Very pleasant experience! Tried their Hydrafacial and liked it so much as it is not painful at all. Looking forward how my skin condition improves. Will definitely try again!
I really recommend the treatments here! After the hydro facial treatment I feel my skin got brighter/softer and even my blackheads has been removed.
Went for my first session of Co2 laser with Dr Summer a couple of days back and I’m starting to see impressive results. The place is gorgeous and the ambience is great as well, excited for my upcoming sessions!

-
How old do I need to be to do Dysport treatment?Under Singapore's law, we are unable to provide injectable treatments to patients under 18 years old. If you have any skin concerns, kindly consult with a doctor to check for alternative treatments that are safe for minors.
-
What is the difference between Dysport and Botox?Dysport and Botox are both cosmetic treatments that use botulinum toxin type A to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but they have some differences. Dysport as compared to Botox: - Quicker results (visible after 2-3 days) - Works better on to smooth larger surfaces such as jaw, forehead, acne scars - Cost-effective (lower cost per unit)
-
Is Dysport treatment painful?Individual pain tolerance level differs but Dysport injection feels like a quick prick but widely acceptable and generally painless. The formula also includes anesthetic, which helps to numb the injection site and reduces discomfort and pain.
-
How safe is Dysport Treatment?Injections of botulinum toxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) have been used for cosmetic and medical reasons for many years, and safety protocols have advanced over time. Presently, these injections are endorsed for various applications by both the US FDA and Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA). When administered by a well-trained physician in sterile and suitable environments, botulinum toxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) proves to be safe and effective, with minimal associated side effects.
-
Can I do Dysport treatment if I am pregnant/breastfeeding?Although there are no proven scientific evidence to support that Dysport or any Botox injections might be dangerous during pregnancy or in the course of breastfeeding, however we recommend to wait till it ends as a safety precaution.
-
Are there any over-the-counter products that can help with acne scars?Yes, there are several over-the-counter (OTC) products that may help improve the appearance of acne scars, although their effectiveness can vary depending on the type and severity of the scars. Ingredients such as Vitamin C, niacinamide, or alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) can potentially help improve scar appearance. However, OTC treatments require extended periods, ranging from months to potentially years, to produce noticeable improvements in acne scar recovery. In cases where you contend with deep-seated, stubborn acne scars or when OTC remedies fail to yield the desired results, exploring more potent solutions like laser therapy, chemical peels, and advanced procedures becomes essential. For a more accurate diagnosis of your acne scar condition, visiting a dermatologist / acne scar professional for a consultation is recommended. For a precise evaluation of your acne scar condition, it is strongly advisable to schedule a consultation with a dermatologist or a specialised acne scar professional. Their expertise can help you navigate the journey toward smoother, clearer skin.
-
Is there any downtime for vbeam laser treatment?Our vbeam laser treatment is non-Invasive and Minimal Downtime: Vbeam is considered a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, some mild redness and swelling may occur temporarily, which typically subsides within a few hours to a few days.
-
Is there any downtime for CO2 Fractional Laser?As compared to other laser treatments, CO2 Fractional Laser requires a longer downtime: CO2 fractional laser treatment typically requires some downtime, as the skin needs time to heal after the procedure. Average recovery time 1 - 2 weeks. Recovery may involve redness, swelling, and peeling, which can last for a few days to a few weeks, depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment.
-
Will I be able to see immediate results after 1 session of laser treatment?Depending on your redness and acne scarring condition, both vbeam and CO2 Fractional laser are both treatments that require time for your skin to fully heal. For a proper and complete skin recovery, most doctors will often recommend multiple sessions of laser treatments (commonly 3-6) according to your skin condition. The exact number of sessions will depend on the severity of the scars and the individual's response to the treatment.
-
AntibioticsOral antibiotics are prescribed for their fast-acting anti-inflammatory effects, often providing quicker results compared to topical treatments. Research shows a significant reduction in acne-like breakouts within a month of use. After achieving control, a maintenance approach, like low-dose doxycycline, might be advised to sustain results and prevent antibiotic resistance.
-
RetinoidsRetinoids helps to reduce acne associated with rosacea and helps to improve skin texture. However, Retinoids may potentially cause skin irritation and worsen redness if used incorrectly. Anyone considering the use of retinoids for rosacea should consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance and supervision.
-
VBEAM Laser treatmentVbeam laser therapy is a highly effective treatment for rosacea. This advanced technology uses a targeted laser to specifically target the blood vessels causing redness and visible veins on the skin. By delivering precise bursts of light energy, the Vbeam laser shrinks the blood vessels, reducing redness and improving overall skin tone. The treatment is non-invasive, relatively painless, and requires minimal downtime. It's particularly beneficial for individuals with rosacea as it significantly reduces the prominent facial redness and visible blood vessels associated with the condition, restoring a more even complexion and boosting self-confidence. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, but Vbeam laser therapy offers a safe and efficient solution for managing rosacea symptoms.
-
Azelaic acidResearch indicates that up to 80% of patients have seen a reduction in rosacea symptoms with azelaic acid usage. Initial tingling or burning sensations are common but usually subside with consistent use. If these sensations persist, discontinue use and consult a professional. Skin lightening is a potential side effect; notify your doctor promptly if this occurs.
-
MetronidazoleMetronidazole has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that helps with the reduction of both the redness and the acne-like breakouts. In rosacea, the blood vessels under the skin become enlarged, leading to redness and swelling. Metronidazole works to calm down this inflammation, which can visibly decrease redness and alleviate discomfort.
-
IsotretinoinIsotretinoin, approved for severe acne and inflammatory rosacea, effectively reduces redness and acne breakouts by controlling oil production in the skin. However, it's a potent medication with serious side effects, including the risk of birth defects. Therefore, it may not be suitable for every patient.
-
Rolling ScarsRolling scars create a wavy or undulating texture on the skin's surface. They are caused by fibrous bands of tissue pulling the skin downwards, resulting in a rolling or wave-like appearance.
-
Icepick ScarsIcepick scars are deep, narrow, and pitted scars that resemble small, deep holes in the skin's surface. They often appear as if the skin was pierced by an icepick or needle.
-
Boxcar ScarsBoxcar scars are broader depressions in the skin with well-defined edges. They typically have a box-like or rectangular shape and give the skin an uneven, pitted appearance.
-
Keloid ScarsKeloid scars are similar to hypertrophic scars but extend beyond the boundaries of the original acne lesion. They are raised, firm, and can be larger than the original pimple.
-
BlackheadA blackhead is a common type of acne lesion that forms when a pore becomes clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, resulting in a small dark spot or plug on the surface of the skin.
-
CystA cyst is a larger, fluid-filled bump that forms beneath the skin and is typically caused by an infection or blockage in the oil glands. It appears as a raised, painful lump and can vary in size, often requiring medical attention for proper treatment.
-
PapulesPapules are small, raised bumps on the skin that are usually red or pink in color. They occur when the pores become inflamed due to factors like clogged hair follicles, oil, or bacteria. Unlike pimples or blisters, papules do not contain any pus or fluid and may feel tender to the touch.
-
NodulesNodules are large, solid, and painful bumps that develop beneath the skin's surface. They are typically deeper and more severe than other types of acne lesions. Nodules are caused by a buildup of oil, bacteria, and inflammation deep within the pores, and they can take a long time to heal. These stubborn bumps often require medical intervention for effective treatment.
-
WhiteheadA whitehead is a type of acne blemish that forms when a pore gets clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, resulting in a small, raised bump on the skin's surface with a white or yellowish appearance.
-
Over reliance on medicationWhile medications can be effective in controlling acne, it's crucial to be aware of the limitations. Oral medications should only be taken for a maximum of 6 months. We've encountered numerous patients who have sought medication from multiple clinics for their acne treatment. However, it's essential to understand the potential side effects and consequences associated with each medication. The truth is, prolonged use of acne medication leads to diminished effectiveness as the body develops immunity to the treatment. This holds true for any oral medication, as bacteria in our bodies adapt and evolve to counteract the medication, significantly reducing its impact. With each occurrence, stronger doses of medication are required to address the same acne problem, increasing the risks of excessive skin dryness and other side effects on your health. It is essential to acknowledge that relying solely on medication is not the definitive solution for achieving successful acne treatment. Instead, it is crucial to understand how to naturally prevent acne recurrence by taking proactive steps to care for your own Microbiome health. By learning how to maintain a healthy Microbiome, you can effectively sustain clear skin in the long term.
-
Why Acne returns despite treatment?Standard self-medication and conventional treatments commonly prescribed by doctors often follow a generic approach. For instance, antibiotics are frequently recommended, but they indiscriminately eliminate both beneficial and harmful bacteria on the skin, leading to excessive dryness and a range of associated side effects. While these treatments may offer temporary relief and short-term results in managing acne, they often fall short in preventing its recurrence and long-term maintenance. Many individuals find themselves disheartened when acne resurfaces within 3-6 months after completing a medication regimen. Medication alone provides only temporary control over acne, lacking the ability to effectively prevent future breakouts and maintain clear skin in the long run. If you have exhausted various skincare products, experimented with over-the-counter creams, and sought assistance from multiple clinics without satisfactory results, we encourage you to consult with our experienced doctors. They will provide you with a personalized treatment plan tailored to address your unique skin needs and concerns.

Are there any over-the-counter products that can help with acne scars?Yes, there are several over-the-counter (OTC) products that may help improve the appearance of acne scars, although their effectiveness can vary depending on the type and severity of the scars. Ingredients such as Vitamin C, niacinamide, or alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) can potentially help improve scar appearance. However, OTC treatments require extended periods, ranging from months to potentially years, to produce noticeable improvements in acne scar recovery. In cases where you contend with deep-seated, stubborn acne scars or when OTC remedies fail to yield the desired results, exploring more potent solutions like laser therapy, chemical peels, and advanced procedures becomes essential. For a more accurate diagnosis of your acne scar condition, visiting a dermatologist / acne scar professional for a consultation is recommended. For a precise evaluation of your acne scar condition, it is strongly advisable to schedule a consultation with a dermatologist or a specialised acne scar professional. Their expertise can help you navigate the journey toward smoother, clearer skin.

The treatment is non-invasive, relatively painless, and requires minimal downtime. It's particularly beneficial for individuals with rosacea as it significantly reduces the prominent facial redness and visible blood vessels associated with the condition, restoring a more even complexion and boosting self-confidence. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, but Vbeam laser therapy offers a safe and efficient solution for managing rosacea symptoms.

Over reliance on medicationWhile medications can be effective in controlling acne, it's crucial to be aware of the limitations. Oral medications should only be taken for a maximum of 6 months. We've encountered numerous patients who have sought medication from multiple clinics for their acne treatment. However, it's essential to understand the potential side effects and consequences associated with each medication. The truth is, prolonged use of acne medication leads to diminished effectiveness as the body develops immunity to the treatment. This holds true for any oral medication, as bacteria in our bodies adapt and evolve to counteract the medication, significantly reducing its impact. With each occurrence, stronger doses of medication are required to address the same acne problem, increasing the risks of excessive skin dryness and other side effects on your health. It is essential to acknowledge that relying solely on medication is not the definitive solution for achieving successful acne treatment. Instead, it is crucial to understand how to naturally prevent acne recurrence by taking proactive steps to care for your own Microbiome health. By learning how to maintain a healthy Microbiome, you can effectively sustain clear skin in the long term.
-
Why Acne returns despite treatment?Standard self-medication and conventional treatments commonly prescribed by doctors often follow a generic approach. For instance, antibiotics are frequently recommended, but they indiscriminately eliminate both beneficial and harmful bacteria on the skin, leading to excessive dryness and a range of associated side effects. While these treatments may offer temporary relief and short-term results in managing acne, they often fall short in preventing its recurrence and long-term maintenance. Many individuals find themselves disheartened when acne resurfaces within 3-6 months after completing a medication regimen. Medication alone provides only temporary control over acne, lacking the ability to effectively prevent future breakouts and maintain clear skin in the long run. If you have exhausted various skincare products, experimented with over-the-counter creams, and sought assistance from multiple clinics without satisfactory results, we encourage you to consult with our experienced doctors. They will provide you with a personalized treatment plan tailored to address your unique skin needs and concerns.
