HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR VISION FOR SKINFIX?
My vision for SkinFix is very simple – to have it all under one roof. The clinic should be able to cater to not only one’s need for healthy skin but wellness as a whole. SkinFix has always promoted healthy living and diet along with the treatments it provides.
It also has its own brand of skincare products, so the treatment plan is personalised for every patient, allowing them to incorporate our products in their daily routine. I would not want to compare myself with anyone else as everyone has a personal touch when it comes to their practice. All I can say is that the goal of SkinFix is to provide authentic and affordable treatments for all.
WHAT PERSONAL EXPERIENCES HAVE SHAPED YOUR APPROACH TO YOUR WORK?
One lesson I learned early in life is the importance of valuing everyone around me, as there is always something to learn from others. This principle extends to my professional life, where I respect and seek knowledge from colleagues, regardless of their position. I firmly believe that passion is crucial for success in one’s career. My love for my work has reached such heights that I cannot imagine my life without it. I feel blessed that I fell in love with my profession, and I hope that shows in the quality of my work.
COULD YOU ELABORATE ON THE KIND OF SERVICES YOUR CLINIC OFFERS?
At SkinFix, we offer a wide range of services and products tailored to enhance the skin’s health and appearance. Our services include advanced treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, filler injections, Botox, laser hair removal, and more, all administered by highly qualified doctors specialising in Aesthetic Medicine. We utilise advanced equipment to ensure optimal results for our clients. Additionally, our product line features solutions like our Acne Fix, featuring a salicylic acid chemical peel, Brightening & Glow Fix, and Vit C serum, each designed to address specific skincare concerns effectively. For acne treatment, the salicylic acid chemical peel is a popular choice because it clears active acne, reduces excess oil and unclogs pores, exfoliates the skin, and fades acne spots over time. The Brightening & Glow Fix can be considered for lightening dark spots, minimising acne scars, evening out skin tone, and brightening overall complexion. Using the Vitamin C serum offers various benefits such as evening out skin tone, enhancing brightness, fighting signs of aging, and reducing the appearance of dark circles. Our special edition combo includes a salicylic acid peel along with a glow gel, which is a soothing aloe vera gel. We’re excited to announce that new products will be launching next month.
WHAT MADE YOU COLLABORATE WITH ORGANIKARE TO CREATE YOUR OWN BRAND OF PRODUCTS?
One key reason is our shared commitment to delivering the highest quality products. Organikare’s dedication to providing clinically tested and verified offerings aligns with our own values and mission. Both our companies prioritise authenticity and strive to offer our users the best possible experience. This shared commitment to excellence makes Organikare an ideal partner for our brand.
HOW DO YOU EDUCATE AND CONSULT PATIENTS TO ENSURE THEY FEEL WELL-INFORMED AND CONFIDENT WHEN CHOOSING AESTHETIC TREATMENTS?
The first step is to listen to what the patient has to say. A patient would not take time out of their busy schedule to see a doctor if they did not feel heard. It is important to recognise that most patients seek medical advice after experiencing a certain level of frustration. Second, the patient needs to understand the procedures they are undergoing thoroughly and how their treatment plan will help them achieve their goals. Our approach prioritises safety, hygiene, effective results, and affordability in everything that we do.
WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY ON THE BALANCE BETWEEN ENHANCING NATURAL BEAUTY AND MAINTAINING A PATIENT’S INDIVIDUALITY?
There is no direct answer to this, so let me elaborate. Natural beauty needs discipline. In order to love the skin that you’re in, you need to make that appointment. You should start early, but it’s never too late to begin taking care of your skin. Aesthetic Dermatology is all about enhancing one’s natural beauty without making it look artificial. Everyone is unique and we should never take that away from our patients. There has to be a right balance – not too little and not too much. There is something magical about being subtle.
Another thing I want to mention is that our job is to welcome people who open up about their insecurities, and keep it confidential at the same time. It probably took them a lot of courage to address what makes them insecure. We must respect that. Whether a procedure can help overcome that insecurity without altering the original beauty is what aesthetic dermatology is all about.
