Skin Boosters vs Mesotherapy: What's the Difference?

Skin boosters and mesotherapy both improve skin quality through injection, so the distinction can seem subtle. There are meaningful differences in what they contain and how long they act.

As always, the right option is decided at assessment.

What each is

Skin boosters are usually based on hyaluronic acid and are designed to improve hydration and skin quality, often with a longer-lasting effect. Mesotherapy delivers a tailored blend of hydrating and conditioning ingredients into the upper skin, typically as a course to refresh skin quality.

Depth and duration

Skin boosters such as Profhilo work within the skin to support hydration and quality over a period of months. Mesotherapy tends to work more superficially and is often used as a series to maintain radiance. Which is more appropriate depends on your skin and goals.

Which to choose

If longer-lasting improvement in skin quality is the priority, a skin booster may suit better. If the aim is a hydrating, radiance-focused refresh, mesotherapy may be more appropriate. Many plans use one or the other according to assessment, and sometimes both over time.

A personalised plan

Both sit within the Skin Regeneration Programme. The consultation identifies which fits your skin, your goals and your budget.
