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
A medical clinic is licensed by the Ministry of Health under the Healthcare Services Act.
A treating doctor should be on the Singapore Medical Council register. You can check this yourself, as our aesthetic doctor guide explains.
Devices and injectables should be registered with the Health Sciences Authority before supply.
Singapore's rules restrict what a clinic may publish, including prices and claims of superiority. See our page on regulation.
Common concerns we assess
| Concern | Protocols that may be discussed |
|---|---|
| Droopy or hooded eyelids | FSX Laser, after screening |
| Sagging face and jowls | VF Lift or Time Freeze Laser |
| An overfilled or pillow face | Ultrasound-guided hyaluronidase, or laser for biostimulator excess |
| Ellansé nodules and Sculptra migration | Ultrasound mapping first |
| Pigmentation and redness | R2T2 |
| Acne scars | S3 Resurfacing Lift or FSX Laser, depending on depth |
| Sagging tummy, buttocks and arms | Time Freeze Laser or the 4K Body Lift |
How to check any clinic
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
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
We do not publish prices, reviews or photographs of how patients look after treatment.
We do not compare ourselves with others or claim superiority.
Individual responses vary, and no outcome can be promised.
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.
