Medical aesthetic clinic Singapore: what it is and how ours works

A licensed medical clinic, with a doctor treating you.

A medical aesthetic clinic is a healthcare setting, not a beauty salon. This page describes what that means, what we treat and what to expect.

In Brief

A medical aesthetic clinic in Singapore is a licensed healthcare setting where a registered doctor assesses and treats appearance concerns. This suits people who want a medical assessment before any procedure. It cannot promise outcomes, and some concerns need a dermatologist or a surgeon instead.

About This Treatment

What this means for you

Our clinic is doctor-led. Dr Sin Yong, an aesthetic physician, performs every consultation and treatment himself. He is not an accredited dermatologist, and he refers on when a concern needs one.

A first visit is an assessment, not a treatment session. It may lead to a plan, to a referral, or to advice that you need nothing at all. We do not rank other clinics, and we do not claim to be above them. This page simply describes how we work. Responses vary between people, and every treatment carries risks.

What makes a medical aesthetic clinic in Singapore different

Clinic licence

A medical clinic is licensed by the Ministry of Health under the Healthcare Services Act.

Doctor registration

A treating doctor should be on the Singapore Medical Council register. You can check this yourself, as our aesthetic doctor guide explains.

Product and device registration

Devices and injectables should be registered with the Health Sciences Authority before supply.

Advertising limits

Singapore's rules restrict what a clinic may publish, including prices and claims of superiority. See our page on regulation.

How to check any clinic

01
Check the doctor
Search the Singapore Medical Council register for the name of the doctor who will treat you.
02
Ask about the licence
A medical clinic should hold a Ministry of Health licence under the Healthcare Services Act. It is fair to ask.
03
Ask about products
Ask for the name of the device or product, and whether it is registered with the Health Sciences Authority.
04
Ask who performs each step
You should know who will treat you, and who you can contact afterwards.

The wider range

We also offer fillers, botulinum toxin, skin boosters, lasers, radiofrequency and focused ultrasound devices, and hair treatments. The table above is a starting point. It is not a menu to order from. One concern can have several causes, and two people with the same concern may be advised differently. A droopy lid may need screening before any laser. Sagging from lost volume may need something other than heat. Our devices page lists the platforms, and our services page lists the treatments.

How a first visit works

01
History
The doctor asks about your concern, medicines and past treatments.
02
Examination
The area is examined. Earlier filler is scanned with ultrasound where relevant, and photos may be taken for your record, with consent.
03
Options
He explains the options, including no treatment, and refers you on where needed.
04
Written quote
An itemised quote follows. No decision is expected on the day.

What happens after treatment

You receive written aftercare, which covers what to expect, what to avoid and which signs to report. Injectables are reviewed once the product has settled. For longer programmes, the interval is set at review. No fixed number of sessions applies to every person, so the doctor plans this with you. If you were treated elsewhere and something concerns you, our second opinion page explains how that assessment works. It is about what is there now, and it does not pass judgement on anyone else's work.

How fees are handled

Prices are not published. A fee cannot be set before examination, and advertising restrictions apply. Fees depend on the area, the device or product, consumables, the number of passes or zones, and whether treatments are combined. These are explained after assessment and quoted in writing. Our page on how we quote gives the detail. You can take a quote home, and you are not expected to decide on the day. The consultation has its own fee, which is stated when you book.

What we will not do

Publish prices or reviews

We do not publish prices, reviews or photographs of how patients look after treatment.

Rank other clinics

We do not compare ourselves with others or claim superiority.

Promise outcomes

Individual responses vary, and no outcome can be promised.

Delegate treatment

Treatment steps are not handed to therapists or nurses.

Who should see someone else, or wait

A medical aesthetic clinic cannot meet every need. Skin disease that needs dermatology care is referred. So is suspected true ptosis of the eyelid, which goes to a specialist. Marked skin excess may need a surgical opinion. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an active infection at the site, elective treatment usually waits. If you are unsure which doctor you need, a first visit can help to sort that out. No treatment and referral are both proper outcomes. A beauty salon is not the place for filler or botulinum toxin, because these are clinical procedures.

Risks and safety

Every aesthetic treatment carries risk, even in a licensed clinic. Bruising, swelling and redness are common after many treatments. Rarer problems depend on the treatment, such as vascular occlusion after filler or burns after energy devices. Hyaluronidase is kept on site for hyaluronic acid filler emergencies, and protective eyewear is used for every laser treatment. Even so, risks are explained before consent, and no system removes them. Our clinic standards page explains how products and lot numbers are recorded, and complication care explains which signs need same-day review.
