Reference guides
The checks anyone can make, written out in full.
These pages are reference rather than opinion. They set out what the public registers hold, which law governs which part of an aesthetic clinic in Malaysia, and how the classes of treatment differ from one another. They are written to be used anywhere, not only here.
A check you can run yourself beats a claim you have to take on trust.
The guides
Where to start
The first group is what to check before any appointment, at any clinic. The second reads the treatment classes against each other by what each one actually changes. Both are written for a reader who has not chosen a clinic yet.
Before you book
How to check an aesthetic doctorThe two public registers that settle who a doctor is, what each takes to search, and what neither of them certifies.
What aesthetic treatment costs in MalaysiaWhy fees vary between clinics, what a figure is pricing, and the questions worth asking before any of it is agreed.
How aesthetic clinics are regulatedThe Acts, the orders and the guidelines that govern a clinic here, each with the register or document behind it.
Which procedures only a doctor may performWhere the line sits between a registered doctor and an assistant, and who carries liability across it.
The medicine price display ruleWhat a clinic is required to display about the medicines it supplies, and what the rule does not cover.
Comparing the classes
Ultrasound vs radiofrequency vs RF microneedling vs threadsFour approaches to laxity, read by the depth each one reaches and the tissue it acts on.
Picosecond vs Q-switched vs IPL vs topicalPigment is not one problem. Which tool suits which mark, and when the answer is none of them yet.
Neuromodulator vs filler vs biostimulatorThree injectable classes that change three different things, and are not substitutes for one another.

Not sure which question you are asking?
Some of what people bring is a regulatory question and some of it is a diagnosis question, and the two get answered in different places. The assessment sorts that out before any treatment is named. In person, with Dr Ong.
