Where they practise
- Clinic / practice: Dr Shane The Aesthetic Practice — Robinson Road / Tanjong Pagar (CBD)
Getting to the clinic
Dr Shane The Aesthetic Practice is located in the Robinson Road and Tanjong Pagar part of the Central Business District. The nearest stations are Tanjong Pagar MRT (EW15) and Telok Ayer MRT (DT18), both a short walk from the Robinson Road, Cecil Street and Shenton Way area; Raffles Place MRT (EW14/NS26) is also reachable from the northern end. Many city bus routes serve Robinson Road and the surrounding streets, and taxis or ride-hailing services can drop off at the building entrance, which is easiest outside the weekday peaks. Parking is in paid hourly or season carparks within the office developments along Robinson Road and nearby; CBD parking fills early on weekday mornings, so public transport is often more convenient. If you are visiting around lunchtime, allow a little extra time, as the area is busy with office workers.

What regenerative aesthetics covers
Regenerative aesthetics focuses on treatments intended to support the skin’s own structure and repair processes rather than simply adding volume or relaxing muscles. Dr Shane’s stated focus includes skin boosters such as biostimulators, hyaluronic acid and polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) skin boosters, as well as exosome therapy and other rejuvenation procedures. Hyaluronic acid skin boosters hydrate and improve skin quality, while biostimulatory injectables aim to prompt the skin to produce more of its own collagen over time. PDRN-based and exosome treatments are used with the goal of supporting skin repair and quality. These approaches are typically directed at overall skin texture, fine lines, dullness and laxity rather than at sculpting a single feature, and results tend to build gradually across a course of sessions. Because the field is evolving and newer treatments vary in the strength of evidence behind them, it is sensible to discuss what supports a given treatment and what realistic improvement looks like. Minimally invasive injectables of this kind are often combined with other measures, such as energy-based devices or conventional injectables, as part of a broader skin-quality plan rather than used in isolation.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually covers your concerns, skincare history, allergies, medical conditions, medications and past treatments. The doctor assesses your skin and explains which regenerative options might suit you, how many sessions are typically involved and what spacing is recommended. Because many of these treatments work gradually, expect a discussion of the expected timeline rather than an immediate change, along with possible side effects such as temporary swelling, bruising or tenderness at injection sites. You should be told about alternatives and aftercare, including sun protection and any temporary precautions on activity or skincare. Taking time to weigh the options, and to understand how the results are maintained over time, is reasonable before committing.
Booking, referrals and fees
As a private aesthetic clinic, the practice can usually be contacted directly without a referral. These treatments are elective and cosmetic, so they generally fall outside subsidised care; MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans typically do not apply, and consultations are normally paid out of pocket. Bring a list of your medications and details of any allergies or previous treatments. As fees depend on the treatment and the number of sessions, confirm the full cost and inclusions with the clinic before starting.
Common questions
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments used to improve skin hydration and quality. Some are based on hyaluronic acid, while biostimulatory types aim to encourage the skin’s own collagen production over time.
When will I see results?
Regenerative treatments usually work gradually, with improvement building over weeks and across a course of sessions rather than appearing immediately. The expected timeline is explained at consultation.
Is there downtime?
Most are minimally invasive, but temporary redness, swelling or bruising at injection points is possible. Any precautions and recovery are discussed before treatment.
Regenerative treatments explained
Regenerative aesthetics, the focus of Dr Shane The Aesthetic Practice, groups together several injectable treatments that share the aim of supporting the skin’s own structure and repair rather than simply adding volume or relaxing muscles. It helps to understand how they differ. Hyaluronic acid skin boosters work mainly by hydrating and improving skin quality, with effects that build over a short course. Biostimulatory injectables aim instead to prompt the skin to produce more of its own collagen gradually over weeks to months, so the change is slower to appear but is directed at the skin’s underlying quality. Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) skin boosters and exosome-based treatments are newer approaches used with the goal of supporting skin repair and texture.
Because this is an evolving field, the strength of evidence behind individual treatments varies, and it is sensible to ask what supports a given option and what realistic improvement looks like for your skin. These treatments are typically directed at overall texture, fine lines, dullness and mild laxity rather than at sculpting a single feature, and they are often combined with energy-based devices or conventional injectables as part of a broader skin-quality plan rather than used alone.
How to prepare and tips for your visit
- Bring a list of your medications and details of any allergies or previous aesthetic treatments.
- Avoid alcohol and, where medically appropriate, products that increase bruising in the day or two before injectables, having checked with the clinic first.
- Note which aspects of your skin concern you most, so the doctor can tailor the plan and explain the likely timeline.
- Plan around the possibility of temporary swelling, bruising or tenderness at injection sites, particularly before social events.
- Ask how many sessions are typically involved and what spacing is recommended, since many of these treatments work gradually across a course.
More questions
Are these treatments subsidised?
No. Regenerative aesthetic treatments are elective and cosmetic, so they generally fall outside subsidised care; MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans typically do not apply, and consultations are normally paid out of pocket. Confirm the full cost and inclusions with the clinic before starting.
How do I judge whether a newer treatment is right for me?
Because the field is developing and treatments differ in the evidence behind them, it is reasonable to ask what supports a given option, what realistic improvement looks like and how results are maintained over time before committing.
