Aesthetic clinics in Singapore: More booked consults, without the hard sell patients hate

Singapore patients leave clinics that push packages, and choose the ones that tell them the price straight, on WhatsApp too. We answer every enquiry in seconds with your real price, book the consult, and bring back the patients who came once. All written for MOH's advertising rules.

01 / Aesthetic clinics

Where a clinic loses patients

The "how much?" at 10pm. Most enquiries come in after hours. If the reply waits until morning, the patient has already asked three other clinics and booked whoever answered.

The price, then silence. You send the price. They go quiet. Nobody follows up, because the front desk is busy with the patients in the room.

The consult that doesn't show. A doctor's slot sits empty. Staff feel awkward charging a no-show fee, and patients who just forgot get annoyed when they're charged.

The patient who loved the result and never came back. She was happy and left a good review. Then she disappeared. Most of the time she didn't leave for a better clinic. She just forgot, or another clinic messaged her first.

The owner doing three jobs. Doctor, marketer, receptionist. Something always slips, and it's usually the follow-up.

How Singapore patients pick a clinic

Ask around in Singapore for an aesthetic clinic and the same five things come up.

01No hard sellPackage pressure is the most common reason people say they left a clinic.
02The price, upfrontOn the website, Instagram or WhatsApp. And the WhatsApp quote should match the bill.
03A doctor who takes timePatients notice who explains the options and who rushes them through.
04Doubts about reviews and trialsMany find Google reviews hard to trust, and see cheap trials as bait for a package.
05Fear for a prepaid packageWhat happens to the money if the clinic closes?
Answer fast, state your price plainly and don't push. Most of your competitors throw that advantage away.

The rules your marketing has to follow

Your clinic holds an outpatient medical service licence. So the Healthcare Services (Advertisement) Regulations 2021 apply in full. Here's what that means in plain words.

Your ads can't
✕Show before-and-after photosNot even "after only" shots. A disclaimer doesn't fix it.
✕Use praise words"Best", "leading", "advanced", "premium".
✕Share patient reviewsNo testimonials, and no resharing a patient's post.
✕Use deal words"Promotion", "discount", "package", "free", "complimentary", "as low as". No time-limited or slashed prices.
✕Promise results by a date"Instant" and "in two weeks" are out.
✕Land on a phone uninvitedAn ad can't be sent to someone's phone without their prior written consent.
Your ads can
✓List your exact pricesPayment plans and packages can be mentioned only at the point of payment.
Why this matters to us: a marketing agency acting for a licensed clinic can be held liable under these rules too. So we write everything with them in mind.

07 / FAQ

Questions clinic owners ask

Can the replies quote prices?

+

Yes. MOH allows a clinic to list the exact price of a service. What the rules ban is the dressing around it: "from", "promo", strike-through prices, time-limited offers. Booked. gives the plain price.

Will it answer medical questions?

+

No. It books the consult and passes medical questions to your doctor or nurse with the full chat attached.

Can we message past patients?

+

For an advertisement sent to a patient's phone, MOH requires their prior written consent. Revived. works only with patients who have given it.

Can we use before-and-after photos or reviews in the replies?

+

No. The Regulations ban before-and-after and after-only photos in advertisements, and ban reproducing reviews or testimonials. Booked. doesn't send them.

How do we cut no-shows without upsetting patients?

+

A reminder before the consult, a clear policy stated at booking, and a deposit request if you choose to take one. The rules are yours.

Does it hard sell?

+

No. You decide what it offers. Your patients are already tired of being pushed, so a clinic that doesn't push stands out.

Do you guarantee more patients?

+

No one can honestly guarantee that. You'll see the numbers yourself: enquiries answered, consults booked, patients brought back.

What does it cost?

+

Booked. is S$997 a month, month to month. Clinics with a team of one to five can check if they qualify for a scholarship. Revived. is pay per appointment. MultiCasting is quoted after the call.
