We all want Karlie Kloss’s jawline, but few of us have the discipline to apply firming cream every night. Our cheat move: getting souped-up facials that utilise technologies such as radio-frequency and ultrasound energy for lasting results.

IF YOU WANT A V-SHAPE FACE

Go for facials that include the use of radio-frequency energy to deliver heat deep into the skin to reportedly stimulate collagen production, get rid of water retention and reboot a sluggish lymphatic system. And the result you can expect? That coveted heart-shaped face and firmer, tighter skin.

Try: Deep Care Proionic Facial ($478 for 90min) at J’s Medispa, Level 3 Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore (tel: 6834-0012).

IF YOU WANT A FIRMER, PLUMPER VISAGE

Look to facials that utilise ultrasound energy, such as Ultherapy. In such facials, ultrasound waves are delivered deep into the skin at the optimal temperature to supposedly regenerate collagen, aid lymphatic drainage, improve blood circulation and plump sagging skin. Most people require just one session, but the downside is that the results are fully visible only three to six months post-treatment.

Try: Ultherapy (price available upon consultation) at Scinn Medical Centre, #05-22 Ngee Ann City Tower B (tel: 6235-8066).
