What injectables treat
Different injectables address different causes of ageing and facial imbalance. Choosing the right one starts with understanding why a line or hollow is there.
- Expression lines on the forehead, frown and eyes
- Volume loss in cheeks, temples and under-eyes
- Lip shape and lip volume
- Nose, chin and jawline contour
- Dull, dehydrated or thin skin
- Square jaw and lower-face width

How injectables work
Botulinum toxin type A, such as Botox or Xeomin, relaxes the muscles that crease the skin. HA fillers, such as Restylane, are gels that restore volume or reshape features like the lips, nose and under-eyes, and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.
Skin boosters spread thin HA or regenerative ingredients through the skin for hydration, while collagen stimulators such as PLLA, Juvelook or PN products like Rejuran Healer encourage your own collagen over weeks. Our physicians often combine categories in one personalised plan, with doses chosen for a natural result.
Your treatment day
- Facial assessment Your physician analyses muscle movement, volume and skin quality to decide which injectables suit you.
- Personalised plan You agree the products, areas and order of treatment, including what can be done today and what to stage.
- Numbing and injection Numbing cream is applied where needed, then products are injected by needle or cannula in your private room.
- Review and aftercare The doctor checks symmetry, gives aftercare instructions and arranges follow-up or a WhatsApp photo check.

Injectables FAQ
Which injectable is right for me?
It depends on the cause of your concern. Expression lines respond to toxin, volume loss to filler, and dull or thin skin to boosters or collagen stimulators, which is why a physician assessment comes first.
Do injectables hurt?
Most feel like brief pricks or pressure. Numbing cream is used for fillers and boosters, and many fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort.
How long do injectables last?
Toxin usually lasts 3–4 months, skin boosters around 4–6 months, HA fillers roughly 6–18 months depending on area, and collagen stimulators often a year or more.
Can I combine several injectables in one visit?
Often yes. Toxin, fillers and boosters are commonly combined, and your physician will plan which areas to treat together and which to stage.
Can I fly home after injectables?
Most patients can fly the next day. Swelling after filler can be more noticeable for a few days, so we suggest allowing time before important events.
Are fillers reversible?
HA fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. Collagen stimulators and toxin cannot be dissolved but wear off gradually.
How much do injectables cost?
Cost depends on the products, amounts and areas. Message us on WhatsApp with your goals for a personalised quote.
