Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Dr Sin Yong assesses your specific concerns, anatomy and goals at consultation and recommends the most appropriate treatment or combination of treatments. He does not use a one-size-fits-all approach — every protocol is customised.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

Are the treatments painful?

Pain levels vary by treatment. Injectable treatments use topical or local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort. Energy-based treatments such as HIFU and RF produce transient warmth or pressure sensations. Dr Sin Yong discusses the expected sensation for each treatment at consultation.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

How long is the downtime for most treatments?

Most treatments at IN Eternity Clinic have little downtime. Laser resurfacing treatments may require 5–10 days of healing. Injectable treatments may cause mild bruising or swelling for 3–7 days. Energy-based lifting treatments typically have no visible downtime.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

Can treatments be combined?

Yes. Many of Dr Sin Yong's patients receive combination protocols — for example, the VF Lift – Vertical Facelift combined with filler for volume, or Time Freeze Laser combined with BTX for functional and structural rejuvenation. Combination treatments are planned carefully to avoid over-treatment and to sequence modalities optimally.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

How much do treatments cost?

Treatment pricing at IN Eternity Clinic varies by treatment type, the volume of product used, and the complexity of the protocol. Rather than publishing a standard price list, Dr Sin Yong provides a personalised quote at consultation — based on your specific anatomy, concerns and goals. A consultation fee applies and is waived if you go ahead with any medical treatment. WhatsApp +65 8815 3008 to enquire.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

How long before I see results?

This depends on the treatment. Dermal fillers and BTX produce visible results within 24–72 hours. Energy-based treatments such as the VF Lift – Vertical Facelift and Time Freeze Laser LCLR deliver progressive improvement over 4–12 weeks as collagen is remodelled. Laser resurfacing results continue improving for 3–6 months. Dr Sin Yong will give you a realistic timeline at consultation for your specific treatment plan.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

What should I do before my consultation?

No specific preparation is needed. It helps to think about your primary concerns and what results you hope to achieve — whether that is lifting, volume restoration, skin quality or a combination. Bringing photographs of how you looked 5–10 years ago can be useful as a reference. Dr Sin Yong will conduct a thorough face-to-face assessment at the consultation itself.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

Is there a minimum age for treatment?

Most aesthetic treatments are appropriate from age 21 onwards. Some treatments — particularly preventive protocols such as early BTX for dynamic lines — are suitable from the mid-20s. Dr Sin Yong assesses each patient individually and will only recommend treatments that are clinically appropriate for your age and stage of ageing.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

Can I combine multiple treatments in one visit?

Yes. Many of Dr Sin Yong's patients receive combination protocols in a single visit — for example, VF Lift – Vertical Facelift with cheek filler, or Time Freeze Laser with BTX. Combination approaches are carefully planned so each treatment complements the others without conflict. Dr Sin Yong will advise on the optimal combination and sequencing at consultation.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

Is Dr Sin Yong registered with the Singapore Medical Council?

Yes. Dr Sin Yong holds full registration with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC). He is a fully qualified medical doctor with postgraduate master’s degrees in aesthetic medicine and practical dermatology; he is not a specialist dermatologist.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

What does 'International Key Opinion Leader' mean?

It describes a working relationship with a device manufacturer, which invites the doctor to share clinical expertise on how its platforms perform. Device makers including CLASSYS, DEKA, Fotona, HIRONIC and ilooda have invited Dr Sin Yong to share his clinical expertise internationally. It is not an endorsement of any product for an individual patient.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

What happens if I have a complication or concern after treatment?

Dr Sin Yong is directly contactable via WhatsApp for any post-treatment concerns. He manages complications of the treatments he performs and arranges specialist referral when needed. Follow-up arrangements are set out in your written plan.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

What aftercare is needed after injectable treatments?

For most injectable treatments: avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and saunas for 24–48 hours. Avoid touching or massaging the treated area unless specifically instructed. Mild swelling or bruising is normal and usually resolves within 3–7 days. Dr Sin Yong provides full written aftercare instructions for every treatment.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

When should I schedule my next appointment?

Most injectable treatments are reviewed at 2 weeks to assess the final settled result. For ongoing programmes such as hair restoration or skin resurfacing, treatment intervals are typically 4–6 weeks. Dr Sin Yong designs a personal maintenance schedule for each patient based on their treatment plan and goals. WhatsApp +65 8815 3008 to schedule your review.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

Can I Book My Appointment directly if I have concerns after treatment?

Yes. Dr Sin Yong is directly reachable via WhatsApp at +65 8815 3008 for any post-treatment queries or concerns. As a fully qualified physician, he manages any post-treatment questions personally — there is no delegation to a receptionist or nurse. Patient welfare after treatment is taken as seriously as the treatment itself.

How are difficult acne scars treated in Singapore?

The right scar treatment depends on scar type, but depth is what separates results on difficult scars. At IN Eternity Clinic, the S3 Laser is the clinic's primary choice for acne scarring because it runs on updated DEKA laser technology from Italy and can be set for deep, targeted point-shots into individual scars, alongside RF microneedling, a key reason it delivers significant improvement on difficult scars. Its concentrated beam of energy allows deep dermal restoration — effective across deep and severe scars as well as ice-pick, boxcar and other atrophic acne scars that shallower devices struggle to reach. Because scars vary, Medical Director Dr Sin Yong — known for his work in scar aesthetics — first assesses your exact mix of scar types, then combines S3 — powered by DEKA technology — with his own 4D Scar Reconstruction protocol and methods such as subcision, TCA CROSS and collagen stimulation to achieve significant, lasting change on scarring.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

How is the right face lift treatment chosen in Singapore?

The right facelift depends on how and where your face has aged — surface skin laxity, descended tissue and weakened deeper support each call for a different approach, so no single treatment suits everyone. For those who prefer to avoid surgery, non-surgical lifting uses energy and firming to tighten skin and re-support tissue with little downtime for most people. At IN Eternity Clinic, Dr Sin Yong combines protocols such as Time Freeze Laser LCLR, VF Lift – Vertical Facelift and RVR ProLift, selecting the combination that fits your anatomy and goals for a natural, balanced result.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic FAQ

How do I choose an aesthetic doctor in Singapore?

Choosing an aesthetic doctor is personal, and the right choice depends on your concern, the doctor's training and experience, and how carefully they assess and plan your treatment. When comparing, it helps to look for full medical qualifications, recognised experience with your specific concern, and an approach that prioritises natural results over volume. IN Eternity Clinic is led by Medical Director Dr Sin Yong — an aesthetic physician with more than 15 years of experience, invited by device makers including CLASSYS, DEKA, Fotona, HIRONIC and ilooda to share his clinical expertise internationally. He is known for his work in scar aesthetics, using his own 4D Scar Reconstruction protocol together with the S3 Laser powered by DEKA technology for significant improvement on difficult scars, and assesses and plans every treatment at the clinic.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Orchard Road

Can I get a treatment price before I visit?

A general explanation, yes; an accurate figure, no. Cost depends on what the examination shows: the product or device, the areas treated, the number of sessions and how treatments are sequenced. A number given before Dr Sin Yong has seen you would be a guess, so the written quote follows the assessment. The fees page explains what shapes cost.

Aesthetic Clinic Red Flags in Singapore

What are the biggest red flags at an aesthetic clinic?

Pressure to pay for a prepaid package on the day, anyone other than a registered doctor injecting, products you cannot see or identify, promises of a particular result, and a consultation with no discussion of risks or follow-up. Two or more of these at the same visit is a good reason to leave without treatment and think again.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Red Flags in Singapore

Is it a red flag if someone other than the doctor does my injections?

Injections of botulinum toxin and fillers are medical procedures that call for anatomical knowledge and the ability to manage complications on the spot. Ask who will perform the treatment and expect the answer to be the registered doctor who assessed you. If the doctor leaves before the injecting starts, consider that a warning sign.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Red Flags in Singapore

Why do some clinics not sell packages?

Because a package commits you to a number of sessions before anyone knows how you respond to the first. A staged plan with reviews lets the doctor adjust or stop. Singapore’s professional and advertising rules also discourage inducements that push patients to decide quickly. At IN Eternity Clinic, Dr Sin Yong gives a written quote after assessment instead.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Red Flags in Singapore

How can I tell if a filler is genuine?

Ask to see the box or label before treatment, and ask for the product name and batch to be recorded in your notes. Genuine products come through authorised suppliers and are registered with the Health Sciences Authority where required. Be wary of products already drawn up out of sight, unfamiliar brands described as equivalent, or prices far below the usual range.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Red Flags in Singapore

Are cheap treatments always unsafe?

Not always, but a price far below the usual range has to come from somewhere: a different product, a smaller amount, less doctor time or a different setting. Ask what is included and who will perform the treatment. The aim is not to pay more, but to understand exactly what you are paying for before you agree.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Red Flags in Singapore

What should a clinic tell me about risks?

Both the common effects, such as swelling, redness and bruising, and the rare but serious ones, such as vascular occlusion after filler or burns and pigment change after laser. You should also hear what the clinic does if a complication happens, what aftercare involves and when you will be reviewed. A clinic that says there are no risks is not being straightforward.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Red Flags in Singapore

Can I leave a consultation without booking treatment?

Yes, and you should feel able to. A consultation is for diagnosis and advice. A careful clinic gives you a written plan and quote, answers your questions and lets you decide later. If you feel you cannot leave without paying a deposit or committing to a course, that pressure is the red flag.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Red Flags in Singapore

Aesthetic Clinic Safety in Singapore

Are needles reused at IN Eternity Clinic?

No. Needles and cannulas are single-use and sterile. Each one is opened for your treatment and goes into a sharps container immediately after use. Skin is cleansed with an antiseptic before any injection, hands are cleaned between patients, and treatment surfaces are cleaned between appointments.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Safety in Singapore

What happens if filler blocks a blood vessel?

It is rare, but it is an emergency. Warning signs include sudden severe pain, blanching, a dusky or mottled patch, or changes in vision. For hyaluronic acid filler, hyaluronidase is kept on hand and given promptly to dissolve the product. Non-HA fillers cannot be dissolved, which is one reason they are dosed conservatively. Any vision change needs emergency hospital care.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Safety in Singapore

Is there an anaphylaxis kit at the clinic?

Yes. Severe allergic reactions to aesthetic treatments are rare, but the clinic keeps an anaphylaxis kit including adrenaline, and your allergy history is reviewed before any medicine or product is used. If a serious reaction occurred, treatment would start immediately and emergency services would be called on 995.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Safety in Singapore

How are lasers kept safe?

Lasers and energy platforms are maintained, serviced and checked before use. Settings are chosen by Dr Sin Yong for your skin type and the target, which matters in Asian skin, where excess heat can cause pigment change. Everyone in the room wears eye protection suited to the wavelength being used.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Safety in Singapore

How do I know the products used are genuine?

You can ask to see the box or label before treatment, and the product name and batch are recorded in your notes so they can be traced. Our pages on product sourcing and on HSA registration explain how products are obtained and what registration does and does not mean.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Safety in Singapore

Can every complication be prevented?

No. Every medical procedure carries some risk, even with careful screening and technique. Bruising, swelling and temporary redness are common and expected. The aim is to make serious complications less likely, to recognise them early and to treat them without delay. That is why risks are explained before consent and follow-up is planned.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Safety in Singapore

Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Which is the top aesthetic clinic in Singapore?

There is no official ranking, and Singapore’s rules do not allow clinics to advertise themselves as the top choice. A more useful question is whether a clinic meets the standards that protect you: an MOH licence, an SMC-registered doctor who examines and treats you, HSA-registered products, a written plan and clear aftercare.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

How do I check an aesthetic doctor’s registration?

Search the doctor’s full name on the Singapore Medical Council’s public register and confirm the registration is current. If a specialist title such as dermatologist is used, check the specialist register as well.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Is a more expensive aesthetic clinic safer?

Not automatically. Price reflects product, sessions, device, time and overheads. Safety depends on the licence, the doctor, the products and how complications are handled, so check those first and compare quotes item by item.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Should the doctor perform the treatment personally?

For injectables and medical lasers, you should know exactly who will perform each step and under whose supervision. Ask before you book. At IN Eternity Clinic, consultations are with Dr Sin Yong and medical procedures are carried out under his care.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

What is the difference between an aesthetic clinic and a medical spa?

“Medical spa” is a marketing term, not a licence category. An aesthetic clinic is an MOH-licensed medical clinic led by a registered doctor. If a medical spa offers injections or medical lasers, check that it is a licensed clinic and who will treat you.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

How many clinics should I consult before deciding?

One or two careful consultations usually tell you more than many quick ones. Bring the same questions to each, compare the diagnosis and the written plan as well as the price, and take time to decide.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

What should I bring to a first consultation?

A list of your medicines and allergies, details of previous aesthetic treatments (product names if you have them), and photographs if your concern varies. Arrive with clean skin if you can.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Can a nurse or beautician give fillers or anti-wrinkle injections in Singapore?

Fillers and anti-wrinkle injections are medical procedures, and anti-wrinkle injections are prescription medicines. Ask which doctor will inject you, check that doctor on the Singapore Medical Council register, and expect to meet them before treatment. A beauty salon is not the place for injectables.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Should I be treated on the same day as my consultation?

Sometimes that is reasonable, for a simple treatment you have already researched and that the doctor agrees suits you. It is equally reasonable to go home, think and come back. A clinic should never make a same-day decision a condition of anything. For bigger plans, a second visit gives you time to read about the treatment, check the product and ask the questions you did not think of in the room.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

How often should I have aesthetic treatments?

It depends on the treatment and on how your skin responds, so the doctor should give you a maintenance plan with the first treatment plan. As a general principle, well-planned, properly spaced treatments reviewed against your own photographs serve the face better than frequent, impulse bookings, and some treatments need no maintenance at all.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Are online reviews a good way to choose an aesthetic clinic?

They help with service, punctuality and how you are treated, but not with medical judgement. Reviews cannot show whether a diagnosis was right or how a complication was handled, and clinic advertising in Singapore may not use patient endorsements. Use reviews to make a shortlist, then check the licence, the doctor, the products and the written plan.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

What is a Certificate of Competence for aesthetic doctors?

Under the Singapore Medical Council’s aesthetic guidelines, doctors who do not already qualify through earlier experience or specialist training need a Certificate of Competence for certain procedures, gained through an accredited course. The SMC publishes the list of accredited courses. It is reasonable to ask a doctor which procedures they are approved to perform.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Is it safe to have aesthetic treatment overseas?

It can be, but follow-up is harder. Products and devices may not be registered in Singapore, records may be in another language, and reviews or complications mean another trip. If you do travel for treatment, keep the product names, batch numbers and treatment record, and know who you will contact if something goes wrong after you return.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

How do I compare two aesthetic clinic quotes?

Compare like with like: the product and amount, the number of sessions, the device, whether reviews and later adjustments are included, and who performs each step. A lower price for fewer units or fewer sessions is not cheaper. Ask for the plan in writing, and be wary of packages that must be paid for on the day.

Aesthetic Clinic Singapore for Visitors

Can I have a consultation before I travel?

Yes. A WhatsApp video pre-consultation with Dr Sin Yong can be arranged on +65 8815 3008. It helps plan your visit, though final decisions about treatment are made after an in-person examination at the clinic. Message the clinic with your travel dates so a provisional in-person appointment can be held for you.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore for Visitors

Can I get treatment on the day I arrive?

Sometimes, if your schedule allows and the treatment suits you after examination. The first visit is a consultation of 45 to 60 minutes. Injectables and lasers are given only after assessment and consent. If time is short, mention it when booking so the consultation can be scheduled early in your stay.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore for Visitors

How long should I wait after treatment before flying?

It depends on the treatment. Low-downtime facials and laser toning fit easily before a flight. For injectables and resurfacing, Dr Sin Yong usually suggests leaving a few days so swelling or bruising can be reviewed. You will be given specific advice for your plan.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore for Visitors

What if I have a problem after I get home?

Send daylight photos to the clinic by WhatsApp and Dr Sin Yong will advise. Anything urgent, such as severe pain, colour change of the skin or vision change after an injectable, needs a local doctor or emergency department immediately. Taking a copy of your treatment record home helps any doctor who sees you.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore for Visitors

Can I continue a course of treatment at home?

Some courses can be continued elsewhere and some cannot. Dr Sin Yong will explain what was done, the settings or products used where relevant, and what a doctor at home would need to know. A copy of your record can be provided.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore for Visitors

How much does treatment cost for overseas visitors?

Fees are the same whether you live in Singapore or overseas, and depend on the treatment, the area, the number of sessions and what is found on examination. They are explained in writing after the consultation, before anything is booked.

I am only in Singapore for a few days. Is that enough?

Often, for a consultation and treatments with little visible recovery. Say how long you are staying when you book, so the consultation can be scheduled early. Larger procedures that need a review before you fly may be better kept for a longer visit.

How are difficult acne scars treated in Singapore?

By scar type. Rolling scars are tethered and usually need subcision; ice-pick scars are narrow and deep and may suit TCA CROSS; boxcar scars and texture respond to fractional resurfacing. At IN Eternity Clinic, the S3 Resurfacing Lift on the DEKA Tetra Pro CO2 laser is combined with these methods in Dr Sin Yong’s 4D Scar Reconstruction protocol. Scar tissue is remodelled over a course, not erased. See acne scar treatment.

Read more: Aesthetic Clinic Singapore, Orchard

How is the right face lift treatment chosen?

By how and where the face has aged: skin laxity, descended tissue and loss of deeper support each need a different approach, so no single treatment suits everyone. Energy-based lifting, threads and collagen stimulators are combined to fit the anatomy, and surgery is discussed where it would serve you better. See the non-surgical facelift guide.

Yes.

Aesthetic Medicine Rules in Singapore Explained

Do aesthetic clinics in Singapore need an MOH licence?

Yes. A clinic providing medical services needs a licence from the Ministry of Health under the Healthcare Services Act 2020, issued for each licensable service, such as an outpatient medical service. MOH says HealthHub lists all licensed healthcare service providers. IN Eternity Clinic’s MOH licence is MDS/001/252.

Read more: Aesthetic Medicine Rules in Singapore Explained

Can any registered doctor perform aesthetic procedures?

No. SMC says a registered doctor who wishes to perform aesthetic procedures must also meet the Guidelines on Aesthetic Practices for Doctors (2016 Edition). Non-specialist doctors need the required experience or a Certificate of Competence for each listed procedure, and conditionally registered doctors may not practise aesthetics.

Read more: Aesthetic Medicine Rules in Singapore Explained

Is there such a thing as an aesthetic specialist in Singapore?

No. Aesthetic practice is not a recognised specialty or subspecialty in Singapore, so a doctor must not claim to be a specialist in aesthetic medicine or use titles such as “aesthetic dermatologist”. Doctors may describe themselves only with designations that SMC approves.

Read more: Aesthetic Medicine Rules in Singapore Explained

Why do clinic websites in Singapore have no testimonials or “before” and “after” photos?

Because the Healthcare Services (Advertisement) Regulations 2021 bar licensed providers from publishing testimonials and endorsements, and MOH says advertisements must not feature “before” and “after” photographs. SMC’s ethical guidelines say the same. Such photographs may still be shown to you during a consultation.

Read more: Aesthetic Medicine Rules in Singapore Explained

Can clinics in Singapore advertise prices or packages?

A licensed provider may list the exact and final price of a service, but MOH says promotional packages, time-limited prices and price-cut wording are not allowed, and SMC’s guidelines bar financial inducements such as free or reduced-price treatments. At IN Eternity Clinic fees are quoted in writing after assessment.

Read more: Aesthetic Medicine Rules in Singapore Explained

Who is allowed to give filler or anti-wrinkle injections in Singapore?

HSA and MOH state that aesthetic injectables such as dermal fillers and botulinum toxin injections should only be administered by qualified medical practitioners, and the products must be registered with HSA. Under the SMC guidelines, doctors also need the required experience or certification. At IN Eternity Clinic, Dr Sin Yong performs injectables himself.

Read more: Aesthetic Medicine Rules in Singapore Explained

Are mesotherapy and carboxytherapy allowed in Singapore?

The SMC Guidelines on Aesthetic Practices (2016 Edition) say mesotherapy and carboxytherapy, formerly List B procedures, are no longer permitted outside an approved clinical trial. Any aesthetic procedure not listed in the guidelines must be classified by the Aesthetic Practice Oversight Committee before a doctor offers it.

Read more: Aesthetic Medicine Rules in Singapore Explained

How do I check that a filler or device is registered?

Ask for the brand name, then search HSA Infosearch: fillers appear on the Singapore Medical Device Register and medicines on the Register of Therapeutic Products. HSA registration explained shows the steps, and the clinic should record the batch in your notes.

Aesthetic Treatment Glossary

What is the difference between ablative and non-ablative laser?

An ablative laser such as CO2 removes a thin layer of skin, so the surface has to heal over several days. A non-ablative laser heats the dermis while leaving the surface intact, so recovery is shorter and change builds over a course of sessions. Which suits you depends on the problem, your skin type and the downtime you can accept.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatment Glossary

Can every type of filler be dissolved?

No. Hyaluronic acid filler can usually be broken down with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Collagen-stimulating fillers such as poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and polycaprolactone (Ellansé) are not affected by it, so knowing what was injected is the first step in any correction.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatment Glossary

What is the SMAS layer?

The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is the fibrous layer beneath the facial fat that connects the facial muscles to the skin. It is the layer repositioned in a surgical facelift, and the deepest layer that facial HIFU is set to reach, at around 4.5 mm.

Can treatments on this list be combined?

Often, yes, but in a planned order. For example, volume is usually corrected before skin quality, and laser is timed around any swelling. Combinations are decided at assessment.

Aesthetic Treatments Compared

Which aesthetic treatments have the shortest recovery?

No treatment is entirely without after-effects, but Hydrafacial, laser toning, anti-wrinkle injections, most skin boosters, HIFU and VF Lift – Vertical Facelift usually allow a return to normal activities the same day. Expect minor redness, small bumps or an occasional bruise for hours to a few days.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatments Compared

Which aesthetic treatment gives the fastest results?

Dermal fillers show a change immediately, settling over one to two weeks, and anti-wrinkle injections act over several days to two weeks. Pigment spots treated with pico laser usually lift within about a week. Collagen-building treatments take two to six months.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatments Compared

How many sessions do aesthetic treatments need?

It depends on how the treatment works. Fillers, HIFU, Ultherapy and Thermage are often single sessions with later maintenance; skin boosters, Profhilo, Juvelook and Sculptra are usually a short course; lasers for pigment, scars and hair run as courses spaced weeks apart. The number is decided at assessment.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatments Compared

Can different aesthetic treatments be combined?

Often, yes, because they work on different layers: for example an energy device for laxity with a skin booster for quality, or filler for volume with anti-wrinkle injections for movement. The order and spacing matter, and some combinations are done on separate days. This is planned at assessment.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatments Compared

Is HIFU or a thread lift better for sagging?

Neither is better in general. HIFU suits early laxity and builds collagen over two to three months with little downtime; a thread lift repositions mild to moderate descent at once, with a few days of swelling. Heavy skin excess may need a surgical opinion instead. The choice follows the degree and pattern of sagging.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatments Compared

Are skin boosters the same as fillers?

No. Fillers add volume or structure and change shape; skin boosters are placed in the dermis to improve hydration, texture and elasticity without changing shape. Some products, such as Juvelook and Sculptra, stimulate collagen over months rather than filling immediately.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatments Compared

Which treatments are safe for darker or Asian skin?

Most treatments in the table can be used in skin that tans readily, with settings and timing planned around the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation. Lasers and resurfacing are the main concern; for hair removal the 1,064 nm wavelength suits darker skin. A fresh tan is a reason to wait.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatments Compared

How do I know which treatment I need?

Start from the concern and its cause rather than a treatment name. An in-person assessment identifies whether the problem is volume, laxity, muscle, pigment, scarring or skin quality, and the options follow from that. At IN Eternity Clinic this is done by Dr Sin Yong.

Read more: Aesthetic Treatments Compared

Ask the Doctor

Will pico laser make my melasma worse?

It can if settings are too aggressive or sun protection is poor, because melasma reacts to heat and inflammation. Gentle, well-spaced sessions combined with daily sunscreen and sometimes oral or topical treatment are more appropriate. Melasma is managed rather than cured, and a doctor should confirm the diagnosis first.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Is HIFU or radiofrequency better for sagging?

Neither is better in general. HIFU delivers focused ultrasound to deeper layers, while monopolar radiofrequency heats the skin more broadly. The choice depends on where the laxity is, skin thickness and how much fat is present. Some plans combine methods; others need neither.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?

Usually around three to four months, varying with the area, dose, muscle strength and metabolism. Effects start over several days and fade gradually. Repeat treatment is planned when movement returns, not on a fixed calendar. How often to repeat it is discussed at each review.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Can I have laser treatment if I have darker skin?

Often, yes, with the right laser and settings. Darker skin carries a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation, so wavelength, energy and spacing are chosen carefully, and careful sun protection around each session is essential. A test area is sometimes used. Gentler, more frequent sessions are often safer than fewer, stronger ones.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

How many sessions do acne scars need?

It depends on the scar types present. Rolling, boxcar and ice-pick scars respond to different methods, such as subcision, CO2 resurfacing and RF microneedling, and most people need a course over several months. Improvement is gradual, and the plan is reviewed after each stage.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Is it normal to bruise after injections?

Yes. Bruising is common after injections, particularly around the eyes and lips, and usually fades within one to two weeks. Avoiding blood-thinning supplements beforehand, where it is safe to stop them, can reduce it. Sudden pain or a pale or dusky patch is different and needs urgent review.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Should I stop retinoids before laser?

Often, for a few days before more intensive laser or peels, because retinoids thin the outer skin layer and increase irritation. For gentle treatments it may not be necessary. Prescription retinoids taken by mouth need a longer discussion; tell the doctor about any you have used in the past year.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Can I have treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Most injectables and many energy-based treatments are postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding because safety data are lacking. Gentle facials and some skincare adjustments may be possible. Tell the doctor at booking so that a safe plan can be discussed. Treatment can then be resumed once you have finished breastfeeding.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Why do my under-eyes look darker after filler?

Possible reasons include filler placed too superficially, which can give a bluish tint, swelling that holds fluid, or a dark circle that was caused by pigment or thin skin rather than hollowness. An examination, sometimes with ultrasound, is needed to tell these apart before correcting anything.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Can lasers remove cherry angiomas and syringomas?

Usually, yes. Cherry angiomas, small red blood-vessel spots, respond to vascular laser or electrocautery. Syringomas, firm bumps around the eyes, are treated with CO2 laser and often need more than one session, and some can recur. The diagnosis is confirmed first.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

When should I start treatment for hair thinning?

Early. Hair treatments work better at preserving and strengthening existing follicles than at reviving ones that have stopped. Thinning should first be assessed for causes such as iron deficiency, thyroid problems or hormonal patterns, then a plan made, which may include lasers, scalp treatments or medicines.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Can collagen stimulators such as Sculptra or Ellansé be reduced if there is too much?

They cannot be dissolved like hyaluronic acid filler. Depending on the situation, options may include waiting, treating the area around them, or energy-based treatments such as Time Freeze Laser LCLR® or VF Lift – Vertical Facelift, which are built to target these products and take away the excess. Not every laser can do this, so assessment comes first.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

How do I know if an aesthetic clinic is properly licensed?

Licensed clinics in Singapore are regulated by the Ministry of Health, and every doctor must be registered with the Singapore Medical Council, whose online register can be searched by name. Ask who will perform your treatment and check that person’s registration before booking.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

How soon will I see results from collagen-building treatments?

Gradually. Collagen remodelling after radiofrequency, ultrasound or laser treatments develops over weeks to months, so early swelling is not the result. Reviews are usually planned at intervals of several weeks, and how much change occurs varies from person to person.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Can I combine several treatments on the same day?

Sometimes. Some combinations work well together, while others are better spaced to reduce swelling or irritation or to see each effect clearly. The order matters too; for example, energy treatments are often planned around injectable sessions rather than straight after them.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

Are skin boosters a once-off treatment?

Usually not. Most skin boosters are given as an initial series a few weeks apart, then maintained at longer intervals. The exact schedule depends on the product, your skin and your goals, and it should be reviewed rather than repeated by default.

Read more: Ask the Doctor

How much does treatment cost?

It depends on the treatment, the area, the product or device used, the number of sessions and what is found on examination. That is why the clinic gives fees in writing after a consultation rather than quoting in advance, so that you can compare options and decide in your own time.

Check a Clinic Licence & SMC Register

How do I check if an aesthetic clinic is licensed in Singapore?

Search the clinic’s name or address in the Ministry of Health’s online directory of licensed healthcare institutions, and look for the licence displayed at the premises. The name and address should match what you were given. If the brand name differs from the licensee, ask the clinic to explain the link; a brand trading under a company licence is common, but it should be clear.

Read more: Check a Clinic Licence & SMC Register

How do I check a doctor on the SMC register?

Use the Singapore Medical Council’s public search for registered medical practitioners. Search by the doctor’s full name and check that the registration is current, the type of registration and the listed place of practice. If the doctor is described as a specialist, such as a dermatologist, check that they also appear on the relevant specialist register.

Read more: Check a Clinic Licence & SMC Register

How do I know if a filler or toxin is HSA-registered?

HSA publishes searchable registers for medical devices and therapeutic products, which you can search by brand name. At the clinic, it is reasonable to ask to see the box or label and to have the product name and batch recorded in your notes. Products bought online or brought in from abroad are outside the authorised supply chain, even when the brand looks familiar.

Read more: Check a Clinic Licence & SMC Register

Can a beautician give me filler or anti-wrinkle injections?

Injectable treatments such as dermal fillers and botulinum toxin are medical procedures, and botulinum toxin is a prescription medicine. They belong with a registered doctor in a licensed clinic, where complications can be recognised and treated at once. If someone other than a doctor offers to inject you, or the setting is a salon, hotel room or home, treat that as a reason to stop.

Read more: Check a Clinic Licence & SMC Register

Is a medical aesthetic clinic the same as a spa that offers facials?

No. A spa or salon can provide non-medical facials and massages. A licensed medical clinic operates under a Ministry of Health licence and can provide medical treatments such as injectables and medical lasers under a doctor. Some brands run both kinds of business, so ask which setting your treatment will take place in and who will perform it.

Read more: Check a Clinic Licence & SMC Register

What should I ask at my first consultation?

Ask who will perform the treatment, which product will be used and whether you can see it, what the common and rare risks are, what happens if something goes wrong, and how to reach the clinic afterwards. A clinic that answers these clearly, and gives you time to decide, has usually thought about safety well beyond the paperwork.

Read more: Check a Clinic Licence & SMC Register

Does a clean check mean nothing can go wrong?

No. Every medical procedure carries some risk, even with the right doctor, the right product and the right setting. The checks remove avoidable risks, such as an unregistered product or an unqualified operator. The remaining risk is managed through careful assessment, appropriate technique and a clinic that is prepared to recognise and treat complications quickly.

Read more: Check a Clinic Licence & SMC Register

Has the Healthcare Services Act replaced the PHMCA?

Yes. The Healthcare Services Act was enacted in 2020 to replace the Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act. According to the Ministry of Health, outpatient medical services moved to HCSA licences from 26 June 2023, and the older Act was to be repealed at the end of 2023.

Read more: Check a Clinic Licence & SMC Register

Can any registered doctor perform aesthetic procedures?

No. The Singapore Medical Council says a doctor must meet the requirements of its Guidelines on Aesthetic Practices for Doctors (2016 edition), and conditionally registered doctors may not practise aesthetic medicine. Ask which procedures your doctor is approved to perform.

Where do I search for a registered doctor in Singapore?

Why do you not publish treatment prices?

Because the cost of a plan depends on what the examination shows: the product and amount, the areas, the number of sessions and how treatments are sequenced. A figure published in advance would be too low for many people and too high for others. A written quote after assessment is accurate and easier to compare.

Read more: Consultation Fees & How Pricing Works

Do you offer packages or bundle deals?

No. Plans are staged, with a review after each step, rather than sold as prepaid bundles or time-limited deals. This lets Dr Sin Yong adjust or stop the plan based on how you respond, and keeps the decision about each step with you, without any financial pressure to continue.

Read more: Consultation Fees & How Pricing Works

Can the cost change after the quote?

The quote reflects the plan agreed at assessment. If your response at review means a step should change, be added or be dropped, the change and its cost are explained before anything is done. You are never asked to pay for a step you have not agreed to in advance.

Are aesthetic treatments covered by MediSave or insurance?

Cosmetic treatments are generally not claimable under MediSave or health insurance in Singapore. Some medically indicated procedures may be treated differently, depending on the scheme and your policy. Our claims and insurance FAQ explains what to check before treatment and which documents the clinic can provide.

Read more: Consultation Fees & How Pricing Works

How should I compare quotes from different clinics?

Compare like with like: the product and amount, the areas treated, the number of sessions, who performs the treatment and whether reviews are included. A lower headline price can reflect a smaller amount, a different product or less doctor time. Ask each clinic to put its plan in writing so the comparison is fair.

DEKA Academy Florence 2026

Does this change my treatment at IN Eternity?

Not in what we offer, and not in what a treatment can achieve. Your plan is still decided at assessment. What the programme informs is detail: how TORO modes are set for skin types III to V, and how the 675 nm laser and pico are ordered and spaced when combined.

DEKA Singapore

What is a DEKA Centre of Excellence?

A DEKA Centre of Excellence is a designation granted by DEKA — the Florence-based medical laser manufacturer — to a small number of clinics internationally. It recognises clinical standards, protocol development and innovation in patient care rather than purchase volume. IN Eternity Clinic was certified a DEKA Centre of Excellence in July 2026, presented jointly by DEKA and its Asia-Pacific distributor NeoAsia.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

When was IN Eternity Clinic certified?

The certification was presented on 24 July 2026 at IN Eternity Clinic during a full working-day clinical exchange with a DEKA delegation from Italy, covering the TORO, RedTouch Pro and Tetra Pro CO2 platforms. It was awarded jointly by DEKA and NeoAsia, DEKA's Asia-Pacific distributor.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

What does it mean that Dr Sin Yong is a Key Opinion Leader for DEKA?

A Key Opinion Leader appointment is a working relationship in which the manufacturer's clinical and engineering teams consult the physician on how a platform behaves in real clinical conditions, and the physician in turn is invited to share clinical expertise on its use with other doctors. It is not a sponsorship or an endorsement. Medical Director Dr Sin Yong holds International KOL appointments with DEKA, CLASSYS, HIRONIC, ALMA, FOTONA and LUTRONIC.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

What is the DEKA S3 laser and why does depth matter?

The S3 is a fractional laser on the DEKA Tetra Pro platform. Built on updated DEKA laser technology from Italy, it can be set for deep, targeted point-shots into individual scars, alongside RF microneedling — allowing deep dermal restoration across deep, ice-pick, boxcar and other atrophic acne scars that shallower devices cannot reach.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

Which treatments at the clinic use DEKA platforms?

DEKA platforms underpin the clinic's scar and resurfacing work, including S3 multi-depth resurfacing and the 4D Scar Reconstruction protocol, alongside pigment and skin-quality work on the TORO platform. Medical Director Dr Sin Yong selects platform and settings according to each patient's skin and concern.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

Does the certification change what results I can expect?

No. A Centre of Excellence designation reflects clinical standards, training and protocol work; it does not promise an individual outcome. Realistic expectations for your specific concern are set at consultation.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

How do I arrange a consultation?

Consultations at IN Eternity Clinic can be arranged by WhatsApp on +65 8815 3008 or by email at globalkol@ineternityclinic.com. The clinic is at 9 Scotts Road, #12-01 Pacific Plaza, Singapore 228210, on Orchard Road.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

Which DEKA lasers are available at IN Eternity Clinic?

Four DEKA platforms are used: the SmartXide Tetra PRO CO2 laser for scars, resurfacing and syringomas; TORO for pigment, laser toning and tattoos; RedTouch Pro at 675 nm for redness, pores and texture; and Onda Pro microwave for localised fat. Which one suits you depends on your concern and skin type, assessed at consultation.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

What is the DEKA RedTouch Pro?

RedTouch Pro is a fractional laser at 675 nm, a wavelength absorbed mainly by collagen. At IN Eternity Clinic it is the platform behind the 少女光 protocol for redness, pores and fine texture. It is a different tool from pico lasers, which act on pigment, and from CO2, which resurfaces.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

Will I be treated on a DEKA device because the clinic is a Centre of Excellence?

Only if a DEKA platform is the right tool for your concern. Laser hair removal, for example, uses the Lutronic Clarity II, and lifting uses CLASSYS platforms. The designation reflects clinical standards and protocol work; it does not change how the treatment for each patient is chosen.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

Where can I get DEKA laser treatment in Singapore?

IN Eternity Clinic at 9 Scotts Road, #12-01 Pacific Plaza, on Orchard Road, uses four DEKA platforms: the SmartXide Tetra PRO, TORO, RedTouch Pro and Onda Pro. Treatment follows a consultation with Dr Sin Yong, which can be arranged by WhatsApp on +65 8815 3008.

Is DEKA an Italian laser company?

Yes. DEKA is a medical laser manufacturer based in Florence, Italy. Its platforms are used in dermatology, plastic surgery, gynaecology and ENT as well as aesthetic medicine.

Read more: DEKA Singapore

What is the DEKA SmartXide Tetra PRO used for?

It is a fractional CO2 laser. At IN Eternity Clinic it is used for acne scars and resurfacing, including S3 point-shots into individual scars and the 4D Scar Reconstruction protocol, and at fine settings for syringomas. CO2 resurfacing involves a recovery period with redness and fine crusting.

Who distributes DEKA lasers in this region?

NeoAsia is DEKA’s Asia-Pacific distributor. The Centre of Excellence certification at IN Eternity Clinic was presented jointly by DEKA and NeoAsia.

DEKA Tetra Pro Singapore

Is the DEKA Tetra Pro available in Singapore?

Yes. The DEKA Tetra Pro is available at IN Eternity Clinic, 9 Scotts Road, #12-01 Pacific Plaza, Singapore 228210, a designated DEKA Centre of Excellence. Dr Sin Yong uses it for acne scars, S3 and 4D Scar Reconstruction, texture and small benign lesions. Treatment follows a consultation at which the plan and recovery are agreed.

Read more: DEKA Tetra Pro Singapore

Is the Tetra Pro the same as the SmartXide Tetra PRO?

Yes. The clinic refers to it as the DEKA SmartXide Tetra PRO, after DEKA’s SmartXide line of CO2 lasers. DEKA’s current product page calls it the Tetra PRO and describes a 10,600 nm CO2 source with 40 W of power, PSD pulse shapes and DOT and Scar 3 scanning systems.

Read more: DEKA Tetra Pro Singapore

What is the SCAR3 (S3) mode?

SCAR3 is a scar-focused scanning approach on the Tetra Pro. At IN Eternity Clinic it is used for point-shots into individual acne-scar pits followed by a lighter fractional pass, which is the basis of the S3 protocol. Settings are chosen per scar type, and it is often combined with subcision or TCA CROSS.

Read more: DEKA Tetra Pro Singapore

Does DEKA Tetra Pro treatment hurt?

Numbing cream is applied beforehand, and most people describe a hot, prickling sensation during the passes. The skin feels like a sunburn for a few hours afterwards. Comfort depends on the area and the depth of treatment, and settings can be adjusted during the session.

Read more: DEKA Tetra Pro Singapore

What is the downtime after a Tetra Pro treatment?

After a full-face fractional session, the surface usually heals in about five to seven days, with fine crusting and swelling at first. Pinkness can last for weeks, and sun protection is essential while it settles. Small lesion treatments heal faster, often as a small crust that sheds within a week or two.

Read more: DEKA Tetra Pro Singapore

How many Tetra Pro sessions will I need for acne scars?

It depends on scar types and depth. Scar plans typically involve three to six sessions about six to eight weeks apart, so collagen can remodel between them, often combined with subcision or TCA CROSS. Dr Sin Yong gives a likely range at assessment and reviews it as scars respond.

Read more: DEKA Tetra Pro Singapore

Is the Tetra Pro better than FSX for acne scars?

They do different jobs. The Tetra Pro is ablative and reaches deeper scars, with more downtime and darker areas while healing. FSX is non-ablative, with less visible scabbing, and suits skin quality, redness and lighter scarring. Dr Sin Yong chooses between them, or combines them, at assessment.

Read more: DEKA Tetra Pro Singapore

Can the Tetra Pro remove moles?

A mole is examined before anything is removed, because laser destroys the tissue a laboratory would need. Where a lesion is confirmed benign, CO2 can be used for some growths, such as seborrhoeic keratoses or syringomas. Moles that raise concern are excised for laboratory examination or referred.

Downtime Planner

How accurate is the planner?

It uses the typical ranges on our own treatment pages, which describe common clinical experience. Your own downtime depends on your skin type, the area treated, the settings used and how you look after your skin afterwards. Dr Sin Yong confirms the timing at your assessment.

Read more: Downtime Planner

Can I have two treatments before the same event?

Often yes, but they are usually spaced so that each settles before the next. The planner shows each treatment separately; ask on WhatsApp if you want a combined plan.

Read more: Downtime Planner

What if I bruise easily?

Allow more time, at least two weeks for injections before a photographed event, and tell the doctor about any blood-thinning medicines or supplements you take.

Read more: Downtime Planner

Is there anything I should avoid before an event?

Avoid trying a new treatment or new strong skincare in the final week, and avoid strong sun after any laser. Bring your event date to your consultation.

Read more: Downtime Planner

Can I book a consultation without committing to treatment?

Yes. The consultation is for assessment and planning; there is no obligation to book treatment on the day.

Read more: Downtime Planner

Do you treat on Sundays?

The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 11am to 8pm, and closed on Sundays.

Read more: Downtime Planner

How far before an event should I have filler?

Usually at least two weeks for cheeks and chin, and around three weeks for lips, under-eyes and nose, because swelling and any bruise need time to settle and a review is often planned two to four weeks after. Timing for your face is decided at assessment.

Read more: Downtime Planner

Which treatments can I have a week before an event?

Generally only those with little visible downtime that you have had before without problems, such as a Hydrafacial, laser hair removal or, for some people, laser toning. The final week is usually kept for nothing new.

Read more: Downtime Planner

Can I have laser before a beach holiday?

Resurfacing lasers and peels are usually better planned after a beach holiday, because healing skin exposed to strong sun is more likely to darken, especially in skin types III to V. Gentle treatments may fit before; ask at assessment.

Dr Sin Yong Talks

What is an International Key Opinion Leader?

It is a role in which a device maker invites a physician to share clinical expertise with other doctors through talks, panels and live demonstrations. Dr Sin Yong holds this role with several manufacturers, including CLASSYS, DEKA, Fotona and HIRONIC. It reflects recognition of his clinical work by peers and industry; it does not predict the result of any individual treatment.

Read more: Dr Sin Yong Talks

What did Dr Sin Yong present in Bangkok in 2026?

At the 7th CLASSYS APAC Symposium in Bangkok in June 2026, he presented VF Lift – Vertical Facelift, his protocol on CLASSYS Volnewmer monopolar radiofrequency, delivered along planned vertical vectors. He also joined a panel discussion and received a CLASSYS KOL Award at the meeting.

Read more: Dr Sin Yong Talks

Is VF Lift – Vertical Facelift the same treatment patients receive at IN Eternity Clinic?

Yes. The protocol Dr Sin Yong presented to peers is the one he uses at IN Eternity Clinic, adjusted to each face at assessment. VF Lift – Vertical Facelift runs on Volnewmer and can also be customised for the body. Whether it suits you, and which zones are treated, is decided at consultation.

Read more: Dr Sin Yong Talks

Does Dr Sin Yong see patients himself?

Yes. Dr Sin Yong is Medical Director of IN Eternity Clinic and personally conducts consultations at 9 Scotts Road, Pacific Plaza. Treatments discussed in his talks are planned by him at the clinic. Appointments can be booked on WhatsApp at +65 8815 3008, Monday to Saturday, 11am to 8pm.

Read more: Dr Sin Yong Talks

Are all the platforms mentioned in the talks available at IN Eternity Clinic?

Not necessarily. Some talks discuss platforms in a broader clinical context. The treatments described on this website are the ones offered at IN Eternity Clinic, and Dr Sin Yong will tell you at assessment which option he recommends for you and why, including when a treatment is not the right fit.

What does DEKA Centre of Excellence mean?

IN Eternity Clinic was certified a DEKA Centre of Excellence by DEKA and NeoAsia in July 2026, recognising its work with DEKA lasers and body contouring. It is a designation from the manufacturer. It does not change how each treatment is approached: every plan still starts with a consultation and an assessment by Dr Sin Yong.

Dr Sin Yong, Medical Director

Is Dr Sin Yong a dermatologist?

No. Dr Sin Yong practises as an aesthetic doctor and is not on the specialist register for dermatology. He holds an MSc in Practical Dermatology from Cardiff University, which shapes how he diagnoses skin concerns such as melasma, scars and growths before treating them.

Read more: Dr Sin Yong, Medical Director

What does International Key Opinion Leader mean?

It means device makers such as CLASSYS, DEKA, Fotona, Hironic, Ilooda, Lutronic and Alma invite him to share his clinical expertise with other physicians, and consult him on how their platforms perform in practice. It is a professional working relationship, not an endorsement of a product for every patient.

Read more: Dr Sin Yong, Medical Director

Does Dr Sin Yong perform the treatments himself?

Dr Sin Yong sees you at consultation, examines you and sets the plan. Doctor-only procedures, such as injections, energy-based lifting and surgical-type procedures, are done by a doctor; some supportive sessions may be carried out by trained clinic staff under his direction. Your plan, including who will carry out each step, how many sessions are expected and what each costs, is explained at consultation before anything is booked. You are free to take the plan away and decide later.

First Aesthetic Consultation

How long is the first consultation?

Consultations typically take 30 to 45 minutes. That allows time for your medical history, clinical photographs, an examination and an unhurried discussion of the options. If you have several concerns, Dr Sin Yong may focus on the main one first and plan the others in stages, so that each decision is made with a clear picture.

Read more: First Aesthetic Consultation

Is there a consultation fee?

Yes, a consultation fee applies. The consultation fee is waived if you go ahead with any medical treatment. The fee is S$120; you can book on WhatsApp at +65 8815 3008. Treatment costs are set out separately in a written quote after assessment, so you know what each part of the plan covers before you decide.

Read more: First Aesthetic Consultation

Do I have to book treatment at the first visit?

No. The first visit is for assessment and advice. You leave with a written plan and quote and can decide later, ask more questions or seek another opinion. IN Eternity Clinic does not sell prepaid packages or time-limited deals, so there is no reason to decide on the spot.

Read more: First Aesthetic Consultation

Who will I see?

Dr Sin Yong, Medical Director of IN Eternity Clinic, personally conducts consultations. He examines you, explains the options and answers your questions. If treatment goes ahead, he sets the plan; doctor-only procedures are performed by a doctor, and some supportive sessions may be carried out by trained clinic staff under his direction. Clinic staff help with forms, clinical photographs and scheduling around your time with the doctor.

Read more: First Aesthetic Consultation

What should I bring?

A list of your medicines and supplements, details of any allergies, records or product names from previous aesthetic treatments if you have them, and older photographs of yourself if a change has happened over time. Come without make-up on the area if you can, or allow a few minutes to remove it at the clinic.

Read more: First Aesthetic Consultation

What if I am not suitable for a treatment?

Dr Sin Yong will tell you, and explain why. Sometimes another option would serve you better, sometimes the timing is wrong, for example during pregnancy or after recent isotretinoin (a prescription acne medicine), and sometimes the most useful advice is to wait. An honest “not now” is part of a careful consultation.

Read more: First Aesthetic Consultation

First Aesthetic Treatment Guide

What should I expect at my first time aesthetic treatment?

Expect a consultation first: a medical history, an examination, an explanation of the cause and options, the risks and a written plan with the cost. Treatment may follow on the same day only if it suits you. Afterwards you receive aftercare advice and a review date.

Read more: First Aesthetic Treatment Guide

What is a good first aesthetic treatment?

There is no single right first treatment; it depends on the concern. Sensible first steps are conservative and, where possible, reversible or short-acting, such as a modest anti-wrinkle treatment, a dissolvable hyaluronic acid filler in small amounts, a medical facial or cautious laser toning. The choice is made at assessment.

Read more: First Aesthetic Treatment Guide

How long does a first aesthetic consultation take?

At IN Eternity Clinic, consultations typically take 30 to 45 minutes, including the medical history, photographs taken with your consent, the examination and the written plan. Allow extra time if you might have treatment on the same day.

Read more: First Aesthetic Treatment Guide

Is it normal to feel nervous before a first treatment?

Yes. Knowing exactly what will happen, step by step, usually helps, as does asking about comfort and numbing in advance. A doctor should be happy to explain each stage, and you can stop or postpone at any point before treatment begins.

Read more: First Aesthetic Treatment Guide

Can I have more than one treatment on my first visit?

Sometimes, but a first visit is usually kept simple so that you can see how your skin responds and judge one result before adding another. Combinations are common later in a plan, in a planned order.

Read more: First Aesthetic Treatment Guide

Do I need to stop any medicines before a first treatment?

Some medicines and supplements affect bruising, healing or the timing of lasers and peels. Bring a full list to the consultation. Never stop a prescribed medicine without speaking to the doctor who prescribed it; the aesthetic doctor will advise on timing instead.

Read more: First Aesthetic Treatment Guide

How do I check that a clinic and doctor are qualified?

Check the clinic’s licence on HealthHub, the doctor on the Singapore Medical Council register, and the product on HSA Infosearch. SMC registration alone does not allow a doctor to perform aesthetic procedures; the SMC aesthetic practice guidelines also apply.

Read more: First Aesthetic Treatment Guide

What if I do not like the result of my first treatment?

Raise it at the review, with your photographs. Many first-treatment concerns are settled by time, as swelling resolves or collagen develops. Hyaluronic acid filler can be adjusted or dissolved; other treatments may need a different next step. This is one reason first treatments are kept conservative.

Read more: First Aesthetic Treatment Guide

How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

Which aesthetic treatment lasts the longest?

Treatments that remove or remodel a target, such as a completed laser hair removal course or scar resurfacing, tend to hold longest. Among injectables, biostimulators generally outlast hyaluronic acid fillers, which outlast anti-wrinkle injections. How long any result lasts varies between people.

Read more: How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

Why did my filler seem to wear off faster than expected?

Lips and other mobile areas break filler down faster, softer gels are absorbed sooner, and early swelling can make the first result look fuller than the settled one. Some gel can remain even when the change is no longer obvious, so it is reviewed before more is added.

Read more: How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

Do results last longer if I repeat treatment regularly?

For some treatments, yes: courses of skin boosters and biostimulators are designed to build on each other. For fillers, repeating on a fixed schedule can layer product, so at IN Eternity Clinic repeat treatment is decided at review against your baseline photographs.

Read more: How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

Does Singapore’s sun shorten aesthetic results?

Often, yes. Strong sun all year breaks down collagen and stimulates pigment, shortening lifting, skin booster and pigment results in particular. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, shade and a hat are the simplest way to protect what has been achieved.

Read more: How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

Does exercise or a fast metabolism make treatments wear off faster?

It is a common belief, but the evidence is limited. Muscle strength does influence anti-wrinkle injections, and large weight changes affect fillers and biostimulators. If a result seems short-lived, the plan is reviewed.

Read more: How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

How long does Profhilo last compared with Rejuran?

Both are built with a short course and then maintained, and neither has a single dependable duration. Profhilo mainly hydrates and firms; Rejuran supports repair of thin or scarred skin. Maintenance intervals are agreed at review rather than fixed in advance.

Read more: How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

Is a longer-lasting product always better?

No. Biostimulators last longer but cannot be dissolved, so they suit carefully planned structure. A hyaluronic acid filler wears off sooner but can be adjusted or dissolved, which matters in delicate areas such as the under-eyes and lips.

Read more: How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

Does pigmentation come back after pico laser?

It depends on the type. Sun spots and freckles that clear can stay clear, but new ones form with sun. Melasma tends to recur and is maintained with gentle sessions and daily protection. Post-acne marks fade, but new inflammation leaves new marks.

Read more: How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

How often do people come back for maintenance?

It varies by treatment and person. Anti-wrinkle injections are often repeated a few times a year; biostimulators, lifting and laser hair removal need less frequent upkeep. At IN Eternity Clinic the interval is agreed at review, based on how your result has held.

Read more: How Long Do Aesthetic Treatments Last? Singapore

Can I make anti-wrinkle injections last longer?

A dose suited to the strength of the muscle, waiting until movement has returned before repeating, and sun protection all help. Very small doses wear off sooner by design. Products sold to extend the effect have little reliable evidence behind them.

How We Consult

Will I be pressured to book a treatment?

No. You receive a written plan and an explanation of fees, and you are encouraged to take time to decide. Treatments are not pushed as bundles or time-limited offers, and leaving without booking is entirely fine. You can also take the plan to another doctor for a second opinion before deciding.

Read more: How We Consult

Who conducts the consultation?

Medical Director Dr Sin Yong. He takes your history, examines you, explains the options and writes the plan. There is no separate sales consultant. Questions after the consultation can be sent by WhatsApp and are answered with the doctor’s input.

Read more: How We Consult

Can I have treatment on the same day as my consultation?

Sometimes, for simple treatments that suit you after assessment. For anything substantial you are encouraged to take time to think first. Injectables and lasers are given only after examination and consent. Nothing is lost by taking time to decide.

Read more: How We Consult

What if I want a second opinion?

That is reasonable and welcome. Take your written plan to another doctor if you wish. A good plan should make sense to another clinician as well. If a second opinion raises questions, you are welcome to come back and discuss them with Dr Sin Yong.

Read more: How We Consult

How much does a consultation cost?

The consultation fee is confirmed when you book, and it is waived if you go ahead with any medical treatment. Treatment fees depend on the treatment, the area, the number of sessions and what is found on examination, and they are set out in the written plan so you can consider them at home.

JB Aesthetic Clinic vs Singapore

Is it safe to do aesthetic treatments in JB?

Careful, well-qualified doctors practise in Johor Bahru as in Singapore. Safety depends on the clinic’s licence, the doctor’s registration and credentials, genuine registered products and access to follow-up. Check these before booking, and plan who will see you if a problem appears after you are home.

Read more: JB Aesthetic Clinic vs Singapore

How do I check a clinic in Malaysia?

Ask for the clinic’s Ministry of Health registration, the doctor’s Malaysian Medical Council registration and practising certificate, and, for aesthetic procedures, the doctor’s credentialing for aesthetic practice. Ask which products and devices are used and whether they are registered in Malaysia.

Read more: JB Aesthetic Clinic vs Singapore

Is pico laser in Johor Bahru the same as in Singapore?

The technology can be the same, but results depend on the diagnosis, the device, the settings and aftercare. The main risk in Asian skin, post-inflammatory darkening, appears two to six weeks later, so plan follow-up and strict sun protection whichever side of the border you are treated.

Read more: JB Aesthetic Clinic vs Singapore

Can a Singapore clinic treat complications from treatment in JB?

Often, yes. A doctor in Singapore can assess and manage many complications. It is much easier when you bring records of the product, batch and device used, because treating an unknown product is harder.

Read more: JB Aesthetic Clinic vs Singapore

What should I bring back after treatment abroad?

A written record of what was done, the product name and batch number or filler sticker label, the device name for lasers, the doctor’s name and contact details, and any aftercare advice. Photographs from before treatment are also useful.

Read more: JB Aesthetic Clinic vs Singapore

Why is treatment cheaper in JB?

Prices in ringgit and lower operating costs often make treatment cheaper. A fair comparison includes the same product and amount, the same type of practitioner, travel time, follow-up visits and the cost of managing any complication at a distance.

Read more: JB Aesthetic Clinic vs Singapore

Which treatments carry more risk across a border?

Dermal fillers, especially in the nose, under the eyes and forehead, thread lifts, biostimulators and stronger pigment laser in darker skin types need more planning for follow-up, because complications can appear hours, weeks or months later.

Read more: JB Aesthetic Clinic vs Singapore

Does IN Eternity Clinic see people treated elsewhere?

Yes. Dr Sin Yong assesses people who have been treated elsewhere, in Singapore or abroad, including for concerns after previous treatment. Bringing your treatment records helps the assessment.

Read more: JB Aesthetic Clinic vs Singapore

Korea vs Singapore Aesthetic Treatments

Is it cheaper to do aesthetic treatments in Korea?

Prices vary in both countries and change with the clinic, product and number of treatments. Flights, accommodation, time off and any follow-up treatment at home also count. More important than headline cost are the product used, who performs it and how follow-up will work once you are back in Singapore.

Read more: Korea vs Singapore Aesthetic Treatments

Are Korean fillers and boosters available in Singapore?

Some are, if they are registered with the Health Sciences Authority. Others are registered only in Korea or other markets. A Singapore doctor can only use HSA-registered products, so a top-up with the identical product may not be possible here.

Read more: Korea vs Singapore Aesthetic Treatments

Can I fly straight after filler or laser?

Many people fly within a few days, but swelling, bruising and crusting usually peak early, and cabin air is dry. Avoiding a flight for the first day or two after treatment and arranging a review before you leave is sensible. Anything that breaks the skin also needs sun protection while travelling.

Read more: Korea vs Singapore Aesthetic Treatments

What records should I ask for after treatment abroad?

The product name and batch label, the volume used, where it was injected or which device and settings were used, the doctor’s name, and the aftercare instructions in English. Photographs of the product box help. These let your doctor at home plan safely.

Read more: Korea vs Singapore Aesthetic Treatments

What should I do if I have a problem after returning?

For sudden pain, skin colour change, blanching or any vision change after filler, seek medical help immediately. For lumps, prolonged swelling, redness or darkening, see a doctor promptly and bring your records. Early assessment usually makes management simpler, and photographs taken as the problem develops help the doctor understand how it has changed over time.

Will IN Eternity Clinic see me if I was treated in Korea?

Yes. Dr Sin Yong regularly assesses people treated elsewhere. He will review your records, examine the area and, for fillers, use ultrasound to locate the product before advising whether to wait, adjust, dissolve hyaluronic acid filler or refer. Bring any product labels or photographs you have.

Read more: Korea vs Singapore Aesthetic Treatments

How much does correction or follow-up cost in Singapore?

It depends on what was done, which product is present and what is needed: review only, dissolving, adjustment or a new treatment. A written estimate is given after assessment so you can decide with full information. Having records of the original treatment often shortens the assessment and makes the plan more precise.

Lutronic Clarity II

Is the Lutronic Clarity II available in Singapore?

Yes. The Lutronic Clarity II is available at IN Eternity Clinic, 9 Scotts Road, #12-01 Pacific Plaza, Singapore 228210, near Orchard MRT, where it is used for laser hair removal on the face, body and intimate areas. Treatment follows an assessment of skin type and hair by Dr Sin Yong.

Read more: Lutronic Clarity II

Who makes the Clarity II?

Clarity II is a Lutronic laser; its product page is now published by Cynosure Lutronic, and the Clarity II trademark belongs to Lutronic Corporation. The platform carries a 755 nm Alexandrite laser and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, with cryogen cooling and IntelliTrak roller delivery.

Read more: Lutronic Clarity II

How long do Clarity II laser hair removal results last?

It gives long-term hair reduction rather than removal of every hair. Most people see a large, lasting reduction after a course, and some need occasional maintenance, especially on the face or where hormones drive hair growth.

Read more: Lutronic Clarity II

How many Clarity II sessions will I need?

Most areas need about six to eight sessions, spaced about four to six weeks on the face and six to eight weeks on the body, because only hairs in the growth phase respond at each session. Facial and hormonally driven hair may need more.

Read more: Lutronic Clarity II

Does Clarity II laser hair removal hurt?

Most people describe a quick rubber-band snap followed by a cold spray from the cryogen cooling. Sensitive areas such as the upper lip and bikini line feel sharper, and numbing cream can be used there. Settings are adjusted for comfort during the session.

Read more: Lutronic Clarity II

Is the Clarity II safe for dark skin?

Yes, with the 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength, longer pulses and cryogen cooling, which together reduce the heat taken up by skin pigment. A recent tan is still a reason to wait or lower settings, and a test patch may be advised. Skin type is rechecked at every session.

Read more: Lutronic Clarity II

Alexandrite or Nd:YAG: which wavelength will I have?

The 755 nm Alexandrite suits lighter skin with finer hair; the 1064 nm Nd:YAG suits darker or tanned skin. Dr Sin Yong chooses per area and may use different wavelengths on different parts of the body. Firing both on the same area is not done routinely, as it adds side effects without adding benefit.

Read more: Lutronic Clarity II

Does the Clarity II help ingrown hairs?

Usually, yes. Fewer and finer hairs mean fewer hairs that can curl back into the skin, which can ease razor bumps on the beard area, neck and bikini line. Inflamed bumps are calmed first, and dark marks left behind are treated separately.

Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

How do I know if an aesthetic clinic is a licensed medical clinic?

Search the clinic’s name or address in the Ministry of Health’s online directory of licensed healthcare institutions, and look for the licence displayed at the clinic. A brand may trade under a different name from the licensed company, but the link should be easy to explain. IN Eternity Clinic is operated by EA Healthgroup Pte Ltd under MOH licence MDS/001/252.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

What is the difference between a medical aesthetic clinic and a spa?

A medical aesthetic clinic is licensed by MOH, led by registered doctors, and can diagnose, prescribe, perform injectables and medical lasers, and manage complications. A spa or salon provides beauty services delivered by therapists and is not licensed to provide medical treatment. Some treatments look similar in both settings, but the assessment, devices and safety systems differ.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Are lasers in aesthetic clinics regulated?

Yes. Lasers and other energy-based platforms are medical devices regulated by the Health Sciences Authority, and higher-powered medical lasers also need a licence under radiation protection rules. A clinic should be able to name the manufacturer and model of the device it uses and confirm it is a genuine, registered system.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Should a doctor perform my treatment?

Injectables are medical procedures performed by doctors. For lasers and other energy treatments, practice varies, so ask who will treat you and under what supervision. At IN Eternity Clinic, consultations are conducted by Dr Sin Yong personally, and medical procedures are carried out under his care.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

What happens if something goes wrong after treatment?

A medical clinic should have a protocol for complications, the medicines to treat them on site, such as hyaluronidase for hyaluronic acid filler, and a direct way to reach the clinic afterwards. You should know when you will be reviewed. Ask about this before treatment, not after.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

What does DEKA Centre of Excellence mean?

It is a designation given by DEKA, the Italian medical laser manufacturer, together with its Asia-Pacific distributor NeoAsia. IN Eternity Clinic was designated on 24 July 2026 in relation to its work with DEKA laser and body-contouring platforms. It recognises how the platforms are used and is not a promise of any particular result.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

How much does a consultation at a medical aesthetic clinic cost?

Fees vary between clinics. At IN Eternity Clinic, the consultation fee is waived with any medical treatment, and treatment costs are given in a written plan after assessment, before anything is booked. You can take the plan away and decide in your own time.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Can a beauty salon do injectables or medical lasers in Singapore?

No. Injectables such as anti-wrinkle injections and fillers are medical procedures performed by doctors, and higher-powered medical lasers need a radiation licence and are used in medical settings. Salons can offer facials and some light-based treatments. If a salon offers injections, that is a reason to walk away.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

How do I check a doctor’s registration in Singapore?

Search the doctor’s name on the Singapore Medical Council’s public register of medical practitioners, which shows registration and place of practice. For certain aesthetic procedures, doctors also need a certificate of competence under the aesthetic practice guidelines. Our page on aesthetic doctor in Singapore explains what to look for.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

What questions should I ask at an aesthetic consultation?

Ask what is causing your concern, what each option can and cannot change, who will perform the treatment, which product or device will be used and whether it is registered, what the risks and recovery are, what happens if something goes wrong, and what the written quote includes.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Do I need a consultation before an aesthetic treatment?

For medical treatments, yes. A doctor needs to examine you, confirm the diagnosis and check your health and medicines before prescribing or treating. At IN Eternity Clinic, treatment can sometimes follow on the same day if it suits you, but there is no pressure to decide on the spot.

Read more: Medical Aesthetic Clinic Singapore

Are aesthetic treatments covered by insurance or MediSave?

Cosmetic treatments are generally not claimable. Some procedures done for a medical reason, such as removing a lesion that needs laboratory examination, may be, depending on your insurer or scheme and the documentation. The written quote and any medical report can help with a claim. See claims and insurance for details.

Microblading vs Powder Brows vs Ombre Brows

Which lasts longer, microblading or powder brows?

Powder and ombre brows usually last longer, often two to three years, because shading fades evenly. Microblading strokes typically need a colour boost at about 12 to 18 months, sooner in oily skin.

Read more: Microblading vs Powder Brows vs Ombre Brows

Are powder brows and ombre brows the same?

They are closely related. Both use shading rather than strokes. Ombre brows add a gradient, lighter at the front and deeper towards the tail, which tends to look less drawn on.

Read more: Microblading vs Powder Brows vs Ombre Brows

Which brow technique suits oily skin?

Powder or ombre shading usually holds better on oily or large-pored skin, where fine microbladed strokes tend to blur and fade sooner. A combination brow with strokes only at the front is another option.

Read more: Microblading vs Powder Brows vs Ombre Brows

Is microblading suitable for mature skin?

Sometimes. Thin, less elastic skin holds crisp strokes less predictably, so light shading is often kinder. Grey brow hair and lower brow position also affect the plan, and old pigment is checked first.

Read more: Microblading vs Powder Brows vs Ombre Brows

Which brow technique looks more natural?

It depends on the person. Fine strokes look most like hair on suitable skin; soft ombre shading looks like well-applied brow make-up. On oily skin, healed ombre often looks more natural than blurred strokes.

Read more: Microblading vs Powder Brows vs Ombre Brows

Can I switch from microblading to powder brows later?

Usually, yes. Faded strokes are often blended into a combination or ombre brow. Going from heavy shading back to crisp strokes is harder and may need laser lightening first.

Read more: Microblading vs Powder Brows vs Ombre Brows

Do powder brows hurt less than microblading?

Many people find machine shading slightly more comfortable than hand-tool strokes, but both are uncomfortable rather than very painful with numbing cream, and sensitivity varies.

Read more: Microblading vs Powder Brows vs Ombre Brows

Why do my powder brows look so dark after the first session?

Fresh shading looks bolder than it will heal. A good part of the colour lifts away with the flakes between days five and ten, and the true shade shows at around four to six weeks.

New Aesthetic Treatments Watchlist 2027

What does “watching” mean on this list?

It means the clinic is following the published evidence, Singapore registration status and real-world experience with the treatment, but does not currently provide it. A watched treatment may move to offering, or to not offering, at a later quarterly review, depending on what the evidence shows.

Read more: New Aesthetic Treatments Watchlist 2027

Why doesn’t the clinic offer every new treatment?

Many new treatments overlap with established ones, and early evidence is often limited to small or sponsored studies. Adding a device or product is worthwhile only if it meets a need existing treatments do not, can be used safely, and is registered in Singapore.

Read more: New Aesthetic Treatments Watchlist 2027

How often is this list updated?

It is reviewed quarterly by Dr Sin Yong. The date of the last review and the next planned review are shown in the key facts near the top of the page. Statuses can change between reviews if a product’s registration or evidence changes significantly.

Read more: New Aesthetic Treatments Watchlist 2027

Is Sofwave available at IN Eternity Clinic?

Not at present; it is on the watching list. The clinic offers other lifting and tightening options, including Thermage, Ultraformer MPT focused ultrasound and VF Lift – Vertical Facelift on Volnewmer, which Dr Sin Yong can compare for you at consultation according to your skin and goals.

Read more: New Aesthetic Treatments Watchlist 2027

Are new treatments riskier than established ones?

Not necessarily, but there is usually less long-term data and less shared experience of how complications behave and how they are managed. Early studies are often small. That uncertainty is part of why the clinic watches a treatment for a while before deciding whether to adopt it.

Read more: New Aesthetic Treatments Watchlist 2027

Can I request a treatment that is not offered?

You can ask about anything. Dr Sin Yong will explain what it is, what evidence exists and whether a treatment already available would meet the same goal. He will not recommend a treatment simply because it is new or requested, and may suggest another clinic where appropriate.

Read more: New Aesthetic Treatments Watchlist 2027

Our Doctors

Who will see me at IN Eternity Clinic?

Consultations are conducted by Medical Director Dr Sin Yong. He examines you, explains the options and their limits, and writes the plan. If you have a preference about which doctor you see, mention it when booking. Consultations end with a written plan, and you can take time to consider it before booking any treatment.

Read more: Our Doctors

How can I check a doctor’s registration?

The Singapore Medical Council publishes a searchable online register of medical practitioners. Search by the doctor’s name to see their registration details. Every doctor practising in Singapore must be registered. It is reasonable to ask a clinic who will perform your treatment and to check that person before you book.

What does International Key Opinion Leader mean?

It means a device manufacturer works with the doctor on how its platforms perform in clinical practice, and invites the doctor to share clinical expertise with other physicians at meetings and symposia. It is not a product endorsement for any individual patient.

Read more: Our Doctors

Which languages are consultations in?

Consultations are in English or Mandarin. If you would be more comfortable in another language, mention it when you book and the clinic will tell you what can be arranged. You are also welcome to bring a family member or friend to help with translation and to take part in the discussion.

Read more: Our Doctors

How much does a consultation with the doctor cost?

The clinic will confirm the consultation fee when you book; it is waived if you go ahead with any medical treatment. Treatment fees depend on the concern, the area, the number of sessions and what is found on examination, and they are explained in writing after the consultation rather than quoted in advance.

Read more: Our Doctors

Where has Dr Sin Yong been invited to share his clinical expertise?

At meetings organised by device makers in Singapore and abroad, including ILOODA in Seoul and Dubai (2024), DEKA and HIRONIC in Singapore and CLASSYS in Seoul (2025), and HIRONIC in Seoul and the CLASSYS APAC International Symposium in Bangkok (2026).

Is Dr Sin Yong a plastic surgery specialist?

No. Dr Sin Yong is an aesthetic physician. His MRCS is a membership qualification of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, not specialist accreditation in plastic surgery. When surgery would serve you better, he says so and refers.

Patient Guides

What should I expect before an aesthetic treatment?

A consultation in which Dr Sin Yong takes your medical history, examines the area and explains the options with their effects, risks and alternatives. Clinical photographs are taken with your consent. You receive a written plan and quote and can decide then or later. Consent is signed only once your questions have been answered.

Read more: Patient Guides

It means agreeing to a specific procedure after you understand what it involves, what it can and cannot achieve, the common effects, the rare serious risks and the alternatives, including no treatment. The Singapore Medical Council expects doctors to give patients enough information, in a way they can understand, to make that decision freely.

Read more: Patient Guides

Yes. Consent can be withdrawn at any point before treatment begins, and you can ask to stop a session if you are uncomfortable. If you are unsure on the day, it is better to say so. The plan can be revisited at another visit, without pressure and without any change to the advice you were given.

Read more: Patient Guides

What should I tell the doctor before treatment?

Your medicines and supplements, especially blood thinners and isotretinoin (a prescription acne medicine); allergies; pregnancy or breastfeeding; any history of cold sores, keloid scars or poor healing; autoimmune conditions; previous fillers, threads or surgery in the area; and recent treatments elsewhere. Each of these can change what is suitable, and when.

Read more: Patient Guides

Why might a treatment be declined?

Because it is unlikely to help, because the timing is wrong, or because another option would serve you better. Examples include active infection in the area, pregnancy, recent isotretinoin before certain lasers, or an expectation that a treatment cannot realistically meet. Declining is part of a careful consultation, not a refusal to help.

Read more: Patient Guides

Are these guides a substitute for a consultation?

No. They explain the general pattern for each family of treatments so that you can arrive at the consultation with better questions. Your own plan depends on your skin, anatomy, medical history and goals, and is set out by Dr Sin Yong in person after he has examined you.

Pregnancy-Safe Skincare and Treatments

Is it safe to have a facial during pregnancy?

A gentle cleansing and hydrating facial is generally considered acceptable. Avoid facials that include chemical peels, retinoids, high-strength acids, microneedling, lasers, radiofrequency or other energy. Tell the person treating you that you are pregnant, ask for the products to be checked, and ask to be propped up rather than lying flat for long periods later in pregnancy.

Read more: Pregnancy-Safe Skincare and Treatments

Can I have anti-wrinkle injections while breastfeeding?

Botulinum toxin is a large molecule and is unlikely to reach breast milk in meaningful amounts, but there are few studies, and manufacturers do not recommend use while breastfeeding. For that reason IN Eternity Clinic usually defers anti-wrinkle injections until you have stopped breastfeeding. Your doctor can explain how this applies to your own situation and timing.

Read more: Pregnancy-Safe Skincare and Treatments

Which skincare should I stop when I find out I am pregnant?

Stop topical retinoids such as tretinoin, adapalene and retinol, hydroquinone, and prescription acne or pigment medicines unless your doctor has advised otherwise. Oral isotretinoin and spironolactone should be stopped and the prescribing doctor told straight away. Keep gentle cleansing, moisturiser and sunscreen. Bring your products to the clinic if you are unsure about any of them.

Read more: Pregnancy-Safe Skincare and Treatments

Is sunscreen safe in pregnancy?

Yes, and it matters more than usual, because pregnancy hormones make pigment cells more reactive, which is why melasma often appears. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are a common choice, and a tinted product that also blocks visible light helps with melasma. Shade, a hat and avoiding midday heat add to the protection.

Read more: Pregnancy-Safe Skincare and Treatments

When can I restart treatments after giving birth?

It depends on the treatment and whether you are breastfeeding. Gentle facials and skincare can usually resume soon after delivery. Facial lasers may be considered after your postnatal check. Body contouring waits until the abdomen has healed and your weight is stable, and injectables are usually deferred until breastfeeding ends. Dr Sin Yong sets the timing with you.

Read more: Pregnancy-Safe Skincare and Treatments

What if I had a treatment before I knew I was pregnant?

This happens and is rarely a cause for alarm, because most aesthetic treatments act locally in the skin. Tell your obstetrician what was done and when, and let the clinic know so that any further sessions are stopped. Your obstetrician can put the exposure into context for your pregnancy and answer any specific worries.

Can we use photographs from the website?

Please request approved photographs by email rather than taking images from the website. The clinic will supply suitable images for editorial use with credit instructions. Website images may include licensed or illustrative material that is not cleared for reuse, so supplied images are the safe choice.

Read more: Press and Media Kit

How should Dr Sin Yong be described?

As an aesthetic physician and Medical Director of IN Eternity Clinic. His qualifications are MBBS (NUS), MRCS (Edinburgh), MSc Aesthetic Medicine (University of London), MSc Practical Dermatology (Cardiff University) and a Graduate Diploma in Sports Medicine. Please describe him as an aesthetic physician rather than a specialist, and refer to the clinic as IN Eternity Clinic.

Was the Sassy Mama listing paid?

Yes. The Sassy Mama Singapore feature on medical aesthetic clinics in August 2026 was a paid partnership, and it is listed here with that disclosure. The NüYou feature was editorial commentary. The clinic discloses paid placements so that readers can weigh them appropriately.

Read more: Press and Media Kit

Can the clinic provide treatment prices for an article?

Fees depend on the treatment, area, number of sessions and what is found at consultation, so the clinic does not provide fixed figures for publication. Dr Sin Yong can explain the factors that affect cost for a given treatment. Written fees are given to each patient after assessment.

Does IN Eternity Clinic have data journalists can use?

Yes. The Singapore Aesthetic Price Index lists other clinics’ published prices with sources, and the 2026 search trends study gives monthly search volumes for aesthetic treatments in Singapore. Both are free to cite with a link.

Questions to Ask Your Aesthetic Doctor

How many questions should I ask at an aesthetic consultation?

As many as you need to be able to explain the plan back in your own words. For a first injectable or laser treatment, the questions on the doctor, the product, the risks and the total cost matter most. A good consultation leaves time for questions rather than rushing to treatment.

Read more: Questions to Ask Your Aesthetic Doctor

Is it rude to ask to see the product box before treatment?

No. Seeing the sealed pack opened in front of you and having the batch label recorded in your notes is standard good practice. A clinic that welcomes the request is showing you exactly what you are paying for and making the product traceable if a question arises later.

Read more: Questions to Ask Your Aesthetic Doctor

What does a good answer about risks sound like?

Specific and calm. It names the common side effects and how long they usually last, the rare serious risks and how they are recognised and treated, and what in your own history changes the risk. Vague reassurance that a treatment is completely safe is not an answer.

Read more: Questions to Ask Your Aesthetic Doctor

What should I write down during the consultation?

The doctor’s name, the product or device and amount proposed, the number of sessions and interval, the main risks discussed, aftercare points, the review date, the total cost and who to contact afterwards. Ticking this checklist as you go covers most of it.

Read more: Questions to Ask Your Aesthetic Doctor

Should I get a written quote before any treatment?

Yes. A written, itemised estimate for the whole plan, including what is and is not included, lets you compare like with like and avoids surprises. Per-session prices can look low while the full course costs considerably more.

Read more: Questions to Ask Your Aesthetic Doctor

What if the doctor cannot or will not answer my questions?

Then it is reasonable not to go ahead that day. Unclear answers about who treats you, which product is used, or what happens if something goes wrong are worth more weight than a polished clinic or a time-limited price. You can always seek a second opinion.

Read more: Questions to Ask Your Aesthetic Doctor

Can I bring this checklist to IN Eternity Clinic?

Yes. Print it or keep it open on your phone. Dr Sin Yong expects questions at consultation, and any that are not covered on the day can be followed up on WhatsApp during clinic hours at +65 8815 3008.

Read more: Questions to Ask Your Aesthetic Doctor

Do I need to ask all of these for a simple laser or facial treatment?

No. For lower-risk treatments, the questions about who performs it, the device, your skin type and pigment risk, aftercare and total cost are usually enough. The full list is most useful before injectables, threads and resurfacing.

Read more: Questions to Ask Your Aesthetic Doctor

References

Why does an aesthetic clinic publish a references page?

So that what the site says can be checked. Each clinical page cites its sources, and this page gathers them in one place for readers, students and writers, with links to the original papers and to the pages that cite them.

Read more: References

Are the studies about IN Eternity Clinic’s results?

No. They are published studies and regulator documents about how treatments work, their risks and their evidence. They do not describe any individual patient, and they are not a promise of any result.

Reviews and Patient Feedback

How quickly will the clinic reply?

The clinic aims to acknowledge every message within one business day. A full reply may take longer if records need to be reviewed or if Dr Sin Yong wants to examine the area first, and you will be told when to expect it.

Read more: Reviews and Patient Feedback

Will the doctor see my complaint?

Yes, if it concerns a treatment, a result or a side effect. Dr Sin Yong reviews clinical concerns personally and usually offers a review appointment so the area can be examined rather than judged from a message. Records and photographs from your treatment are reviewed beforehand so the discussion is based on facts rather than memory.

Read more: Reviews and Patient Feedback

Can I leave a review on Google?

Yes. Search for IN Eternity Clinic on Google Maps to find the clinic’s Google Business Profile. Reviews are welcome whether positive or negative, and the clinic does not offer incentives for leaving them. When the clinic replies publicly, it does not discuss any clinical details, to protect patient confidentiality.

Read more: Reviews and Patient Feedback

Why are there no patient reviews on this website?

Singapore’s rules on medical advertising do not allow clinics to publish patient endorsements, because one person’s experience does not predict another’s result. Independent reviews can be read on Google instead. You are welcome to read them before booking, and to ask the doctor any questions they raise for you at consultation.

Read more: Reviews and Patient Feedback

What if I have a problem outside opening hours?

The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 11am to 8pm, and closed on Sunday. If you have urgent symptoms such as severe pain, skin colour change or vision change after an injectable outside these hours, go to the nearest emergency department and contact the clinic as soon as it opens.

Read more: Reviews and Patient Feedback

Will raising a concern affect my future care?

No. Feedback, including complaints, is used to improve care and is handled confidentially. Raising a concern with the clinic, the Singapore Medical Council or the Ministry of Health does not affect the care you receive. You will continue to be offered review appointments and aftercare in the usual way.

Sebaceous Cyst

What are sebaceous cysts?

An epidermoid cyst is a sac lined with epidermis, filled with keratin. The contents are not the problem — the wall is.

Read more: Sebaceous Cyst

How are sebaceous cysts told apart from similar conditions?

Squeezing empties the cavity and leaves the lining intact, so it refills. Incision and drainage relieves pressure but does not resolve the cyst. Only removal of the wall does.

Read more: Sebaceous Cyst

What is assessed before treating sebaceous cysts?

Size, site, whether it is currently inflamed or infected, previous rupture, and scarring from earlier attempts.

Read more: Sebaceous Cyst

When is treatment deferred?

A cyst that is red, hot, painful or discharging is treated as inflammation first. Cosmetic considerations wait.

Read more: Sebaceous Cyst

Can I squeeze a sebaceous cyst at home?

It is not advised. Squeezing can rupture the wall into the surrounding skin, which causes inflammation and makes later removal harder. It also leaves the lining in place, so the cyst refills.

Read more: Sebaceous Cyst

Are sebaceous cysts dangerous?

Most are benign. A lump that is hard, fixed, growing quickly or different from a typical cyst is examined before treatment, and sent for testing if there is any doubt.

Read more: Sebaceous Cyst

Will a sebaceous cyst go away on its own?

Small cysts sometimes shrink, and some stay the same size for years, but the sac usually remains and can refill or become inflamed. A cyst that does not bother you can be left alone; removal of the whole sac is the only way to resolve it.

Read more: Sebaceous Cyst

What happens if a sebaceous cyst bursts?

The contents leak into the surrounding skin, which often causes painful redness and swelling. Keep it clean, apply warm compresses and do not squeeze. See a doctor if it is very painful, spreading or you feel unwell. Removal is planned once it has settled.

Read more: Sebaceous Cyst

Does sebaceous cyst removal hurt?

Local anaesthetic is injected first. It stings for a few seconds; after that you should feel pressure and movement but not pain. The area may ache for a day or two afterwards.

Read more: Sebaceous Cyst

How much does sebaceous cyst removal cost in Singapore?

Cost depends on the size, number and site of the cysts, whether inflammation must settle first, the technique and laboratory testing. It is set out after examination. At IN Eternity Clinic the consultation fee is S$120, waived with any medical treatment.

Sebaceous Hyperplasia Removal Singapore

What is sebaceous hyperplasia?

Enlarged sebaceous glands presenting as small, soft, yellowish papules with a central dimple — most often on the forehead and cheeks.

Read more: Sebaceous Hyperplasia Removal Singapore

How is sebaceous hyperplasia told apart from similar conditions?

Commonly confused with milia, which are white and have no central dimple, and occasionally with basal cell carcinoma — the reason a persistent solitary lesion is examined rather than treated blind.

Read more: Sebaceous Hyperplasia Removal Singapore

What is assessed before treating sebaceous hyperplasia?

Colour, the presence of a central umbilication, number and distribution, and whether any single lesion looks different from the rest.

Read more: Sebaceous Hyperplasia Removal Singapore

When is treatment deferred?

A single enlarging, pearly or bleeding lesion is not treated as sebaceous hyperplasia until it has been properly assessed.

Read more: Sebaceous Hyperplasia Removal Singapore

Is sebaceous hyperplasia a skin cancer?

No. It is a benign enlargement of an oil gland. The reason a single lesion is checked is that early basal cell carcinoma can look similar, especially if it is pearly, growing or bleeding. A dermatoscope examination usually distinguishes them; if there is doubt, a sample is sent for testing before any cosmetic treatment.

Read more: Sebaceous Hyperplasia Removal Singapore

Can I squeeze sebaceous hyperplasia out?

No. Unlike a blackhead or milium, there is nothing trapped to squeeze; the bump is the gland itself. Squeezing only inflames it and can leave a mark. Removal needs a controlled method such as pinpoint CO2 laser or fine electrocautery.

Will removing sebaceous hyperplasia leave a scar?

With conservative settings, most treated spots heal flat with little visible trace. A small shallow dent or temporary darkening is possible, more so in darker skin or with large lesions. Treating in stages and protecting the area from sun while it heals lowers that risk.

How much does sebaceous hyperplasia removal cost?

Cost depends on the number and size of lesions, the method used and whether more than one session is needed. A few small bumps take less time than many across the forehead and cheeks. The plan and cost are explained after examination at IN Eternity Clinic.

Is sebaceous hyperplasia the same as milia?

No. Sebaceous hyperplasia is an enlarged oil gland, yellowish with a central dimple. Milia are tiny white keratin cysts with no opening. They are treated differently.

Does sebaceous hyperplasia mean my skin is too oily?

Not exactly. Oily skin is one risk factor, but the bumps come mainly from age-related slowing of gland turnover, sun damage and family tendency. Oil-control skincare does not shrink a gland that has already enlarged.

Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

What is seborrhoeic keratosis?

A benign proliferation of keratinocytes with a characteristically stuck-on appearance, as though it could be lifted off with a fingernail.

Read more: Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

How is seborrhoeic keratosis told apart from similar conditions?

Frequently mistaken for a mole because of the colour, and for a wart because of the texture. It is neither — and pigmented examples can mimic more serious lesions, which is why it is examined rather than assumed.

Read more: Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

What is assessed before treating seborrhoeic keratosis?

Border definition, surface character, colour variation, and whether the lesion has changed. Dermoscopy is used where the picture is not clear-cut.

Read more: Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

When is treatment deferred?

A sudden eruption of many lesions, or any lesion that is changing, is evaluated before cosmetic removal.

Read more: Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

Is seborrhoeic keratosis a type of skin cancer?

No. Seborrhoeic keratosis is a benign growth of surface skin cells and does not turn into cancer. The reason it is checked first is that some pigmented examples look like other lesions, including melanoma or pigmented basal cell carcinoma. A dermatoscope examination at the visit usually settles this; if not, a sample is sent to a laboratory.

Read more: Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

Do seborrhoeic keratoses come back after removal?

A properly removed lesion rarely recurs in the same place, though a thick one may need a small touch-up. The tendency to form them is linked to age, genes and sun, so new ones can appear elsewhere over the years. Many people plan a check every year or two and have new ones treated while they are small.

Read more: Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

Are the small dark bumps on my cheeks the same thing?

Small, multiple dark bumps on the cheeks and around the eyes in darker skin are often dermatosis papulosa nigra, a close relative of seborrhoeic keratosis. They are harmless and can be removed with fine cautery or laser using conservative settings. Dr Sin Yong confirms which it is at assessment.

Read more: Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

How much does seborrhoeic keratosis removal cost?

Cost depends on how many lesions are removed, their size and site, the method used and whether a laboratory check is needed. Treating one small lesion differs from treating many across the face and body. The plan and cost are set out after examination, before removal is done.

Read more: Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

Can seborrhoeic keratosis be removed with creams?

Over-the-counter creams and scrubs do not reliably remove it, because the growth is a thickened block of skin cells rather than a surface stain. Picking or scraping at home can cause bleeding, infection and marks. In-clinic removal is quicker and more controlled.

Read more: Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Singapore

Is it normal to have many seborrhoeic keratoses?

Yes. Many people develop dozens over the years, especially on the trunk and face. What is not typical is a sudden eruption of many new lesions over weeks, which is assessed medically rather than treated cosmetically.

Singapore Aesthetic Price Index (Q4 2026)

What is the Singapore Aesthetic Price Index?

A quarterly table of the prices Singapore clinics publish on their own websites for 41 aesthetic treatments, quoted word for word with the clinic name, a link and the date each line was read. The Q4 2026 edition covers 173 lines from 21 clinics and studios.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Price Index (Q4 2026)

Are these IN Eternity Clinic’s prices?

No. The index lists other clinics’ published prices only. The one IN Eternity figure on this page is the S$120 consultation fee, waived with any medical treatment. Treatment fees at IN Eternity are given in writing after assessment.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Price Index (Q4 2026)

Why are so many prices “from” prices?

A “from” price is the smallest version of a treatment: one area, one syringe or the lowest number of shots. Most plans involve more than that, so the figure is a floor rather than a quote.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Price Index (Q4 2026)

Do the prices include GST?

It depends on the clinic. Some pages state that prices are before GST and some include it. The note beside each line records what the page said; where nothing was stated, the figure is shown as printed.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Price Index (Q4 2026)

How often is the index updated?

Quarterly. Each edition re-reads every source page and updates the wording and read date of any line that has changed. The next edition is planned for January 2027.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Price Index (Q4 2026)

Why is the lowest listed price not what I will pay?

Units, the amount of product, the number of sessions and the device all change the total, and published figures are often for the smallest unit. A written plan after assessment is the only reliable cost for your own treatment.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Price Index (Q4 2026)

Can I use or cite the data?

Yes. Please cite the edition and link to this page so that readers can check the read dates. The citation and link code are in the section above.

How can a clinic correct a line?

Email globalkol@ineternityclinic.com with the link to your own published price page. The line is re-read and corrected in the next edition; only prices printed on the clinic’s own website are used.

Singapore Aesthetic Treatment Price Guide 2026

Why are some advertised prices much lower than others?

Low first-visit prices usually cover a single, limited session or area, and may use a different product, energy level or amount from the standard treatment. Compare the whole plan: who treats you, what product, how much, how many sessions and whether GST is included.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Treatment Price Guide 2026

Does MediSave or insurance cover aesthetic treatments?

Generally not. Treatments done for appearance are not usually claimable, although some medically necessary procedures may be. Coverage depends on the scheme and insurer; see the clinic’s MediSave and insurance claims FAQ.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Treatment Price Guide 2026

Why does IN Eternity Clinic not list its own prices here?

Because treatment is planned by the doctor after assessment, and the right plan differs from person to person. The plan and its cost are set out before anything is agreed. The consultation fee is S$120, waived with any medical treatment.

Ahrefs search data for Singapore points to regenerative PDRN and polynucleotide boosters, PDLLA collagen boosters such as Juvelook, image-guided ultrasound lifting such as Ultherapy Prime, skin boosters in general, and pico laser for pigment. PDRN searches grew about 44% year on year. Interest is rising, but each treatment suits some people and not others.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Trends 2027

What is PDRN?

Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a mixture of DNA fragments usually derived from salmon. It acts on adenosine A2A receptors, a pathway linked with tissue repair and reduced inflammation, and has a history of use in wound healing. In aesthetics it is used to support skin quality and repair. It is not a filler and does not add volume.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Trends 2027

Is Juvelook right for me?

Juvelook combines PDLLA microspheres with hyaluronic acid to prompt collagen gradually. It may suit people wanting a slow improvement in skin quality and fine texture. It is not suited to anyone wanting immediate volume, and PDLLA cannot be dissolved. At IN Eternity Clinic, Dr Sin Yong will tell you at assessment which option he recommends and why.

Read more: Singapore Aesthetic Trends 2027

What is the difference between Ultherapy and Ultherapy Prime?

Both use micro-focused ultrasound to create small heating points in deeper layers such as the SMAS. Ultherapy Prime is the newer system, with updated real-time imaging so the target layer can be seen before energy is delivered. The lifting mechanism is the same; the difference is in visualisation. Suitability depends on laxity, skin thickness and expectations.

Because pigment is a common concern in Singapore, and picosecond pulses break pigment mainly by a pressure effect rather than heat, which matters for Asian skin prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation. It is not one treatment: toning, spot removal and tattoo removal use different settings, and melasma needs a cautious plan.

No. A trend shows what people are curious about. Whether a treatment suits you depends on your skin, anatomy, history and goals. A useful approach is to bring the trending name to a consultation and ask what it does, what it does not do, and what the alternatives are.

Where does the search data come from?

From Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, using the Singapore database. Figures are Ahrefs’ estimates of monthly search volume as of October 2026, with the year-on-year change for PDRN. They are estimates, they include brand searches, and they measure interest rather than the number of treatments performed.

What is the most searched aesthetic treatment in Singapore?

In this October 2026 Ahrefs data, “pico laser” is the largest single term, at about 6,200 searches a month, followed by “Rejuran” (4,800) and “PDRN” (3,800). Volumes are estimates for Google in Singapore.

Does IN Eternity Clinic offer every treatment listed?

No. Terms marked with an asterisk, such as yellow laser, Linerase, CoolSculpting, fat freezing and Emsculpt, are for treatments IN Eternity Clinic does not offer. They are included because the study describes searches, and their links go to comparison pages.

Singapore vs Bangkok or KL for Aesthetics

Is it safe to get fillers in Bangkok or Malaysia?

Many people are treated safely there by registered doctors. Risk rises when the product cannot be verified, the injector is not a doctor, review is not possible, or several treatments are combined. If you go, verify the doctor, keep the product label, and arrange a review before you leave.

Read more: Singapore vs Bangkok or KL for Aesthetics

Why does product registration matter?

A product registered with Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority has been assessed for use here. Products used abroad may be registered only in that country. If a top-up or correction is needed later, your Singapore doctor needs to know exactly what was used, and may not be able to use the same product.

Read more: Singapore vs Bangkok or KL for Aesthetics

How soon after treatment can I travel back?

For many non-injectable treatments, the same or next day is possible. After fillers, threads or ablative lasers, staying a few days for a review is wiser, because swelling, bruising and early problems are easier to manage on the spot. Ask the treating doctor before booking flights.

Read more: Singapore vs Bangkok or KL for Aesthetics

Will a Singapore doctor treat a problem from a treatment abroad?

Yes. Dr Sin Yong regularly assesses people treated elsewhere. He reviews your records, examines the area and, for fillers, uses ultrasound to see what is present. He then advises whether to wait, adjust, dissolve hyaluronic acid filler or refer for another opinion.

Read more: Singapore vs Bangkok or KL for Aesthetics

How do I check that a clinic abroad is legitimate?

Ask for the clinic’s licensed name and the treating doctor’s full name, then check them with that country’s medical council or health ministry. Ask whether the product is registered locally and request the sealed box. Be cautious of anyone who cannot provide these details in writing.

Read more: Singapore vs Bangkok or KL for Aesthetics

How much does treatment in Singapore cost compared with abroad?

This guide deliberately does not compare prices. Costs in Singapore depend on the treatment, the product, the amount needed and the number of sessions, and are explained in writing after assessment. When comparing, include travel, time off, review visits and the cost of correcting any problem.

Video Pre-Consultation on WhatsApp

Is the video pre-consultation with the doctor?

Yes. Consultations at IN Eternity Clinic, including video pre-consultations, are conducted by Medical Director Dr Sin Yong. The clinic team arranges the time and sends any forms; the clinical conversation is with the doctor. He will tell you on the call what can usefully be decided remotely and what needs to wait until he can examine you in person.

Read more: Video Pre-Consultation on WhatsApp

Can I be prescribed anti-wrinkle injections or filler after a video call?

No. Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine and fillers are medical devices that must be placed by a doctor. Both require an in-person examination, a review of your history and consent. Nothing is prescribed, dispensed or posted after a video call.

Read more: Video Pre-Consultation on WhatsApp

Can a mole or skin growth be diagnosed on video?

No. A video call can help decide how soon a growth should be seen, but diagnosis needs close examination and dermoscopy in person. Anything that is changing, bleeding or new after the age of forty should be examined promptly rather than discussed on a screen.

Read more: Video Pre-Consultation on WhatsApp

How much does a video pre-consultation cost?

The clinic will tell you at booking whether a fee applies and how it relates to an in-person consultation. Treatment fees depend on the area, the number of sessions and what is found on examination, so they are given in writing after the in-person assessment rather than estimated on video.

Read more: Video Pre-Consultation on WhatsApp

What should I prepare for the call?

A quiet place with daylight, a stable phone, a list of your medicines and supplements, any allergies, and records or photos of previous treatments if you have them. Remove makeup from the area you want to discuss if you can.

Read more: Video Pre-Consultation on WhatsApp

Can I have the call from overseas?

Yes. Many people arrange the call before travelling so the in-person visit can be planned around their dates. Treatment itself takes place at the clinic on Scotts Road, and timing around flights is discussed on the call. Let the clinic know your time zone when booking so the call can be set at a sensible hour for you.
