Beauty in Singapore: check it yourself
Singapore has no downloadable list of aesthetic clinics, so we don't rank clinics here. These are the official records you can check in a few minutes.
Before you book
- The clinic is licensed
Every clinic in Singapore needs a licence from the Ministry of Health. Search the clinic's name in the HealthHub directory.
HealthHub directory ↗ - The doctor is registered — and in which specialty
Search the doctor's name in the Medical Council's register. It shows whether they're a registered specialist, such as in dermatology or plastic surgery, and where they practise.
SMC register ↗ - This doctor may do this procedure
Under the Medical Council's guidelines, some aesthetic procedures need a certificate of competence and some are for specialists only. Ask which applies to yours and who will do it.
SMC aesthetic guidelines ↗ - The product is approved
Fillers, toxins and devices are regulated by the Health Sciences Authority. Ask for the product name and amount in writing.
Health Sciences Authority ↗ - Nothing on the watchlist
The Ministry of Health lists unlicensed and illegal practices it has acted on.
MOH watchlist ↗
Why there's no clinic list
The Ministry of Health directory lets you look clinics up one at a time, and the Medical Council's register doesn't allow its results to be republished. We only judge clinics from records we can read in full, so for Singapore we show you where to check instead.
