Biorevitalization

What is biorevitalisation and how does it work?

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin, where it binds water and keeps skin soft and supple. Its level falls with age and sun exposure, and skin looks drier and duller. In biorevitalisation, non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid is injected into the upper skin layers through many tiny micro-injections. Unlike a dermal filler, it does not form a volumising gel; it spreads through the skin and hydrates it from within. Many products add amino acids, peptides, vitamins or calcium hydroxylapatite to support the skin's own collagen production.

What happens during the treatment?

At the consultation the specialist assesses your skin, health and medication and chooses the product and technique. The skin is cleansed and disinfected, and numbing cream is applied if needed. Depending on the product and area, the treatment takes 20–60 minutes. A course is usually advised: 2–3 sessions 2–4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 3–6 months.

Who should not have it?

Biorevitalisation is usually not carried out in case of:

• pregnancy or breastfeeding;
• allergy to hyaluronic acid or any other ingredient;
• inflammation, infection, cold sores or damaged skin in the treatment area;
• fever or acute illness;
• certain autoimmune diseases or immunosuppressive treatment;
• blood clotting disorders, uncontrolled diabetes or another serious condition.

Blood thinners and other regular medicines must be mentioned to the specialist; they are not stopped without medical advice. The final decision is made by the specialist at the consultation.

After the treatment

Small bumps like mosquito bites often appear at the injection points. Together with mild redness and swelling, they usually settle within 1–3 days; occasionally a bruise appears. For the first day, make-up is not advised and the area should not be touched or massaged. Sauna, sunbeds, exercise and hot baths are best avoided for 24–48 hours, and exfoliating or acid products for a few days. Direct sun is avoided for at least 48 hours, with SPF 30–50 protection.

Frequently asked questions

Biorevitalisation vs mesotherapy: what is the difference?

Both use micro-injections. Mesotherapy cocktails contain more vitamins, amino acids and minerals and usually less hyaluronic acid; biorevitalisation focuses on hydration with hyaluronic acid. They can be combined.

Is it the same as dermal fillers?

No. In a filler, hyaluronic acid is cross-linked into a gel that adds volume and reshapes contours. Here it is not cross-linked: it hydrates the skin without enlarging the lips or changing facial features.

Does it hurt?

Most patients describe it as light pinching. The needles are very fine, and numbing cream can be used.

How long do the results last?

First changes usually show within a few days to a week. After a course, results typically last 3–6 months (on the lips about 2–4 months), depending on the product, skin type and lifestyle. Without maintenance, skin gradually returns to its previous condition.
