	Dr Lee Su Lan joined forces with an aspiring group of doctors in October 2005 to form the Singapore Society of Aesthetic Medicine. One of the main aims of the Society is to facilitate the development of Aesthetic Medicine in Singapore and fellowship of Aesthetic doctors in Singapore and the region. In November 2006, the Society conducted a very successful congress which was attended by more than 500 delegates.

	THERMAGE - NON SURGICAL FACE LIFT
	The Thermage procedure employs a patented radio frequency (RF) technology called ThermaCool. It has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours. The incision-free procedure is fast and easy, and requires no downtime from normal activities. Unlike lasers, the procedure can be performed on patients of all skin types. The ThermaCool device uses a sophisticated treatment tip called ThermaTip which delivers a controlled amount of RF energy. With each touch to the skin, the ThermaTip device uniformly heats a large volume of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin and its underlying tissue while simultaneously protecting the outer layer of the skin with cooling. This deep uniform heating action causes deep structures in the skin to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodelled collagen is produced to further tighten skin, resulting in healthier, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. With each touch of the ThermaTip device, the patient will experience a brief, deep heating sensation as the RF energy is delivered to the skin and underlying tissue. This deep heating sensation is an indication that collagen is reaching effective temperatures for tightening. The physician controls the amount of energy delivered to balance procedural comfort with maximum results. The ThermalTip device is cooled before, during and after heating to protect skin and make the treatment more comfortable. Prior to treatment, an anaesthetic cream may be applied to enhance comfort. Additionally, the physician may also prescribe relaxants and/or pain medication. Recently published studies conducted by Thermage show that measurable tightening improvements appear gradually over 2 - 6 months after a single treatment session. However, many patients have reported seeing an earlier response. Unlike many laser procedures requiring four or more sessions, a single Thermage treatment has produced results in the majority of patients. The Thermage procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Additional time may be required for skin preparation prior to the procedure. Immediately following a Thermage procedure, skin should feel tighter smoother and more youthful. Over time, the patient will notice additional tightening. Unpublished reports by experienced cosmetic physicians indicate that results may last 24 months or longer based on the patient’s natural ageing process.
