Skin boosters are not fillers. Instead of adding shape or volume, they place tiny amounts of hydrating hyaluronic acid, and in some products vitamins, amino acids or other nutrients, just under the skin. The aim is skin that looks more hydrated, smoother and more even, the 'glass skin' look many people ask about. Mesotherapy uses a similar micro-injection technique with different cocktails. Here is how we use both at Ageless Skin Clinic, Colombo 08.
What can Skin Boosters / Mesotherapy help with?
Boosters improve skin quality. If your concern is deep folds or lost volume, a combination with fillers or collagen stimulators may be more effective.
- Dehydrated, dull or tired-looking skin
- Fine crepey lines on the cheeks, neck and décolletage
- Rough texture and mild acne-scar texture
- Early loss of skin bounce
- Ageing hands, alongside or instead of hand fillers
Who is Skin Boosters / Mesotherapy suitable for?
They suit adults of most ages who want healthier-looking skin without changing their features, and people preparing for a wedding or event several weeks ahead.
When we may advise against it: We avoid treatment in pregnancy and breastfeeding, during active skin infection or a flare of eczema or acne at the site, and if you have had a reaction to hyaluronic acid products before.
How Skin Boosters / Mesotherapy is done at Ageless
- A skin assessment and agreement on the areas to treat
- Cleansing and numbing cream for comfort
- Small, evenly spaced micro-injections with a fine needle, or a cannula in some areas
- A gentle massage to spread the product
- Aftercare advice and a plan for your next session
Sessions and downtime
How many sessions will I need?
A typical course is 2 to 3 sessions about 3 to 4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 4 to 6 months depending on the product and your skin.
Recovery and downtime
Small bumps at the injection points usually flatten within 24 to 48 hours. Minor bruising is possible, so avoid booking the day before a big event. Skip makeup for about 12 hours.
Skin Boosters / Mesotherapy cost in Sri Lanka: what affects it

After your consultation, Dr. Nuwan will explain the plan and give you a clear quote before any treatment begins, so there are no surprises.

Skin Boosters / Mesotherapy: frequently asked questions
When will I see a glow after skin boosters?
Some people notice hydration within a week, but the best result usually appears two to four weeks after the second session as the skin responds.
Are skin boosters the same as 'glutathione injections'?
No. Skin boosters are mainly hyaluronic acid placed in the skin. We do not offer them as a skin-lightening treatment.
Can I have boosters on my neck and hands?
Yes. The neck, décolletage and back of the hands often respond well because the skin there is thin and dries out easily.
How are skin boosters different from PRP?
PRP uses growth factors from your own blood, while boosters use a prepared hydrating product. Some plans combine the two for skin quality.
Can skin boosters be done with Botox on the same day?
Often yes, as long as the areas and timing are planned. Your doctor will decide what order works best.
Is mesotherapy useful for pigmentation?
Some mesotherapy cocktails are used as part of pigmentation plans, but results vary. We usually combine it with sun protection and other proven options.
