How to Choose the Best Ultherapy Clinic in Singapore: A Doctor’s Guide

Choosing an Ultherapy Clinic? Here’s What to Know.

Ultherapy treatment is a highly effective, non-invasive skin lifting treatment—but only when performed correctly.

Unfortunately, in Singapore and beyond, there are clinics offering lookalike procedures using unbranded or uncertified devices. Others may perform Ultherapy without ultrasound imaging or medical oversight.

To ensure your safety, comfort, and results, here’s what you need to look for—plus why VIDASKIN Clinic is one of Singapore’s most trusted providers.

1. Choose a Clinic with the Genuine Ultherapy Device

Ultherapy is a registered trademark of Merz Aesthetics and is the only US FDA-cleared microfocused ultrasound treatment for lifting and tightening the skin.

Watch out for:

  • Copycat treatments marketed as “Ultherapy-like” or “HIFU facelift”
  • Suspiciously low pricing
  • Clinics unable to show a genuine Ultherapy machine

What to ask:

“Do you use the original Ultherapy device by Merz with real-time ultrasound imaging?”

At VIDASKIN, we use only authentic Ultherapy PRIME technology, with serial numbers registered and traceable by Merz.

2. 👩‍⚕️ Look for a Doctor-Led Clinic

Ultherapy is technique-sensitive—meaning your results depend heavily on who is doing the treatment.

A doctor-led clinic ensures:

  • Your treatment is performed by a medically trained aesthetic doctor
  • Proper diagnosis and planning using facial anatomy and clinical judgement
  • Safer outcomes with appropriate follow-up care

At VIDASKIN, all Ultherapy sessions are performed by doctors—not therapists or technicians.

3. 🧠 Check for Training Credentials & Clinical Experience

Clinics that train other doctors are generally ahead in both experience and standards.

VIDASKIN’s credentials:

  • 🥇 Ultherapy Gold Award – among top-performing clinics globally
  • 👩‍⚕️ Official Ultherapy Training Centre in Singapore
  • 🇸🇬 First clinic in Singapore to offer Ultherapy PRIME
  • 🧬 Extensive use of See Plan Treat Protocol for precision

Our doctors also lecture and lead workshops on Ultherapy protocols in the region.

4. 🎯 Ask If They Use the See Plan Treat Protocol

This advanced method uses real-time ultrasound imaging to:

  • Visualise your skin’s unique anatomy
  • Identify where energy should (and should not) be delivered
  • Plan and treat with precision and safety

This protocol ensures that energy reaches collagen-rich layers while avoiding sensitive structures like nerves or vessels.

Clinics not using this may be “treating blind.”

5. 📍 Consider the Clinic Environment and Ethics

A quality clinic should reflect not just technical expertise, but:

  • A comfortable, clean, and calming environment
  • Transparent, ethical communication
  • Respect for medical advertising guidelines (no false claims or unapproved before/after images)

VIDASKIN is known for its warm professionalism, elegant clinic space, and patient-first approach—especially appreciated by professionals, homemakers, and those new to aesthetic treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Ultherapy offered at beauty salons or medi-spas safe?
A: Only doctor-led clinics with genuine Ultherapy devices should perform this treatment. Uncertified providers may use unsafe energy levels or treat the wrong layers.

Q: Why does the price vary so much between clinics?
A: True Ultherapy costs more because it uses:

  • FDA-cleared technology
  • Doctor-administered treatment
  • Imaging protocols and medical-grade standards
    Lower-cost options may cut corners with unauthorised devices.

A: Absolutely. Reputable clinics will gladly show the Ultherapy system, imaging screen, and Merz certifications.
