It has been a great year so far. Many thanks to all my patients who have entrusted their care in my hands. It has been a pleasure treating everyone, going through your symptoms and watching those pathology slowly resolve as we revisit them every so often.
It has also been an absolute joy to see the effects of the fillers or lasers. An absolute joy to hear your stories on how the little things I've done has changed your lives.
I look forward to 2015! Stay beautiful, stay young!

Pigmentmented spots over the face
Was doing some research on the web regarding the recent increase in pigmented lesions over the face that I have been seeing, to get myself up to date on the latest treatment options.
After reading through some clinical papers, I came across this article in the Annals of Dermatology
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2861240/
Figure 2.
Figure 2 from their article showed
(A) A 27-year-old female with ABNOM before treatment. (B) Improvement in ABNOM after three QSNYL treatments. Results were excellent, with a 75~100% reduction in colour.
Basically these women were treated with Q-switch laser. Similar to what we have at The Clifford Clinic.
(1,064 nm, 3 mm spot size, fluence 8~9.5 J/cm2) and they were treated for up to 10 sessions each.
Results - 66% showed excellent or good results. Of the patients who were treated more than 3 times, 76% showed good to excellent results. Two patients experienced post-laser hyperpigmentation (PLH), which persisted for more than one month, but no patient experienced persistent erythema or hypertrophic scarring.
Results from this proved encouraging. Their energy for the laser used is definitely similar although there are some small differences. No doubt they have been achieving similar results to what we have here in Singapore.

What makes my day...
I met a few patients from my previous company who came to visit me!! It bring me such great joy to see them.. more importantly because these patients have somewhat became my friends and there has been a serious of unfortunate circumstances which is why I am now in The Clifford Clinic.

The Clifford Clinic is actually started by my mentor Dr Chow and myself. As to why this sudden weird arrangement and why the awkwardness at TCS? Well.. I guess when this entire saga is eventually over, I will find the time to explain to those who are keen to find out more personally.
Till then, I hope all my patients are fine and well and I hope to see you all again soon.

TCS Aesthetics @ Central
It has been a difficult month for me and I would like to use this opportunity to apologize to all my patients at TCS Aesthetics at Central who have been under my care. Sorry for the abrupt absence. Some of you may have seen it coming but I am sure to many of the rest this may have been very sudden. I am sure someone else would have taken over your care and I hope that the new doctor takes care of you as much as I previously have or at least tried to.
Nevertheless, to those who are looking for me, I am now practicing at The Clifford Clinic. 24 Raffles Place #01-03 Clifford Centre Singapore 048621. Tel 65322400. Feel free to contact the clinic and I will be happy to see you.
