Skin Boosterin Bali
Hyaluronic acid micro-injections that rehydrate the skin from inside, rather than sitting on top of it. For skin that looks tired, tight and dull no matter what you put on it.

- Injected by a doctorDr. Connie Calista Tham assesses and treats. Nothing is delegated to a therapist.
- Priced per sessionFrom IDR 1,950,000, by product. The course length and total are agreed before we start.
- Face and beyondUnder-eye, neck, décolleté and hands — the areas that give age away first.
What it is
Water, placed where cream can’t reach
Skin boosters are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid delivered into the dermis — the living layer of skin, several millimetres below where any serum stops. Each molecule holds many times its own weight in water, so the skin rehydrates from within and keeps doing it for months.
That’s the difference between a booster and a good moisturiser. A moisturiser slows water leaving the surface. A booster puts water back into the layer that produces the surface, and stimulates a modest amount of collagen while it’s there.
The visible result is a change in light. Hydrated skin reflects evenly, so tone looks brighter, fine crepey lines flatten, and makeup stops sinking into texture. It is the treatment behind most of what people call glass skin.
A skin booster is not a filler. It contains hyaluronic acid, but it isn’t cross-linked to hold shape, so it will not restore a flat cheek or sharpen a jaw. If that’s the concern, dermal filler is the correct tool and we’ll tell you.
What it treats
Skin quality, area by area
Boosters are booked for a specific set of concerns and a specific set of areas — several of which have nothing to do with the face. Filter by what you want to change.
Filter by what you want to change — or describe it in consultation and we’ll tell you whether a booster is the right answer, or whether something else is.
Dehydrated, tight skin
Skin that feels tight by mid-afternoon and drinks anything you put on it without ever looking satisfied. The most common reason patients book a booster, and the concern it answers most directly.
Full face
Dull, flat tone
Not pigmentation — just skin that has stopped catching light. Hydrated dermis reflects evenly, which is most of what people mean by glow and all of what they mean by glass skin.
Full face
Rough, uneven texture
Makeup sitting in ridges, foundation separating by lunchtime, a surface that photographs badly in side light. Boosters smooth from underneath rather than exfoliating from above.
Full face
Crepey lines at rest
The shallow lines that are visible even when your face is still — around the eyes, across the upper lip, on the cheeks. These are dehydration and thinning, not movement, which is why toxin doesn’t fix them.
Assessed in clinic
Early ageing, in your late twenties
The most sensible injectable to start with. Improving hydration and skin quality before volume loss begins delays the point at which anything structural is needed at all.
Course, then maintenance
Tired, crepey under-eyes
Thin skin that creases and looks shadowed. Boosters improve the quality of the skin itself. If the issue is a hollow underneath it, that’s a different treatment and we’ll say so at consultation.
Delicate area · fine technique
Neck lines and laxity
The neck gives age away long before the face does, and here it takes the same UV with a fraction of the sunscreen. Boosters firm the skin surface and soften horizontal lines.
Standalone or with face
Chest tone and sun texture
Years of open necklines in a tropical climate leave crepey texture and vertical lines across the chest. One of the most rewarding areas to treat, and one of the most neglected.
Standalone or with neck
Thin, dry hands
Hands age faster than any other visible area and are almost never treated. Boosters improve hydration, texture and how the skin sits over the tendons.
Both hands per session
Sun, salt and pool damage
Skin that has been in the water and the sun daily for months behaves differently: barrier compromised, dehydrated underneath, oily on top. Boosters rebuild the water layer while we repair the barrier above it.
Often combined
Boosters are a course, not a single appointment
Most patients need two or three sessions two to four weeks apart to build the result, then maintenance every four to six months. That plan is written at consultation with the total in it — you’ll know the number of sessions and the cost before the first one, not after it.
Ask on WhatsAppAreas are frequently combined — face with neck, or neck with décolleté — and combining them in one appointment is usually better value than separate visits. Suitability, product and course length are confirmed by the doctor after examining your skin.
Pricing
Skin booster prices in Bali
Skin boosters at Aeconic start from IDR 1,950,000 per session. Where you land above that depends on which product suits your skin and how many areas are treated — not on a package we’ve decided to sell.
One area, one session, priced by product. The usual starting point, and enough to see whether your skin responds before committing to a course.
Most skin needs two to three sessions two to four weeks apart to build the result. We quote the whole course in writing up front so there’s no drip-feed.
Neck, décolleté and hands are quoted alongside the face. Treating them in the same appointment costs less than booking them separately.
Prices are in Indonesian Rupiah and confirmed before treatment starts. Nothing is added mid-treatment, and you are never asked to commit to a package on a first visit. Product options and their prices are shown to you in clinic. For an indicative figure before you travel, message us on WhatsApp with a photo and a description of your skin.
Who injects
The hard part is knowing when not to
Every skin booster treatment at Aeconic is assessed and injected by our clinic doctor, Dr. Connie Calista Tham. Nothing is delegated to a therapist, and nothing is injected before an examination.
Boosters are forgiving to inject and easy to sell, which is exactly why they’re so often the wrong answer. Skin that looks tired can be dehydrated, or it can be losing volume, or it can have a damaged barrier from over-exfoliating — three problems that look similar in the mirror and need three different treatments. A booster only fixes the first.
Depth matters too. Placed too superficially, hyaluronic acid leaves visible bumps that take days to settle; placed correctly it’s invisible by the following morning. Under the eye, that margin is very small.
We use registered product with single-use sterile technique, and we’re happy to show you the box and batch before injection. If a booster isn’t the right answer, Dr. Connie will say so and explain what is — sometimes Rejuran, sometimes filler, and sometimes barrier repair and time.

Duration & results
What happens, and when
The appointment
Cleanse, topical numbing, then micro-injections across the mapped area with an ultra-fine needle. You’ll leave with small raised points and possibly mild redness.
Bumps settle
The tiny raised points flatten within a few hours to a day as the hyaluronic acid draws in water. Makeup from 24 hours.
Visible result
Skin starts holding water properly. Tone brightens, fine crepey lines soften and the surface reflects light more evenly.
The course
Sessions two to four weeks apart build the result rather than repeat it. The finished effect holds 4 to 6 months, then maintenance.
Timings are typical. Very dehydrated or sun-damaged skin usually needs the full course before the change is obvious; well-maintained skin often sees it after the first session.
Before & aftercare
Protecting the result in a tropical climate
Standard booster aftercare assumes an air-conditioned life. Here the first 48 hours involve heat, sweat, salt water and pool chlorine arriving at dozens of fresh injection points — so ours is written for Bali.
Before your treatment
- Skip alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours — both increase the chance of pinpoint bruising.
- Pause blood thinners, fish oil and anti-inflammatories where your prescribing doctor allows it. Never stop prescribed medication without asking them first.
- Stop retinol, acids and scrubs for 3 days beforehand so the barrier is calm on the day.
- Arrive well hydrated, rested and having eaten, with clean skin and no makeup if possible.
- Tell us if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, on antibiotics, prone to cold sores, or have had filler in the same area recently.
After your treatment
- Don’t touch, rub or massage the area for 4 hours, and sleep on your back the first night.
- No makeup for 24 hours — the injection points are still closing.
- No sauna, steam, hot yoga or heavy exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
- No sea, pool or surf for 48 hours. Salt water and chlorine on fresh injection points is the fastest route to irritation here.
- Small bumps and mild swelling are normal and settle within a day. Don’t press or massage them.
- High-SPF sunscreen and a hat from day one, and keep drinking water — the product works by holding it.
- No facials, peels, RF or laser for 1 to 2 weeks.
Occasional pinpoint bruising can occur, particularly under the eye and on the hands. If anything concerns you afterwards, message the clinic directly on WhatsApp rather than waiting for your next session.
Results
Before and after, unretouched
Photographed in the same light, at the same angle, with patient consent. Booster results are documented across the course, not on the day of the first session.
Want to see a case like yours?
We keep a fuller archive in clinic, including under-eye, neck and hand cases across full courses. Ask to see results matched to your skin type and concern during consultation.
Ask on WhatsAppIndividual results vary. Photographs are of real patients treated at Aeconic and are published with consent. Some results reflect a combined plan rather than skin boosters alone. No treatment outcome is guaranteed; suitability is confirmed at consultation.
Booster or something else
Three treatments people confuse with it
Boosters add water and improve skin quality. If your concern is lost volume, repair of thin damaged skin, or oil and open pores, another injectable does it better — and no number of sessions will change that.
Rejuran
Polynucleotides rather than hyaluronic acid. Where a booster hydrates, Rejuran repairs — it’s the choice for thin, damaged or reactive skin and for the under-eye area specifically. Course-based, and often run alongside boosters rather than instead of them.
Rejuran in Bali →Meso Botox
Diluted toxin in the superficial skin. It reduces oil, sweat and pore size — the opposite problem to dehydration. Oily, open-pored skin needs the toxin; dry, tight skin needs the booster. Combination skin often needs both.
Meso Botox →Dermal fillers
Cross-linked hyaluronic acid that holds its shape and rebuilds contour. Boosters and fillers share an ingredient and nothing else: one changes skin quality, the other changes structure. Deep volume loss needs filler.
Dermal filler treatments →| Treatment | What’s injected | Best for | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skin booster | Hyaluronic acid, uncross-linked | Dehydration, dullness, fine crepey lines | 4 – 6 months |
| Rejuran | Polynucleotides | Repair, under-eye, thin or reactive skin | Course-based |
| Meso Botox | Diluted botulinum toxin | Pores, oil, sweat, surface texture | 2 – 3 months |
| Dermal filler | Cross-linked hyaluronic acid | Lost volume and contour | 9 – 18 months |
| Collagen biostimulator | Calcium hydroxylapatite | Long-term firmness and structure | 12 months + |
Duration figures are typical ranges for guidance, not guarantees. Your plan is set at consultation. See also collagen biostimulators and Botox.
Visiting Bali
Timing a course around your trip
A large share of our booster patients are travellers and expats on the west coast. Boosters are a course, so a two-week trip and a six-month stay call for different plans.
Short trip? One session is worth doing and will still improve hydration — but tell us it’s a single visit so we choose accordingly and set the expectation honestly, rather than starting a course you can’t finish.
Two days out of the water. This is the restriction that catches people. No sea, no pool, no surf for 48 hours. Book around your surf days, not into them.
Events and photography. Small bumps settle within a day, but leave a clear week before a wedding or a shoot so the skin is fully settled rather than merely calm.
Living in Canggu? Boosters are the treatment that benefits most from living here — constant sun, salt and air conditioning dehydrate skin faster than anywhere temperate. Most residents run a course, then maintenance every four to six months.

Questions
Before you book a skin booster
Anything not covered here, message us — we answer WhatsApp during clinic hours, Monday to Saturday.
How much does a skin booster cost in Bali?
At Aeconic Clinic in Canggu, skin boosters start from IDR 1,950,000 per session. The final figure depends on which product suits your skin and how many areas are treated — face, under-eye, neck, décolleté and hands are quoted individually, and treating several in one appointment costs less than booking them separately.
Because boosters work as a course, we quote the whole plan in writing at consultation rather than session by session, so you know the total before the first appointment. Nothing is added mid-treatment. For an indicative figure before you travel, send a photo and a description of your skin on WhatsApp.
What is a skin booster, and how is it different from filler?
A skin booster is a micro-injection of hyaluronic acid into the dermis to rehydrate skin from within and improve its quality. Filler is also hyaluronic acid, but cross-linked so it holds its shape and can rebuild volume and contour.
The practical difference: a booster changes how your skin looks and feels; a filler changes the shape of your face. A booster will not lift a jawline or restore a flat cheek, and no number of sessions will make it do so. If that’s your concern, we’ll recommend dermal filler instead and say why.
How many sessions do I need?
Typically two to three sessions, two to four weeks apart. Boosters build rather than repeat — each session adds to the last, which is why very dehydrated or sun-damaged skin often looks only mildly different after one and clearly different after three.
After the course, maintenance is usually one session every four to six months. If you’re only in Bali for a short trip, tell us at booking: a single session is still worthwhile, but we’d rather set the expectation honestly than start something you can’t finish.
How long does a skin booster last?
Around 4 to 6 months after a completed course. You’ll see the first change at day three to seven, with the full effect building across the sessions.
Duration depends on your skin, your age and your environment. Daily sun, sea swimming, air conditioning and a dehydrating routine all shorten it — which is precisely why skin here tends to need boosters more often than skin in a temperate climate.
Is there downtime, and does it hurt?
Topical numbing is applied first and most patients describe a series of light pinpricks. The appointment takes 15 to 20 minutes. Expect small raised bumps at each injection point and possibly mild redness or swelling — these settle within a few hours to a day as the hyaluronic acid draws in water.
Occasional pinpoint bruising can occur, particularly under the eye and on the hands. Most people are presentable the next morning. No makeup for 24 hours, no touching or massaging the area, and no sea, pool, sauna or heavy exercise for 48 hours.
Skin booster, Rejuran or Meso Botox — which do I need?
Start from the concern. Dry, tight, dull skin needs a booster. Thin, damaged, reactive skin — especially under the eye — usually does better with Rejuran, which repairs rather than hydrates. Oily skin with open pores needs Meso Botox, which reduces sebum instead of adding water.
They aren’t mutually exclusive, and combination skin frequently runs two of the three in a sequenced plan. Which sequence, and in what order, is decided at consultation after your skin is examined — not from a photograph.
Can I have a skin booster while on holiday in Bali?
Yes, and it’s one of the more travel-friendly injectables — but book it early in your trip. The result shows from day three to seven, and the small bumps need a day to settle, so a session the morning before a wedding is cutting it fine.
The restriction that matters here is water: no sea, pool or surf for 48 hours, and no sauna or heavy exercise in the same window. High-SPF sunscreen and a hat from day one. If you’re also planning facials, peels or laser, leave one to two weeks between those and your booster.
Where is Aeconic Clinic located and what are your opening hours?
Aeconic Clinic is at Jl. Subak Sari No. 30a, Tibubeneng, Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali 80361 — in the Canggu–Berawa area, a few minutes from Batu Bolong and Berawa Beach. We’re open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 17:00, and closed on Sundays.
Appointments are booked through WhatsApp on +62 811 2503 3440, which is also the fastest way to check same-day availability. There’s on-site parking for cars and scooters, and we accept all payment types — though cashless is faster at checkout.
Guide
Choosing where to get a skin booster in Bali
Skin boosters are advertised across Canggu and Seminyak under a dozen product names, at prices that vary by a factor of three. The gap is product, protocol and who holds the needle.
Ask what’s actually being injected
“Skin booster” is a category, not a product. Ask which brand, what concentration, and whether it’s registered in Indonesia. A price that looks unusually low is usually a different product than the one you think you’re getting.
Ask who injects
In Indonesia, injectables are a medical act. Ask directly whether a doctor performs the injection or whether a therapist does it under nominal supervision. At Aeconic, Dr. Connie Calista Tham assesses and injects — there is no version of the visit where that changes.
Ask to see the box
Cheap injectables exist because unregistered product exists. Ask to see the packaging, the brand and the batch number before treatment. A clinic that hesitates has already answered the question.
Ask what the full course costs
A booster quoted as a single session is a quote for a third of the treatment. Ask how many sessions the doctor expects, at what spacing, and what the whole course costs — before the first appointment, not after it. A clinic that only prices the next session isn’t planning your skin.
Ask whether it’s the right treatment at all
Tired-looking skin can be dehydration, volume loss, barrier damage or pigmentation. Only the first is a booster problem. A clinic that recommends boosters for all four is optimising for revenue rather than results — and a clinic that tells you “not this, not yet” is doing its job.
Check the aftercare is written for here
Generic aftercare assumes an air-conditioned life. In Canggu, the 48 hours after treatment involve heat, sweat, salt water and pool chlorine hitting fresh injection points. If the sheet you’re handed doesn’t mention the ocean, it wasn’t written for this island.
