Popular Questions That People Asked About Botox in Singapore

Botox in Singapore

Thinking of getting rid of your wrinkles with Botox? Well, make sure you do thorough research first so that you can make an informed decision! And one way to do that is to look at the questions that many people ask about Botox!

Who should not do Botox?

There are conditions where Botox will not be a good and safe alternative for you. If you are pregnant, you shouldn’t opt for Botox. If you are breastfeeding, you also shouldn’t opt for Botox. [1] Pushing to do it while you are pregnant and breastfeeding might endanger your baby to experience unwanted side effects.

Another group of people that should not use Botox are those who have an underlying neurological disease. Because the main purpose of Botox is to block the signaling process that affect the muscle movements of the skin, this might cause a negative side effect to the disease that you already have. It is so important to consult with a medical professional before opting for a Botox and have them explain to you why you should or should not go for a Botox.

Are Botox and filler the same?

No, they are not the same. The results might look very similar and people might not be able to tell whether this is from a Botox treatment or from filler treatment. However, the way Botox and filler work are completely different. As explained in the previous questions, the way Botox works is to somehow make sure that the signaling process in the nerve isn’t successful so that it doesn’t lead to muscle movements. Botox is supposed to relax the muscles or even paralyze it temporarily so it stops moving.

As for fillers, fillers are injected to fill up certain areas, or in other words “plump up” the areas. So fillers might be used to fix the symmetry between one cheek with another, or to plump up the chin for example. Again, the desired results might be very similar between filler treatments and Botox treatments, but the procedure and the way the treatment works are very different.

How much does Botox cost in Singapore?

The cost of Botox in Singapore ranges from around  $250 to around $2000. This depends on the type of treatment you are getting, the units you are purchasing in your package, and also the clinic or doctor of your choice.

Is there other alternatives besides Botox to get rid of my wrinkles?

Yes, there are other alternatives besides Botox to get rid of your wrinkles. The easiest ways to do that include buying and using the right skincare products that are specifically made to treat wrinkles. You will have to find the right face cream products for this because not all of them work. Basically taking a good care of your skin, consuming vitamins that helps keep the skin healthy, and using products that are fitting to your skin type and condition.

Other treatments include going for acupuncture. There are more studies around the success of Botox to treat wrinkles and there are way less records of acupuncture as a an alternative as good as Botox. However, acupuncture is known to make the skin more elastic and also make the skin more hydrated. [2] All of these are great to prevent and reduce wrinkles and lines in the face.

You can also probably try for other treatments similar like Botox in your beauty clinics. Where professionals inject other substances that work similar like Botox. The issue with this is that you have to really make sure the substances are safe and that the medical professional really confirm that these substances are medically approved. You can try chemical peels and also face patches, which are popular alternatives that people have used instead of Botox.
