Skin pigmentation is the bane of crystal clear skin! Those who have experienced it (some of them still continue to live it) are definitely well acquainted with its confidence-killing powers.

Fortunately, Dr Justin Boey has dedicated his practice to wage war on these pesky spots. He has helped many patients restore their confidence by resolving their pigmentation problems! 

He was invited to host a DoctorxDentist session on lasers & pigmentation to share his expert opinions with the DoctorxDentist community. From tips on melasma treatment to pigment marks caused by acne, these are his pearls of wisdom.

Thinning hair stems from many reasons, and it can be distressing. Patients who come to me are eager to seek ways to reverse thinning hair.

However, despite their eagerness, many of them are still not keen on trying traditional hair growth methods. Hair growth medicines come with quite a number of undesirable side effects, while hair transplant surgery is costly, and carries some risks. 

Thus, I wrote this 1500-word article to share my knowledge of a recent treatment that uses autologous micrografts to restore hair growth. Here's how it works.

Dealing with acne in your youth is bad enough, but the scars left behind can be a real nightmare.

New patients often ask me 2 common questions:

• “I’ve tried one laser session before. Why don’t I see results yet?”
• “I still have acne scars and uneven skin texture despite 10 sessions of chemical peels. Why?”

This is why I have decided to write this article to help those of you who are struggling with acne scars. The best outcomes usually result from a combination of different methods, individualised to your skin type and scar! Here's what you need to know. 

Meet Dr Justin Boey, an aesthetic doctor who considers himself as a face architect. He is very passionate about helping all his patients look like the best version of themselves through his expertise in creating, shaping, and restoring features. 

His key interests are lasers for pigmentation and acne scars. He has performed more than 5,000 laser treatments till date to help his patients banish pigmentation issues once and for all!

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an effective and sought-after non-surgical treatment for skin tightening and face lifting in Singapore.

With a large number of HIFU treatment brands and a broad range of treatment providers, I often get a lot of questions on the very varied pricing for HIFU treatments in Singapore.

Hence, I've decided to write this post to help you understand the varying HIFU treatment prices, the effectiveness, and the safety concerns beyond the marketing hype.

We all know that intrinsic aging is a natural part of the aging process that reduces collagen and elastin production in your skin. When the natural elasticity is lost, it causes our skin to sag.

The most common request I get from my patients is to help them keep their complexion looking young and fresh.

I always tell them that to look youthful, tightening the skin on your face and neck is the first place to start. Watch the video to discover how I help my patients customise a treatment plan for their concerns. 

This post addresses the common questions from readers about hair transplants in Singapore.

No two outbreaks of acne are exactly alike and may require customised treatment plans. Similarly, the management of active acne versus acne scars requires different approaches. A DoctorxDentist reader asked how doctors determine treatment for active acne and acne scars, and recalled how some clinics offer one-size-fits-all treatment packages. In reply, Dr Justin Boey discussed the treatments for different stages and types of acne available to patients in Singapore. Here’s our round-up.

Hair loss may not affect a person’s day-to-day physical functioning, but it can have an effect on self-esteem, especially for people who have public-facing jobs. From hair tonics to transplants and now micrografts, hair treatments available in Singapore do not just stop at topical treatments but also extend beneath the skin. 

Regenera Activa is a micrograft-based hair loss treatment available in Singapore that is available for both men and women. It is an option for patients for whom hair transplants are unsuitable. 

Dr Justin Boey responded to DoctorxDentist readers’ questions about how hair loss is diagnosed by doctors, hair loss in women with a receding hairline, as well as medically proven solutions available. Here are some key facts to note. 

Good news: Your pigmentation concerns are most likely not permanent! Dr Justin Boey answered reader questions on how to get rid of those pesky pigmentation spots.
