Light Sheer Diode Hair Removal Laser



A very popular procedure and a favorite among my patients. The GOLD standard laser hair removal machine.. there are only 2 types of machines that really work well for hair removal and this for me is the best one. I know there are some machines out there being used that don't work that well.. but i'd rather not mention these machines.

It gets rid of excessive unwanted hair on the upper lip, face, underarms, chest, back, arms, bikini line (or "brazilian") and legs. Treatments are usually done every 3 to 6 weeks for 4 to 8 sessions depending on the type of hair and area involved.

DERMA RF for Skin Tightening and Contouring



This is another favorite procedure of mine... and its also known as the RF-Lift(Radiofrequency Lift). I usually combine this with the PIXEL Resurfacing Laser so that I hit both the superficial and deep areas of the skin for complete rejuventation and optimal anti-aging effects. This can also be combined nicely with Diamond Peels, IPL, Botox and Fillers if needed.

This is a non-surgical method for skin tightening and facial contouring that uses radiofrequency with DermaRF technology to heat up the dermis to the required temperature without damaging the outer skin to produce collagen remodelling. It targets skin laxity and sagging over the face and neck by creating a tighter jawline, improving the nasolabial folds and reducing undereye puffiness and laxity. It also reduces wrinkles, fine lines and pore size as it tightens the skin.

The treatments are done every 2 weeks for 6 sessions. The good thing about this procedure is that there is zero downtime and it is relatively painless with no anesthetic required.

Here are some links from singapore regarding this procedure:

PIXEL Resurfacing Laser




This is DEFINITELY one of my favorite laser treatments when it comes to patients who want to smoothen the skin, to lessen wrinkles, fine lines, large pores, uneven pigmentation, sun damage.. and especially acne scars.

Its a new treatment using a 2940nm Erbium YAG laser to resurface the superficial layer of the skin. The Pixel technology produces less epidermal ablation and less thermal damage thus promoting rapid healing. The advantage of this machine is that it gives very good visible results after each session with only a minimal downtime of 3 days on the everage because of the "pixel" technology.

Sessions take around 20 minutes and this may be used on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands... and I usually do this to patients every 3 to 4 weeks for 3 to 4 sessions depending on the area and condition to be treated. If you want to know more about this procedure, you can search or Google it.. or just call the clinic.
