Fotona TightSculpting®

Non-surgical body fat sculpting and skin tightening

introduction

What is TightSculpting®

Changes in diet and lifestyle can help shed the extra weight, but for many, it is impossible to reduce fat deposits in certain areas of the body. Fotona TightSculpting® is a unique dual-wavelength, non-invasive laser treatment for sculpting and skin tightening on multiple face and body areas. By delivering controlled heat to stubborn fat areas, it effectively reduces fat, sculpts, transforms, and tightens the area.

What to Expect

What to Expect

Combining dual-wavelength laser wavelengths, both modes work synergistically to create effective outcomes for all body types.

Step 1: Deep skin tightening and fat reduction with PIANO® pulse

The super long Nd:YAG pulse in the PIANO is designed to heat up the deep tissues comfortably, safely, rapidly, and uniformly by concentrating energy delivery to subcutaneously stimulate the body’s metabolism of fat, leaving the skin surface intact.

The treated area is heated to and maintained at a safe temperature range of between 39 to 45℃ to facilitate lipolysis, the temperature at which fat cells are destroyed, while leaving other surrounding cells unharmed.

Step 2: Improvement of skin surface laxity with SMOOTH® pulse

The second stage consists of a non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTH® mode that is used to tighten the skin as the fat is metabolised by the body, tightening any excess skin from sagging.

The controlled energy from the laser stimulates collagen remodelling. This results in an overall improvement of laxity and elasticity in the treatment areas, giving the skin a firmer appearance.

FAQ

frequently asked questions

WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?

As a non-invasive treatment, Fotona TightSculpting® causes minimal to no pain or discomfort. As the laser moves over the treated area, you may experience a warming sensation which should dissipate shortly after the treatment. Overall, treatments are generally quite well tolerated.

Fotona TightSculpting® is suitable for most individuals. It is ideal for anyone looking to tighten loose skin or sculpt a portion of their body by getting rid of unwanted fat deposits that are hard to lose through dieting and exercise.

However, it is not suited for individuals struggling with weight loss. For weight loss treatments, we recommend Clatuu Alpha Fat Freezing.

Each treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes per session, depending on the size of the treatment area. Our aesthetic doctor will pass the Fotona handpieces over the treated area, delivering laser energy deep into your skin to break down stubborn fat deposits while tightening the skin.

While TightSculpting® results vary within individuals, most individuals will see immediate tightening after the treatment, with results gradually improving after a few weeks.

Depending on your desired outcome, you might require subsequent treatment sessions. As our treatments are all tailored to every patient’s individual, the recommended number of sessions will be discussed during your initial consultation with Dr. Jonathan Lee.

Patients are able to resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment. Fotona TightSculpting® is a safe, non-invasive procedure with no bruising. You may feel some warmth on the treated area due to the laser energy, but this usually resolves shortly after the treatment.

As part of the post treatment care, direct sun exposure on the treated area should be avoided for at least 5 days. Throughout the course of the treatment, sun protection should also be applied to the treated area.

Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers
What is Restylane® Kysse

Dubbed as the gold standard of lip fillers, Restylane® Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that’s designed specifically for our lips. Using XpresHAn™ Technology, it provides flexible movement and natural-looking volume while enhancing the texture and colour of the lips.

Benefits of Restylane Kesse
  • Luscious, plumped lips

  • Soft, natural-looking results

  • Smooths lip lines and wrinkles

  • Enhances the colour of your lips

  • Allows for flexible lip movements

  • More defined, volumized, and youthful lips

  • Longer-lasting results as compared to other lip fillers

  • Immediate results with zero downtime

What to Expect

Step 1

All Restylane® Kysse fillers come with lidocaine, an anesthetic, to ensure that your treatment is relaxing and entirely comfortable. Initially, a topical anesthetic will be applied on the injection site to numb the area.

Step 2

Our aesthetic doctor will begin the procedure with the first injection using an ultra-fine needle, before taking a pause to allow the lidocaine in Restylane® Kysse to further numb the lip area.

Step 3

The procedure then continues until the treated area shows the desired results. Thereafter, the injected area will be massaged to ensure that the filler gel is distributed evenly across the lips for natural results.

Restylane Kysse Frequently Asked Questions
Am I an ideal candidate for Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers?

Patients should not use Kysse lip filler if they:

  • Have a history of severe allergic reactions.

  • Have had a previous allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid fillers.

  • Are allergic to anesthetics, like lidocaine.

While both of these are hyaluronic acid lip fillers, they have slightly different formulas. Restylane® Kysse adds volume and enhances your existing lip shape and symmetry to create smooth, natural-looking lips. It can also treat smoker’s lines, or commonly known as wrinkles around the mouth.

Juvederm, on the other hand, is a great option for patients who are looking for a more voluminous look. When deciding on which lip filler, it depends on the look you want to achieve.

Due to the different formulations, Restylane® Kysse has a unique structure that lasts longer than other fillers. Most dermal lip fillers last around 9 months, however you can expect results lasting up to 12 months with Restylane® Kysse.

The discomfort experienced during the treatment varies from person to person and depends on factors such as:

  • Sensitivity of the patient

  • Pain tolerance of the patient

  • Anxiety level of the patient

Restylane® Kysse comes with anesthetic inside the gel already, hence discomfort is at its minimum.

All lip fillers have some mild side effects. You may experience some slight swelling and bruising on the injected area, but these should go away within 7 days.

  • As with other lip fillers treatment, a cold compress may be applied to the injected area to reduce swelling.

  • Avoid touching the injected area for at least 6 hours so that you do not accidentally injure your skin while the area is numb. Thereafter, the treatment area can be gently washed with soap and water.

  • Minimise strenuous exercise and exposure to excess heat, sun, or UV rays for the first 24 hours. Exposure to these may cause temporary redness, swelling, or itching at the treated area.

Full aftercare instructions will also be provided after the treatment.

Acne

A commonly overlooked yet physically and psychologically scarring problem, acne is a long-drawn problem that commences at puberty and can drag on well into one’s 20s to 30s. Adult-onset acne is also common, commencing in one’s 20s to 30s and dragging on well beyond that. Caused mainly by accumulation of dead skin, bacterial infection and uncontrolled inflammation, acne is a rather well understood medical condition. Hormonal influences, genetic factors, and even proposed dietary influences are known to be the underlying drivers of acne in some too. Early intervention is the best solution – less acne translates to less scarring, saving you precious time and finances required in attempting to resurface those pesky scars later on.

Acne Treatments

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels consist of mild acids that, when applied to skin, promote controlled exfoliation of skin as well as inactivation of the sebaceous units responsible for breakouts.

Used as a complimentary form of treatment to existing topical therapy, chemical peels can quickly and effectively control most forms of acne.

3-5 sessions are typically required at 2 weekly intervals to bring acne under control, with subsequent sessions done every 4-6 weeks for maintenance.

Find out more about Chemical Peels

Carbon Peel

Using a specialised laser and a black carbon-based ink on the face, sebaceous glands can be targeted, bacteria killed, and mild exfoliation performed.

Sessions done at 2-4 weekly intervals can help keep acne bay while also helping to lighten any post-inflammatory pigmentation left by the acne and even reduce pore size.

 Find out more about Chemical Peels

AGNES

For the larger, stubborn and recurrent acne, the use of a highly selective probe to deliver high radio-frequency energy into the sebaceous unit effectively and permanently inactivates the gland.

This more permanent solution to acne allows for effective management of recurrent acne without having to resort to oral medication such as oral isotretinoin.

Tattoo Removal
Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Newer methods of treatment are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Existing therapies involve the use of nano-second Q-switched lasers, but treatments prove difficult with many requiring 2-3 years of repeated visits at 2-3 monthly intervals. Newer methods of treatment involve the use of newly developed pico-second lasers. These lasers, firing many times faster than conventional Q switched lasers, fracture pigments more effectively. In effect, treatments are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Here at The Aesthetic Studio, we employ the use of the Lutronic Picoplus Pico-second laser for optimal tattoo removal; with 4 wavelengths of light at your disposal, removal of tattoos of varying colour and complexity just got easier.

Tattoo Removal Treatment

With a high energy output, a wide range of precisely controllable fluence output and four wavelengths of light for increased versatility, the Picoplus Pico-second laser is optimised for tattoo removal and pigment management. 

Depending on tattoo complexity, 5-10 sessions may be required at monthly intervals for optimal clearance.

Combination with ablative lasers may be advised to reduce post-laser blistering commonly associated with tattoo removal.
