The Time Freeze Laser LCLR® is Dr. Sin Yong's most celebrated proprietary treatment — a laser facelift protocol built on Laser Collagen Lipo Remodelling (LCLR®) technology developed exclusively through his clinical practice at Atelier Aesthetics. This is not a standard laser treatment. It is a precision physician-operated protocol that delivers immediate structural lifting, pigmentation correction and skin quality transformation in a single session — results that conventional devices cannot replicate.
What Makes LCLR® Different from Standard Lasers
Standard laser treatments deliver energy to relatively superficial skin layers. The depth of penetration is determined by the device, not the physician. LCLR® changes this. The protocol uses precisely calibrated laser energy that penetrates deep past the epidermis and upper dermis to reach the skin matrix — the structural layer where meaningful collagen stimulation produces visible architectural change.
When this layer is stimulated correctly, two things happen simultaneously: existing collagen fibres contract immediately, producing the same-day tightening patients observe before leaving the clinic — and new collagen synthesis is triggered, producing progressive improvement over the following 8–12 weeks. This dual-phase response is what allows the Time Freeze Laser LCLR® to produce results that patients typically associate with more invasive procedures.
Four Effects Delivered Simultaneously
The Time Freeze Laser LCLR® consistently produces four distinct outcomes from a single treatment. First, immediate structural tightening — visible lifting of jowls, nasolabial folds and jawline definition the same day. Second, pigmentation correction — the LCLR® protocol improves basement membrane strength in the dermis, reducing melasma and sun damage from below the surface. Third, skin texture improvement — a smoother, more refined skin surface with reduced pore visibility. And fourth, the baby skin effect — a flawlessly smooth, luminous skin texture that patients consistently describe as transformative.
What to Expect at Your Session
A Time Freeze Laser LCLR® session at Atelier Aesthetics takes 60–90 minutes and is performed by Dr. Sin Yong personally. No needles, no surgery, no anaesthesia are required. Patients typically feel a warm sensation during treatment and most return to normal activities the same day. Results are visible immediately. Collagen remodelling continues to develop over 8–12 weeks, with progressive improvement in firmness and skin quality beyond the initial same-day effect.

Most patients describe a warm or heating sensation during treatment. No anaesthesia or numbing cream is required. Dr. Sin Yong calibrates energy levels in real time based on each patient's individual tolerance and skin response.
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound at a fixed depth; Thermage uses radiofrequency in the dermis. Both target a single tissue layer. The Time Freeze Laser LCLR® penetrates to the skin matrix — addressing lifting, pigmentation and texture simultaneously — which single-modality devices cannot achieve.
This depends on your individual skin condition, degree of laxity and treatment goals, assessed at your private consultation with Dr. Sin Yong. Most patients see meaningful improvement from the first session, with a personalised programme recommended for optimal lasting results.
Downtime is minimal. Most patients return to normal daily activities the same day. Some temporary redness may be present for a few hours. Dr. Sin Yong will advise on specific aftercare at your session.
Patients with very active acne, recent significant sun exposure or certain photosensitising medications may need to defer treatment. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are contraindications. Dr. Sin Yong assesses all these factors at consultation before proceeding.
