Simply Aesthetic at Robertson Walk

This project has kept me well occupied for the last few months. We have been searching for a suitable new home since November last year. We're happy to finally show the photos of the new location of Simply Aesthetic... Robertson Walk.

This first photo is a pre-renovation view of the clinic side of the unit. The French doors gives it a bright, airy feel. The glass will be frosted, so no privacy issues here! We will have one consultation room and 3 treatment rooms in this section of the unit. Plus a washroom for the desperate!

Robertson Walk has a very laid back atmosphere during the day time. Incredibly private, very European. From the balcony outside our main door, we can catch a glimpse of the Singapore River in the distance. It's just a short stroll away, so fantastic for a mid-day de-stress stroll. Wonder if I'll be motivated enough to go jogging?!!!

The main square at Robertson Walk comes to life at night. Lots of excellent restaurants surround the area. The DBS Repatory Theatre faces us from across the square.

The clock tower is directly above our unit. The open French door that is just visible will be our main doorway. The clinic will be on the left side and the spa on the right.


Renovations begin on 11th May. We are expecting to open the spa by mid-June, but MOH licensing will delay the clinic move till late June. Fortunately, Robertson Walk is just next to UE Square, so disruption will be minimal. The couple of months will be busy but exciting. Our private label line (organic, no less!) is coming together.

Trying out Velashape

I had the opportunity to try out Velashape this morning. It's the first FDA-approved device for cellulite and circumferential reduction.

It combines four different modalities:

1. Infra-red
2. Radiofrequency
3. Mechanised massage
4. Vaccuum suction

Being a chicken about any kind of pain, I was a little apprehensive initially. Fortunately, the treatment was pretty comfortable. Some areas felt a little too hot, some areas were a little sore. I treated my arms, calves, thighs & buttocks. I wasn't looking at the clock, but it didn't seem to take too long... about an hour I think to do all those areas. My arms certainly feel more toned immediately after. The full results from this one session will not be seen for a few more weeks.

The trainer came from Lebanon, where she says the procedure is massively popular. They have been selling the machine for over a year, and there have been no complaints, and most importantly, no problems. The satisfaction rate is extremely high. All good news.

We will be looking into adding this to our repertoire. It certainly does help to fill the small gaps in our services, particularly fat reduction in smaller areas that are not great candidates for liposuction, such as chin and calves. It also has the added benefits of targeted fat reduction, skin firming and stretch mark reduction. Most importantly, it is pretty comfortable!

Waterjet Liposuction on "The Doctors"

I have had quite a few e-mails from Americans recently, asking about the feasibility of coming to Singapore for liposuction. They all said they'd seen the procedure on "The Doctors" and were convinced that this is the procedure for them.

Having a few minutes free this evening, I decided to try to find this video clip. I did the usual youtube search and just found some clinic adverts, one short clip in Spanish, but not the show that had intrigued them enough to find me.

Eventually, I found the program's website, and happily they had the entire video clip online!

They used the standard treatment philosophy for thigh reduction. The results are pretty significant straight after the operation. I think I still prefer the waterjet-plus technique for "skinny jeans" results. But then, I am biased! ;o)
