Choosing the Right Aesthetic Clinic - Singapore

DSC_2533If you're considering and aesthetic procedure to improve your facial appearance, choosing the right aesthetic clinic to handle your treatment may well be the most important decision you make throughout the process. So how can the average person, with no experience with these procedures choose the best aesthetic clinic? Singapore patients don't have to know a lot about aesthetic medicine to choose a great clinic. What they need to know is how to evaluate just how much the staff of each clinic knows about aesthetic medicine – and here are some key factors in doing just that.

Aesthetic Clinic Singapore: Qualifications Are Key

Interest in aesthetic procedures is growing in Singapore, as people discover that advances in medical technology and techniques have made it possible to improve appearance issues that earlier generations had no choice but to live with. As the popularity of aesthetic medicine has increased, so too has the range of medical professionals providing such procedures.

With so many options in terms of care providers, it is important for potential patients to know just what each sort of medical professional is best qualified to do in terms of aesthetic medicine. In fact, it may be the most important factor to be aware of as you evaluate aesthetic clinics, helping you to choose the clinic that has the best-qualified professional for the specific procedure you're considering.

While just about any physician or dentist can be qualified to perform minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, such as injection of cosmetic products, including most dermal fillers and neurotoxin solutions, or procedures like chemical peels, the guidelines for more invasive procedures are much stricter. For instance, the Singapore Dental Council, through its Aesthetic Procedures Oversight Committee, chaired by Dr. SL Chan, has introduced guidelines governing the practice of aesthetic facial procedures by Singapore dental professionals.

These guidelines, meant to enhance the safety and quality of these procedures, specify that minimally invasive procedures can be performed by dentists who have undergone accredited courses for training in these procedures. Invasive procedures, such as face lifts, eyelid surgery, facial implants, and facial bone contouring can only be performed by accredited Singapore Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

So here is the bottom line on choosing the best aesthetic clinic. Singapore patients who are interested in procedures that fall under the category of minimally invasive should choose an aesthetic clinic that uses qualified and experienced professionals --  with credentials showing that they have undergone accredited training specific to that procedure. For invasive procedures, look for a practice that has an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon on staff in its aesthetic clinic. Singapore patients, for the sake of safety as well as optimal results, should settle for no less than the best-qualified medical professional for invasive facial aesthetic procedures – an accredited Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.
