Quick answer
- Miglou is a body-contouring device using ultra-high-frequency (UHF) microwave energy, focused toward a target depth, with cooling to protect the skin surface.
- At SkinRev Lab it powers SKINSHAPE, for clients with fat, loose skin and cellulite in the same area, such as abdomen, flanks, thighs or arms.
- Treatment is planned per 15 × 15 cm zone, so time depends on how many zones you treat; most clients go straight back to their day.
- Performed by our Aesthetic Therapists at SkinRev Lab, CityLink Mall #B1-28, linked underground to City Hall MRT.

What Miglou does
Miglou delivers microwave energy at ultra-high frequency into the tissue, where it gently induces vibration and generates controlled warmth at the target depth. That warmth does two things at once: it acts on fat, and it stimulates collagen for firmer, tighter skin. A cooling system runs throughout to protect the skin surface and keep the treatment comfortable.
The distinguishing feature is near-focusing technology. Rather than spreading energy broadly, Miglou concentrates it toward the depth where it is needed, which improves the efficiency of the microwave delivery and helps limit its effect on surrounding areas. In practical terms, more of the energy does useful work and less is wasted heating tissue that does not need it.
Because it addresses fat, skin firmness and cellulite in a single pass, Miglou suits treatment areas where more than one of those concerns is present together — which is how SKINSHAPE is designed to be used.
Miglou UHF vs conventional RF
Most non-invasive contouring devices use radiofrequency, which heats tissue by exploiting the difference in electrical impedance between skin and fat. Miglou takes a different route. Its manufacturer describes it as based on Ultra-High Frequency rather than conventional RF, which enables a more precise and efficient approach to delivering energy to the target depth. The near-focusing design is what makes that efficiency possible.
Technology descriptions here are drawn from the manufacturer’s published material. Individual results vary, and no non-invasive treatment is a substitute for a healthy diet and physical activity.
Comparison
Miglou vs Onda Pro
Onda Pro, by DEKA, is the microwave device most people have heard of, so it is the natural point of comparison. Both are microwave-based; the differences are in how the energy is generated and delivered. SkinRev Lab uses Miglou for SKINSHAPE; Onda Pro is a doctor-led treatment by Dr Sin Yong — the table is for comparison.
| Miglou | Onda Pro (DEKA) | |
|---|---|---|
| Energy type | Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) microwave | Coolwaves patented microwave |
| Delivery approach | Near-focusing technology concentrates energy toward the target depth for efficiency | Separate Deep and Shallow handpieces for different depths |
| What it targets | Fat, skin tightening and cellulite together | Localised fat, cellulite and skin tightening depending on handpiece |
| Skin protection | Integrated cooling | Cooling as part of the Coolwaves system |
| Positioning | A single delivery approach tuned for efficiency across areas | Two handpieces chosen by depth of the target |
| Available at SkinRev Lab | Yes — as SKINSHAPE | No |

Common questions about Miglou
What is Miglou?
Miglou is a body contouring device based on Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) microwave energy rather than conventional radiofrequency. It uses near-focusing technology to deliver energy efficiently to a target depth, generating controlled warmth that reduces fat and stimulates collagen while a cooling system protects the skin. At SkinRev Lab it is the technology behind the SKINSHAPE treatment.
How is Miglou different from radiofrequency?
Conventional RF heats tissue based on the difference in impedance between skin and fat. Miglou uses Ultra-High Frequency microwave energy with near-focusing technology, which its manufacturer describes as a more precise and efficient way to deliver energy to the target depth while minimising impact on surrounding tissue.
How does Miglou compare to Onda Pro?
Both are microwave-based body contouring technologies. Onda Pro (by DEKA) uses patented Coolwaves microwaves with separate Deep and Shallow handpieces. Miglou uses Ultra-High Frequency microwave energy with near-focusing technology to improve delivery efficiency. SkinRev Lab uses Miglou for its therapist-led SKINSHAPE treatment; Onda Pro is a separate doctor-led treatment, performed by Dr Sin Yong.
Which SkinRev treatment uses Miglou?
SKINSHAPE, our microwave body sculpting treatment, is delivered using Miglou technology. It targets fat, skin tightening and cellulite together, priced at $288 per 15 x 15 cm zone at 100 kJ per session.
