Fat Reduction Singapore: SKINSHAPE Microwave Body Sculpting
Non-Surgical Fat Reduction, Lifting & Cellulite Treatment
SKINSHAPE is SkinRev Lab's non-surgical body contouring protocol in Singapore, powered by Miglou second-generation microwave technology — targeting stubborn fat, cellulite and skin laxity in one treatment. Delivers fat reduction, visible lifting and cellulite reduction across the abdomen, love handles, thighs and arms. No needles, no surgery, little to no downtime.
In short
Fat reduction in Singapore without surgery works on pinchable fat under the skin, not on deep visceral fat or body weight. At SkinRev Lab, CityLink Mall (City Hall), SKINSHAPE uses Miglou UHF microwave to warm the fat layer, at S$288 per 15 x 15 cm zone before GST, with about 30 minutes per zone and little downtime.

Body contouring in Singapore: what it is and what it costs
Body contouring means reshaping an area without surgery by reducing fat, firming loose skin or toning muscle. At SkinRev Lab, SKINSHAPE costs S$288 per 15 × 15 cm zone before GST. Your therapist maps the zones and agrees a course before you book. To compare SKINSHAPE with the other options, see body contouring treatment in Singapore. To compare fat reduction with muscle building and skin firming, see body sculpting Singapore.
| Goal | SkinRev option | Per session, before GST |
|---|---|---|
| Fat reduction: stubborn, pinchable fat | SKINSHAPE (microwave) or SKINUSHAPE (guided ultrasound) | S$288 per zone |
| Skin firming: loose or crepey skin | SKINTIGHT | S$588 per zone |
| Muscle toning: low muscle tone | SKINSCULPT (electromagnetic) | S$288 per region |
Does body contouring really work?
It can reduce a localised bulge and firm an area over a course of sessions, but it is not weight loss, and results vary from person to person. It works better on stubborn areas in people close to a stable weight.
What about CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a brand of fat freezing (cryolipolysis) offered at doctors' clinics in Singapore. SkinRev Lab does not use the CoolSculpting brand; Dr Sin Yong performs fat freezing there and at IN Eternity Clinic. For a doctor's view on medical fat reduction, see medical treatments by Dr Sin Yong.
Arms and thighs
Upper arms and inner thighs are two of the most-treated zones. These guides explain how to tell fat from loose skin and muscle: arm slimming in Singapore and thigh slimming in Singapore. To compare every option, see slimming treatments compared.

Advanced Body WAVE Engineering
SKINSHAPE is a non-surgical alternative to the surgical suite. Powered by Miglou second-generation microwave technology, the protocol delivers precisely controlled microwave energy into the fat layer — supporting gradual fat reduction without needles, and most clients find it comfortable.
Device specifications per manufacturer documentation, Miglou. Learn more on our Miglou technology page.
It penetrates deep into subcutaneous tissue layers to disrupt compact fat deposits and stimulate collagen renewal simultaneously. Unlike traditional liposuction which requires needles, incisions, and months of recovery — second-generation microwave technology does it without needles and without incisions.
Your Body Sculpting Blueprint
Bra Fat
The fat band along the bra strap — notoriously resistant to training. Microwave energy is directed into this fat layer.
Bat Wings (Arms)
Loose fat deposits along the tricep area. Contoured and tightened across a planned course.
Tummy
Subcutaneous abdominal fat treated at the foundational layer — for a flatter, firmer stomach profile.
Love Handles
Flanks re-contoured by disrupting compact fat deposits at the hip-waist transition.
Thighs
Inner and outer thigh profiles sculpted and skin tightened simultaneously — no liposuction required.
Buttocks
Gluteal region firmed and lifted naturally, producing an athletic shape without implants or surgery.
SKINSHAPE® — Key Facts
- Modality
- Second-generation UHF microwave, per Miglou manufacturer documentation. No needles, no incisions.
- UHF band
- 300 MHz to 3 GHz under the ITU designation — the frequency range microwave contouring devices operate within.
- Heating mechanism
- Dielectric heating. Microwave energy couples differently into water-poor adipose tissue than into the water-rich dermis above it.
- Treatment grid
- One zone = 15 × 15 cm. This is the grid convention used to price and compare microwave body contouring like for like.
- Energy per zone
- 100 kJ delivered per zone per session.
- Secondary target
- The fibrous septae — the connective tethers running through subcutaneous fat that produce the dimpled surface of cellulite.
- Body zones mapped
- Eight, including abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, bra line and buttocks.
- What it is not
- Not a weight-loss treatment. It changes the contour of a treated area; it does not target body weight.
“A contour and a number on a scale are two different things. SKINSHAPE® changes the first and makes no claim on the second — if weight is what you want to change, this is the wrong treatment and we will tell you so.”

| SKINSHAPE | Miglou UHF microwave warms the fat layer and the skin above it | Softer pinchable fat with mild laxity or cellulite | Yes, S$288 per 15 x 15 cm zone before GST |
| SKINUSHAPE | Guided ultrasound acts mechanically on fat cells | Deeper, more compact pockets | Yes, S$288 per zone before GST |
| Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) | Controlled cooling injures fat cells, cleared over weeks | Distinct pinchable bulges | Performed by Dr Sin Yong, priced at consultation; he usually recommends Time Freeze or VF Lift instead |
| Fat dissolving injections | Deoxycholic acid breaks down fat under the chin | Small areas, mainly under the chin | Not among the treatments listed |
| Liposuction | Surgical removal under anaesthesia | Larger volumes of fat | Not offered; referral for a surgical opinion |

Belly fat
How to lose stubborn belly fat in Singapore: where SKINSHAPE fits
Belly fat comes in two kinds. Visceral fat sits deep around the organs and responds to diet, exercise and sleep, not to any device; it is also the fat linked to health risk. Subcutaneous fat sits under the skin and can be pinched; this is what SKINSHAPE reduces, zone by zone, in people close to a stable weight.

SKINSHAPE FAQs
SKINSHAPE is SkinRev's non-invasive body contouring protocol designed to reduce stubborn, localised fat deposits and support skin tightening at the same time. Miglou UHF microwave energy is delivered into subcutaneous fat layers to act on fat cells — without needles or incisions, and with little to no downtime.
Unlike liposuction (surgical, requires anaesthesia, weeks of recovery) or Fat Freeze (which can cause paradoxical fat hyperplasia), SKINSHAPE is non-invasive, delivers a comfortable warming sensation, and results build gradually over a planned course — with little to no downtime.
Each SKINSHAPE session takes just 30 minutes per target zone — a length that fits a lunchtime appointment. Most people return to work straight after.
SKINSHAPE is $288 per treatment zone per session, where a zone is a 15×15 cm area treated at 100 kJ. Larger areas may need more than one zone — a full abdomen is usually two — and most clients are recommended a course, which your Aesthetic Therapist will map out at consultation.
Most clients find it comfortable. The protocol is needle-free. Clients typically describe a localised, comfortable warming sensation. There is little to no downtime — most people return to work straight after their session.
This is determined during your personalised baseline assessment. A course is planned at your assessment, and results build progressively across it. Individual results vary. Our team will map a precise protocol based on your target zones and structural profile.
At SkinRev Lab, SKINSHAPE is S$288 per 15 × 15 cm zone per session, before GST. A full abdomen is usually two zones, and your Aesthetic Therapist sets out the total before you book. Medical body contouring at clinics is usually priced per area or per cycle after a consultation.
For a pinchable layer of fat on the lower tummy or flanks, microwave contouring such as SKINSHAPE or ultrasound contouring such as SKINUSHAPE suits most people, and loose skin is treated separately with tightening. Fat deep inside the abdomen (visceral fat) does not respond to body contouring and needs diet, exercise and medical advice.
SKINSHAPE sessions are usually spaced a few weeks apart, as part of a course planned at your assessment. Each zone takes about 30 minutes, and most clients return to work the same day. Fat clearance happens over several weeks and collagen remodelling continues for up to three months after the final session, so progress is judged across the whole course rather than after one visit.
SKINSHAPE uses microwave energy to warm the fat layer and the skin above it, so it suits softer fat with mild laxity or cellulite, while SKINUSHAPE uses guided ultrasound that acts mechanically on fat cells and suits deeper, more compact pockets that respond slowly to heat. SKINUSHAPE does not tighten skin. Both are S$288 per 15 × 15 cm zone before GST.
Yes, and many plans combine it with another treatment, because fat, skin and muscle are separate layers. SKINSHAPE is often paired with SKINTIGHT where loose skin is part of the picture, since reducing volume without supporting the skin can make slackness more visible, or with SKINSCULPT where a soft fat layer sits over weak muscle. Your Aesthetic Therapist checks all three at assessment.
For fat under the chin, deoxycholic acid injections have good trial evidence, usually over two to four sessions, with swelling and tenderness for days to weeks. There are no large trials for the tummy, arms or thighs. Fat dissolving injections are not among the treatments listed at SkinRev Lab; see our fat dissolving injection page for the facts.
Doctors who offer them usually price by the amount of product and the number of sessions, so ask for the whole-course total. They are not among the treatments listed at SkinRev Lab or IN Eternity Clinic; for pinchable fat, SKINSHAPE is S$288 per zone before GST.
Liposuction is a contouring operation, not a weight-loss treatment; it removes fat from chosen areas, and the amount that can safely be removed is limited, so it does not replace weight loss. Liposuction is not offered at SkinRev Lab; Dr Sin Yong refers for a surgical opinion when it fits.
