The future of skin wellness is being led by One Doc to help you become the best version of yourself
A chance meeting led two young enterprising doctors to set up what has now become a multi-award-winning beauty brand with the largest number of PicoPulse devices in Malaysia. One Doc, a locally established PicoPulse centre that started in 2016, prides itself as a one-stop destination offering non-invasive facial treatments for skin-related problems such as acne, pores, pigmentation and ageing skin.
By providing accessibility to everyone seeking to attain clear, radiant and youthful skin, One Doc has quickly stood out from the rest within the beauty industry. “For One Doc, we were very clear on what we wanted the business to be and that was to focus on non-invasive treatments from the get-go,” says Dr Michael Ong, chief executive officer of One Doc.
“We wanted people to know that they can come to One Doc for help if they are suffering from pimples, pores and pigmentation which consists of more than 95 per cent of common skin issues. It’s as simple as that,” shares Dr Terrence Teoh, managing director of One Doc.
Armed with research and development, One Doc co-created a brand new technology named PicoPulse with Korea’s number one Pico manufacturer, Wontech Co Ltd. The PicoPulse treatment produces dramatic results that can be achieved with lesser treatment sessions, lower costs, minimal discomfort and downtime, faster recovery and it is almost pain-free.
One Doc’s PicoPulse treatment uses non-surgical, non-invasive radiopulse technology where ultra-short pulses of energy are sent to targeted areas. The pulse’s impact on the skin is intense, shattering the problem skin pigment or particles. These are then eliminated naturally by the body. It is regarded as one of the most advanced skin treatments currently available in the market that suits all skin types.
With the success of their face treatments, it was only natural that One Doc soon diversified to hair growth. “After two years of starting the business, we established our very own hair treatment centres called Hair Doc. Here we focus on non-invasive hair growth solutions for all types of hair loss, dandruff and flaky scalp,” shares Ong.
Burning Ambition to be the Best
According to Teoh, “Our unwavering vision when we started this business was to be the number one derma care of choice. This is reflected in the meaning behind the company’s name, One Doc. One for number one and Doc for Dermacare of Choice.”
And they have certainly achieved that with a total of 34 outlets nationwide.
Since its founding, One Doc has been acclaimed for its game-changing approach to personalised beauty solutions. Both Ong and Teoh agree that this and other key factors have helped steer the company to success. “We ensure that we are transparent and honest with the treatments that we offer, from our pricing to the treatment process itself. This helps build trust with our clients. Another factor that the company is proud of is its high level of professionalism among our staff. Everyone from our consultants and therapists are professionally trained by doctors and equipped with the knowledge to perform satisfying skin treatments on clients,” shares Teoh.
“As a brand we are also very result-oriented. We look at in-depth clinical studies and advanced technologies to ensure that we are delivering effective and expected results for our clients. Prior to the pandemic, we used to travel to Korea often to work closely with our counterparts there,” adds Teoh.
“With the best results, safety is also a priority. We understand that many of our clients want fast and convenient service yet very effective. That’s where the non-invasive treatments that One Doc offers are able to deliver.”
