Body Contouring Protocol
Guided Ultrasound for Deeper, More Compact Fat
SKINUSHAPE is SkinRev Lab's ultrasound body contouring protocol in Singapore, powered by guided ultrasound on the Alma PrimeX. Where heat-based treatments work from the surface down, SKINUSHAPE works mechanically — ultrasound waves selectively act on fat cells, which makes it well suited to deeper and more compact deposits that respond slowly to heat alone. No needles, no surgery, no downtime.
The Mechanism
SKINUSHAPE uses guided ultrasound delivered on the Alma PrimeX. The applicator directs focused acoustic waves into the tissue, where they act mechanically on adipose cells rather than simply heating them. That mechanical action is what allows the treatment to work on fat that sits deeper, or is more densely packed, than surface-directed treatments comfortably reach.
Because the effect is mechanical rather than thermal, some compact areas break down faster than they would with heat alone. Released contents are cleared gradually through the body's normal metabolic and lymphatic processes over the following weeks, which is why results build across a course rather than appearing overnight.
Choosing Between Them
We offer both because they reach different layers by different means. This is not a case of one being newer or better; it is a question of where your concern actually sits.
| SKINUSHAPE | SKINSHAPE | |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Guided ultrasound — Alma PrimeX | Second-generation microwave — Miglou |
| How it acts | Mechanically on adipose cells | Thermally — heats adipose tissue and dermis |
| Best suited to | Deeper, more compact fat that responds slowly to heat | Fat with accompanying skin laxity or cellulite |
| Also addresses | Contour and circumference | Skin tightening and cellulite in the same session |
| Speed on dense areas | Can break down faster in compact regions | Gradual, with added skin benefit |
| Price | $288 per zone · $88 first-timer | $288 per zone · $88 first-timer |
| Downtime | None | None |
Many clients use both across a course — SKINUSHAPE on deeper, compact areas and SKINSHAPE where skin quality and cellulite also need addressing. Because both are priced identically per zone, combining them does not complicate your planning. Read more about SKINSHAPE body contouring.
Comparison
These three approach fat reduction very differently — one mechanically, one by cooling, one by focused heat. SkinRev Lab offers guided ultrasound. We do not operate cryolipolysis fat freezing or HIFU, and the columns below are provided so you can compare honestly and decide what suits you, including if that is somewhere else.
| SKINUSHAPE — Guided Ultrasound | Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis) | HIFU | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Mechanical — acoustic waves act on fat cells | Cooling — fat cells crystallised by sustained low temperature | Focused ultrasound heat — thermal coagulation at depth |
| Energy type | Guided ultrasound, non-thermal action | Controlled cooling | High-intensity focused ultrasound (heat) |
| Applicator contact | Moved across the area — treats the zone evenly | Vacuum cup draws tissue in — treats the cup footprint | Transducer applied in a set pattern |
| Best suited to | Deeper, compact fat and contour shaping | Discrete pinchable bulges that fit an applicator | Skin tightening; some fat applications |
| Comfort | Warm, mildly buzzing | Intense cold then numbness; pulling sensation | Deep heat, can be sharp at depth |
| Downtime | None | None, but redness, numbness, swelling or tenderness for days to weeks is common | None to minimal; tenderness possible |
| Results timeline | Builds across a course as contents clear metabolically | Typically 8–12 weeks per cycle | Gradual over 2–3 months |
| Session structure | Per 15×15 cm zone, course recommended | Per applicator cycle, often 35–60 minutes | Per area, often a single or few sessions |
| Offered at SkinRev Lab | Yes — this is SKINUSHAPE | No | No |
Comfort, downtime and timeline figures for fat freezing and HIFU are typical published ranges and vary by device, operator and settings. No non-surgical fat reduction treatment is a substitute for weight management, and results vary between individuals.
Pricing
SKINUSHAPE is priced per treatment zone, where a zone is a 15×15 cm area per session. Pricing is flat at $288 per zone per session — the same rate as SKINSHAPE, so a combined course is straightforward to plan. New clients can try one zone of their choice at $88.
| Zone | Typically treats | Per session | First-timer promotion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abdomen | Deeper or more compact belly fat | $288 | $88 |
| Flanks / love handles | Dense waistline fat | $288 | $88 |
| Thighs | Inner or outer thigh, compact areas | $288 | $88 |
| Arms | Upper arm | $288 | $88 |
| Back | Bra line or upper back | $288 | $88 |
| Buttocks | Contour and shaping | $288 | $88 |
All prices in Singapore dollars and shown before GST. The first-timer promotion applies to one zone of your choice, once per new client, on your first session only; subsequent sessions are at the standard rate. Larger areas may require more than one zone — a full abdomen is usually two. A consultation determines how many zones and sessions your goals realistically call for.

SKINUSHAPE is our ultrasound body contouring protocol at SkinRev Lab, using guided ultrasound delivered on the Alma PrimeX platform. Rather than heating tissue, it works mechanically — ultrasound waves selectively act on fat cells to break them down, which is particularly useful for deeper and more compact fat deposits. Sessions are needle-free and non-surgical.
They target different layers and work by different mechanisms, which is why we offer both. SKINSHAPE uses Miglou second-generation microwave to break down adipose cells while also tightening loose skin and improving cellulite — it treats fat, skin and cellulite together. SKINUSHAPE uses guided ultrasound on the Alma PrimeX to reach deeper, more compact regions, where mechanical disruption can break fat down faster than heat alone. Your Aesthetic Specialist will assess which layer your concern sits in, and many clients use both across a course.
No. Guided ultrasound is delivered through a handpiece moved across the skin and most clients describe it as a warm, mildly buzzing sensation. There are no needles and no anaesthetic is required. Tell your Aesthetic Specialist at any point if you would like the intensity adjusted.
SKINUSHAPE is $288 per treatment zone per session before GST, where a zone is a 15×15 cm area — the same pricing structure as SKINSHAPE, so you can plan a combined course without surprises. New clients can try one zone of their choice at $88 as a first-timer promotion, once per new client on the first session only.
Body contouring is a course rather than a single treatment. Most clients are recommended a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with the number depending on the area, the depth of the fat and your goals. Your Aesthetic Specialist will map out a realistic plan at consultation, and will tell you honestly if fewer sessions would serve you just as well.
No downtime. The treated area may feel slightly warm or look mildly flushed immediately afterwards, and this settles quickly. You can return to normal activity the same day. We recommend drinking plenty of water after each session.
SKINUSHAPE is focused on fat reduction and contour rather than skin tightening. If loose or crepey skin is part of your concern, SKINSHAPE addresses fat, skin laxity and cellulite together, and SKINTIGHT resurfaces and firms the skin surface. We will tell you at consultation which combination suits your skin, rather than treating everything with one machine.
No. SkinRev Lab does not operate Onda Pro, HIFU or cryolipolysis fat freezing. We offer SKINUSHAPE (guided ultrasound) and SKINSHAPE (second-generation microwave). We include comparisons on this page so you can weigh the options honestly, including where another treatment might suit you better.
