What We Treat

Treatments do not work on every face. The work is to find which works on yours.

Patients arrive with something specific: a patch of pigment, tired eyes, a softening jawline. The honest work is in understanding the cause, then matching it to a treatment that actually addresses it. Here is the range we work across, and the thinking behind each category.

Concerns we see

What brings people in.

Most faces involve more than one. The right treatment for each is confirmed in person.

Pigmentation and uneven toneSun spots, melasma and post-inflammatory marks look alike and behave differently. The diagnosis decides the treatment.Read the concernSagging and skin laxityThe face is held up in layers. Which one has softened decides whether lifting, collagen work or neither is the answer.Read the concernLines and wrinklesA line that moves and a line that stays are different problems, read in the context of how your face actually moves.Read the concernVolume loss and a tired lookTiredness in a face is often structure, sometimes skin, occasionally neither. More filler is rarely the first answer.Read the concernAcne and breakoutsBlackheads, inflamed spots and deep nodules are different kinds of acne. The kind, and what is feeding it, decide what helps.Read the concernTexture, pores and acne scarsScarring, pores and surface roughness are different mechanisms on the same cheek, treated in the right order.Read the concernStubborn fat and body shapeShape and weight are different problems with different tools. Confusing them is expensive.Read the concernEye bags and dark circlesThe same shadow can be fat, hollow, pigment, skin or sleep. This area is diagnosed first, never treated on description.Read the concernHair thinningThinning is a symptom with more than one cause, and the cause decides both the treatment and the urgency.Read the concernBladder leakage and pelvic floorCommon, treatable and under-discussed. A fully clothed, chair-based treatment can strengthen the pelvic floor.Read the concern

The tools

The toolkit.

Inside each category there are usually several established brands. Dr Ong picks the most suitable one for your concern at the consultation.

On brands. The clinic carries several established and approved brands across fillers, skinboosters, biostimulators and toxins. Which one ends up in your treatment depends on the assessment, on your skin, and on what the result needs to do. The brand on the box matters less than the placement and the dose.

Vanquish and laser lipo are not run here; the journal sets out how Vanquish and laser lipo compare with OndaPro and maps what works for slimming treatment in Malaysia.

Not offered here: thread lifts; microneedling, with or without radiofrequency (why); IPL, vascular lasers and fractional CO2 laser (why); laser hair removal; Thermage and Sofwave; exosome injections; PRP or any other injection for hair loss, and hair transplants; IV drips and glutathione injections; Vanquish and laser lipo; and oral isotretinoin for acne, for which we refer to a dermatologist.

These decisions are made in person.

That is what the consultation is for. In person, with Dr Ong. Skin and concerns get assessed, and a course gets recommended.
