Facial biorevitalisation

The treatment starts with an examination and the selection of the preparation, after which the skin is cleansed and an anaesthetic cream is applied. The entire procedure, step by step, is described in the section “What the treatment looks like, step by step”. The treatment takes about 45 minutes.

Biorevitalisation is one of the treatments regularly used to maintain the quality, health and beauty of the skin, and to prevent and slow down skin ageing. As skin ages differently in each of us, age is not the parameter by which we recommend treatments, but we do recommend the biorevitalisation treatment when:

• you have dry, dehydrated and thin skin
• there is photodamage to the skin
• the first signs of ageing appear, such as skin laxity, loss of firmness and the first wrinkles

Following the treatment, the skin is slightly red, and tiny bumps can be seen at the injection sites. This is expected and subsides within a few hours.

Do not apply make-up for the first 12 hours. You can return to your daily routine immediately, but postpone saunas and intensive workouts for three days. Detailed instructions are in the “Preparation and aftercare” section.

The number of required treatments depends on the type of preparation used, i.e. whether non-cross-linked or cross-linked hyaluronic acid is applied. With products containing non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which are used primarily for intensive skin hydration and biorevitalisation, a series of three treatments spaced about a month apart is recommended, as the active ingredients break down faster in the skin.

With products containing cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which are more stable and remain active in the tissue longer, the number of treatments can be smaller, and the intervals between applications longer. These preparations enable a more gradual, yet longer-lasting improvement in skin quality.

The final protocol is always determined individually, based on the skin condition, the area being treated and the goal of the therapy, following an examination and consultation with a doctor.

Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid is used for intensive skin hydration and biorevitalisation, breaks down quickly and does not provide volume. Cross-linked hyaluronic acid is stabilised so that it remains in the skin longer and, depending on the formula, can improve skin quality and elasticity, without necessarily having a volumising effect.

Although mesotherapy and biorevitalisation are performed using a similar technique, there is a fundamental difference between these two treatments in the composition of the products and the duration of the effect. Mesotherapy products most frequently contain low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals and other active substances that work quickly, but also break down relatively quickly in the skin. Because of this, multiple repeated treatments are needed to maintain the results.

Biorevitalisation products contain concentrated high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, often also stabilised (cross-linked), which remains in the skin significantly longer. In this way, longer-lasting hydration, improved skin elasticity and quality are achieved, with fewer treatments. With stabilised preparations, a change is often noticed after just the first treatment.

Biorevitalisation is a treatment designed to improve skin quality and slow down the signs of ageing. Although it is most commonly applied to the face, it is also frequently used on the neck and décolletage. The skin in these areas is thinner, more sensitive and more prone to premature ageing, which is why many more invasive treatments are not recommended.

Biorevitalisation can be safely applied precisely to these sensitive areas. By injecting active substances into the skin, tissue regeneration is stimulated, hydration and elasticity are improved, and the skin gradually regains its plumpness. The skin becomes more hydrated and smoother, and fine lines less noticeable.

The most common are redness, swelling, tenderness and tiny bumps at the injection sites, which subside within a few hours to a few days. Bruising is also possible, disappearing within a few days to a week.

Lumps rarely appear at the injection sites, and infection or allergic reaction is very rare. If you notice severe or increasing pain, skin discolouration or pus formation, contact a doctor immediately.

We recommend planning your injectable treatment at least two weeks before an important event. If a series of treatments is required, the plan should start earlier to allow enough time for the full effect to develop.

Biorevitalisation is safe when a doctor properly indicates and performs it, but there are conditions in which these procedures are not recommended or are postponed. Absolute contraindications include active infections or inflammatory processes on the skin in the area being treated, as well as systemic infections. Treatments are not performed on patients with autoimmune diseases in an active phase, malignant conditions, nor on individuals with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the components of the preparation.

Relative contraindications are pregnancy and the breastfeeding period, when aesthetic injection treatments are not performed as a precaution. Caution is required in patients using anticoagulant therapy or having coagulation disorders, due to the increased risk of bruising and bleeding. Also, the treatment is postponed in cases of active herpes infections, severe acne, dermatitis or recent skin damage.

Before every procedure, an examination and consultation with a doctor are necessary in order to assess the patient's general state of health, skin condition and any potential risks, and to choose the approach that suits your skin.
