A neutral, editorial directory of notable aesthetic doctors practising in Singapore, grouped by sub-specialty to help you find the right expertise. This is not a ranking and not a paid listing.
How we compiled this directory
We list established, currently-practising aesthetic doctors with a clear public professional footprint, chosen to cover the main areas of medical aesthetics care — not by who pays. Profiles are compiled from public sources and we omit ratings and prices, which we cannot independently verify. This is an independent editorial selection, not an advertisement — see our editorial policy. Always verify a doctor’s current registration on the SMC public register and choose based on your own needs, your GP’s referral and your insurance.

How to choose
- Aesthetic doctors are registered medical practitioners, not a specialty on the SMC specialist register. For surgical procedures (e.g. facelift, liposuction), see an accredited plastic surgeon; for medical skin disease, see a dermatologist.
- Match the focus to your concern — injectables for lines and volume, energy-based devices for lasers/HIFU, a skin doctor for pigmentation, threads for lifting, or a body-contouring doctor for non-surgical fat reduction.
- Check registration on the SMC register, ask about the doctor’s certificates of competence for the specific procedure, and be cautious of over-promised results.
- See our cost guides on Botox, HIFU and Pico laser.

What an aesthetic doctor does, and when to see one
Aesthetic doctors provide non-surgical cosmetic treatments such as injectables (botulinum toxin and dermal fillers), energy-based devices (lasers, radiofrequency and HIFU), skin rejuvenation, thread lifts and non-surgical body contouring. People consult them to address lines and volume loss, pigmentation, acne and scarring, skin texture and mild laxity. It is important to understand the limits of non-surgical treatment: for surgical changes such as a facelift or liposuction, an accredited plastic surgeon is the right specialist, and for medical skin disease, a dermatologist.
What to look for when choosing an aesthetic doctor in Singapore
Aesthetic medicine is practised by registered medical doctors; it is not a specialty on the SMC specialist register, so look carefully at the individual:
- Registration: Confirm the doctor is on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register.
- Procedure-specific training: Ask about certificates of competence for the specific treatment, as aesthetic procedures in Singapore are subject to guidelines on training and the devices permitted.
- Honest expectations: A trustworthy doctor explains realistic outcomes, alternatives and risks, and does not over-promise or pressure you into packages.
Costs and financing
Cosmetic and aesthetic treatments are elective and paid out of pocket. They are not claimable under MediSave or MediShield Life, and are generally excluded by private insurance. Because results often require maintenance sessions, ask about the likely frequency and ongoing cost, not just the price of a single treatment, and request a clear quote in advance.
Questions to ask at your first consultation
- What training and experience do you have with this specific procedure?
- What results are realistic for me, and what are the risks and downtime?
- What happens if I am not satisfied, or if there is a complication?
- How many sessions and what maintenance will I need, and what is the total cost?
Common questions
Is an aesthetic doctor the same as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon?
No. Dermatologists are specialists in skin disease, and plastic surgeons are specialists in surgical procedures, both on the SMC specialist register. Aesthetic doctors are registered medical practitioners offering non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Match the provider to whether your concern is cosmetic, medical or surgical.
Are non-surgical treatments permanent?
Most are not. Injectables and many device-based treatments fade over months and require repeat sessions to maintain results. Ask your doctor how long effects typically last.
How can I reduce the risk of a poor outcome?
Choose an SMC-registered doctor with relevant training, ask to see how the device or product will be used, be wary of unusually cheap or heavily marketed deals, and make sure you understand the risks before consenting.
