Dr Sin Yong — DEKA Tetra Pro S3 Resurfacing Training, Singapore

In October 2025, Dr Sin Yong co-presented with Dr Davin Lim at the DEKA Tetra Pro S3 Resurfacing Training held at Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic, Singapore — sharing his protocol for acne scar resurfacing with the DEKA Tetra Pro and volunteering himself as the live demonstration patient for Dr Davin Lim to treat.

An International Authority Consensus — Two KOLs, One Stage

The training was designed as a genuine peer-to-peer clinical education event: two physicians presenting side by side on the DEKA Tetra Pro platform. Dr Sin Yong presented his S3 Resurfacing protocol for acne scars, while Dr Davin Lim performed the live Tetra Pro treatment on Dr Sin Yong himself, with the full attending physician audience observing.

The session combined protocol instruction with a live treatment.

The Protocol: S3 Resurfacing for Acne Scars

Dr Sin Yong presented his clinical protocol for acne scar resurfacing using the DEKA Tetra Pro — a CO₂ fractional laser platform with SmartXide technology that enables precise control of laser spot geometry, depth, density and pulse stacking. The S3 Resurfacing approach (Stack, Scan, Sculpt) represents Dr Sin Yong’s systematic framework for addressing the three architectural challenges of acne scarring:

• Stack — managing the depth and thermal effect of each ablative pulse to target the base of deep box scars and rolling scars without excessive adjacent tissue injury
• Scan — optimising scan pattern, density and spacing to balance resurfacing coverage against healing time and risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly for Asian skin types
• Sculpt — using the Tetra Pro’s spot geometry flexibility to reshape scar topography through selective ablation — working on scar edges and surface topography, while tethered scars are released separately by subcision

A Live Demonstration on Acne Scars

Dr Sin Yong volunteered himself as the live demonstration patient — allowing Dr Davin Lim to perform the Tetra Pro S3 Resurfacing treatment on his own acne scars in front of the full attending physician audience.

For the attending Singapore physician audience, having both physicians present in the same room — with Dr Davin Lim performing the treatment and Dr Sin Yong receiving it — combined protocol education with a live demonstration.

DEKA — A Partnership in CO₂ Laser Excellence

Dr Sin Yong holds International Key Opinion Leader status with DEKA, the Italian laser manufacturer behind the Tetra Pro platform. DEKA’s SmartXide CO₂ fractional technology is integrated into his acne scar reconstruction and skin resurfacing protocols in Singapore, and forms a central element of his approach to scar remodelling, textural correction, and the treatment of post-inflammatory skin changes in Asian skin types.

His selection as a co-trainer for the Singapore DEKA physician education event — alongside Dr Davin Lim — reflects the depth of that partnership and the clinical credibility that both physicians bring to the DEKA platform in the Singapore market.
