Biorevitalisation

5 reasons to consider Biorevitalization:

1. Tighten the skin
2. Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
3. Diminish age spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma
4. Prevention of dermal aging
5. Improve skin complexion

Indications for Biorevitalization

Increased dryness of the skin caused by stress, sun exposure, smoking or dehydration
Skin aging
Prevention of premature skin aging
Wrinkle correction
Sagging skin on the face, neck and decollete
Preparation for medium and laser peels and plastic surgery
Dull face complexion
Rehabilitation after peels and plastic surgery

What to expect?

Biorevitalization treatments are quick and easy. The average treatment takes about 15 minutes. I will offer ice or numbing cream if you’re concerned about pain at the injection site. After cleaning and marking the treatment area, I’ll use a micro needle, injection gun, or cannula, to inject the treatment into the desired areas.

To maintain the results, you’ll need 3 to 6 treatments a year, about 3 months apart. The hyaluronic acid in the boosters breaks down completely over a period of months, so continuous treatments are required.

Because these treatments stimulate collagen production, you may need less-frequent treatments over time. Younger patients will need fewer treatments in a year.

What are side effects of Biorevitalization?

You will likely experience some redness and minor swelling immediately after your treatment, and you should not use makeup on the treatment areas for at least 12 hours.

Side effects should go away within one to two days. We recommend allowing at least a week to fully recover.

What is Biorevitalization?

Hyaluronic acid is the main structural element of connective tissue and is related to many vital processes in human organism. Most importantly it is responsible for maintaining skin hydration and youthful texture.

Biorevitalization treatments contain pure hyaluronic acid mixed with vitamins and enzymes without any additives. Biorevitalization products tend to be more viscous than mesotherapy products, so they do a little bit of filling, in addition to renewing the skin.
Biorevitalization is most effective on patients who are 30+ or who have more advanced signs of aging vs Mesotherapy which is better suited to younger skin. If you start early enough, Mesotherapy is highly effective at preventing aging. We recommend having the face, neck, and hands treated at the same time.

You will see some results immediately after treatment—more immediately with Biorevitalization than Mesotherapy.

Most patients say their skin feels smoother and looks plumper. It can take up to 3 months to see the full effect of skin boosters, but you will gradually notice your moisturizer lasting longer throughout the day, an increased glow, and diminished pores and fine lines.

What to do before the treatment?

Avoid use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs like aspirin, motrin, advil, ibuprofen) for 7 days prior to treatment to minimize the potential for bruising, unless the medications involved are prescribed for the treatment of an existing medical condition. If you must use these medications, please let your provider know.
If you are on a blood thinner, please let the doctor know. You will be at an increased risk of bleeding and bruising during the procedure.
Stop all topical acids (like glycolic, alpha or beta hydroxyl acids), retinols, retin-A, or other like products 7 days prior to treatment.
Avoid tanning beds, self tanners or prolonged exposure to the sun 4 days prior to treatment. Always use a zinc oxide based sunscreen with SPF 30+.
If you are planning to receive Botox, make sure that you give yourself at least 2 weeks post-Botox injections before receiving this procedure.
Wait 6 months following oral isotretinoin (Accutane) use before having this treatment done.
What to do after the treatment?
Expected downtime: 3-5 days. The expected healing sequence and expected treatment side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, light discomfort, and possibly small bumps, scabs and pinpoint bleeding.
Do not go swimming/sauna/steam room for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
Mineral makeup may be applied after treatment
During the first two days following treatment, care should be taken to prevent irritation/trauma to the treated area: avoid hot baths & massage.
No exercising or strenuous activity for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Sweating and gym environments must be avoided during the first 72 hours post-treatment.
Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 48 hours. No tanning beds. Try to avoid excessive sun exposure on the treatment area and use a sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily for one month following the procedure.
Cleanse the treated area with mild cleansers or soaps without perfumes or acids, and avoid washcloths and harsh cleansers until all transient healing processes have resolved naturally or at least 7 days.
For at least 7 days post treatment, do NOT use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare. It is recommended that you use a topical growth factor daily starting at 24 hours post-treatment.
