Part of our Marketing Costs & Pricing guide →
Updated October 2026. Aesthetic medicine is where Singapore’s medical advertising rules and Google’s ad policies collide hardest. Across 115 deduplicated keywords, the volume-weighted top-of-page bid is S$14.51, ranking #4 of 15 in our Singapore Medical CPC Index. Yet one of the vertical’s biggest single searches, “botox singapore” at 1,000 searches a month, has no bids at all. The priciest treatment group this month is Pico & pigmentation lasers, at S$21.92.
The figures come straight from the Google Ads API (Keyword Planner, Singapore, English) and are refreshed every month. Below: what each treatment costs to advertise, the most expensive searches, when demand peaks, what Google won’t let you buy, and how the HCS (Advertisement) Regulations shape aesthetic clinic marketing.

Aesthetic medicine CPC by treatment
Keywords grouped by treatment, with bids weighted by search volume. Botox searches don’t appear here because they attract no bids (see below).
| Treatment / service | Keywords | Searches / mo | Top-of-page bid (low–high) | Most-searched keyword |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pico & pigmentation lasers | 18 | 2,590 | S$4.95–S$21.92 | pico laser singapore |
| Body contouring | 5 | 750 | S$7.13–S$19.24 | fat freezing singapore |
| Dermal fillers | 12 | 1,570 | S$4.34–S$16.41 | lip fillers singapore |
| HIFU, Thermage & Ultherapy | 18 | 3,080 | S$4.34–S$13.66 | ultherapy singapore |
| Aesthetic clinic searches | 30 | 4,820 | S$3.01–S$11.93 | aesthetic clinic singapore |
| Laser hair removal | 6 | 400 | S$3.26–S$11.07 | laser hair removal singapore cost |
| Skin boosters (Profhilo, Rejuran) | 20 | 2,220 | S$2.29–S$10.91 | rejuran singapore |
What drives the order:
- Course value. Pico laser for pigmentation and body contouring are usually sold as a course of sessions, not a single visit. A patient who signs up for six sessions is worth several times a one-off skin booster, and the bids reflect that. “pico laser singapore” sits at S$29.33 on 1,300 searches a month.
- Brand-name devices and products. Patients search for Ultherapy, Thermage, Profhilo and Rejuran by name. That concentrates demand on a few terms, such as “ultherapy singapore” (S$19.21) and “rejuran singapore” (S$10.74), which every clinic stocking the product bids on.
- Doctors versus beauty salons. Many non-surgical searches (“hifu”, “laser hair removal”, “facial”) are also contested by beauty salons and spas. Their bids push up the generic terms, even though spas can’t legally advertise medical procedures.
The most expensive aesthetic keywords in Singapore
| Keyword | Searches / mo | Low bid | High bid | Competition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pico laser treatment singapore | 50 | S$6.73 | S$33.54 | Medium |
| pico laser singapore | 1,300 | S$6.01 | S$29.33 | High |
| best pico laser singapore | 70 | S$6.05 | S$27.06 | High |
| beauty clinic singapore | 50 | S$3.91 | S$25.86 | Medium |
| fat freezing treatment singapore | 50 | S$10.99 | S$22.46 | Low |
| fat freezing singapore | 390 | S$8.17 | S$22.37 | High |
| nose fillers singapore | 170 | S$5.86 | S$21.07 | Medium |
| ultherapy singapore | 1,000 | S$6.33 | S$19.21 | High |
| aesthetic singapore | 320 | S$4.27 | S$19.04 | Medium |
| chin fillers singapore | 140 | S$4.71 | S$18.95 | Medium |
| lip fillers singapore | 390 | S$4.78 | S$17.10 | High |
| skin booster singapore | 260 | S$3.67 | S$17.08 | Medium |
| laser for pigmentation singapore | 110 | S$4.58 | S$16.36 | Low |
| medical aesthetics singapore | 50 | S$3.03 | S$16.31 | Medium |
| profhilo singapore | 260 | S$3.19 | S$16.30 | High |
Two patterns stand out. Treatment-plus-area filler searches such as “nose fillers singapore” (S$21.07) and “chin fillers singapore” (S$18.95) price above the broad “fillers singapore” (S$14.50). Patients searching a specific area are closer to booking. Generic clinic searches such as “aesthetic clinic singapore” (1,600 searches a month) bid lower per click. They are the biggest single traffic pool, though, and the one where a clinic’s map-pack ranking matters most.

Aesthetic search demand by month
Total monthly searches for the tracked aesthetic medicine keywords. Peak: March 2026 (26,480); low: August 2026 (15,930).
Aesthetic demand in Singapore is seasonal. Patients tend to book treatments ahead of Chinese New Year, weddings and the year-end party season, and pigmentation and laser interest rises after periods of strong sun. Searches dip immediately after the festive peaks. If you run ads, shift budget into the build-up weeks. If you rely on SEO, refresh treatment pages a couple of months before each peak.
Aesthetic searches Google won’t show data for
We check the core treatment terms by exact match every month:

| Search term | Keyword Planner, October 2026 |
|---|---|
| botox singapore | 1,000 searches, no bids |
| jaw botox singapore | No data returned |
| fillers singapore | 320 searches, S$4.60–S$14.50 |
| profhilo singapore | 260 searches, S$3.19–S$16.30 |
| pico laser singapore | 1,300 searches, S$6.01–S$29.33 |
Two different things are happening here:
- Botox: searches, no bids. Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine. Google’s healthcare and medicines policy doesn’t allow prescription drugs to be promoted in Singapore ads, so “botox singapore” shows 1,000 searches a month and no bids. “jaw botox singapore” returns no data at all.
- Fillers and skin boosters: bids allowed. “fillers singapore”, “profhilo singapore” and “pico laser singapore” all show normal bid ranges. Clinics can advertise these treatments, within the HCS (Advertisement) Regulations.
So the toxin market, one of the largest single sources of aesthetic demand, can only be reached through organic search. Factual, compliant treatment pages that rank for “botox singapore”, “jaw slimming” and “anti-wrinkle injections” reach patients that no ad can.
What patients search vs what your ads can say
Aesthetic clinics run by doctors are HCSA licensees, so their advertising falls under the HCS (Advertisement) Regulations 2021 and the Singapore Medical Council’s ethical code. Patients still search with superlatives and bargain words:
| Searcher modifier | Keywords | Searches / mo | Avg high bid | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| “best” | 7 | 690 | S$14.17 | best aesthetic clinic singapore, best pico laser singapore, best laser hair removal singapore |
| “top” | 1 | 50 | S$14.78 | top aesthetic clinic singapore |
| “cheapest / lowest price” | 2 | 60 | S$15.17 | cheapest pico laser singapore, cheapest rejuran singapore |
For aesthetic clinics, the rules that bite hardest are:
- No before-and-after photos in advertising, even with a disclaimer. They can be shown during a consultation on the premises.
- No promotional pricing. “Promotion”, “trial price”, “first session free”, “complimentary”, package discounts and usual-versus-now pricing all count as soliciting. You can state the exact price of a treatment.
- No time-bound result promises. “Visible results after one session” or “glass skin in two weeks” create unjustified expectations.
- No reproduced or paid reviews. Influencer posts paid for by the clinic, and testimonials copied into ads, are out. Organic reviews posted directly by patients are allowed.
- Laudatory terms such as “best”, “top”, “premium” and “most advanced” are prohibited even when accurate.
Non-medical spas and salons are a separate case. MOH’s FAQ states plainly that spas “are not allowed to advertise medical procedures”. If you see a salon bidding on medical treatment terms, that’s their compliance problem. Your ads still have to follow the rules.
Ads vs SEO for an aesthetic clinic
If one clinic ranked first organically for every keyword in this dataset, the clicks would be worth roughly S$38,529 a month in equivalent Google Ads spend. That’s before counting botox searches, which have no ad equivalent at all.

MOH’s FAQ draws the line clearly: SEO “is not considered as ‘advertising’”, while paid search is “governed by the HCS (Advertisement) Regulations”. Your site’s content must still comply, but a clinic that ranks for “pico laser singapore” or “botox singapore” with a factual treatment page never has to write “best” to be found. A practical split:
- Google Ads for advertisable treatments with clear intent, such as pico, HIFU, fillers and skin boosters. Use plain copy, exact prices on the landing page and no dynamic keyword insertion.
- SEO for toxin treatments, generic “aesthetic clinic + area” searches, and the research-stage questions patients ask before booking.

Methodology
How this index is built. Every month we pull Google Ads Keyword Planner data through the Google Ads API for Singapore (English, Google Search network). We seed each medical vertical with its core treatment terms, then:
- Collapse close variants. Keyword Planner reports “boob job singapore” and “breast implant singapore” with identical numbers. We count them once.
- Drop navigational searches. Clinic and hospital brand names are excluded, along with anything under 30 searches a month.
- Report the top-of-page bid range (low and high) in SGD. Our headline “CPC” is the volume-weighted high end: what it typically takes to show above the organic results.
- Probe restricted terms by exact match to record where Google withholds data or shows no bids.
Top-of-page bids are Google’s forecasts, not any one clinic’s actual cost per click. Quality Score, ad schedule, device and competition on the day move real CPCs above or below this range. Use the index to compare treatments and verticals, not to set a single bid.
