Facial biorevitalization is the most popular cosmetic procedure related to invasive methods of rejuvenation. By injecting hyaluronic acid, you can prolong the youthfulness of your face, eliminate wrinkles and restore skin elasticity. This technique is considered one of the most effective and effective in cosmetology.
The essence of facial biorevitalization
Biorevitalization is a procedure for injecting hyaluronic acid under the skin. It is well known that hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the human epidermis, the amount of which decreases with time. The lack of this component leads to undesirable consequences in the form of:
- Loss of skin elasticity;
- Dryness and peeling;
- Lack of moisture;
- Sagging skin;
- Wrinkles.
Biorevitalization is aimed directly at restoring the balance of hyaluronic acid in the epidermis.
Replenishment of hyaluronic acid in the skin from the very first procedure helps to cope with the problems of pigmentation, lack of moisture. It is injections, that is, the introduction of acid molecules under the skin, that are most effective, as they stimulate the smoothing of wrinkles and slow down the aging process of the skin.
Types of biorevitalization
It is generally accepted that biorevitalization is an exclusively invasive procedure. However, technology does not stand still, continuing to develop, and new methods of cosmetic procedures appear. So the biorevitalization session can be carried out in two ways:
- By injection;
- Special apparatus.
The most popular is injection biorevitalization, during which hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin with a syringe. These injections violate the integrity of the skin and leave small swelling - papules, passing a few days after the session.
Non-injection biorevitalization is carried out by a hardware method. To perform the procedure, a laser is used that introduces hyaluronic acid using low-intensity laser radiation.
The only drawback of non-injection biorevitalization is the shorter duration of the effect.
Laser biorevitalization has several advantages compared to injections:
- Comfort
- Painlessness;
- No side effects
- Minimum contraindications;
- Preservation of the integrity of the epidermis.
This method of biorevitalization is the most gentle, it is even referred to as spa procedures. However, using a laser it is difficult to provide a sufficient amount of hyaluronic acid in the deeper layers of the skin, which is why the effect lasts less than after injection.
Used drugs
For biorevitalization, hyaluronic acid injections are standardly used.Some cosmetologists use not only classical preparations, preferring various manufacturers who add useful substances to hyaluronic acid that increase the effectiveness of the procedure.
The most common drugs used in biorevitalization:
- IAL-system ACP - Italian skin rejuvenation and treatment product suitable for all skin types;
- Jalupro and Jalupro HMW - an increased concentration of hyaluronic acid containing amino acids: glycine, L-proline, L-lysine and L-leucine;
- Juvederm hydrate - an American-made preparation containing, in addition to hyaluronic acid, mannitol, which protects the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals and protects the acid from rapid breakdown;
- Revofil Aquashine - a complex of peptides and hyaluronic acid with a classic anti-aging effect, which eliminates age-related pigmentation and whitens the skin;
- Hyaluform - Russian-made hyaluronic acid stabilized by the three-phase method, which has a lifting effect and helps in modeling face shapes.
The effectiveness of each of these drugs has been proven and tested by many cosmetologists. It is necessary to choose a solution according to the needs of each client and in accordance with the type of skin.
Indications for use
Not everyone is prescribed and advised on the biorevitalization procedure. Women under thirty years of age are not recommended injections without urgent need. The exception is a very dry skin type, in which the procedure can be carried out at the age of twenty-five to twenty-eight years.
Indications for biorevitalization:
- Skin dehydration and excessive dryness;
- Loss of elasticity of the epidermis;
- Fine and expression lines;

Among other things, the procedure helps to get rid of rosacea and accelerates skin regeneration. Despite the effectiveness and multifunctionality of biorevitalization, the result is not instantaneous, but cumulative.
How is the biorevitalization procedure going?
Before deciding on biorevitalization, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with all aspects, including the process of implementing the procedure. Depending on the method chosen, the session itself is also different.
The injection biorevitalization procedure is as follows:
- Anesthetic cream is applied to the skin for half an hour or an hour;
- Twenty minutes before the injection, the drug is taken out of the refrigerator so that it warms up to room temperature;
- With a thin needle under the skin, hyaluronic acid is introduced uniformly over the area of the treated area of the face;
- The skin is cooled by applying an anti-inflammatory antibacterial cream.
After injections for another two to three days, redness, swelling, signs of injection and papules are observed. The procedures are carried out in a course of up to four sessions with an interval of two weeks or a month, depending on the condition of the skin.
Laser biorevitalization is carried out according to another system:
- The face is cleansed of makeup and the surface of the epidermis is disinfected;
- A laser pulse is applied to the skin to open the transport channels between the cells;
- A thin layer of gel is applied with a low content of hyaluronic acid;
- The laser is switched to constant radiation mode, changing the wavelength and affect the skin of the face;
- In conclusion, apply a caring cream, lotion or serum.
The non-injection version of the procedure lasts about an hour and requires more frequent repetition. So the course of laser biorevitalization consists of three to ten sessions with an interval of one week.
Recovery and skin care
The effect of the biorevitalization course lasts up to six months and requires a repetition of the procedure to maintain the result. During this time, you must adhere to the instructions of the cosmetologist for skin care.

Beauticians strongly recommend abandoning bad habits to maintain healthy skin.
The duration of the effect depends on age, state of health, following the rules for skin care and external factors, such as the environment.
