About This Treatment

Svelte Touch is a non-surgical lifting and skin-tightening treatment on HIRONIC's platform that delivers radiofrequency and ultrasound at the same time: radiofrequency warms the deeper skin to stimulate collagen, while ultrasound reaches the deeper support layers. It is used on jowls, nasolabial folds, the double chin, the eye area and the body, calibrated after assessment.

Key takeaways
  • Svelte Touch is a non-surgical lifting and firming treatment delivering radiofrequency and ultrasound together on HIRONIC's platform.
  • It is used for early to moderate laxity of the jowls, folds, under-chin, eye area and body.
  • Suitability depends on the degree of laxity, the area, skin type and medical history, all assessed before the settings are chosen.
  • It cannot replace a facelift or reposition heavy skin excess; those cases are referred for surgical assessment.
  • Dr Sin Yong, an aesthetic physician, assesses and performs every treatment personally.

Svelte Touch — Radiofrequency and Ultrasound, Delivered Together

Svelte Touch is a non-surgical lifting, firming and skin tightening treatment in Singapore that uses two energies at once. Radiofrequency warms the deeper skin to contract existing tissue and stimulate fresh collagen, while ultrasound reaches the deeper support layers to lift. Delivered together in the same session, they work in a way that neither energy achieves alone — lifting descended tissue while firming the skin above it. This dual-energy approach is delivered on HIRONIC’s aesthetic platform.

On the face, Svelte Touch is well suited to sagging jowls, deepening nasolabial folds, a softening jawline and a fuller double chin. Around the eyes it can refine puffy eye bags and help support droopy upper lids. The same dual-energy approach extends to the body — firming and contouring the tummy, love handles, underarms, thighs and buttocks.

There is no fixed, one-size protocol. Dr Sin Yong assesses each patient and calibrates the treatment to the areas that need lifting, firming or collagen support — with no surgery and no injectables.

What Svelte Touch Does

01
Lift the Lower Face
For sagging jowls, deepening nasolabial folds, a blurred jawline and a heavy double chin, Svelte Touch directs radiofrequency and ultrasound to the deeper support layers to re-elevate descended tissue and firm the skin along the jawline — restoring a cleaner, more defined lower face — a non-surgical facelift approach to jowls, jawline and double chin reduction.
02
Refine the Eye Area
Around the eyes, gentle calibrated energy helps reduce puffy lower eye bags and firm the skin that supports droopy upper lids, opening and refreshing the eye area without surgery.
03
Stimulate Collagen From Within
Beyond the immediate firming, the warming action prompts the skin to produce fresh collagen over the following weeks. The result builds gradually and looks like your own skin, simply firmer and better supported.
04
Firm and Contour the Body
The same dual-energy approach is used on the body — tightening loose skin and refining contour on the tummy, love handles, underarms, thighs and buttocks. Areas are chosen and calibrated to what each body needs.
05
Gradual Change, Recovery Assessed
Collagen-related change continues over the following weeks, and maintenance is discussed at review. Recovery depends on the settings and area, and is discussed at consultation.

Svelte Touch on the Body

The lifting and firming approach used on the face extends to the body as a non-surgical body contouring option in Singapore, for areas where skin has loosened or contour has softened. Areas are chosen and calibrated to what each body needs.

Tummy
Firms loose skin and refines the contour of the abdomen, including after weight change or pregnancy.
Love Handles
Tightens the flanks and waistline to smooth and define the side profile.
Underarms
Firms crepey or loose skin along the upper arms and underarm area.
Thighs
Tightens loose skin on the inner and outer thighs and refines surface texture.
Buttocks
Lifts and firms the skin over the buttocks for a smoother, more supported contour.

Who it suits, who should wait, who is referred on

Tends to suit

  • Early to moderate laxity of the jowls or lower face
  • A softening jawline or looseness under the chin
  • Loose skin on the tummy, flanks, arms or thighs
  • People who prefer a non-surgical approach without needles or threads

Better to wait

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Active skin infection or inflammation in the area
  • Expecting the lift that surgery gives

Referred on

  • Heavy skin excess → surgical assessment
  • Unexplained swelling or skin change in the area → medical review
Who should not have this treatment
  • Pregnancy
  • Active infection or open wounds in the treatment area
  • Implanted electronic devices such as a pacemaker
  • Metal implants in or near the area, which may need adjustment or make treatment unsuitable
  • Undiagnosed lumps or skin lesions in the area
  • Medical conditions identified at consultation that make energy treatment inappropriate

People with heavy skin excess or marked sagging, or who expect the lift that surgery gives, tend to respond poorly, and surgery is the better tool for them.

What happens, step by step

  1. Consultation and examination of the areas, skin type and degree of laxity
  2. Written plan and quote, including whether treatment is advised
  3. Treatment day: radiofrequency and ultrasound delivered zone by zone at calibrated settings
  4. Review and adjustment, with maintenance discussed if appropriate

Risks, side effects and when to call

Warmth, redness and mild tenderness in the treated area are expected effects, and they usually settle without intervention. Less commonly, energy-based treatment can cause swelling, a blister or burn, temporary numbness or altered sensation, or an uneven tissue response, particularly if settings are too high for the area. Assessment, careful calibration and honest selection of suitable patients reduce these risks but cannot rule them out. Recovery depends on the settings and the area and is discussed at consultation. Response varies between individuals and no outcome can be promised.

Contact the clinic the same day if
  • Blistering, broken skin or a burn-like area
  • Pain or swelling that is increasing rather than settling
  • Numbness or altered sensation that persists
  • Spreading redness, warmth or discharge
  • Hardness or lumps developing under the skin

See what to do if something feels wrong after a treatment.

Aftercare

First 24 hours

  • Expect warmth or mild redness; cool the area gently and avoid saunas or very hot showers
  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area

First week

  • Keep the skin moisturised and use gentle products
  • Avoid strenuous exercise or vigorous massage over the area if advised at consultation

Sun

  • Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and avoid deliberate tanning

Skincare

  • Pause retinoids, acids and exfoliants until you are advised to resume them

When to call

  • Blistering, a burn-like area or broken skin
  • Persistent numbness, increasing pain, or spreading redness or swelling

Before you book

  • Declare all medications, including blood thinners, recent isotretinoin and any steroid use
  • Tell the clinic about implants, a pacemaker, metal in the body, or previous fillers or threads in the area
  • Avoid tanning and strong sun exposure beforehand, and mention any recent sunburn
  • Say if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Pause strong skincare actives if advised, and bring photos or records of any previous treatment to the area

What determines the fee

The fee depends on the area treated, since a jawline is planned differently to a tummy or thighs, and on how many zones are included. It also reflects the settings and consumables chosen after assessment, and whether Svelte Touch is combined with another treatment. A written quote is given at consultation once Dr Sin Yong has examined you. The consultation also decides whether treatment is advised at all, so no figure can responsibly be given beforehand.

How quotes work at this practice: how we quote.

Myths we hear in clinic

“Svelte Touch gives the same lift as a surgical facelift.”

It firms and supports early to moderate laxity but cannot reposition tissue the way surgery does.

“Energy-based body contouring is a weight-loss treatment.”

It addresses skin looseness and contour in chosen areas; it is not weight loss and does not replace diet or exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Svelte Touch suitable for me?+

Svelte Touch suits people with early to moderate skin laxity on the face or body who prefer a non-surgical approach. Suitability, skin type and goals are assessed by Dr Sin Yong at consultation.

How does Svelte Touch feel during treatment?+

Most people describe a warming sensation as the energy is delivered, which is generally well tolerated. Comfort settings are adjusted to the area and to you.

When will I see results from Svelte Touch?+

Some firming can be felt early as tissue responds, while the fuller effect develops over the following weeks and months as collagen renews. A course is often planned to build the result gradually.

Can Svelte Touch treat a double chin?+

Yes — the under-chin and jawline are among the common facial areas treated, where the aim is a firmer, cleaner lower-face contour without surgery.

Can Svelte Touch be used on the tummy after pregnancy?+

The body applications include the tummy and flanks, and it is commonly considered for post-pregnancy skin looseness once the area has healed. Timing and suitability are assessed at consultation.

Is there anyone who should not have Svelte Touch?+

As with any energy-based treatment, certain conditions, implants or pregnancy may make it unsuitable or require adjustment. Dr Sin Yong reviews your medical background at consultation to confirm it is appropriate.

How is Svelte Touch different from a thread lift?+

A thread lift uses inserted sutures to reposition tissue; Svelte Touch combines radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to firm and lift without needles or threads. The right option depends on your skin and goals, which Dr Sin Yong discusses at consultation.

What is Svelte Touch?+
Svelte Touch is a non-surgical lifting and firming treatment that delivers radiofrequency and ultrasound energy at the same time. Together they lift descended tissue, firm the skin and stimulate the skin’s own collagen — on both the face and the body.
How do radiofrequency and ultrasound work together?+
Radiofrequency warms the deeper skin to contract tissue and prompt new collagen, while ultrasound reaches the deeper support layers to lift. Delivered in the same session, the two energies complement each other — lifting from below while firming the skin above.
What areas of the face can Svelte Touch treat?+
On the face, Svelte Touch is well suited to sagging jowls, deepening nasolabial folds, a softening jawline and a double chin. Around the eyes it can help reduce puffy lower eye bags and support droopy upper lids.
Can Svelte Touch be used on the body?+
Yes. The same dual-energy approach firms and refines the tummy, love handles, underarms, thighs and buttocks, tightening loose skin and improving contour. Dr Sin Yong selects and calibrates the areas at your assessment.
Is Svelte Touch a substitute for a facelift or surgery?+
For mild to moderate laxity it offers a non-surgical alternative to lift and firm without incisions. Pronounced laxity with a lot of excess skin may still be better suited to surgery, and Dr Sin Yong will advise honestly at consultation.
Is there any downtime?+
Recovery depends on the settings and area, and is discussed at consultation. Collagen-related change continues over the following weeks.
How many sessions are needed?+
This depends on the area and the degree of laxity. Dr Sin Yong designs the plan for each patient at the consultation and advises how many sessions and what maintenance are realistic for the result you want.
How much does Svelte Touch cost in Singapore?+
The cost of Svelte Touch in Singapore depends on the area treated, the number of zones, the settings and consumables chosen, and whether it is combined with another treatment. Dr Sin Yong gives a written quote at consultation after examining you, because the assessment decides whether treatment is advised at all. No figure is quoted beforehand, as it would not reflect your presentation.
Is Svelte Touch worth it?+
Svelte Touch is worth considering for people with early to moderate laxity who want a non-surgical option and accept that change builds gradually and varies between individuals. It is a poor fit for heavy skin excess, marked sagging or a goal that only surgery can meet, where a surgical route is the more appropriate one. Consultation clarifies which group you belong to.
How long does Svelte Touch last?+
How long Svelte Touch lasts depends on your starting laxity, age, skin quality, the area treated, weight changes, sun exposure and how the settings were calibrated. Ageing continues after treatment, so no duration can be promised. Review timing, and whether maintenance is sensible, are decided with Dr Sin Yong at consultation and reassessed as your skin responds.
What are the disadvantages of Svelte Touch?+
Change is gradual and varies between people, and it will not lift heavy skin excess the way surgery can. Warmth, redness and tenderness are expected; swelling, altered sensation or, uncommonly, a burn are possible. Maintenance may be needed as ageing continues, and treatment is unsuitable in pregnancy or with certain implants. These points are reviewed honestly at consultation.
