Highlights of 2007

As the year draws to a close, it is apt to remember all that has happened to make 2007 a most memorable one.

Move & Re-Brand

Top of the list has to be our move from Faber House in Orchard Road to our current location in UE Square Shopping Mall. It was a difficult decision as we valued our proximity to Somerset MRT Station. However, the lack of visibility was a killer, and the great UOL unhelpful (understatement of the year!).

So in July, we packed our belongings and in a record three days, moved everything over to UE Square.

We decided to shorten the clinic name from "Simply Aesthetic Rejuvenation & Contouring Clinic" to "Simply Aesthetic". We hired a graphic designer to create a new logo. A brochure soon followed, and our new bags are now in production.

New Team

We've had a few changes in staff earlier in the year, but are delighted with our current team. Mery, who has been with us from day one, is the Clinic Manager, and effectively ensures smooth running of our services.

Ivy joined us mid-year, and has become our champion in machine therapy. Her favourite is undoubtedly the Radiofrequency machine. She takes great pleasure in re-moulding a sagging face and melting away unwanted fat.

Dyna is our latest addition. A Staff Nurse from the Philippines, she has been crucial in getting our liposuction service off the ground. She has had to learn all about Medical Aesthetics, and is currently undergoing in-house training to become a Therapist like Mery & Ivy.

New Machines

We started off 2007 with six machines. We end with about twenty! It all started slowly enough in January, with the acquisition of our "Chocolate" (Diamond Contours Biomesosculpture) machine. Then suddenly, from August onwards, we've been picking up over one new machine every single month! We can barely move for machines now! But that's pretty cool, since we really can provide a very comprehensive range of treatment options for weight loss in particular.

Intensive Training

The rate at which Medical Aesthetics is advancing is tremendous. Comparing this field to say Anaesthesia, there really has been nothing added to routine Anaesthetic practice for the last 10 years! Although we do not provide every aesthetic treatment in our clinic, it was only when we were training Dyna that we realised how much has been added since Ivy joined us!

Training received this year included:

• Curl Lift & Lipofilling Course with Dr Pierre Fournier (Singapore, Aug 2007)
• 3rd Asia Pacific Aesthetic Medicine Conference (Singapore, Aug 2007)
• Arcadia Laser Course (Singapore, May 2007)
• Radiofrequency in Aesthetic Medicine (Bangkok, Nov 2007)
• Minimally Invasive Facial Aesthetic Surgery (Manila, Nov 2007)
• Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction Training (Singapore, Nov 2007)

Looking Forward to 2008

We look forward to offering new and exciting treatments to complement our current services. With strategic alliances locally, as well as in Hong Kong and Manila, we are confident of being at the cutting edge of aesthetic medicine in Singapore.

As we near the peak in our time of rapid growth, we continue to seek a suitable Therapist to join our team. We have also been waiting for additional space to become available at UE Square.

2007 brought many surprises which we did not anticipate. We have embraced many of the opportunities presented and taken the clinic to new heights. We look forward to new opportunities in the coming year, and can only guess at the possibilities ahead.
