Did Sculptra at Cambridge Therapeutics with Dr Lee Mun Heng
Following up on my previous review, I fully feel that my Sculptra experience deserves a post on its own as well. I happened to chance upon this treatment by Dr Lee Mun Heng and his helpful staff at Cambridge Therapeutics while I was there for my HIFU facelifts.
While I was sitting in the waiting area, I overheard another patient’s conversation with the front desk staff. They were both in a very happy mood and it was mostly because the patient was super happy with the results she got from Sculpta. This started to make me curious about this new product (or maybe old, but I didn’t hear about it before), so I just asked Dr Lee Mun Heng about it while he was doing a consult for me.
As I’ve mentioned before, Dr Lee Mun Heng is very approachable and humble. This makes me a lot more willing to share the more sensitive details on my skin, lifestyle and habits. He is actually the main reason I keep coming back to Cambridge Therapeutics. There is totally no hardsell at all as he explained to me the pros and cons of Sculptra. I even found out he is the regional trainer for Sculptra (means all other doctors in Southeast Asia learn to do it properly from him!)
I have been travelling to various countries quite often in recent years. The climate in many of them was much colder and dryer than Singapore so my skin is much more aged and dry compared to before. One very clear and obvious effect is that my smile lines are now super visible! It was a clear sign of growing older that I did not like at all. Dr Lee Mun Heng had a quick look at my face and told me what he recommended then left me to make the decision. In fact, I’m surprised he even said there is no hurry because I was not in serious need of it yet!
Because of my good experience doing HIFU at Cambridge Therapeutics, and having already seen first-hand the powerful experience of the customer earlier on, I decided to give it a try as the price seemed very reasonable. I was quoted $1200 but its face lifting effect is very natural (caused by collagen stimulation) and has no downtime (YAY!).
On Treatment Day:
Treatment-wise, it is a very straightforward procedure as it is only an injection. However, the angle, amount and speed at which you inject can impact many things so I am glad to be in the official trainer’s good hands. I took a picture right after the treatment (see before and after above) and as you can see, there are 0 visible side effects and certainly no downtime too. In my opinion, this makes for the perfect lunchtime treatment as we can just do it and then go out for a meeting or appointment with friends. There is no strange sensation or feeling too after the treatment and I am told by Dr Lee Mun Heng to wait around 3 months to see full effects. But along the way, my skin will start to get better as the natural collagen takes effect to tighten and make it more radiant.
2 Weeks Later:
As you can easily see from the photo, my cheeks look a lot more rosy as the Sculptra effect starts to kick in. I can very very clearly feel the skin on my face is tighter now too. You can lightly poke or pinch your skin on the face to tell this effect. I now need not put on so much makeup and generally look younger on the whole, while still looking very natural.
Final Verdict:
Pros – Look younger but effects are very natural, no downtime, no pain, no side effects, Dr Lee Mun Heng is the trainer and best at doing Sculptra, Cambridge Therapeutics is one of the most comfortable clinics around with no hard sells
Cons – As always, I think people will prefer things to take effect faster. Sculptra takes months to see full results. Price can be cheaper. It is much better than Botox and Fillers but also more costly. It is 100% worth it but I guess it is not wrong to wish for better prices.

cheeks more plumped and softer laugh lines
sorry to take so long to update. I've since completed my hifu package. Just compared my cheeks and laugh lines to last year's photos and am happy to say its a BIG improvement. I loveee the new me!
HIfu works very well for me
These are my before after pictures showing the gradual progressive improvements I've had with HIFU. I'm sharing this so that EVERYONE will know that the HIFU I've had is gentle. It is simply ridiculous how it can possibly burn your tissues off. This is MY experience. The treatment lifted my cheeks and my laugh lines improved.
Provider Review
Dr Lee Mun Heng
I find Dr Lee to be very patient and honest doctor. He didn't try to upsell me anything I did not need and in fact discouraged me from doing some treatments because he didn't think those were suitable for me. I would recommend a consultation with him because he answered all my questions and spent time to explain the pros and cons of each treatment.
