Dr Charmaine Yeo
Medical Director & Aesthetic Physician · Single-physician clinic since 2016
Dr Charmaine Yeo founded Aera in 2016 with a single conviction: that aesthetic medicine is at its best when it is quiet. After years in general practice and aesthetic training, she grew tired of the over-treated, one-look-fits-all results she saw around her — and built a clinic that does the opposite.
She holds an MBBS from the National University of Singapore, is fully registered with the Singapore Medical Council, and has completed advanced training in injectables, lasers and energy-based devices. She treats every patient herself, from the first consultation to the final review.
Her philosophy is conservative and evidence-led: assess properly, treat a little, review, and build only if needed. She would rather under-treat and see you again than chase a dramatic result you didn’t ask for. The compliment she values most is “you look well” — not “what have you had done”.
Four principles, every visit
One doctor, start to finish
Every consultation, plan and treatment is carried out by Dr Yeo herself — never delegated to a therapist. You see the same face each visit, and the person assessing you is the person treating you.
Measured, never maximal
We treat conservatively by principle — a little less, reviewed, then built upon if needed. The result we’re proudest of is the one nobody can name. You should look rested, not done.
Evidence before trend
We choose treatments on the strength of the evidence, not the loudest marketing. If something fashionable won’t help you, we’ll say so — and recommend what actually will, even if it’s less.
Safety as the baseline
Proper assessment, honest contraindication checks, conservative dosing and a clear aftercare plan. A consultation is required because suitability is a medical decision, not a menu choice.
