Thinking about Ultherapy? You might have heard the term floating around, or seen it mentioned on social media and clinic advertisements. But what exactly is Ultherapy, and is it the right treatment for your skin?
At Dr Shane’s clinic in Singapore, we believe that no two faces are the same. That means treatment shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Ultherapy is one of the many tools we offer—but only after we take the time to understand your skin in depth.
Here’s everything you need to know to understand if Ultherapy may be a good option.
Ultherapy is a FDA-approved, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. Unlike lasers or radio frequency, Ultherapy reaches the same foundational layer that surgeons work on during a facelift—but without any cutting or downtime.
Ultherapy harnesses ultrasound energy and delivers precisely controlled thermal energy (60-70°C) to specific subcutaneous depths with precise visualisation unique to ulthera devices that allow planning of treatments.

However, not everyone is a good candidate. During your consultation, Dr Shane will assess your skin’s condition to determine if Ultherapy—or another treatment—would be more effective.
If you’re considering non-surgical skin lifting, you’ve probably come across both Ultherapy and HIFU. While they may seem similar, there are some key differences that can impact your results and safety. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Why expertise matters: An experienced doctor like Dr Shane ensures the correct depth and energy settings for optimal safety and results.
Depending on your skin condition and goals, one may be better than the other—or a combination might be best. That’s where a consultation with Dr Shane comes in.
You may see a gradual lift over the first 2–3 months, with continued improvement over 6 months as collagen builds. Results can last 12–18 months, depending on your skin condition and lifestyle.
Ultherapy in Singapore typically costs between SGD $1,500 to $4,500 depending on the area treated, individual treatment plan, device generation, and clinic expertise. Dr Shane provides tailored treatment plans based on your skin’s needs and goals.
Investing in an expert matters—cheaper options may compromise safety and results. Choosing an inexperienced provider may risk uneven results, burns, or poor lifting effects.
Common treatment areas include:
Key Concerns about Ultherapy
Ultherapy is generally low-downtime, but some temporary reactions are normal as your skin begins its natural renewal process. Some people may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness post-treatment. These usually resolve within a few days.
During your consultation, Dr Shane will carefully assess your skin to ensure Ultherapy is safe and suitable for your unique needs.
Discomfort levels vary. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm prickling or tingling.
At Dr Shane's clinic, we offer pain control options and ensure you're comfortable throughout.
These include strong topical numbing, oral pain killers, oral sedation, inhaled anaesthesia, injectable anaesthesia, or intravenous sedation for those who might require it.
In most cases, just one session is needed.
However, based on your skin’s condition and how your body responds, a follow-up session may be recommended after a year.
For mild to moderate sagging Ultherapy provides noticeable lifting. However, severe laxity may still require surgery. Dr Shane will advise honestly during your consultation.
Choosing an aesthetic treatment isn’t about finding the “best device” – it’s about finding the right expertise.
At Dr Shane’s clinic, we believe remarkable results begin with three fundamentals: medical precision, honest advice, and customised care.
While many clinics focus on selling treatments, we prioritise:
✔ Doctor-Led Consultations
Every treatment plan begins with a medical evaluation of your skin’s needs – not a sales conversation.
✔ Safety-First Philosophy
We use only HSA-approved devices and disclose all potential risks transparently.
✔ No Pressure, Just Professional Advice
You’ll leave your consultation either:
✔ Natural-Looking Results
Our treatment plans prioritise gradual, authentic improvement over dramatic but short-lived changes.
✔ Continued Aftercare
Post-treatment guidance to help maintain and optimise your results
Many patients discover during consultation that their skin concerns actually require:
→ A different treatment approach
→ Combination therapies
→ Or simply more time before considering procedures
Book a skin health assessment to get professional insights before deciding on any treatment.
