    The Numbers Do Not Lie

    Price Comparison: Singapore vs Bangkok

    | Treatment | Singapore (SGD) | Bangkok (SGD equiv.) | You Save |

    |-----------|-----------------|----------------------|----------|

    | Rejuran Healer (2ml) | $800-1,200 | $350-500 | 50-60% |

    | Ultherapy (Full Face) | $4,000-6,000 | $1,500-2,500 | 55-60% |

    | Profhilo (2 sessions) | $1,500-2,000 | $600-900 | 55-60% |

    | Thread Lift (Full Face) | $3,500-5,000 | $1,200-2,000 | 60-65% |

    | Botox (3 areas) | $600-900 | $250-400 | 55-60% |

    The maths is simple: Even with flights ($150-300 return) and a night at a nice hotel ($100-200), you are still saving hundreds to thousands.
