Doctor's Expertise

Why Technique Matters In Botulinum Toxin Treatments

Botulinum toxin is a highly technique-dependent treatment, where results are influenced not just by the product used, but by how precisely it is planned and administered.

Factors such as injection depth, placement, and dosage all play a critical role in achieving natural-looking and balanced outcomes.

  • Body composition, BMI, and Asian-specific health risk cut-offs (if applicable)

  • Fat distribution and key metabolic markers such as blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormonal balance

  • Lifestyle patterns including diet, physical activity, and sleep quality

  • Underlying medical factors that may impact weight loss, such as insulin resistance or thyroid dysfunction

This detailed evaluation allows us to understand not just your weight, but your metabolic profile and overall health status.

Options

Weight Management Options

Our structured weight management programme combines medical oversight, personalised planning, and evidence-based interventions to support measurable fat loss while preserving energy levels, metabolic balance, and overall wellbeing. Depending on your medical assessment, your customised weight loss plan may include:

Prescription-Based Weight Loss Support

Under close medical supervision, our doctors may prescribe clinically-approved weight loss injections to support appetite control and metabolic regulation. This can include GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide, where appropriate.

These treatments are integrated into a structured programme to enhance satiety, improve metabolic markers, and promote gradual, sustainable weight reduction while prioritising patient safety and ongoing monitoring.

Personalised Nutrition and Lifestyle Strategy

Sustainable weight management extends beyond prescription. Our doctors provide structured nutrition and lifestyle guidance tailored to your metabolic profile and health goals. This may include personalised meal planning, portion control strategies, exercise recommendations, and behavioural optimisation techniques. The objective is to improve metabolic flexibility, maintain energy levels, and support long-term adherence to healthy habits that reinforce sustainable fat loss.

Metabolic and Health Monitoring

Ongoing monitoring is a core component of our doctor-led weight loss programme.

We regularly assess body composition, BMI, waist circumference, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and other metabolic indicators. This data-driven approach allows our doctors to adjust your weight loss management plan as needed, ensuring progress remains measurable, safe, and aligned with improvements in overall metabolic health.

Adjunct Body and Fat Reduction Support

Where appropriate, additional treatments may be recommended to complement your weight loss journey.

These options can range from energy-based therapies to body contouring interventions that support fat reduction and body composition improvements.

All adjunct options are carefully evaluated by our doctors to ensure they align with your overall health goals without compromising safety or sustainability.

Overview

Overview of Hyperpigmentation Treatments

If you’ve been eating well, exercising, and still not seeing results, the issue is often not willpower. Weight loss is strongly influenced by hormones that regulate hunger, satiety, and how your body processes energy. When these signals are out of balance, even a structured diet and exercise plan can be less effective, making sustainable fat reduction more challenging.

Ghrelin: Your Hunger Hormone

Ghrelin acts as the body’s hunger alarm. When levels remain elevated, hunger signals can feel persistent, making it difficult to maintain a calorie deficit.

What this means for you: You may feel hungry more often or struggle to stick to a diet because your body is signalling for more energy intake.

Leptin: The Hormone That Signals Fullness

Leptin communicates to your brain that you’ve eaten enough. In some people, the brain becomes less responsive to leptin, a condition often referred to as leptin resistance.

What this means for you: Even after a full meal, you may feel unsatisfied, leading to snacking or larger portions, despite having sufficient energy stores.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What BMI qualifies me for a weight loss programme?

Our doctor-led medical weight loss programme generally focuses on adults with a BMI of 23 or above, consistent with Asian health guidelines for overweight and obesity.

In some cases, individuals with a BMI of 22 or higher may also be considered, depending on their overall health, metabolic risk factors, and a comprehensive medical assessment. There is no strict upper limit; every programme is tailored to the patient’s individual needs to ensure safety and effective results.

Individual results vary depending on metabolic factors, treatment components, and adherence to the programme. Some patients may notice changes in hunger or energy levels within weeks, while meaningful fat loss and metabolic improvements may take several months. Sustainable progress prioritises health and long‑term management rather than rapid weight loss.

Unlike fad diets or commercial slimming programmes, our medical weight loss programme includes a comprehensive health assessment, personalised planning, monitoring of metabolic markers, and evidence‑based interventions tailored to your health needs. It focuses on sustainable fat loss and overall metabolic wellbeing rather than temporary results.

Yes. Individuals with metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance, pre‑diabetes, or hormonal imbalances often benefit from medical weight management programmes, as these target underlying physiological factors that affect weight control and overall health.

Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers
What is Restylane® Kysse

Dubbed as the gold standard of lip fillers, Restylane® Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that’s designed specifically for our lips. Using XpresHAn™ Technology, it provides flexible movement and natural-looking volume while enhancing the texture and colour of the lips.

make an appointment
Benefits of Restylane Kesse

  • Luscious, plumped lips

  • Soft, natural-looking results

  • Smooths lip lines and wrinkles

  • Enhances the colour of your lips

  • Allows for flexible lip movements

  • More defined, volumized, and youthful lips

  • Longer-lasting results as compared to other lip fillers

  • Immediate results with zero downtime

What to Expect

Step 1

All Restylane® Kysse fillers come with lidocaine, an anesthetic, to ensure that your treatment is relaxing and entirely comfortable. Initially, a topical anesthetic will be applied on the injection site to numb the area.

Step 2

Our aesthetic doctor will begin the procedure with the first injection using an ultra-fine needle, before taking a pause to allow the lidocaine in Restylane® Kysse to further numb the lip area.

Step 3

The procedure then continues until the treated area shows the desired results. Thereafter, the injected area will be massaged to ensure that the filler gel is distributed evenly across the lips for natural results.

Are there any before and after photos of Restylane® Kysse results?

As dictated by Ministry of Health, we are not allowed to publish ‘before’ and ‘after’ images of aesthetic treatments. If you are interested in seeing the full before-and-after results please provide us with your name and email below, and we will send the images to your email address.

Restylane Kysse Frequently Asked Questions
Am I an ideal candidate for Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers?

Patients should not use Kysse lip filler if they:

  • Have a history of severe allergic reactions.

  • Have had a previous allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid fillers.

  • Are allergic to anesthetics, like lidocaine.

While both of these are hyaluronic acid lip fillers, they have slightly different formulas. Restylane® Kysse adds volume and enhances your existing lip shape and symmetry to create smooth, natural-looking lips. It can also treat smoker’s lines, or commonly known as wrinkles around the mouth.

Juvederm, on the other hand, is a great option for patients who are looking for a more voluminous look. When deciding on which lip filler, it depends on the look you want to achieve.

Due to the different formulations, Restylane® Kysse has a unique structure that lasts longer than other fillers. Most dermal lip fillers last around 9 months, however you can expect results lasting up to 12 months with Restylane® Kysse.

The discomfort experienced during the treatment varies from person to person and depends on factors such as:

  • Sensitivity of the patient

  • Pain tolerance of the patient

  • Anxiety level of the patient

Restylane® Kysse comes with anesthetic inside the gel already, hence discomfort is at its minimum.

All lip fillers have some mild side effects. You may experience some slight swelling and bruising on the injected area, but these should go away within 7 days.

  • As with other lip fillers treatment, a cold compress may be applied to the injected area to reduce swelling.

  • Avoid touching the injected area for at least 6 hours so that you do not accidentally injure your skin while the area is numb. Thereafter, the treatment area can be gently washed with soap and water.

  • Minimise strenuous exercise and exposure to excess heat, sun, or UV rays for the first 24 hours. Exposure to these may cause temporary redness, swelling, or itching at the treated area.

Full aftercare instructions will also be provided after the treatment.

Acne

A commonly overlooked yet physically and psychologically scarring problem, acne is a long-drawn problem that commences at puberty and can drag on well into one’s 20s to 30s. Adult-onset acne is also common, commencing in one’s 20s to 30s and dragging on well beyond that. Caused mainly by accumulation of dead skin, bacterial infection and uncontrolled inflammation, acne is a rather well understood medical condition. Hormonal influences, genetic factors, and even proposed dietary influences are known to be the underlying drivers of acne in some too. Early intervention is the best solution – less acne translates to less scarring, saving you precious time and finances required in attempting to resurface those pesky scars later on.

Acne Treatments

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels consist of mild acids that, when applied to skin, promote controlled exfoliation of skin as well as inactivation of the sebaceous units responsible for breakouts.

Used as a complimentary form of treatment to existing topical therapy, chemical peels can quickly and effectively control most forms of acne.

3-5 sessions are typically required at 2 weekly intervals to bring acne under control, with subsequent sessions done every 4-6 weeks for maintenance.

Find out more about Chemical Peels

Carbon Peel

Using a specialised laser and a black carbon-based ink on the face, sebaceous glands can be targeted, bacteria killed, and mild exfoliation performed.

Sessions done at 2-4 weekly intervals can help keep acne bay while also helping to lighten any post-inflammatory pigmentation left by the acne and even reduce pore size.

 Find out more about Chemical Peels

AGNES

For the larger, stubborn and recurrent acne, the use of a highly selective probe to deliver high radio-frequency energy into the sebaceous unit effectively and permanently inactivates the gland.

This more permanent solution to acne allows for effective management of recurrent acne without having to resort to oral medication such as oral isotretinoin.

Tattoo Removal
Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Newer methods of treatment are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Existing therapies involve the use of nano-second Q-switched lasers, but treatments prove difficult with many requiring 2-3 years of repeated visits at 2-3 monthly intervals. Newer methods of treatment involve the use of newly developed pico-second lasers. These lasers, firing many times faster than conventional Q switched lasers, fracture pigments more effectively. In effect, treatments are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Here at The Aesthetic Studio, we employ the use of the Lutronic Picoplus Pico-second laser for optimal tattoo removal; with 4 wavelengths of light at your disposal, removal of tattoos of varying colour and complexity just got easier.

With a high energy output, a wide range of precisely controllable fluence output and four wavelengths of light for increased versatility, the Picoplus Pico-second laser is optimised for tattoo removal and pigment management. 

Depending on tattoo complexity, 5-10 sessions may be required at monthly intervals for optimal clearance.

Combination with ablative lasers may be advised to reduce post-laser blistering commonly associated with tattoo removal.
