CALMED Recognised as a DEKA Centre of Excellence in Singapore
We would like to share a recent development at CALMED.
CALMED has been formally recognised as a DEKA Centre of Excellence, making it the first clinic in Singapore to receive this designation.
This recognition reflects how DEKA technologies are used in clinical practice at CALMED, rather than the presence of specific devices alone.
What a DEKA Centre of Excellence Represents
DEKA is a global manufacturer of energy-based medical and aesthetic systems used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.
A Centre of Excellence designation is awarded to clinics that demonstrate:
- consistent and appropriate use of DEKA platforms
- adherence to recommended clinical protocols
- operator training and familiarity with tissue response
- structured treatment planning and delivery
This designation is not automatically granted to clinics that purchase DEKA equipment.
Why This Is Relevant to Patients
Energy-based treatments are highly operator-dependent.
Even with the same device, outcomes can vary significantly depending on:
- treatment indication selection
- parameter choice
- sequencing and spacing of sessions
- understanding of tissue response
For patients, being treated in a Centre of Excellence setting provides reassurance that treatments are delivered within established usage frameworks, rather than trial-and-error approaches.
Technology Does Not Replace Clinical Judgment
Advanced platforms are tools, not solutions on their own.
Clinical outcomes depend on:
- appropriate patient selection
- knowing when a treatment is indicated
- knowing when it is not
- respecting the limits of each modality
The Centre of Excellence designation reflects a clinic’s approach to technology use, not a promise of results.
Why CALMED Sought This Recognition
CALMED’s treatment philosophy has consistently emphasised:
- suitability over trends
- conservative parameter selection
- consistency across sessions
- long-term skin health rather than short-term outcomes
The DEKA Centre of Excellence designation aligns with this approach by recognising structured, protocol-based use of energy-based systems.
What This Recognition Does Not Imply
To avoid misunderstanding, being a DEKA Centre of Excellence does not imply that:
- DEKA treatments are required for every patient
- outcomes are guaranteed
- treatments are more aggressive
- technology replaces clinical assessment
Treatment recommendations remain indication-driven and individualised.
CALMED as a DEKA Centre of Excellence
CALMED is located at Guoco Midtown II in the Bugis area of Singapore and is currently the first clinic locally to hold DEKA Centre of Excellence status.
This recognition supports CALMED’s ongoing focus on:
- structured treatment delivery
- responsible use of energy-based technology
- patient safety and consistency
Consultation at CALMED
For patients considering energy-based aesthetic treatments and seeking an assessment grounded in experience and protocol-driven practice, consultations at CALMED focus on suitability, expectations, and long-term planning.
