The Next Wave in ANTI AEGING Treatments
Prolific plastic surgeon, Dr Woffles Wu, shares with us his favourite aesthetic methods.

What is your take on where anti-
ageing treatments are headed?


 

It’s an instant world now and everyone wants results quickly. They also don’t want scars and prefer to be able to go back to work immediately, that’s why non-invasive treatments are becoming very popular.

With the trend towards less-
invasive facial rejuvenation, what
are some of the popular
treatments at your clinic?


 

 


My Woffles Lift, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, is still one of the top procedures at my clinic. My patients prefer this to an actual facelift which requires them to be cut up. The results are great and they just have to do it every two or three years to maintain their look. Another popular anti-ageing treatment is the Indiba Therapy. This is a monopolar radiofrequency device that generates heat internally to precisely target skin to tighten it up. It improves skin elasticity and water retention, resulting in a rejuvenated, supple and soft skin. As the skin regenerates collagen, it will also decrease pore size and the depth of acne scars. I have patients who love Indiba Therapy and have been doing it for years!

You are the pioneer of Indiba Therapy in South East Asia, can you
tell us more about this innovative technology?

 

I’ve been using Indiba since 2003 and have two machines in my clinic. I was introduced to it by my friend in Japan. Indiba Therapy is a very popular procedure in Europe, Japan and Korea. Interestingly, Indiba actually started out as a health machine to soothe aches, sprains, joint disorders and back pain with its thermal therapy. Thanks to its good results, safe and non-invasive procedure, it is now very popular for aesthetic purposes, besides pain management and physiotherapy.

Besides firming the face, what else can Indiba be used for?

Indiba is also very effective in treating cellulite as the heat breaks up the fibrous tissues that cause the skin dimpling condition. At my clinic, we use a proprietary technique designed by me to treat the buttocks and thighs to decrease its cellulitic appearance. I also use Indiba as a post-treatment for my liposuction patients to firm their skin.

How fast are results seen and who is suitable for Indiba?


Results for the face can be seen immediately after one treatment. You will notice that your face will look more supple and firm. For the body, one or two sessions are required before you can see any improvement for cellulite. Ideally, it will be great to do Indiba weekly, if not once every two months is also fine. Indiba is a very relaxing treatment which can last between 15 minutes to one hour and is suitable for everyone.
