Mesotherapy: What to Know Before You Book
A tailored blend of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants delivered through a series of tiny injections just beneath the skin's surface, to improve hydration, glow and overall skin quality.
Who it’s for
People with dull, dehydrated or tired-looking skin who want a gradual, natural improvement, including as part of some hair and scalp plans. When you are ready, see mesotherapy in the Maldives at our Hulhumalé clinic.
What to expect at your visit
A series of very superficial injections across the treatment area, sometimes with numbing cream first, taking around twenty to thirty minutes.
What results look like over time
A course of several sessions a few weeks apart is usual, followed by occasional maintenance, with improvements judged gradually over the full course.
Downtime & aftercare
Mild redness, small bumps or minor bruising can occur and typically settle within a day or two; no special routine is needed beyond gentle skincare.
How to prepare for your visit
No special preparation is required; the exact blend is chosen for your skin and goals at consultation.
Often paired with
Pairs naturally with microneedling, which helps the ingredients spread further into the skin.
Who might want to wait
Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active infection, or with a relevant allergy – if your main concern is volume loss, a filler or bio-remodelling treatment may suit you better.
“How is mesotherapy different from skin boosters?”
Skin boosters are usually a defined hyaluronic acid product injected at set points; mesotherapy is a broader, customisable blend delivered across the area – they overlap and are sometimes combined.
Guide FAQ
Does mesotherapy hurt?

Can it be used on the scalp?
Yes, mesotherapy can be used on the face, neck or scalp as part of some hair and skin plans.
Is the evidence for mesotherapy strong?
It is still developing – results vary between people and products, so we set realistic expectations and will say if another treatment suits you better.
