Cambridge Therapeutics in Singapore is Not the Best Choice

It's only been a few months now so still too early to say anything about the results.

However i wanted to address something. I think someone left a comment on my previous post (she either deleted it or ceased her realself membership) about how she's torn. She really wants to try hifu but she saw all the flak it got. But she's still thinking about it.

Not sure if she'll read this, but my opinon is a resounding NO. And this is for everyone looking to try it but are unsure.

Everything in life carries risk, but this procedure is such a big irreversible risk that it's not worth it. The statistics of the bad far outweigh any good. Why would anyone still wish to try it after reading the stories of hundreds of pained and disfigured women? The worst thing is that you have to wait a year or two to declare 'yes it worked! no damage done!' or '[RS bleep] what the hell have i done to myself'.

So, No. Don't do it.

To all those who've just had ultherapy done and are [RS bleep] scared off the effects after reading the reviews here, don't be! There's nothing you can do to turn back time and worrying does you no good. Stay positive and just keep thinking "it won't happen to me!"

Take comfort in the fact that ultherapy has worked for many people and with no bad effects. Just like any other procedure, it will work for some and not for others. Also a lot of people are mentioning that the celebrities who've done it look weird and different. I disagree. Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston still look amazing. No celebrity has had reports of having fat melt off their faces. If there were we would have heard about it already. Unless of course they were lying about using ultherapy.

So stay strong, stay positive and believe wholeheartedly that it will not happen to you <3

This is more of a clinic and doctor review rather than a procedure review. Also one of my treatments was HIFU. It's basically ultherapy but HIFU is not part of the 'procedure type' list.
A few months ago in February i decided to go to Cambridge Therapeutics (Singapore) to try their v-line face treatments. Although Cambridge Therapeutics has very little reviews online, i decided to try it because a few high profile instragrammers and singapore bloggers were going there for treatments.
Before this visit and even as far back as last year, i did so much research on ultherapy and read all the horror stories. I vowed never to have it.
During my consultation with Dr Lee, i mentioned a few times that i had heard horror stories of ultherapy and thermage and how it can melt fat off your face. So knowing my fear, he decided to then recommend Hifu and his kinetic jet lift.
LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT HIFU IS THE SAME THING!!! IT'S ULTHERAPY UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME OR MACHINE WHATEVER!
I only realised this when i got home after treatments and did a bit of googling to see what results can be expected. I was really horrifed and i started panicking. How could i have let this escape me during my previous research??
The doctor might have been confident with his skills but he should have told me that HIFU is the same as ultherapy and at least leave me with the decision to try something else. In addition to that, while i was being prepped by his assistant, i asked her "This definitely does not use heat right?" And she said, yes it does not. Was it a lie or mere ignorance? Either way it's unacceptable especially if you're a doctor's assistant!
The icing on the cake was during the Jet Lift. I won't go into the science of it but basically it helps lift your face by placing high pressure energy all around your scalp and behind your ear area. After we were done and the doctor left the room, the assistant held up a mirror to let me see the effects. My face was definitely more tightened and shapely but one side was bigger than the other! So we had to call the doctor back in to even it out. How could this have escaped his attention? The fact that i, the patient, had to point this out was ridiculous. Yes since it was an evening apppointment he might have been tired and therefore a bit rushed and negligent BUT IT'S NO EXCUSE!! You're playing around with people's faces here. If you can't bloody handle the workload then lessen it or stop practicing altogether. This isn't an emergency room or hospital where they have to work really long hours to save lives. This is a cosmetic clinic. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
So that night after learning i had been given ultherapy i was so upset. In fact i was worried for weeks and weeks. For those online who had bad effects with ultherapy, some of them only started seeing the horrible effects after 3-6 months and some even a year! What the hell so i have to wait an entire year to see if something bad happens? I was so bloody angry. And the worse thing is that there was nothing i could do about it. Calling the doctor and complaining would not solve anything. There's no reverse procedure. I just had to try my best to stay positive.
This review is about Dr Lee and Cambridge Therapeutics and NOT about the results of the procedures. Because even if the results are amazing, i was still lied to and treated negligently. They also seem to keep pushing their hifu and jetlift package even though they do other face slimming stuff too so i'm guessing they have to pay off the debt of their machines.
I really don't understand some of these cosmetic doctors. Don't they know the huge responsibility on their shoulders? At the end of the day don't they want to pride themselves on a job well done? And most importantly, isn't care for your patients the top priority? Why would you purchase an ulthera or thermage machine even after a large amount of complaints all around the world. That shows that care for your patients is not a top priority at all.
It's all about the money. And destroying people's faces and lives in the process. Thanks a lot.
