Time Freeze Laser LCLR®

The Time Freeze Laser LCLR® is a face and body protocol developed by Dr Sin Yong in Singapore, delivered with Long-pulsed 755 nm alexandrite / 1064 nm Nd:YAG, and used for jowls and nasolabial folds, upper eyelid and brow, under-eye and more.

LCLR® stands for Laser Collagen Lipo Remodelling: a scanning laser protocol that delivers controlled bulk heating across a treatment zone, combining collagen contraction during the session with progressive new collagen over the following weeks — and, where it is wanted, remodelling of unwanted fat and fibrous tissue.

Dual wavelengths reach different depths. The protocol scans a broader zone than a point treatment, which is what allows it to address laxity across the lower face and neck, and on the body, in a single framework.

It is also the protocol Dr Sin Yong uses to remodel over-stimulated collagen after biostimulatory injectables — mapped by ultrasound, because a collagen stimulator cannot be dissolved; it has to be remodelled.

• Jowls and nasolabial folds
• Upper eyelid and brow
• Under-eye
• Neck
• Underarms, tummy, thighs and back
• Over-stimulated collagen after Ellansé, Sculptra and similar agents

Course and recovery

Numbing cream is applied; most patients describe warmth, and redness afterwards is usually brief. The response builds over two to three months. It is not appropriate for pronounced laxity where a surgical facelift would be the more effective option.
