We spent an enlightening evening at Raffles City Singapore, where the esteemed aesthetic doctor shared her wisdom on maintaining youthfulness at any age
Can skincare and treatments truly turn back time? As the years go by, many of us ponder this question, hoping to age gracefully. This quest for timeless beauty was the focal point of an exclusive event last week. Together with Raffles City Singapore, Tatler Singapore invited a select group of beauty enthusiasts to explore ‘The Art of Graceful Ageing’. The intimate fireside chat was moderated by Tatler’s branded content director Dana Koh, who led an insightful discussion with the guest of honour, Dr Sylvia Ramirez.
Dr Ramirez, the medical and scientific director of Cutis Medical Laser Clinics, is a renowned aesthetic doctor with over 20 years of experience. With an extensive background in clinical practice and scientific research, she deeply understands the latest skincare and anti-aging innovations and has the expertise to help individuals achieve and maintain their best appearance at any age.

During their chat, Koh and Dr Ramirez discussed various age-related topics, from common skincare concerns for different decades to navigating the saturated skincare market. Dr Ramirez shared insights into the latest anti-aging treatments and key products essential for maintaining youthful skin. Her tip: gradually incorporate ingredients like peptides, retinoids, Vitamin C, and niacinamide into your skincare routine. She emphasized that consistency and patience are crucial for seeing visible results.
Ultimately, Dr Ramirez highlighted the importance of a holistic approach to ageing. Beyond rigorous skincare, she stressed adopting a positive outlook and maintaining a curious mindset to stay youthful from the inside out. “I hate the term ‘anti-ageing’ because of the connotation that ageing is not good,” she remarked. “I believe we should instead embrace it with joy.”
