How 1 Doc International Is Redefining Beauty and Wellness in Malaysia

A Hub for Wellness.

The idea of beauty in Malaysia has shifted noticeably over the past decade. Today, it is less about quick fixes and more about long-term care, balance and confidence. At the centre of this evolution is 1 Doc International, a homegrown wellness group that has steadily reshaped how aesthetic care is approached, experienced and understood.

 

Explore 1 Doc International’s approach to contemporary aesthetic care, combining advanced technology with personalised treatments across four specialised brands.

Founded in 2016 by Dr Michael Ong with the opening of its first One Doc outlet in Puchong, the group has since grown into one of the region’s most recognisable wellness names. With more than 50 outlets across Malaysia and Singapore and a team of over 700 professionals, 1 Doc International now supports hundreds of thousands of clients seeking non-surgical, technology-driven aesthetic solutions.

At its core, the group brings together advanced technology with personalised care across four specialised brands. Each addresses a distinct concern while sharing a common philosophy of gradual, considered improvement rather than drastic change.

One Doc

Skin concerns rarely appear overnight. Changes in tone, pigmentation and radiance tend to develop gradually, influenced by stress, lifestyle and environmental exposure. One Doc was created with these realities in mind.

Rather than positioning itself as a place for instant transformation, One Doc focuses on gentle, technology-supported treatments designed to refresh the skin over time. Using Korean-inspired PicoPulse and multi-pulse technologies, the approach prioritises comfort and consistency, with the aim of supporting a more even-looking complexion and healthier-looking skin.

Treatments are customised based on individual skin needs, allowing clients to address concerns such as dullness or uneven tone in a measured way. The emphasis is not on dramatic shifts, but on helping skin appear clearer, more hydrated and naturally luminous.

Hair Doc

Hair thinning and hair fall are no longer concerns limited to later life. Increasingly, younger clients are seeking advice and support as they notice changes in hair density or scalp condition.

Hair Doc was developed to respond to these concerns with a calm, structured approach. Central to its offering is a proprietary serum formulated to support the scalp environment and hair roots, alongside technology-assisted treatments inspired by Korean methods. By combining targeted scalp care with non-invasive technology, Hair Doc focuses on strengthening existing hair and supporting healthier-looking growth over time. 

Slim Doc

Slim Doc was created for individuals looking to support body shaping and toning efforts within realistic routines. The programme integrates Korean-inspired body contouring and muscle-toning technology with personalised guidance, positioning itself as a complement to an active lifestyle rather than a replacement for it. Rather than promising extremes, Slim Doc aims to make change feel achievable and sustainable, especially for those navigating busy schedules.

Perfect Doc

Facial changes associated with ageing tend to be gradual, affecting firmness and contour rather than surface-level concerns. Perfect Doc offers a option through non-surgical treatments designed to support facial structure and muscle tone. Using EMPulse technology, treatments work by stimulating and training facial muscles, similar to a targeted workout. The intention is to help restore definition and lift in a natural-looking way, without altering facial expression or identity. Perfect Doc’s approach is rooted in subtlety. Enhancements are designed to blend seamlessly with existing features, allowing clients to look refreshed while still looking like themselves.

Across all its brands, 1 Doc International reflects a broader shift in how beauty is viewed today. Wellness is no longer defined by instant results, but by thoughtful care, professional guidance and realistic expectations.
