conducts the consultation for therapist-led options, with medical concerns referred for doctor review where needed. The assessment identifies whether laxity, volume loss or fat contributes most to your concern.
- Preparation on the day. Your skin is cleansed. Comfort measures vary; numbing is not routinely required for every device and may be used for selected procedures.
- The treatment itself. External devices may cause warmth, pressure, suction or discomfort. Injections involve needle or cannula placement. Appointment length depends on the treatment area, preparation and protocol.
- Immediately afterwards. Redness, warmth or swelling may occur. MiniFX may leave suction marks or bruising; injectables may cause bumps, tenderness or bruising. Recovery is explained for your chosen treatment.
- Aftercare. Your doctor or therapist provides procedure-specific instructions, including skincare and any activity restrictions. Massage is product-specific: do not apply another injectable’s aftercare instructions to your treatment.
- Over the following weeks. Collagen-related effects generally develop over weeks to months. Progress is reviewed before further procedures, with repeat timing based on response and healing. Seek prompt medical advice for blistering, worsening pain, persistent sensory changes or unexpected contour changes. After injections, unusual severe pain, skin blanching or mottling, or vision symptoms require urgent assessment.
Face Lifting Treatment Cost in Singapore
The cost of a face lifting treatment plan depends on several variables: which modality is used, how many areas are treated, how pronounced the concern is, and how many sessions the plan involves.
A single-area, single-session treatment costs less than a multi-area plan combining energy-based devices with injectables.
A personalised quotation is provided after assessment. The clinic explains the inclusions and applicable GST before treatment begins; there is no single price suitable for every face lifting plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is non-surgical face lifting treatment painful?
Most non-surgical treatments involve mild discomfort rather than pain, often described as heat or pressure at the treatment depth. Numbing cream is used where appropriate. Sensitivity varies from person to person.
How long do the results of face lifting treatment last?
Results vary depending on the treatment used, your skin, and your natural ageing process. Collagen-based treatments build gradually and typically continue improving for several months, though how long results persist varies between individuals.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on the treatment, the area, and how advanced your concern is. Your doctor will recommend a session plan at consultation based on an assessment of your skin, rather than a fixed number applied to everyone.
Is there any downtime after face lifting treatment?
Downtime varies by treatment. Some options involve little more than mild redness, while others may need a short recovery period. Your doctor will explain what to expect for your specific treatment plan.
What is the difference between a Korean face lift and a surgical facelift?
“Korean face lift” describes a treatment approach rather than a standard medical procedure. At Cheongdam, it refers to personalised non-surgical care informed by Korean techniques. A surgical facelift repositions tissue and can address more substantial sagging; the degree of change is different.
Can face lifting treatment be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients combine energy-based devices with injectables or with skin treatments addressing texture or pigmentation. Your doctor will advise on a suitable combination based on your goals.
At what age should I consider a sagging face treatment?
There’s no fixed age. Some people start with preventative treatments in their thirties, while others begin once they notice more visible sagging later on. It depends on your skin and what you’re hoping to address, not a specific number.
How soon will I see a difference?
Some treatments produce a visible effect early on, with continued improvement over the following months as collagen builds. Exactly when you’ll notice a difference varies between individuals and the treatment used.
