Minimally Invasive Aesthetic Procedures
Low downtime procedures for patients who can’t take time out for surgical procedures, we offer options for cosmetic improvements which allow a timely return to regular activities.
Skin Rejuvenation & Pigment Removal
Chemical Skin Peels
NdYAG Skin Peel/ Pore Reduction, Pigmentation Removal and Tattoo Removal
The NdYAG laser in SPECTRA mode tightens skin and reduces pore size when used in conjunction with micronized carbon. Surface ablation in the Q-switched mode also improves the skin texture.
The NdYAG also targets pigmentation as liver spots on the face and around the eyes, and effectively ablates black ink and red tattoos by adjusting the laser wavelength.
Carbon Dioxide Laser
The Carbon Dioxide Laser is used to remove skin lesions as skin tags and keratoses, as well as discrete lesions where biopsy may be required.
With its specific handpiece, Fractional carbon dioxide laser can be delivered for wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation. It is also effective in reducing old acne scarring
Intense Pulsed Light Skin Rejuvenation Therapy
Ultrasonic Microdermabrasion and Sonophoresis
High frequency ultrasound energy at 25,000Hz provides for safe and effective microdermabrasion to remove the topmost layers of skin which dulls the complexion and facial features.
This may be followed on with active nutrient delivery to the skin using ultrasonic sonophoresis to restore and revive skin health.
Non-Surgical Facial Contouring & Tightening
Botox
Botox remains the most effective treatment to reduce dynamic skin creases like frown lines on the brow and crows’ feet around the eyes. Often used in conjunction with Injectable Fillers.
Botox also reduces prominent jawlines and effectively treats sweaty palms and armpits.
Micro-Botox
Micro-injections of Botox at superficial levels of the skin can selectively mobilise the superficial muscle of the neck (called the platysma) to lift neck skin.
Microbotox can also selectively tighten and lift facial skin when precisely injected at certain points.
In recalcitrant scars like keloids, microbotox can be combined with steroid injections to soften and flatten these scars.
Injectable Hyaluronic Acid Fillers for Skin Lifting and Facial Contouring
Modern Hyaluronic Acid fillers come in different densities and viscosities, and can restore volume, lift and pull facial skin very much like a facelift- without the surgical downtime.
We all lose facial fat as we age. Restoring the lost volume with fillers is the first step to facial rejuvenation.
Injected at specific points, fillers can enhance facial features like the cheekbones, nose, chin and jawline, or restore them to what they were before.
Bioengineered hyaluronic acid can be injected into the skin to strongly hydrate it and restore elasticity.
Dr Lim’s detailed understanding of facial anatomy in his training in Plastic Surgery ensures that all filler injections are done safely to minimise complications and downtime.

THERMAGE Non-Surgical Facelift
This minimal downtime, non-surgical face tightening/re-contouring procedure is a well-established treatment modality which tightens the skin in 3 dimensions to reduce skin sag and bring out facial contours to restore vitality and youthfulness to the face.
Also effective for the treatment of loose arm and tummy skin.
