Filler / BOTOX Injection
What are fillers and BOTOX injections?
Fillers like hyaluronic acid filler can be used to fill in the spaces in the skin where fat had been lost (the cause of the skin to sag) and volumize the skin to make it tight.
Fillers can be used on the cheeks, temporal area, tear troughs, or the forehead. They also offer an immediate effect.
On the other hand, BOTOX injections are popularly known for their effect in anti-aging and have been around for quite some time.
BOTOX can relax the muscles of our skin, helping to reduce expression wrinkles. This produces a tighter skin appearance and a more youthful appearance for the face.
Results from BOTOX can be seen from day 3 - 10 after the treatment.
How we do fillers and BOTOX injections
Before any treatment, the most important step is for our specialist doctors, Dr Peter or Dr Loo, to analyze and understand your skin condition to be able to determine what type of treatment is the most suitable.
Depending on your skin condition and your expected results, the doctor will inject a specific volume or filler or BOTOX into the inner layer of your skin, giving you a tighter, fuller appearance on your face.
It is a quick procedure, and the pain is minimal if done by trained hands in a professional manner.
What to watch out for
Although injecting fillers and BOTOX may sound simple, it is extremely risky to have it done by untrained hands at unverified clinics or a non-specialist.
Any miscalculation or misconduct in the handling of the filler volume or injection process can not only lead to unwanted results but also cause side effects to our skin.
Dr Peter has also shared extensively on the importance of safety and effectiveness being the top priority when it comes to toxin or filler injection with various media outlets and emphasize this knowledge. Check it out below:

This treatment can treat the following conditions:
Wrinkles
Wrinkles are caused by the loss of moisture and the decreasing collagen production in our skin as we age. It is a natural aging sign but can be treated with the right treatments.
Sagging Skin (Face)
Sagging skin can be caused by genetics, skin damage from sunlight, lifestyle habits like smoking and alcohol consumption, and a lack of skin care. Of course, sagging skin can be treated with medical procedures and also anti-aging steps and efforts.
Dark Circles and Eye Bags
Dark circles under the eyes are caused by the darkened tissues and blood vessels beneath the skin at the eye area, and is usually a sign of lack of sleep. But eye bags, on the other hand, appear when the tissues and muscles around your eyes weaken and loosen due to skin aging. Topical cream are usually only effective in preventing eye bags, but if you already have eye bags, proper medical treatments are needed to get rid of them.
Acne and Acne Scars
Depending on your skin type, the type of acne or pimple you have can be different. And if not treated well, these acne may lead to acne scars. Acne and acne scars are usually long term problems, and requires regular management and maintenance during the recovery period.
