The three shapes a full-face plan usually takes
The most common message our clinic receives is a photograph and some version of the same question. How much for everything.
It is a completely reasonable thing to ask. You want to know whether this is a conversation worth having before you take an afternoon off work. So rather than reply with "it depends", which is true and useless, let me give you the actual bands we see in practice, then explain what the remaining variables are.
All figures below are starting prices from our published price list, which is the current source. These are patterns rather than packages, and most people recognise themselves in one of them.
Maintenance
Typically someone in their thirties or early forties who is not correcting much yet and wants to hold their position.
Usually botulinum toxin from RM699, a skin quality treatment such as skin boosters from RM1,599 or polynucleotide treatment from RM1,850, and perhaps a light tightening treatment once a year.
Realistically: a few thousand ringgit a year, spread across two or three visits. This is the least expensive way to use a clinic, and the honest financial argument for starting earlier rather than later.
Restoration
Someone in their mid-forties to fifties, where laxity, volume loss and skin quality are all contributing and no single treatment addresses more than one of them.
A plan here commonly combines tightening such as SMAS lifting from RM1,850, structural support with a biostimulator from RM2,350 or dermal fillers from RM1,980, botulinum toxin, and something for skin quality.
Realistically: adding the floor prices gives roughly RM7,000, and almost nobody pays the floor, because structural work is rarely a single syringe. A restoration plan in practice runs into meaningful five figures across a full course, delivered over several visits rather than one.
Comprehensive
Where there is significant volume loss and a broad change is wanted.
This is where full-face volumisation of eight to ten millilitres or more comes in, staged across sessions, alongside tightening, resurfacing and maintenance treatment.
Realistically: a substantial investment, planned over twelve to eighteen months, and not something anyone should commit to in one appointment.
If you want a rough figure for your own goals before booking, our Treatment Planner produces an indicative estimate from these published prices without requiring an email address.
What moves you between those bands
Five things, roughly in order of impact.
How much volume you have actually lost. The single largest variable, and it is not predictable from age. Two people at fifty can need very different amounts.
Whether the problem is volume, laxity, skin quality or muscle. These need different treatments at different prices. Most faces have some of each, in proportions that are not obvious from the outside. How those four layers are separated is set out in our method.
Your facial structure. A larger facial skeleton needs more product to make the same visual difference. This is not about weight.
What you have had before. Existing filler, particularly if it is old, of unknown type, or a product that cannot be dissolved, changes the plan substantially and sometimes has to be addressed before anything new is added.
How much change you actually want. Some patients want to look rested. Some want a visible difference. These are different plans and different numbers, and neither is the wrong answer.
Why we will not quote from a photograph
I want to explain this properly, because it can look like an evasion and it is not.
Photographs distort, and phone photographs distort most. A selfie taken at arm's length with a wide-angle lens changes facial proportions noticeably. Features closer to the camera are enlarged, the mid-face flattens, and the relationship between thirds of the face shifts. Quoting from that image means planning treatment for a face that does not exist.
Lighting hides the thing I most need to see. Volume loss and laxity show in oblique light and disappear under flat overhead or front-facing light. Most selfies are lit in the way that conceals exactly what I would be assessing.
A still photograph shows a face at rest. A great deal of the assessment happens on movement: how the skin folds, how the muscles pull, where support has gone. I need to see you smile, frown, purse and relax.
I need to touch the face. Skin thickness, tissue quality, how mobile the tissue is over the bone, whether a fold is tethered or simply shadowed. None of that is visible in any image at any resolution.
And there is a medical reason as well as a practical one. A treatment plan is a clinical decision. Producing one from a photograph, without a history, without knowing your medications, without knowing whether you have had a product injected that cannot be dissolved, is not a quote. It is a guess with a price attached.
So when a clinic sends back a full plan and a figure within ten minutes of receiving a selfie, that speed is not efficiency. It means they are selling from a menu rather than assessing a face, and menu selling is how people end up with the treatment the clinic wanted to sell rather than the one they needed.
You are not paying for it all at once
This is the part that reassures people most, and it rarely gets said.
A full-face plan is a sequence, not a bill. Foundation first, review, then refinement. In practice that means several visits across a year or more, and you pay as you go.
Two consequences follow, and both work in your favour.
You can stop, pause or reorder at any point. If we agree a plan across six visits and you want to do three now and decide later, that is entirely normal. We will tell you honestly what a partial result will look like.
The plan often shrinks. This happens more often than not. Restoring support in the right place frequently reduces what is needed elsewhere, so the later stages turn out smaller than the initial estimate. A plan quoted honestly at the start tends to cost less by the end, whereas one built area by area tends to grow.
We will also tell you the full expected cost before the first treatment rather than after it, and we do not sell prepaid packages, so nothing commits you to sessions you may not need.
What the consultation actually produces
RM50, charged whether or not you proceed, because you are paying for medical time rather than attending a sales appointment. Our doctors work on no commission.
What you leave with:
A diagnosis rather than a treatment list. What is actually causing the appearance you dislike, which is frequently not what you assumed.
A written plan with the sequence, the intervals and the reasoning.
Your exact number, with quantities attached, not a range.
A view on what to do first if you would rather stage it, and what that partial result will look like.
And occasionally, an honest no. Some patients are better served by surgery. Some do not need anything yet. Some have a concern that will settle on its own. That answer costs you RM50 and saves you considerably more.
The short version
Maintenance is a few thousand a year. Restoration reaches five figures across a full course. Comprehensive work is larger and staged across a year or more.
Where you sit depends on how much volume has gone, what is actually causing the appearance, your facial structure and how much change you want. The first three of those need an examination, and the fourth needs a conversation.
Fifty ringgit turns the range into a number.
Frequently asked questions
Maintenance plans run to a few thousand ringgit a year. Restoration plans reach meaningful five figures across a full course delivered over several visits. Comprehensive work is a larger investment staged across twelve to eighteen months. Your exact figure comes from an examination.
Because a plan requires an examination, a history and an assessment on movement. A figure produced from a photograph is a guess, and a clinic that produces one quickly is quoting from a menu rather than assessing your face.
Yes. Our Treatment Planner gives an indicative figure from our published prices based on your goals, with no registration required and no email address needed.
No, and most people do not. A full-face plan is sequenced across visits and you pay as you go. You can pause or reorder it at any point, and we will tell you honestly what a partial result will look like.
It should not, and more often it gets smaller, because correcting the foundation reduces what is needed elsewhere. We tell you the full expected cost before the first treatment rather than after it.
No. You pay for the sessions you actually have, which means if you need fewer than planned, you pay for fewer. Prepaid packages create pressure to continue treatment that may no longer be appropriate.
Then we prioritise. There is almost always a sensible order, and doing the first two stages well is better than spreading a budget thinly across six.
A diagnosis rather than a treatment list, a written plan with sequence and reasoning, your exact number with quantities attached rather than a range, and a view on what to do first if you would rather stage it. Occasionally an honest no: some patients are better served by surgery, and some do not need anything yet.
