Society of Aesthetic Medicine (Singapore)

The Society of Aesthetic Medicine (Singapore) was formed in October 2005 by a group of aesthetic doctors. One of the main aims of the Society is to facilitate the development of aesthetic medicine in Singapore and fellowship of aesthetic doctors in Singapore and the region.

The Society has organised yearly conferences since 2007, as it strongly believes in promoting proper evidence-based education and research in aesthetic medicine. These meetings were called CAM (Conference of Aesthetic Medicine) but since 2009, they have been restructured to a one-day event comprising of a series of lectures and workshops. These subsequent meetings were referred to as the Annual Scientific Meetings.

Dear SAM members

The executive committee of 2022-2024 has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure continuing learning and sharing among members. There will be regular educational updates, which are not brand/product related, and which the educational content is directed by our own members. We held the CODE Eye meeting in February 2023, releasing our instructional video. And we held our Melasma updates in September 2023.

We will continue our long term collaboration with industry partners, by hosting talks and workshops to continually upgrade the knowledge and skills our members.

The Society of Aesthetic Medicine (Singapore) Conference 2024 (SAMC 2024) will be a platform for industry partners to showcase their newest offerings, and also serve as a platform to foster fellowship among our members. Themed "ADVANCING AESTHETIC MEDICINE : INNOVATIONS AND BREAKTHROUGHS" SAMC 2024 shall feature the newest advancements in all relevant areas of aesthetic medicine. Of note, there will be a dual dermatology track, with combined dermatology-aesthetic sessions. Specific segments have been carefully crafted to cater to the needs of our junior doctors. Pre-conference activities shall be packed with full day hands-on injectables workshop. Our Gala Dinner promises to be highly entertaining and shall showcase the most unique and spectacular performances in recent memories of Gala Dinners. SAMC 2024 shall apply for SMC CME accreditation of up to 8 points (with up to 4 points being non-aesthetic)(subject to approval of course).

I urge all members to actively participate in research and share your experiences in the above platforms (through poster submissions), particularly for emerging technologies, so that we may deliver the safest and best outcomes, for our patients.
