The appearance-oriented generation today has given rise to the popularity of aesthetic medicine. Unlike plastic surgeons, aesthetic physicians are doctors with medical backgrounds and specialise in performing a wide range of non-invasive operations. These operations don’t involve cutting, stitching, or having to undergo anaesthesia.
In recent times, reports have emerged on botched plastic surgery, a result of treatment from unlicensed and unskilled surgeons. In view of this, it is increasingly difficult to find a trusted clinic and this is where GEM Clinic comes in.
GEM Clinic is a highly sought-after aesthetics expert in Malaysia that is authorised by the Ministry of Health and run by a group of LCP-certified physicians. Its mission is to enhance beauty and reverse signs of ageing.
To tell us more about the aesthetic medicine landscape in Malaysia and across the region and to share insights on future trends that are driving this thriving industry, we spoke to Dr Lenzo Ling, founder and CEO of Gem Clinic.
During the conversation, Dr Lenzo Ling also speaks about:
- An overview of aesthetic medicine and what differentiates it from spas and beauty salons.
- The popular aesthetic treatments among Malaysians.
- The business landscape and size of the market in the aesthetic medicine industry.
- Can a regular doctor be trained to become an aesthetic physician?
- The future of aesthetic medicine and its key market trends.
- Some golden nuggets from Dr Lenzo to doctors who want to enter the aesthetic medicine industry.
This interview is part of our media partnership with the Diverse Careers Summit 2022.
