Journal

The printed volumes of Aesthetics International, the case series, the press coverage and the talks. Case discussion is how this practice talks about outcomes: Singapore's medical advertising guidelines rule out testimonials and before-and-after photographs, and they are followed in full.

The volumes

Seven printed volumes since the series began: each one a set of case discussions on a theme, written for patients and for the physicians who treat them. Volume 5 is published in English and Chinese; Volume 6 was printed with a women's and a men's cover; Volume 7 is the VF Lift – Vertical Facelift volume presented in Bangkok in 2026.

VF Lift – Vertical Facelift

The VF Lift – Vertical Facelift as a complete protocol: its three routes (lift, sculpt, restore), the areas it treats, what happens in a session, the common questions and how it compares with Ultherapy, Thermage, HIFU and surgery. Presented at the 7th CLASSYS APAC Symposium, Bangkok, 2026.

The printed volumes are available at consultation in Singapore and at the faculty events where they are presented. Case discussions in print describe method and reasoning with photographs shown under patient consent; in keeping with Singapore's medical advertising guidelines, those photographs are not reproduced online.

Case series

Acne scar reconstruction with the S3 protocol on the DEKA SmartXide Tetra CO₂ platform. A case series of 22 patients documenting multi-depth fractional CO₂ resurfacing combined with subcision in Fitzpatrick III–V skin, scored on the ECCA grading scale and prepared for publication in collaboration with DEKA's clinical team in Florence.

The S3 protocol — Stack, Scan, Sculpt — was shared at DEKA's Tetra Pro training in Singapore in October 2025 and discussed with the DEKA clinical team during the July 2026 exchange at IN Eternity Clinic.

Press

An appearance in print records that a question was asked. It is not evidence that the answer was right — the reference list underneath it is the part that can be checked.

Talks and films

Sixteen thousand kilometres to São Paulo: the VF Lift – Vertical Facelift and 4K Body Lift shared with CLASSYS Academy's own team, September 2026.

  • Why natural is technical, not a vibeNatural means movement preserved, proportions unchanged, no new shapes that weren't yours.
  • Why I turn patients away most weeksA no isn't a rejection — it's the part of the job you're actually paying for.
  • The one question to ask before any treatmentDoctor-led means the doctor holds the device.
  • HIFU vs radiofrequency — a KOL for both explainsThey don't do the same job.
  • What a thread lift can't doA thread repositions; it does not tighten skin. Laxity needs energy, not string.
