Dr Sin Yong joined an elite panel of Asia-Pacific aesthetic leaders at the 7th CLASSYS APAC Symposium 2026 in Bangkok — presenting on the science of the Non-Surgical Vertical Facelift, engaging in live panel discussion, and receiving a CLASSYS International Key Opinion Leader Award on the main stage.
Panel Discussion on stage — CLASSYS APAC Symposium 2026, Bangkok. Moderated by Dr Dongwoo Shin.
An International Stage for Singapore Aesthetic Medicine
The CLASSYS APAC Symposium is one of the most prestigious annual gatherings in the Asia-Pacific aesthetic medicine calendar, bringing together leading dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and aesthetic physicians from across the region to share clinical insights, device innovations, and real-world patient outcomes.
The 7th edition, held in Bangkok under the theme "Expanding Possibilities in Medical Aesthetics," drew KOLs from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia — with a programme spanning device lectures, live demonstrations, and an in-depth panel discussion.

Presenting: Volnewmer — The Non-Surgical VF Lift
Dr Sin Yong's credentials and lecture title projected on the main stage screen during his presentation.
Dr Sin Yong's lecture focused on CLASSYS's Volnewmer platform and its application in the Vertical Facelift (VF Lift) — a non-surgical protocol designed to address three distinct concerns simultaneously:
"The VF Lift is not simply tightening. It is about lifting what has descended, reducing what has become puffy, and restoring what has become hollow — all within a single, non-surgical framework."
The Three Outcomes of the VF Lift
Lift — targeting SMAS laxity and fascial descent that causes jowling, midface drop, and loss of jawline definition.
Reduce — addressing puffiness and excess volume in the lower face and submandibular zone.
Restore — stimulating adipose stem cell activity and neo-collagenesis to rebuild volume in the hollow temple, cheek, and periorbital zones.
The Panel Discussion

Following the device lectures, Dr Sin Yong joined the full panel discussion — moderated by Dr Dongwoo Shin — alongside an international faculty spanning multiple countries and specialties:
- Dr Dongwoo Shin — Moderator
- Dr Akiko Imaizumi — Japan
- Dr Bey-Leei Ling — Malaysia
- Dr Nititam Ratkasikon — Thailand
- Dr Jessica Angelina — Indonesia
- Dr Jong Seo Kim — South Korea
- Dr Sin Yong — Singapore
- Dr Davin Lim — Australia
Discussion topics ranged from patient selection criteria for non-surgical lifting procedures, combination protocols using HIFU and HIFEM technologies, and the evolving expectations of Asian patients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery or downtime.
The Award Ceremony
At the close of the evening, CLASSYS honoured its regional Key Opinion Leaders with formal awards on the main stage. Dr Sin Yong received his award — presented by a senior CLASSYS representative — in recognition of his clinical contributions and international advocacy for CLASSYS technologies across the Asia-Pacific region.

CLASSYS — A Long-Standing Partnership
Dr Sin Yong has been a CLASSYS International Key Opinion Leader for several years, and the technologies he presented at the symposium — including Volnewmer — are part of his clinical toolkit at IN Eternity Clinic on 9 Scotts Road, #12-01 Pacific Plaza, Singapore. His work with CLASSYS platforms forms a core part of his non-surgical lifting and body contouring protocols.
Being invited to speak and participate as a panelist at the CLASSYS APAC Symposium reflects the trust CLASSYS places in Dr Sin Yong's clinical outcomes, patient communication approach, and contribution to advancing aesthetic medicine education across the region.
"It is a privilege to stand alongside colleagues from Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Australia — and to represent Singapore at this level. The conversations we have on this stage ultimately benefit patients across the entire Asia-Pacific."
