Injectable treatments are an effective, minimally invasive way to rejuvenate the skin, reduce signs of ageing, and enhance facial features. At Stephanie Ho Dermatology, our goal is to help you achieve a refreshed and natural appearance through safe, evidence-based treatments tailored to your individual needs.
What Are Injectables?
Injectables refer to skin treatments where biocompatible substances are carefully injected into the skin by your specialist to address concerns such as:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Volume loss and facial sagging
- Dull skin or poor hydration
- Uneven facial contours
- Acne scars and signs of sun damage
These treatments are popular due to their quick procedure time, minimal downtime, and noticeable, natural-looking results.
Types of Injectable Treatments Offered
At Stephanie Ho Dermatology, we offer a range of injectable solutions. Each type of injectable targets specific skin concerns, and all products used are approved for use in Singapore.
1. Botulinum Toxin Injections
Botulinum toxin is used to relax specific facial muscles, helping to reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (glabellar lines)
- Crow's feet around the eyes
- Jawline (masseter reduction)
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- Enlarged pores and oily skin
Onset: 3 to 7 days
Duration: 3 to 4 months
2. Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid and are used to restore volume and structure to the face, improving facial contours and softening deep lines. Common areas treated include:
- Cheeks and cheekbones
- Temples
- Nasolabial folds (laugh lines)
- Marionette lines
- Chin and jawline
Results: Immediate
Duration: 6 to 18 months depending on product and area
3. Hyaluronic acid and Bio-Remodelling Injections
These injectable treatments use high concentrations of hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, giving a hydrated glow.
Ideal for treating:
- Facial skin laxity
- Fine lines
- Neck and décolletage
Treatment protocol: 2 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart
Duration: 4 to 6 months
4. Collagen-Stimulating Injections
These popular treatments use compounds that stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen over time. This gradual stimulation helps to restore facial volume and firmness naturally over time.
Used for:
- General volume loss due to ageing
- Facial sagging and contour restoration
Treatment protocol: 2-3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart
Results: Gradual improvement over 4-6 months
Duration: Up to 2 years
5. Hybrid Fillers
Hybrid fillers combine hydrating, collagen-stimulating and fat-stimulating components. They improve skin texture, support collagen and fat regeneration, and offer subtle volumisation.
Indicated for:
- Early signs of volume loss
- Fine wrinkles
- Skin texture improvement
Results: Gradual improvement over several months
Duration: Around 9 to 12 months
6. Polynucleotide Injections
These injectables contain polynucleotides, naturally derived molecules that aid in skin repair and regeneration.
Best suited for:
- Photodamaged skin
- Acne-scarred or sensitive skin
- Overall skin rejuvenation
Recommended course: 3 to 4 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart
7. Skin Hydrators (Skinboosters)
These involve multiple microinjections of hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin and improve elasticity, tone, and texture.
Common areas:
- Face
- Neck
- Undereye area (for dark circles and fine lines)
Sessions: 3 sessions initially, followed by maintenance every 6 months
What to Expect During Your Injectable Journey
Pre-Treatment Consultation
You will undergo a thorough consultation with our dermatologist to assess your skin condition, discuss treatment goals, and explain the available injectable options. Risks, benefits, and alternatives will be covered in detail, and there will be no obligation to proceed.
During the Procedure
Your comfort and safety are our priorities. We use fine needles or cannulas, along with numbing cream or local anaesthetic where needed, to ensure a well-tolerated experience. Once the skin is numbed, most treatments are completed within 15 to 30 minutes.
Aftercare & Recovery
After your treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions and remain available to support you during your recovery.
Follow-up appointments may be recommended depending on the type of injectable used and your response to the treatment.
