DOCTORS who are practised in 25 established aesthetic procedures such as chemical peels and skin-plumping botox injections can continue to do them if they have enough practice with good results under their belt.
But those without a good track record, or any newcomer, will now need the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) to verify that they are qualified to perform the procedures before they can proceed.
And any doctor who wants to carry out seven other controversial treatments, such as fat-busting carboxytherapy and cellulite-reducing endermologie, will need to notify the council, and monitor patients very closely.
