ok those with acne problem may wan to go to this clinic in toa
payoh central. its called universal peace and is located beside
kimage. its a bit lock cock and it looks like any other ordinary
clinic. if not can try national skin centre. i know of another
clinic near to north pt and opp the mrt station. dunno the name
though.
the doctor i went to has many years of exp and i was
reccommended by my mum who heard about it from her fren.
my feedback about this practioner
1) very good results. my acne cleared visibly in one month time
and within 2 months my acne all cleared up. in 6 to 7 months time i
am ok le. and now its been like 2 years liao and i dun have any
recurrence of acne prob
2) medication given was oral pills called ro-acutane some creams
and facial wash. the creams and facial wash were super
effective.
3) the doctor seems to be interested in maximising his income
and will reccommend this and that treatment or prolonging ur
duration of consultation.
4) fees wise a bit ex at 1st. it was 200bucks for one month for
the 1st few months. then it became 200bucks for 2months. i spent
like 1k to 1.3k in total. but it was worth it la. anyway market
rate is like 150 to 200bucks per month.
my suggestions:
1) do not go for facials. they will worsen ur condition cos they
will squeeze ur acne and make ur face red. the acne may go deeper
into the skin and worsen the condition instead.
2) no pt relying on facial wash from pharmacies. they wont work.
cos i tried using quite a few brands le.
3) getting help from GPs is very effective. if not can refer to
the national skin centre. doctors imo provide the best solution
i am speaking from exp cos my acne caused my self-esteem to go
down. when it cleared i felt much much better. not trying to
publicise for any clinic here, just offering some advice for those
who need it
medication given depends on ur condition and the practioner.
those with milder case may not get ro-acutane but may get
antibiotics or something else. some of the oral pills have side
effects like drying up of ur face or causing liver problems. the
doctors will fully explain the effects of the medication given.
national skin centre treatment is cheaper. like 70bucks per
month or something.
