Meet Dr Ram

MEET DR. RAM


I graduated with MBBS (United Kingdom) in 1996, and started my first aesthetic practice in 2001. It was a time when the aesthetic industry was still in its infancy in Singapore,  even  the term “aesthetics” was still unheard of in those days.

In the early days of my career, I built a solid foundation in aesthetics and cosmetic medicine by going through training and mentorship with learned and experienced practitioners in Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Korea and USA.

Over the past decade, I have gone on to treat thousands of patients and have performed a vast array of procedures to enhance and improve skin complexion, facial features, and body contours.

My approach to aesthetic medicine

The culmination of my training and experience has been to form my own approach to each individual case, with my own signature treatment regimen for each patient. This is what I call the “3-D” approach to skin treatment, which means, I often combine two, if not, three procedures at one time.

Combining Procedures

Our skin is one of the most delicate structures in our body, yet it is the most vulnerable to the ravages of time and the environment around us. Everyone's skin has a  limit to the intensity of treatment it can tolerate. This threshold limit varies so much from person to person, that it is impossible, to know for sure where this limit lies with each individual.

If the approach to treatment was to use just one treatment modality to address a certain type of skin problem, the only option available would be to increase or decrease the intensity of the treatment to achieve the desired result.

Such a one-dimensional approach of using one treatment modality and increasing its intensity in an effort to achieve better results will test the limits of skin tolerance and can result in unpredictable and sometimes damaging results. High treatment settings can also lead to pain and discomfort during and after treatment, as well as prolong recovery time, making the whole experience unpleasant for the patient. 

3-D approach

In my 3-D approach to skin treatment, I often combine two, if not three procedures that are individually gentle and safe, but in combination, provides excellent results.

Each procedure is done at a safe and comfortable setting, and in quick succession. They target different layers and structures of the skin, thus treating the skin at all levels. This approach can lead to “1 plus 1 equals 3” effect, with minimal pain, minimal downtime, but crucially, maximum safety and excellent results.

The treatment procedures are complemented with dermatological products from our very own customised skin care range . We formulate and prescribe products of the highest quality, to provide optimal post-treatment skin recovery and ensure  continual improvement of the skin condition long after each treatment session.

WHY CHOOSE TWC?

In coming to The Wellness Clinic you are part of an increasing number of women and men actively choosing to refine and improve their appearance. Aesthetic medicine is not about radically changing your looks. It is about looking the very best you can. Once regarded as treatments only for the rich and famous celebrities, treatments are now available to everyone who seeks them.


A few years ago most patients seeking aesthetic improvements were women, but men are now taking up treatments much more frequently. Once regarded as a vain indulgence, aesthetic enhancement is now commonplace for people who are concerned about maintaining or improving their looks and shape.

For women it may be the cellulite on their legs or the hard to shift fat pocket on the stomach and outer thighs or the shape of their arms. For men, the shape of the small double chin or the hair on their back or the deep lines on the forehead. Of course for women and men it may be as simple as getting some advice and care to improve skin tone and texture and to enrich the skin and make it glow with health and vitality.

At the The Wellness Clinic  we can offer a comprehensive range of safe and effective therapies. We do laser hair removal, muscle relaxing botulinum toxin injections, and various fillers, lip enhancing injections and facial volumising (Sculptra) enhancement. We have lasers and sclerotherapy to treat spider veins of the legs and face. We have advanced  body contouring. We also have specific lasers to improve skin tone and texture and to diminish facial blemishes and acne scars.

No matter what your needs are we will give you honest and ethical advice. We use products and procedures that are safe and effective. All the staff are fully and appropriately trained.

We promise to treat you with dignity, courtesy and consideration. We will be sensitive to your concerns and only recommend treatments that are right for you.
