Two independent practices, one working relationship since 2007

The principals co-founded Cutis Medical Laser Clinics in Singapore in 2007 and lead it today: Dr. Sylvia Ramirez as Medical and Scientific Director, Gunther Scherz as Managing Director. Running a medical aesthetics practice together for nearly two decades is where the two disciplines met: clinical evidence and medical governance on one side, P&L, operations and growth on the other. They have published together since 2021. Each practice is contracted through Abilitas Consulting and delivered by its principal in person.

No leverage model

No junior teams and no hand-offs. The principal you meet is the person who does the work.

Based in Singapore

Both principals are based in Singapore, where no work permit is required, and both work on site across Asia-Pacific.

A shared research record

Seven peer-reviewed papers and book chapters co-authored since 2021, on aesthetic medicine, patient decision-making and ethics.
