The VF Lift – Vertical Facelift is Dr. Sin Yong's perfected signature non-surgical facelift protocol. The key insight that defines it is this: facial ageing happens at every tissue depth simultaneously. Treating only one depth — as Ultherapy, Thermage or any single device does — leaves all others unchanged. The VF Lift addresses multiple tissue layers simultaneously, producing synergistic results that no single-modality treatment can replicate.
Why Single-Modality Devices Fall Short
Ultherapy targets the SMAS layer at 4.5mm depth. Thermage targets the dermis at 1–3mm. Each addresses its specific depth well — but neither addresses the other. Facial sagging involves SMAS descent, dermal laxity, fat redistribution and surface skin quality loss simultaneously. A protocol that only tightens the SMAS will lift but leave dermal laxity and surface quality unchanged. The VF Lift – Vertical Facelift addresses every depth in a single coordinated protocol — producing synergistic results across all tissue layers.
Tailored to Your Individual Anatomy
No two faces age the same way. The VF Lift – Vertical Facelift is individually tailored to each patient's facial anatomy, tissue thickness, fat distribution and specific pattern of descent. Energy levels, treatment depths and target zones are customised at every session based on Dr. Sin Yong's real-time clinical assessment — not pre-set device parameters. This physician-controlled approach is the fundamental difference from standardised device protocols.
Ideal Candidates
The VF Lift – Vertical Facelift is particularly suited for patients with mild to moderate multi-layer facial sagging — jowls, loss of jawline definition, double chin, drooping eyelids and mid-face descent. It is also considered for patients who have tried Ultherapy or Thermage and want a different approach, particularly where laxity involves more than one tissue layer.

Ultherapy is designed to work at the SMAS layer and Thermage in the dermis. The VF Lift – Vertical Facelift addresses multiple tissue depths simultaneously in a single coordinated protocol, producing more comprehensive lifting and tightening than either device achieves alone.
Results are visible from the first session. Collagen remodelling continues to develop over the following 8–12 weeks, with progressive improvement beyond the initial same-day effect.
The VF Lift – Vertical Facelift is designed for patient comfort. Most patients describe a warming sensation. No anaesthesia is required. Dr. Sin Yong adjusts energy settings in real time based on patient feedback.
Yes — the VF Lift – Vertical Facelift is frequently combined with the Time Freeze Laser LCLR® for enhanced multi-level results, or with the RVR ProLift for additional structural definition. Dr. Sin Yong will recommend the optimal combination at your consultation.
Those with mild to moderate multi-layer facial sagging — jowls, double chin, loss of jawline, drooping eyelids — who want natural-looking results without surgery. A consultation with Dr. Sin Yong is required to confirm suitability.
