View the shortlist →Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers — the most commonly used type — have an excellent safety record when administered by trained medical professionals. HA is naturally found in the body and is reversible with hyaluronidase (Hyalase) if complications occur. The most serious risk is vascular occlusion (blockage of a blood vessel), which is rare but can cause tissue necrosis or blindness if fillers inadvertently enter a blood vessel. This underscores the importance of using a trained, experienced injector with proper knowledge of facial anatomy.
HA filler longevity varies by area and product: lips 6–9 months, nasolabial folds 9–12 months, cheeks 12–18 months, under-eyes 12–18 months, nose 9–12 months. Thicker/denser fillers (e.g., Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft) for structural support last longer than softer fillers used for fine lines.
Botox relaxes muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles (lines caused by movement). Fillers add volume and structure — they fill static wrinkles, restore lost facial volume, and reshape features. They are complementary treatments: many patients benefit from both. Botox: results take 3–5 days, last 3–4 months. Fillers: immediate results, last 6–18 months.
Filler pricing in Singapore is typically per 1ml syringe. Costs range from $600 to $1,800 per 1ml depending on the brand, treatment area, and clinic. A typical treatment plan may use 1–4ml depending on goals. Premium brands (Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft) cost more than standard ranges. Most patients spend $800–$3,000 per treatment visit for facial rejuvenation.
With proper technique and correct product selection, fillers should look natural and stay in position. Migration is more of a concern with older, less cohesive products. Modern high-cohesivity fillers (Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft) have low migration risk. 'Pillow face' or unnatural results are a consequence of over-treatment, not the product itself. A good aesthetic doctor will counsel against over-filling.
