Common Questions Medical Aesthetic Doctors Get and Their Expert Advice

At the helm of DSQ Elite and Dermstétiq Clinic is the esteemed Dr. Tan Hui Suan, a trusted figure in the world of medical aesthetics. As the Founder and CEO of DSQ Elite and the Founder and Medical Director of Dermstétiq Clinic, Dr. Tan has dedicated her career to enhancing natural beauty and promoting skin health. With years of experience and a deep understanding of the science of medical aesthetics, she and her team frequently address a myriad of concerns from patients. Today we look at the most common questions patients ask and the expert advice provided by Dr. Tan and her colleagues.

1. Acne and Acne Scarring

Common Questions:
• What causes acne, and how can I prevent it?
• What treatments are available for acne scarring?

Dr. Tan’s Advice:
Acne is a multifactorial condition often triggered by hormonal changes, stress, poor diet, and improper skincare routines. To prevent acne, I recommend maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and using non-comedogenic skincare products. Regular cleansing to remove excess oil and debris is crucial.

For acne scarring, various treatments are available, including chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, and microneedling. Another popular option for deeper, more sunken scars are dermal fillers. I always emphasise the importance of tailored treatment plans, as each patient’s skin is unique. Consistent skincare routines and professional treatments can significantly improve skin texture and appearance.

2. Hyperpigmentation

Common Questions:
• Why do I have dark spots on my skin?
• How can I lighten hyperpigmentation?

Dr. Tan’s Advice:
Hyperpigmentation occurs due to excess melanin production, often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin injuries. To prevent and treat hyperpigmentation, I advise using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as UV exposure can worsen dark spots.

Topical treatments containing ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinoids can help lighten hyperpigmentation. Additionally, chemical peels and laser treatments can effectively reduce the appearance of dark spots. A comprehensive approach combining sun protection, topical treatments, and professional procedures is essential for managing hyperpigmentation.

3. Premature Aging and Wrinkles

Common Questions:
• How can I prevent premature aging?
• What are the best treatments for wrinkles?

Dr. Tan’s Advice:
While genetics be a factor with aging, premature aging is often caused by factors such as sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, and inadequate skincare. To prevent premature aging, I always stress to my patients the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including a diet rich in antioxidants, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

In terms of skincare, using products with retinoids, hyaluronic acid, and peptides can help maintain skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines. For more pronounced wrinkles, treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing can provide significant improvements. I ensure to highlight to my patients that a proactive approach combining preventive measures and targeted treatments is key to maintaining youthful skin.

4. Moles and Skin Lesions

Common Questions:
• Should I be worried about my moles?
• How can I tell if a mole is cancerous?

Dr. Tan’s Advice:
Moles are common skin growths, but changes in their appearance can be a cause for concern. My advice is to have regular self-examinations and dermatological check-ups to monitor moles. The ABCDE rule (Asymmetry, Border, Colour, Diameter, Evolving) is a helpful guide to identify suspicious moles that may require further investigation.

If a mole shows signs of irregularity, it’s crucial to seek medical advice promptly. Early detection and treatment are vital for conditions like melanoma. For benign moles that are aesthetically bothersome, Dermstétiq Clinic offers removal options such as spot laser removal, punch biopsy, or shave biopsy.

5. Rosacea

Common Questions:
• What causes rosacea?
• How can I manage rosacea flare-ups?

Dr. Tan’s Advice:
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. Triggers for rosacea can include spicy foods, alcohol, extreme temperatures, and stress. Dr. Tan recommends identifying and avoiding personal triggers to manage rosacea effectively.

Topical treatments such as metronidazole or azelaic acid, and oral antibiotics like doxycycline, can help control symptoms. Laser therapy may also be beneficial for reducing redness and visible blood vessels. A gentle skincare routine and regular consultations with a dermatologist are crucial for long-term management.
