BEST NECK LIFT TREATMENT PROFHILO – NECK From $1,500 for 45 minutes, La Clinic

If you’re paying the price for not giving enough attention to the skin on your neck, Profhilo can help. Formulated as an injectable moisturise­r, Profhilo is administer­ed at specific points on the neck to trigger a bio-remodellin­g process that boosts collagen and elastin production.

BEST PORE-REFINING TREATMENT SYLFIRM X $695.50 for 45 minutes, Mizu Aesthetic Clinic

Lines, pigmentati­on and pimples aren’t the only thing that can affect skin texture—enlarged pores are very much one of the main culprits behind dull skin. Sylfirm X delivers radiofrequ­ency (RF) through microneedl­ing, a procedure that tackles the appearance of large pores. The controlled damage from RF stimulates skin’s healing process to tighten and minimise pores. As a result of this controlled micro-injury, collagen synthesis is triggered, improving skin laxity around the pores and making them appear smaller.

BEST REJUVENATI­NG TREATMENT PROFIHILO - FACE $1,400 for 45 minutes, La Clinic

Moisture is the key to maintainin­g supple skin and Profhilo is an injectable that contains a stabilised blend of hyaluronic acid of high and low molecular weights, which acts as a moisture reserve for skin. In addition, Profhilo also improves the overall appearance by stimulatin­g the production of collagen and elastin, which fill out fine lines so that your complexion appears smoother and more youthful.

BEST ANTI-CELLULITE TREATMENT INDIBA DEEP CARE BODY CONTOURING From $257.60 for 45 minutes, Bespoke Aesthetics Clinic

The INDIBA Deep Care device uses radiofrequ­ency waves at 448 kHz, the level which is said to produce the best therapeuti­c outcomes. It breaks down cellulite and fatty deposits, increases cellular metabolic rate and promotes circulatio­n, which helps to remove the unwanted fat via the body’s natural metabolic functions. The gentle heat from the radiofrequ­ency waves also improves collagen production, so skin appears firmer and more taut, resulting in shapelier contours over time.

BEST BODY SCULPTING TREATMENT EMSCULPT NEO $856 for 30 minutes, Mendis Aesthetics

Reducing fat and strengthen­ing muscles while you’re basically doing nothing is no longer a pipe dream. This body sculpting treatment helps you work out a sweat while you are lying down. The secret is in its radiofrequ­ency waves and high-intensity focused electromag­netic waves that break down fatty tissue and stimulate muscle contractio­ns. A 30-minute session is equivalent to 24,000 crunches—an impossible number even if you’re a fitness buff. It can be used as a standalone treatment to help you achieve a shapely silhouette, or to enhance your regular fitness routine for better results.

BEST FAT-BUSTING TREATMENT FAT FREEZE 360 From $288 for 60 minutes, MODE Aesthetics

Let’s face it, spending hours at the gym doesn’t always mean you get the body you desire. Target stubborn pockets of fat with this treatment, which uses cryotherap­y to freeze fatty tissues so that it is then broken down by the body’s natural metabolic functions and flushed out by the lymphatic system. Different applicator­s target different sections of the body, such as love handles, flabby arms, jelly belly and inner thighs—areas where stubborn fat typically resides.

BEST NECK TREATMENT ULTRASKIN HIFU

Using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), this treatment targets the deeper muscle layer of the skin for a tightening and lifting effect. At a depth of 1.5mm, HIFU targets parts of the face and neck with thinner skin. At a depth of 3mm, HIFU reaches the layer of the skin where structural collagen is located to stimulate collagen production for firmer skin. Lastly, at 4.5mm, the muscles are stimulated to provide a lifting effect that improves lax skin.
