Skinbooster (Mesotherapy) Aftercare: What to Expect, How to Care, and Side Effects

July 17, 2025

If you’re dreaming of dewy, hydrated, and naturally glowing skin, Skinboosters—also known as injectable mesotherapy—may be your new favorite treatment. Whether you’re battling dullness, dehydration, or early signs of aging, Skinboosters offer a powerful way to improve skin texture and restore that youthful, radiant glow from the inside out.

At SKINLAB, we love Skinboosters for their subtle yet transformative results. Here’s everything you need to know before booking your appointment.

💧 What Are Skinboosters?

Skinboosters are formulations that are injected into the dermis to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, they don’t add volume or structure—instead, they improve overall skin quality, tone, and elasticity.

The technique, often called mesotherapy, uses microinjections to deliver hyaluronic acid (and sometimes vitamins or amino acids) directly where your skin needs it most.

🌟 What Do Skinboosters Treat?

Skinboosters are ideal for addressing:

  • Dull, dehydrated, or tired-looking skin
  • Fine lines and crepey texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Loss of elasticity
  • Acne scars or uneven skin tone
  • Dry patches that don’t respond to skincare

They’re commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, but can be applied nearly anywhere skin needs a hydration boost.

🕒 How Many Sessions Do You Need?

For optimal results, we typically recommend:

  • Initial series: 3 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart
  • Maintenance: 1 treatment every 1–3 months

Improvements are usually noticeable after the first session, with full effects developing gradually over several weeks as hydration and collagen increase.

💉 What to Expect During the Treatment

  • The treatment takes about 30–45 minutes.
  • We apply a topical numbing cream for comfort.
  • Tiny microinjections are delivered just below the surface of the skin.
  • You may have some pinpoint redness or swelling right after—this typically resolves in 1–3 days.

It’s a quick, low-downtime treatment that you can fit into your lunch break.

🧴 Aftercare and Recovery

Skinboosters have minimal downtime, but here are a few tips to get the best results:

✅ DO:

  • Keep skin clean and avoid touching the treated area
  • Use a gentle, hydrating skincare routine
  • Stay hydrated (drink lots of water!)
  • Wear SPF daily

❌ AVOID for 24–48 hours:

  • Makeup or skincare with active ingredients (like acids or retinol)
  • Saunas, intense workouts, or swimming
  • Alcohol or blood thinners
  • Facial treatments or massages for at least one week

Most redness or swelling resolves quickly, and makeup can usually be worn the next day.

🩺 Common Side Effects

  • Mild swelling or redness
  • Tiny injection site marks or bruising
  • Tenderness for 1–2 days
  • Small lumps or firmness at injection sites (resolves within 1-3 days)

These are all normal and short-lived.

⚠️ Rare Side Effects

Rare but possible reactions include:

  • Prolonged bruising or swelling
  • Allergic reaction (extremely rare with hyaluronic acid)
