Last reviewed: 23 Oct 2026 Most people who book a mole removal have already made the decision before they arrive. The mole catches on a collar, or sits awkwardly on the cheek, and the question in their mind is how to remove it — laser or surgery, and how big the scar will be. That is the second question.

What Happens at a Dermal Filler Consultation
Medically reviewed by Dr Loh Hong Yuh and Dr Sy Li Lin · October 2026 Quick answer: A proper dermal filler consultation covers your medical history, an in-person facial assessment at rest and in movement, a discussion of what is actually bothering you, a treatment plan, and a frank explanation of risks — before you consent to anything.

Dermal Filler Aftercare: What to Expect in the First Two Weeks
Medically reviewed by Dr Loh Hong Yuh and Dr Sy Li Lin · October 2026 Quick answer: Most swelling after dermal filler settles within three to five days, and the final result takes about two weeks to appear — longer under the eyes. What you see on day two is not your outcome.

Uneven Skin Texture: Why Skin Feels Bumpy Even When It's Not Dull
Quick answer: Uneven skin texture describes a surface that feels bumpy, rough, or irregular to the touch—even when the skin looks reasonably clear and bright. It's caused by things like clogged pores, tiny bumps, old acne marks, sun damage, and buildup of dead skin cells. Because several different issues can create the same rough feeling, a clinical assessment is the most reliable way to find the cause and plan the right treatment.

PIH vs PIE: Why Your Acne Marks Need Different Care
Quick answer: PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) is a brown, tan, or gray mark caused by excess melanin, while PIE (post-inflammatory erythema) is a pink, red, or purple mark caused by damaged or dilated blood vessels.

If your breakouts clear up but leave behind stubborn spots, you're not alone. Many peo
