Top 10 Recommended Dermatologist Clinics in Singapore

How to find the best dermatologist in Singapore?

If you do a Google search for 'best skin doctor in Singapore', you're just going to find all of the other skin specialist websites. Too many options and it's hard to know where to begin.

Bear in mind that the dermatologist's high ranking on page 1 and visible advertisements on Google may not be truly reflective of the doctor's skills, experience and also how 'trustworthy' is the doctor. The skin specialist clinic's ranking and visibility are influenced by factors like the Google Adwords advertising, Google's search engine algorithms and also can be manipulated by some SEO (search engine optimisation) professionals and tools.

There are many review sites that provide a list of skin specialists and rank them according to their own methods. However, those reviews may not be objective, and that ratings may not be statistically valid. Though the sites are trying to make the ranking objective, the reviews are a listing of opinions and should be judged as such. Therefore, do take those reviews and rankings with a grain of salt.
  • You need to rely on your own online and offline research. Feedback from other doctors and friends needs to be incorporated. It's also important to take into consideration other factors like ‘where’ the clinic is, the management of the hospital or the clinic, easy parking, appointment waiting list etc.
  • Dermatologists, Skin Specialists or Aestheticians? Who do you see for your skin problems? Should you see your regular doctor? Should you go to a beauty centre and consult your aesthetician? The main difference between a dermatologist and an aesthetician is the training background for each profession. If you go see a dermatologist or a skin specialist, you're seeing a doctor. This means that he or she has completed medical school and a few years of residency at a medical facility. An aesthetician or beautician is a person who has been trained in beauty care. This includes facial massage, manicure, pedicure and some basic medical science like anatomy and physiology related to the face and body. An aesthetician or beautician is not allowed to use needles or to give injections (e.g. botox etc.) and certainly not allowed to do surgery on you.
  • A good starting point will be to see your usual family or primary care doctor who has your records. If the skin problem is mild and simple, your general practitioner (GP) or primary care doctor (in a GP clinic) would be able to manage it. If the condition gets worse, then you may wish to request your GP to refer you to one of the skin specialist clinics in Singapore. If you are looking for an affordable dermatologist or are concerned that the skin specialists in the private sector can be expensive, you could always try to get a referral to the public or government skin specialists e.g. National Skin Centre, SGH or NUH. They may not allow you to make appointment directly without a referral from either a general practitioner or a medical officer from the primary care department. Please make your call and enquire directly.

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide

By
Image
As of May 2024, there are more than 4,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to ex...

10 Best NMN Supplements (2025 Review)

By
Image
NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. The global Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) market was valued at US$ 98.5 million in 2019 and it is expected to reach US$ 296.5 million ( R ) by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.3% during 2021-2026. The NAD story took off toward the end of 2013 with a  high-profile paper  by Harvard's David Sinclair and colleagues. Sinclair, recall, achieved fame in the mid-2000s for research on yeast and mice that suggested the red wine ing...

Detoxifying the body from heavy metals can be an important step in maintaining overall health and wellness. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium can accumulate in the body over time and can have negative effects on the brain, heart, kidneys, and other organs. Some people may be at higher risk of exposure to heavy metals due to their occupation or lifestyle. One way to detoxify the body from heavy metals is through the use of supplements. These supplements can come in various forms such as capsules, tablets, or powders and contain ingredients like chelating agents, antioxidants and natural herbs that work together to remove heavy metals from the body.

Dr. Zelenko's Z-Stack Vitamin Cocktail: Review 2024

By
Image
The  Zelenko COVID-19 Protocols  was developed by Dr Vladimir Zelenko. The protocol has as its centerpiece, but not exclusive piece, the combined use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Zinc as a means by which a person can both help to prevent or mitigate the contraction of  COVID-19 , or can actually treat the disease once it has been diagnosed.  A  retrospective study  analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication after a rigorous peer review process. The study finds that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 resulted in significantly fewer hospitalizations and deaths. The treatment consisting of zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and azithromycin, is also referred to as "The Zelenko Protocol." Dr Zelenko has since updated his protocols to incorporate new evidence. He has since evolved his protocols to include a quercetin, zinc, vitamin D and C protocol for low-ris...
