Body Shaping · Singapore
Non-invasive body contouring — results that show.
Miglou (Hironic) and Alma PrimeX Ultrawave — two advanced non-invasive body shaping platforms. No surgery. No anaesthesia. No downtime.
The approach
Energy-based fat reduction with simultaneous skin tightening
Modern body shaping uses targeted energy — microwave, ultrasound, or radiofrequency — to selectively disrupt fat cells at precise tissue depths while simultaneously stimulating collagen and tightening skin. This is a significant advance over traditional fat freeze (cryolipolysis) treatments in Singapore, which provide no skin tightening and carry a small risk of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH). For patients searching for non-surgical fat reduction in Singapore — whether for stubborn belly fat, love handles, inner thighs, or a double chin — these energy-based platforms offer a safer, more comprehensive alternative to CoolSculpting.
Dr Mavis Pak uses two complementary devices that together address fat reduction, skin laxity, and contouring in a personalised, layered approach. Both are non-invasive and require no downtime.
Device 1 — Hironic
Miglou — 2.45GHz microwave energy
Hironic · 2.45GHz Microwave Energy Platform
Miglou
Miglou delivers 2.45GHz microwave energy to selectively disrupt subcutaneous fat cells while tightening the overlying skin. The microwave frequency targets fat tissue specifically, leaving surrounding structures intact. Similar in principle to the ONDA Coolwave platform.
Unlike cryolipolysis, Miglou does not freeze tissue and carries no risk of PAH — the rare but serious CoolSculpting complication where fat grows rather than reduces.
- Selective fat disruption via 2.45GHz microwave energy
- Simultaneous dermal and subdermal skin tightening
- Treats abdomen, flanks, inner/outer thighs, arms, bra fat
- No anaesthesia, no incisions, no downtime
- Results visible from 4–8 weeks, optimal at 3 months
Device 2 — Alma Lasers
Alma PrimeX Ultrawave — focused ultrasound + RF
Alma Lasers · Multi-application Platform
Alma PrimeX Ultrawave
The Alma PrimeX combines high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with radiofrequency (RF) energy. Focused ultrasound disrupts fat at precise subcutaneous depths, while RF simultaneously tightens the overlying skin — two mechanisms of action in one comfortable session.
Particularly effective where both localised fat and skin laxity coexist — a common combination that single-technology devices cannot fully address.
- High-intensity focused ultrasound for precise deep fat disruption
- RF energy for simultaneous skin tightening
- Abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, submental (double chin)
- Comfortable, non-invasive, no downtime
- Frequently combined with Miglou for comprehensive results
Comparison
How these compare to fat freezing
| Feature | Miglou | Alma PrimeX Ultrawave | Fat Freezing (CoolSculpting) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | 2.45GHz microwave | Focused ultrasound + RF | Cryolipolysis |
| Skin tightening | ✓ Simultaneous | ✓ Simultaneous | ✗ None |
| PAH risk | ✓ None | ✓ None | ⚠ Small risk |
| Downtime | None | None | Minimal |
| Comfort | High | High | Moderate |
Who is it suitable for?
Is body shaping right for you?
Best for patients near their target weight with stubborn localised fat. A contouring tool, not a weight loss treatment — works best as refinement rather than primary fat reduction.
Stubborn belly fat, love handles, or thigh fat that hasn't responded to diet and exercise
Mild to moderate skin laxity alongside localised fat
Post-pregnancy body refinement
Results without surgery, needles, or time off work
Previous CoolSculpting concerns, or looking for an alternative
Double chin reduction without surgery
Post-weight loss body refinement where skin laxity and residual fat coexist
What results to expect
Realistic outcomes
Results develop gradually over weeks to months as the body processes disrupted fat cells and new collagen forms. A course of sessions is required for meaningful results.
Important: Body shaping is a contouring tool, not a weight loss treatment. Results are best maintained with a stable weight. Dr Mavis Pak will set honest expectations at your consultation.
