The Most Popular Aesthetic Treatments in Bali – And How to Choose What’s Right for You

Bali is known for its beauty—and that now extends beyond the beaches. In recent years, the island has become a go-to destination for high-quality aesthetic treatments, attracting not just visitors, but a growing expat community looking for personalised, science-backed care.

At Skin Studio, we see every day how confidence grows when women take ownership of their skin—whether that means embracing change, investing in prevention, or just taking a moment to feel good in their own skin. There’s no one-size-fits-all here.

If you’ve been curious about treatments but unsure where to start, this guide is for you. Here are some of the most popular non-surgical skin treatments in Bali—and how to decide what feels right for you.

1. Wrinkle Reducers (e.g. Botox)

Still one of the most requested treatments globally, wrinkle reducers soften movement in targeted areas, helping to reduce and prevent lines caused by repetitive facial expressions—think frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases.

  • Common concerns it addresses: Early signs of ageing, tired-looking eyes, ‘angry’ resting face
  • How long it lasts: Around 3–4 months
  • What to expect: Soft, natural-looking results when done with precision—no frozen foreheads here
  • Is it for you? If you’re noticing expression lines that stick around, or want to stay ahead of deeper wrinkles, this might be the right fit

2. Dermal Fillers

Fillers are used to restore volume in areas where the skin starts to lose its structure—most commonly the cheeks, lips, and jawline. They can also soften deep lines, like smile folds, for a fresher, well-rested appearance.

  • Common concerns it addresses: Volume loss, sagging, hollow under-eyes, thinning lips
  • How long it lasts: Around 12–18 months
  • What to expect: Immediate results, tailored to your features—not designed to make you look like someone else
  • Is it for you? If you’ve started noticing your face feels a bit less ‘lifted’ or defined, fillers can help restore balance

3. Skin Boosters (e.g. Profhilo, Nucleofill, Revok50)

Think of this as hydration, collagen support, and glow in injectable form. Skin boosters don’t add volume—they work within the skin to improve texture, tone, and elasticity. They’re a favourite for those wanting a natural-looking refresh.

  • Common concerns it addresses: Dullness, fine lines, crepey skin, dehydration
  • How long it lasts: Repeat every 3–6 months for best results
  • What to expect: Gradual improvement in skin quality, firmness, and radiance
  • Is it for you? Perfect if you’re not ready for filler, or want to focus on skin health over structure

4. Facials & DiamondGlow Microdermabrasion

Facials remain the foundation of good skin health. At Skin Studio, they’re tailored to your skin on the day, combining targeted ingredients with expert techniques. DiamondGlow adds next-level exfoliation and serum infusion for immediate glow and long-term skin renewal.

  • Common concerns it addresses: Congestion, dryness, uneven texture, dullness
  • How often: Every 4–6 weeks for consistent results
  • What to expect: Clearer, softer, brighter skin—and some much-needed self-care
  • Is it for you? Ideal for ongoing maintenance or anyone wanting to boost glow and hydration

5. Chemical Peels & Microneedling

These two treatments work by triggering the skin’s natural repair process. Peels help shed dead skin and target pigmentation, while microneedling stimulates collagen production to address texture, fine lines, and scarring.

  • Common concerns it addresses: Pigmentation, scarring, fine lines, uneven tone
  • How often: Every 4–6 weeks, depending on your skin goals
  • What to expect: A bit of downtime (redness or peeling), but big improvements in skin clarity and texture
  • Is it for you? Best if you’re dealing with stubborn pigmentation, acne scarring, or early signs of ageing

6. IV Infusions

From dehydration to burnout, Bali’s climate and fast-paced lifestyle can take a toll. Our IV treatments support recovery, skin clarity, immunity, and hydration—delivered straight into your system for fast results.

  • Common concerns it addresses: Fatigue, low immunity, dull skin, dehydration
  • How often: As needed, based on your lifestyle
  • What to expect: A quick reset, inside and out
  • Is it for you? If you’ve just flown in, feel run down, or want a skin boost from within

How to Choose What’s Right for You

There’s no right age or moment to begin. Some of our clients come in regularly for facials, others explore skin boosters like Profhilo or Nucleofill in their 30s, and some start wrinkle reducers in their 40s. The most important thing is that you’re choosing for you—not because of pressure, trends, or what anyone else is doing.

We don’t believe in overdoing it. We believe in subtle shifts, in keeping things natural, and in helping you feel more like yourself—not less.

Your Skin, Your Choice

Our approach is simple: listen first, guide second. We’re here to help you understand what each treatment does, how it might work for your skin, and whether it’s even the right fit. No pressure. No judgement. Just honest, expert advice—because confidence looks different for everyone.
