Editorial Policy & Content Standards
How we approach sourcing, accuracy, transparency and the responsible presentation of aesthetic health information.
This page describes our standards for new and substantially revised educational guides. It also states where we do not yet have verified authorship, medical-review or editorial-contact information.
POLICY UPDATED · 30 OCTOBER 2026
At a glance
Singapore Aesthetic is the publishing identity.
Educational information—not clinical diagnosis or treatment.
No named sitewide clinician is presently identified.
No verified public editorial inbox is currently published.
What responsible information should do.
We prioritise useful explanations, a clear relationship to evidence and realistic treatment information—not sensational promises or fabricated rankings. These are the standards for new and substantially revised content; some earlier site pages are still being expanded.
Answer the question
Explain the topic directly in plain language, separating general education from advice for an individual person.
Explain risks and limits
Discuss potential benefits alongside uncertainty, contraindications, possible side effects, aftercare and alternatives.
Support claims with evidence
Use appropriate, checkable sources, and distinguish well-established evidence from preliminary findings or marketing statements.
Our hierarchy of sources
Different claims require different sources. Regulatory facts should be checked against current Singapore authorities; clinical claims need evidence appropriate to the question, with careful attention to study limitations, dates and relevance.
Official Singapore guidance
For licensing, medical registration and health-product requirements, consult MOH, the Singapore Medical Council, HSA and other relevant authorities.
Professional guidance and studies
Where appropriate, use credible clinical guidelines, systematic reviews and relevant peer-reviewed research. Describe the population, outcome and uncertainty when important.
Transparent educational examples
Explain how procedures work or why decisions vary; don't treat a clinic's promotional material as independent evidence of efficacy.
Verify third-party claims
Check authorship, publication date, evidence and potential conflicts. User reviews or listicles alone do not establish clinical safety or superiority.
From a reader question to a useful guide.
This is the standard we apply to new and substantially updated pages. It is not a claim that every existing page has already completed formal specialist medical review.
Define the reader's question
Choose a genuine question, one main search intent and an appropriate scope; avoid near-duplicate pages with little additional value.
Verify important statements
Check official requirements, evaluate clinical evidence and identify what is known, unknown or context-dependent.
Explain decisions honestly
Give the direct answer early, then discuss alternatives, practical considerations, risks and when professional advice is needed.
Revisit material changes
Correct verified factual errors and update important information when reliable evidence or relevant rules change.
Authorship and medical review
Publishing identity: Singapore Aesthetic. We have not publicly named an individual sitewide editor or medical reviewer. Reader-facing claims of individual professional review will only be appropriate when the identity, qualifications, review role and date can be substantiated.
Names, editorial roles and relevant qualifications should be published only when genuine and verified. A brand byline alone is not medical expertise.
Do not assume an article was clinically reviewed unless it names a qualified reviewer, relevant verified credentials and a review date.
Medical claims and commercial independence
Medical claims
We avoid guaranteed-outcome language, unsupported superiority, blanket suitability and false certainty. Relevant risks, evidence gaps, recovery considerations and alternatives should be made visible.
This website cannot assess individual suitability or replace a registered medical professional.
Commercial relationships
If sponsored content, advertising, referral fees or affiliate relationships apply, they should be clearly disclosed. A paid mention must not be portrayed as an independent award, endorsement or objective ranking.
Mentioning a product, treatment or provider is not itself an endorsement.
When information needs to change
Health information and official guidance evolve. We distinguish editorial update dates from specialist review; a dated page is not automatically clinician-reviewed. No fixed review interval is promised unless it has actually been established.
Recognise a possible error
Examples include outdated regulatory details, unsupported medical claims, misleading language or a broken citation.
Verify against reliable evidence
Compare the content with current primary sources, professional guidance or relevant studies, including important caveats.
Correct and document
Revise confirmed factual errors, update a substantive revision date and describe a material correction where appropriate.
A dedicated, publicly verified corrections contact address has not yet been published. We will not describe an unverified or unmonitored inbox as a functioning correction channel. The official references below can help readers independently verify current regulatory and registration facts.

Is every guide medically reviewed?
No sitewide medical-review claim is made. Individual review should be assumed only where a guide identifies an appropriately qualified, verifiable reviewer and the review date.
Who writes Singapore Aesthetic content?
Content is published under the Singapore Aesthetic identity. A named individual sitewide editor has not been disclosed; we do not invent an author or credential.
How often do you update a page?
When verified material issues, credible evidence or official guidance warrant an update. This page does not promise a universal review frequency.
Can I use this information instead of medical advice?
No. Guides provide general education and cannot replace an individual assessment by an appropriately qualified clinician.
Continue with well-informed questions.
Learn about the publisher, review general treatment-safety guidance or explore questions to discuss with a qualified medical practitioner.
