Fillers Injection

A consultation to discuss your treatment goals is absolutely necessary. It allows Dr. Wong to review your facial features and discuss with you the priorities and the areas that need filler correction and augmentation.

A full financial counselling of the fees will be carried out before you proceed with the treatment. The cost of treatment is dependent on the type and quantity of filler that will be used.

Numbing cream is usually applied to the treatment area before injection, and local anaesthesia may be administered for more sensitive skin. Even lip fillers can be completely pain-free under appropriate anaesthesia. The whole treatment usually takes about 15–45 minutes. Dr. Wong, a dermatologist in Singapore, will use either a fine needle or blunt cannula depending on the area and depth of treatment. The result is immediate and visible, and you can apply makeup right after the treatment and resume normal activities.

With 18 years of experience in fillers injection, Dr. Wong has used more than 1000 syringes of fillers! At Assurance Skin clinic, Dr. Wong has rejuvenated his patients on the forehead, temple, tear trough, mid cheek, jaw line, nasolabial fold and Marionette lines, as well as augmenting their brow, nose, lips, chin, ear lobe and acne scars.

Constantly interacting with experts around the world, Dr Wong is well versed with human facial anatomy and the different approaches and techniques in filler injections. An experienced specialist, Dr Wong blends the science and arts of fillers injection to restore facial features that look pleasant and truthful to yourself. He strives to give his patients a safe & visible improvement and yet maintain a natural and subtle look.

The most common side effect is bruising and minor swelling. These are usually mild or moderate in nature, and are short-lived (7 days or less).

The improvement is durable but not permanent. The results may last up to one year before it wears off gradually. Top up injections can be repeated every 8 to 12 months. If you discontinue the fillers injection, your appearance will not be any worse, as it will just gradually revert back to your original condition.

Fillers with Hyaluronic acid (HA)

It is the most commonly used because of its enormous ability to bind water e.g. Juvederm, Restylane, Teoxane and Stylage. HA fillers help to instantly reduce the appearance of unwanted wrinkles, restore fullness to the skin, and giving the face a natural and softer look. In Assurance Skin Clinic, we use Restylane and Stylage which are either FDA or CE approved.

Stimulating fillers

These are the alternative to HA fillers and they have 2 properties. Firstly, they add immediate volume to help smooth facial wrinkles and give a lifting effect to reduce the signs of ageing, just like HA fillers. Secondly, they contain active ingredients that stimulate collagen production in the skin to help the skin regain its original plumpness and elasticity. The overall effect is a youthful appearance with gradual improvement and natural looking results e.g. Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxyapatite), Ellanse (Polycaprolactone) and Sculptra (Poly-L-Lactic Acid)

Yes there is a 100% difference between Botox and fillers. Botox stops the small muscles in your face from making the movements that cause wrinkles, whilst dermal fillers plump from below the wrinkle to smooth them out and promote the youthful look. Botox usually lasts between 4-6 months whereas fillers tend to last around 12 months.
