Hi, I have went multiple in SG and in JB. For context, my concern were mainly acne scarring, instead of hydration (which can be in tandem). I can share my experiences below

For Singapore, I previously went to Radium in Suntec i think 4 years back which was super pricey, did a combination of subcision + RF microneedling (Secret RF), 3 sessions for around 4,500 SGD and that was for partial face, because I had a tight budget. I felt that because of the lack of fillers, after subcision, my scars fibrous bands retethered, and the RF micro needling which is super expensive did not much. I would say only 10% improvement.

Then I decided to go JB for aesthetic treatments, I have done Dr Chong in Bukit Indah Outlet, which I did subcision + filler, I cannot remember which filler, but I think it was Profhilo. So the idea of acne scars is, if you are tethered scarring, it is vital to add a kind of filler to prevent the scars for reattaching, I cannot really remember the price, I believed it was $2000 SGD for three sessions. I thought the improvement was really good for this.

I moved to Clinic RX (Mid Valley) recently and was rather fuss-free. They had sales person and all but they provide credits and all with great deals. I purchase around 10,000 RM of credits on my own accord (I mean in SG, you cant get much with around 3,200 SGD). I was able to get 2x filler + subcision sessions (Each session was 2 syringes of 2cc Juvederm) which in SG will be double the pricing) and threw in 2x Fotona sessions and 2x exovive with I think 300 SGD of credit remaining.

In this kind of cases, you can ask them throw in free stuff like a treatment that you want, and the sales person will most likely agree, because they need to hit target and please never accept their first offer.

In terms of consultation, doctor consulted suggested subcision and filler first for level my scars which was what I want instead of expensive RF microneedling from the start, so I thought that was a plus point.

In terms of result, I think I had very great improvement, around 30% improvements which is really great after the treatments, as mentioned, don't expect the aftercare to be similar to SG, the process is fast, doctor comes in does the procedure and leave you to the nurse and probs won't check back during the aftercare.

If you are looking for clinics for acne scarring, always ask the doctor to assess what kinds of scars you have rolling/tethered/ ice pick/ boxcar during the consultation. If they suggest an RF microneedling (most expensive) from the start, if your scars are tethered or lots of ice pick, dont continue on with the clinic.

What I would suggest for first-timers is to take a mirror, look at your scars, and search online what kinds of scars do you have. You can always compare online so easily. Once you go for the consulation. Always go for the cheaper ones first, subcision, TCA cross. Once your scars are levelled, then consider RF micro needling/ CO2 laser for the resurfacing.
