Visiting from India:
planning a visit to Singapore

Getting to Singapore from India

Times are approximate and vary by route and season. The clinic is on Orchard Road; from Changi Airport it is usually 25 to 35 minutes by taxi or ride-hail outside peak hours, and the MRT also connects the airport with Orchard.

Time difference and clinic hours

Singapore is two and a half hours ahead of India (IST). WhatsApp messages to +65 8023 7170 are answered during clinic hours, Monday to Friday 10am to 8pm and Saturday 11am to 3pm, Singapore time (GMT+8). A message sent outside those hours is answered the next working morning.

Entry, arrival card and records

Indian passport holders generally need a visa for Singapore. Check the current requirements and how to apply on the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website or with the Singapore High Commission, and allow time for processing before booking. Submit the SG Arrival Card within the three days before arrival, free of charge on ICA’s website or the MyICA app.

Bring a list of your medicines and supplements, and the names, areas and dates of any earlier aesthetic treatments. If treatment was done in India and you have no records, the assessment still goes ahead; the filler done overseas page explains how unknown filler is assessed.

Language and follow-up at home

Consultations and written aftercare are in English.

You leave with written aftercare, and questions after you return come back through the same WhatsApp line. Urgent signs, such as white or mottled skin, worsening pain or any change in vision after filler, need emergency care locally without waiting for a reply. If a local doctor is involved in your follow-up, a written summary can be provided.

Skin of colour

Many treatments that involve heat or light carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory darkening in medium and darker skin. Settings, test areas, spacing of sessions and sun protection are planned with that in mind, and some treatments are approached more conservatively. The guides on pico laser and pigment risk and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation explain why.

Planning your stay

Consultation first, a night to consider the written plan, then treatment if you decide to go ahead, and a check before you fly where the treatment needs one. Three to five days covers most injectables and devices; thread lifts and resurfacing lasers are better planned with about a week, and programmes such as acne scar revision are usually a series of shorter trips. The trip planner sets out typical stays by treatment, and flying after treatment explains the intervals. This practice does not publish fees; they are quoted in writing after assessment.
