Weight loss injections in Singapore range from $300 to $1,500 per session, depending on the specific medication, dosage requirements, and treatment duration. Medical-grade weight loss injections require proper assessment and monitoring by MOH-registered doctors to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Semaglutide represents one of the most widely prescribed weight loss injections in Singapore aesthetic clinics. Monthly costs typically range from $800 to $1,200, depending on dosage requirements. The medication works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates appetite and food intake through the brain’s satiety centers.
Liraglutide offers another GLP-1 option, with monthly costs between $600 to $900. This daily injection requires gradual dose escalation over several weeks to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Most patients reach the therapeutic dose of 3.0mg daily within 4-5 weeks.
B12-MIC injections combine vitamin B12 with methionine, inositol, and choline to support fat metabolism. These weekly injections cost $80 to $150 per session. While less potent than GLP-1 medications, they provide metabolic support without significant appetite suppression.
L-carnitine injections facilitate fatty acid transport into cellular mitochondria for energy production. Sessions cost $100 to $200, typically administered twice weekly during active weight loss phases.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) injections cost $300 to $500 per treatment cycle, usually lasting 3-6 weeks. This treatment requires strict dietary protocols and close medical supervision due to the very low-calorie diet component.
Comprehensive medical evaluation costs $150 to $300 before starting any weight loss injection program.
Blood tests checking liver function, kidney function, thyroid hormones, and metabolic markers cost an additional $200 to $400. These baseline measurements ensure safe treatment and help identify underlying metabolic conditions.
Body composition analysis using DEXA scanning or bioimpedance technology adds $100 to $200 but provides accurate baseline measurements for tracking progress.
Starting doses typically begin lower to assess tolerance, with gradual increases based on response and side effects. Higher body weight often requires larger doses, increasing monthly medication costs by 20-30%.
Individual metabolic responses vary significantly. Some patients achieve target weight loss on lower doses, while others require maximum therapeutic doses for adequate appetite suppression.
Most weight loss injection programs require 3-6 months for meaningful results. GLP-1 medications often need 12-16 weeks to reach full effectiveness. Total program costs multiply monthly medication expenses by the treatment duration.
Maintenance phases after achieving target weight may involve reduced dosing frequency or lower doses, decreasing monthly costs by 30-50%.
Monthly follow-up consultations cost $80 to $150 per visit. These appointments monitor weight loss progress, adjust dosages, and manage any side effects.
Quarterly blood tests during treatment cost $150 to $300 to ensure continued safety and metabolic health.
Many clinics recommend concurrent treatments to enhance results:
Some clinics offer package pricing reducing per-session costs by 10-20%. A 3-month GLP-1 program might cost $2,800 instead of $3,000 when purchased upfront.
Payment plans through medical financing companies allow spreading costs over 6-12 months with interest rates between 0-5% for qualified patients.
While some medications include needles, others require separate purchase. Monthly needle supplies cost $20-40 for daily injections.
GLP-1 medications require refrigeration. Portable medical coolers for travel cost $50-100.
Antiemetic medications for nausea management may cost $30-50 monthly during initial treatment phases. Fiber supplements and probiotics to manage gastrointestinal effects add $20-40 monthly.
💡 Did You Know?
Weight loss injections work through different mechanisms – while GLP-1 agonists slow gastric emptying and increase satiety, lipotropic injections enhance the liver’s ability to process fats without directly affecting appetite.
“Price should never be the sole factor when choosing weight loss injections. The most affordable option may not suit your medical profile or weight loss goals. During consultation, we assess your metabolic health, previous weight loss attempts, and any contraindications to recommend the most appropriate treatment. Some patients achieve better results with lower-cost options due to their individual physiology.”
How much can I expect to spend for a complete weight loss injection program?
A comprehensive 3-month program including medications, consultations, and monitoring typically costs $3,000 to $5,000 for GLP-1 medications or $1,500 to $2,500 for lipotropic injections.
Do aesthetic clinics offer trial periods for weight loss injections?
Many clinics provide 1-month starter packages at regular monthly rates, allowing patients to assess tolerance and initial response before committing to longer programs.
Are weight loss injection costs covered by insurance in Singapore?
Weight loss treatments for aesthetic purposes typically require full self-payment. Specific medical conditions may have different coverage considerations.
What happens to the weight after stopping injections?
Weight maintenance depends on lifestyle modifications adopted during treatment. Some patients experience partial weight regain, while others maintain losses through continued healthy habits.
Can I reduce costs by purchasing medications elsewhere?
MOH regulations require prescription medications to be dispensed through licensed clinics or pharmacies. Self-importing medications poses safety and legal risks.
Weight loss injection costs in Singapore vary significantly based on medication type, treatment duration, and individual requirements. A thorough consultation determines the most suitable and cost-effective option for your specific situation.
