Pico Laser vs Yellow Laser in Singapore: Brown Pigment, Redness and Acne Marks

Written by Dr Bernard Ong. Medically reviewed by Dr Gerard Ee Patients often compare Pico laser with yellow laser as though one is a stronger version of the other. They are not. Standard Pico wavelengths such as 532 nm and 1064 nm are selected mainly for melanin, so they are used for brown concerns including […]

Botox for Gastrocnemius and Calf Muscle Tightness

Quick answer.  Botulinum toxin type A injected into the gastrocnemius may relax a persistently tight, overactive calf. This can ease tightness and recurrent cramps and reduce the resulting load on the Achilles tendon and forefoot. Direct evidence outside spasticity is very limited, so treatment is reserved for carefully selected cases that have not improved with […]

Pico Laser vs Chemical Peel for Pigmentation, How to Choose

Written by Dr Bernard Ong. Medically reviewed by Dr Gerard Ee Choosing between a Pico laser and a chemical peel is not really a question of which treatment is more powerful. The more useful question is where the pigment sits and why it formed. A superficial peel can improve pigment in the outer skin together with […]

Laser Circumcision in Singapore – How It Works and How It Compares

Quick answer Laser circumcision uses a focused carbon dioxide beam to cut the foreskin and seal small blood vessels at the same time. This reduces bleeding during the procedure. It is the main method in the Singapore public system for children, where KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital performs around 1,100 to 1,200 childhood circumcisions a […]

Botox for Iliopsoas Syndrome, Psoas Spasm and Snapping Hip

Quick answer.  Botox (botulinum toxin type A), injected into the iliopsoas under ultrasound guidance, may relieve deep groin or hip pain caused by psoas spasm. It may also reduce a painful internal snapping hip when an overactive psoas tendon is responsible. Evidence is limited and comes mainly from spasticity and mixed myofascial pain studies, so […]

Botox for Tight Hip Flexors and Anterior Hip Pain in Runners and Cyclists

Quick answer. Botox (botulinum toxin type A) may relax persistently overactive hip flexors, including the iliacus and psoas, when anterior hip or groin pain has not improved enough with stretching and physiotherapy. Evidence for this specific use is limited and mainly indirect, so treatment is reserved for carefully selected, resistant cases. Medically reviewed by Dr […]
