Want to know where to go for botox in Singapore? Or maybe you’re curious about the transformational potential of wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers and other minimally invasive injectables. Even if you’ve already started, you might want to know more about the longer-term benefits beyond a smoother face. Here we look at the options offered at five aesthetic clinics in Singapore.
3D facial sculpting – dermal fillers and botox in Singapore
Neuromodulators (like botox) and fillers form a dynamic duo designed to help you age gracefully. Botox is able to smooth away wrinkles and fine lines. So it can be great for preventative ageing and is remarkably versatile. “From using Baby Botox to soften forehead creases, to minimising crow’s feet and slimming the facial profile, botox, combined with advanced techniques and injection protocols, offers a tailored solution to address a myriad of concerns,” says Dr Maybelle Tan of The Belle Clinic. “And all with minimal downtime,”
Botox is just one piece of the puzzle. Fillers, including Profhilo, with their ability to firm and lift the skin, can restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. This plays an equal role in achieving a rejuvenated appearance.
“Whether it’s smoothing out stubborn lines, plumping up lips, hiding eye bags or sculpting cheekbones for a more defined look, fillers offer a lot of possibilities for rejuvenation,” says Dr Maybelle.
“Both botox and fillers can be used judiciously for younger patients. This can stave off the development of deeper lines and creases over time and also restore lost volume for subtle enhancements to improve confidence.”
Despite the rejuvenating potential of botox and fillers, it’s important to select a skilled cosmetic doctor as the expertise of the hands wielding the syringe can make all the difference. As Dr Maybelle points out, along with being able to administer treatments safely and effectively, a good doctor will also understand the artistry behind enhancing natural beauty.
At this aesthetic clinic, 3D facial sculpting starts with a detailed consultation. This is to assess your medical history, goals and concerns and to customise a treatment plan. “I’ll tailor each treatment to suit your individual needs. And use both subtle refinements or more dramatic transformations if necessary,” says Dr Maybelle. “Achieving a ‘snatched’ look has never been easier or more attainable.”

HeavenGlow treatment – PDLLA and hyaluronic acid
The HeavenGlow treatment at SW1 Clinic offers a rejuvenating solution for ageing skin performed by aesthetic doctors. It blends the transformative powers of PDLLA (Poly-D,L-Lactic acid) and hyaluronic acid. It aims to address various signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity, to restore a youthful glow.
PDLLA, central to HeavenGlow, works by volumising the skin from within. Dissolving gradually, it triggers collagen production deep in the dermis, effectively restoring volume and firmness. Hyaluronic acid, renowned for its hydrating prowess, complements PDLLA by providing instant moisture and suppleness to the skin. This collaboration can not only enhance overall skin texture and brightness but also delicately minimise fine lines and atrophic scars. The outcome is a holistic improvement in skin firmness and volume, particularly advantageous for thinner skin types.
Unlike more invasive procedures, HeavenGlow requires minimal downtime, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities shortly after treatment. It’s suitable for all skin types and can be customised to address specific concerns. This makes it a versatile option for anyone seeking to combat the effects of ageing.
The team at this aesthetic clinic tailors each HeavenGlow session to meet the individual needs and goals of each patient, providing a safe, convenient and effective option for achieving a more youthful and radiant complexion.

A comprehensive approach to addressing facial ageing
While Botulinum toxin A and dermal fillers are different types of cosmetic injectables, the team at Cutis Medical Laser Clinics say that they complement each other nicely. The work in tandem to reduce signs of ageing, creating an energised and more youthful facial appearance. Having both treatments at the same time is ideal if you have moderate signs of facial ageing. These include forehead lines, crow’s feet and facial folds. Perhaps you want to rejuvenate your face without major surgery. Or maybe you’re considering a facelift but wish to try less invasive alternatives first.
Botulinum toxin A works by relaxing dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements such as frowning and squinting. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, smooth out static wrinkles or lines that are noticeable when your face is at rest. Fillers can also restore volume loss and enhance facial contours. Combining both injectables can improve multiple areas of the face simultaneously. Botulinum toxin A is usually injected on upper areas such as around the eyes and forehead. Fillers are typically used on the middle and lower areas of the face.
Other potential benefits include:
- Natural-looking results. Botulinum toxin A is used to relax muscles and fillers to define contours and restore volume, resulting in a balanced rather than “frozen” look.
- Fewer treatment sessions and minimal downtime. By shortening already low downtime you’ll have less disruption to your normal routines.
- Longer-lasting effects. Botulinum toxin A can last for three to four months (and fillers for up to 18 months), helping keep facial muscles relaxed. This, in turn, keeps the skin smoother and makes fillers last longer.
At Cutis, treatments are customised based on individual needs and goals. The clinic’s doctors guide you through your aesthetic journey using a patient-centric approach to help you achieve desired results. To find out if combining both injectables suits your beauty goals, call them for a consultation.

Deusaderm collagen fillers
Cienna Aesthetics Medical Clinic, founded by Dr YB Choong, has a special focus on nonsurgical eye aesthetic treatments. “We prioritise safety and results for our patients by only using Singapore HAS-approved products,” he says.
Deusaderm is a common treatment used in this aesthetics clinic. It’s an injectable collagen gel extracted from SPF porcine skin and purified using Sunmax Biotech’s patented purification platform. Containing a high DNA profile similar to human collagen, it can effectively restore lost collagen in the dermis, providing a natural and youthful appearance.
Deusaderm collagen fillers are injected into the skin to add volume, smooth wrinkles and improve the overall appearance of the eye. The collagen in the fillers works by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen. This helps to restore the skin’s elasticity and also reduce the signs of ageing. Over time, the collagen fillers are slowly absorbed by the body, leaving behind natural-looking and long-lasting results.
Dr Choong explains that Deusaderm is commonly used to treat periorbital conditions such as crow’s feet, tear trough deformity, eyebags, hollowness around the eyes, fine lines and wrinkles around the eye, and volume loss at the lower eye area. It’s effective particularly for dark eye circles and skin laxity because it degrades into various peptides that inhibit the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, resulting in a brighter and smoother skin tone, and also helps the skin to produce more collagen, resulting in improved skin laxity.
To find out if this treatment is suitable for you, reach out to Dr Choong for an assessment.

Enhance external appearance and internal wellness
Are you concerned about the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making you feel older and more tired? At Zest Clinic, Dr Reddy uses various techniques tailored to your specific skin type, ensuring natural-looking results with minimal to no recovery time.
“Whether it’s smoothing dynamic forehead wrinkles with botox injections or erasing static lines with soft dynamic hyaluronic acid fillers, our goal is to provide you with naturally refreshed and youthful skin,” says Dr Reddy. “Botox is popular because it temporarily relaxes the underlying facial muscles, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. And dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid or collagen-based fillers restore volume and fill in wrinkles, providing a more youthful and plump appearance to the skin.”
Biostimulators are another injectable treatment you might want to consider. They work well to stimulate collagen production in the skin, helping to improve the appearance of wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity. And micro-needling involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
A complementary signature treatment at this aesthetic clinic is for reducing crow’s feet wrinkles. It involves the use of lasers, targeting different aspects of skin ageing and potentially delivering long-lasting results. “By combining FDA-approved products and energy-based devices with our extensive experience, we prioritise safety, precision and consistent outcomes,” says Dr Reddy. “Our aim is to enhance your appearance in a way that looks and feels completely natural while accommodating your need for minimal downtime and offering predictable longevity.”
