Kim Lim, 28, who hasn’t been able to sell ultrasound facials, stimulate collagen or freeze fat for two months at her clinic, recently took to Instagram to vouch for the industry, which will not be allowed to operate when lockdown restrictions are lifted Monday. “If some businesses can resume with measures put in place, why can’t aesthetic clinics do the same? Private aesthetic clinics uphold the very high standards that are expected of all [Healthcare Institutions],” she wrote Thursday. Lim, whose Illumia Therapeutics is at Orchard Road’s Wheelock Place, also lamented the drain on her business’ finances due to its expensive equipment and products’ short shelf life. “The PICO lasers, Fat Freeze machines, [High-intensity focused ultrasound machines] come at a high cost with ongoing installments, even when we are not operating,” she said. “We have to watch other businesses resume, while our expensive stocks of botox, fillers expire in the fridge. Please spare a thought for us, as we are earning zero income and we are expected to pay our bills, our installments, rentals and staff salaries.” Lim noted that her business had been maintaining hygiene and social distancing measures even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit Singapore. “Face masks and gloves have been used when coming in contact with patients, needles only used once and we always sterilise all our equipment. We can operate only by appointment, keep services short, put in place social distancing, disinfect our premises more regularly, wear a face shield on top of our face masks etc,” she said. “There should be a BALANCE to everything. Shutting businesses down for an extended period is not the best way to deal with this, we can all learn to support and fight this together in a safe manner too,” she added.
