To the question of when the result is visible after biorevitalization, you can get an ambiguous answer from women who have undergone the procedure. Some enjoy amazing results within a few hours, for others it is noticeable after a week, while others generally bitterly state the fact that the money was wasted and no effect is noticeable. Let's try to figure out why this happens, when exactly to expect results, what to do if there is no effect, and what to do so that the patience and perseverance shown during the injections are duly rewarded.
We advise you to read: reviews of cosmetologists on biorevitalization preparations.
The essence of the impact
The technique is based on the intradermal administration of drugs based on hyaluronic acid (hyaluronate, hyoluronan). This substance is a real elixir of youth and beauty. It is synthesized by the human body and is found mainly in cartilage, vitreous body and skin. Hyaluronic acid regulates the level of moisture saturation of tissues (one molecule of this substance binds up to 1000 molecules of water), gives them elasticity, and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
As we age, the natural production of hyaluronate decreases. As a result, the level of tissue moisture decreases - the skin becomes dry, flabby, inelastic, and wrinkles and folds appear on it.
To prolong youth in such a situation, you need to compensate for the lack of hyaluronic acid. This substance is an essential component of all kinds of anti-age cosmetics: creams, serums, masks. However, hyaluronan molecules are too large to successfully penetrate the skin barrier. As a result, anti-aging cosmetics do an excellent job of moisturizing the epidermis, but the deeper layers of the skin continue to suffer from a lack of moisture.
And this is where injections come to the rescue. With their help, hyaluronic acid is delivered directly to the dermis, bypassing the epidermal barrier. And then the rejuvenation process starts - hyaluronate molecules attract water, bind it, stimulate skin renewal (Hyaluronic acid - review of the latest updates and preclinical and clinical studies, cosmetic effects).
The name of the procedure can be translated as “natural, biological revitalization.” Why natural? Because the procedure does not involve the use of any foreign drugs or artificial components. Rejuvenation occurs naturally with the help of a substance that is synthesized by the body itself - hyaluronic acid. The doctor’s task is only to compensate for the deficiency of this substance, delivering it to where it should be, i.e. into the deep layers of the skin.
Most often, the procedure is performed on the face, neck, décolleté and hands - open areas that age earlier than others due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation, contact with aggressive substances, and temperature changes. If desired, you can rejuvenate any area of the face and body.
What to do if the result is not noticeable?
Probably, many ladies know despair when they have spent a lot of money, had to experience unpleasant discomfort from injecting the drug, but the effect of biorevitalization does not appear even after a few weeks? There is no need to rush to conclusions and rush to a cosmetologist with complaints. You need to find out when biorevitalization begins to work immediately after the procedure. Panic only after all the deadlines assigned by the master have passed.
Much of the results depend on the characteristics of the skin - often the effect can be noticed only after several sessions. How many courses of filler injections will it take to see results? If a woman turns to a specialist after her entire face is covered with wrinkles, then it is likely that she will have to undergo at least a dozen sessions.
It is forbidden to inject fillers without breaks - at least half a month must pass between sessions. Sometimes a cosmetologist advises a slightly longer period of time - this allows you to verify the need for additional manipulations to administer drugs.
Even after achieving results, do not forget that the procedures should become regular. Ideally, you should undergo the introduction of hyaluronic acid-based formulations twice a year. This is enough for the epidermal cells to activate their work and independently cope with the main problems of the skin - dryness and exhaustion. Fillers will do the rest - smooth out wrinkles and restore youth.

Preparations for biorevitalization
For “beauty injections” special preparations are used – biorevitalizants. All of them contain unstabilized hyaluronic acid, which is used to moisturize and rejuvenate the skin (the stabilized variety is used for contouring). Such products differ in manufacturer, concentration of active substance, syringe volume and expiration date.
It would seem, why such diversity, is it better to immediately choose the maximum concentration so that it lasts for a long time? But introducing large amounts of hyaluronate into the skin is not always indicated. Everything is good in moderation. If thin skin is oversaturated with moisture, it will swell, the tissue will stretch and sag. This is not at all the effect you should strive for, is it? Therefore, for areas with thin and sensitive skin, products with a small (less than 2%) concentration of hyaluronic acid are used. Quantities are also limited. For facial treatment, 1 ml is usually sufficient. If you also need to rejuvenate your hands, neck and décolleté, or some parts of the body, then the amount of the drug increases proportionally.
The most popular and well-proven drugs:
- Teosyal Meso (Switzerland). The content of hyaluronic acid is 15 mg/g (1.5%), it also contains peptides and amino acids.
This drug is well suited for thin, sensitive, dry skin. A good choice for recovery after aggressive interventions or sunburn; - REVI (Russia). This is a line of biorevitalizants with different percentages of hyaluronate (for example, REVI Strong - 1.5%, REVI Silk - 1.2%, REVI and REVI Style - 1%).
The preparations are distinguished by a prolonged period of action (up to 15 months), due to the amino acids built into the hyaluronate molecules;
- Filorga (France). A complex of vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, moisturizing components with maximum photoprotective effect. Depending on the type, the hyaluronic acid content can be 10 or 18 mg/g (1% and 1.8%, respectively).
The first option is suitable for younger skin, the second - for more mature skin; - Juvederm Hydrate (USA). Hyaluronate (13.5%) is used in combination with the antioxidant mannitol (9%), resulting in a prolonged effect - up to 12 months. An excellent choice for patients under 35 years of age;
- Juvederm Volite (USA). This is a long-acting drug containing 1.2% hyaluronic acid and is suitable for busy people - just one injection is enough to get the effect. The drug is used both as a filler and for biorevitalization (depending on the method of administration). Another important advantage is the absence of papules on the skin after the procedure;
- Restylane Vital (2%) And Vital Light (1.2%) (Sweden). Depending on the concentration, it is used to rejuvenate and restore mature and young skin.
A good choice for improving the condition of the epidermis after sunbathing, solarium, photo treatments; - Profhilo (Italy). This biorevitalizant, along with two types of hyaluronic acid (total 3.2%), contains a stimulator of adipocytes - fat cells.
This is an excellent solution for people with thin faces and a deficiency of subcutaneous fat. The administration of the drug requires a minimum number of punctures, which minimizes discomfort from the procedure; - Novacutan YBio and SBio (France). The main feature of these biorevitalizants is the presence of amino acids in their composition.
Novacutan YBio is intended for patients over 20 years of age.
Novacutan SBio - for those over 35. Both drugs contain 1.5% hyaluronic acid and are suitable for preparation for hardware procedures and rehabilitation after them, as well as for preventing aging, eliminating the effects of stress and exposure to adverse external factors.
Many patients are interested in which drug to choose for biorevitalization. It is best to entrust this choice to the doctor who will perform the procedure. All biorevitalizants work wonders in skillful hands and when used correctly, they are all good in their own way, but it is important to choose a drug that is right for you.
The final choice of biorevitalizant is made only after an in-person examination. The cosmetologist must take into account the patient’s age, the condition of her skin, and lifestyle characteristics, and based on these data, recommends the most suitable products.
The choice also depends on the treatment area: more delicate preparations are suitable for the area around the eyes, and more concentrated ones are suitable for dense skin on the forehead.
If you want to inject with a certain drug, the doctor will not refuse you. But it is better to listen to the opinion of a specialist if he recommends trying another remedy that is more suitable in your case - most likely, the result will pleasantly surprise you.

Indications for biorevitalization
If you want your skin to glow with youth and freshness, to be soft, smooth, as if glowing from within, biorevitalization will be an excellent choice.
As a result of exposure:
- Deep hydration of the dermis occurs;
- The skin is smoothed;
- The feeling of tightness disappears;
- Small wrinkles disappear, the relief is evened out;
- The complexion becomes more even;
- The epidermis becomes denser;
- The functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized;
- The skin becomes firmer and more elastic.
Having realistic expectations will help you avoid disappointment. Biorevitalization will not help remove deep wrinkles, change facial features or eliminate obvious defects such as scars. It will not replace a circular lift. This type of treatment is aimed at improving the quality of the skin, deeply moisturizing it and inhibiting the aging process.
Main indications:
- Dryness, dehydration;
- First signs of wilting;
- Small wrinkles;
- Spider veins;
- Dark circles under the eyes;
- Excessive activity of the sebaceous glands;
- Decreased turgor;
- Dull shade;
- Rehabilitation after exposure to ultraviolet radiation, aggressive cosmetic procedures, and surgical interventions.
Contraindications
Cosmetic injection procedures are not performed if:
- Pregnancy, lactation;
- Oncological diseases;
- Epilepsy, mental illness;
- Fever, any acute diseases, exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- Autoimmune diseases;
- Diabetes;
- Inflammation, rashes in the injection area;
- Tendency to form hypertrophic scars;
- Blood clotting disorders;
- Individual intolerance to drug components.
What is biorevitalization and who needs it?
Let's try to understand what biorevitalization is. Almost every woman is well aware that with age, the epidermal tissues become depleted, the cells begin to work worse, and the substance responsible for youth and freshness, hyaluronic acid, is practically not produced. As a result, wrinkles, dryness, and peeling appear.
There is only one way to compensate for the lack of hyaluronic acid and enrich the skin with the necessary elements - by introducing the composition by injection. What should be injected during biorevitalization? Most often these are fillers - preparations that combine hyaluronic acid of varying concentrations and additional substances that nourish the cells of the dermis.
Who exactly is the procedure recommended for? It is believed that a cosmetologist’s patients should be women over 35 years old, but often problems begin much earlier and you have to go to the salon. Indications for the introduction of fillers may include:
- excessive dryness of the skin, accompanied by peeling;
- numerous wrinkles;
- unhealthy shade;
- disturbances in the blood flow;
- low production of hyaluronic acid by skin cells;
- changing facial contours;
- defects on the skin after plastic surgery;
- abundant scattering of acne.
You should not expect that the results of biorevitalization will exceed all expectations after the first procedure - it will often take several sessions to completely get rid of the problem.
We recommend reading: reviews of Aquashine biorevitalization.
Contraindications can be absolute or relative.
In the first case, you will have to abandon biorevitalization until complete recovery. If the contraindication is relative, then after consultation with the attending physician and his consent to the procedures, you can begin injections.
It is undesirable to carry out the procedure during menstruation: at this time, blood clotting decreases, and the likelihood of bruising increases.
Hyaluronic acid rarely causes intolerance, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. In addition, an allergy to other components of the drugs is possible.
If you have ever undergone biorevitalization, be sure to tell the doctor what drug was used and what the reaction was to it. This will help you make the right choice of biorevitalizant.
How long does the effect last and how to maintain it?
Almost every woman who is just about to subject herself to the not very pleasant procedure of administering the drug by injection is interested in whether she will go through the torment in vain and how long the effect of facial biorevitalization lasts. Regardless of which particular composition was used for the procedure, the time of its effect differs little - only six months. Do I need to immediately undergo additional manipulations? Now let's try to figure this out.
The opinion that within six months the face will immediately become covered with wrinkles and take on a dull hue is erroneous - nothing will change, and for a long time. Simply, the effect of the injected hyaluronic acid will end, and it will begin to dissolve through the cells of the epidermis. The changes that occurred under the influence of hyaluronic acid will remain completely, but the aging process of the skin will continue.
Important! To continue the effect, you will have to go back for the filler injection procedure. If there is no opportunity or desire for additional sessions, it’s okay - the skin will simply continue to age, although not as rapidly as before biorevitalization.
How long does the effect last if you do not give up biorevitalization and regularly visit a cosmetologist? A unique property of fillers is that they can accumulate in the cells of the epidermis, although quite slowly. What does it mean? It’s simple – you’ll have to visit a beauty salon less and less each time. The skin, under the influence of compositions based on hyaluronic acid, will independently produce the substance necessary for hydration and freshness.

Carrying out biorevitalization
All injection procedures are associated with a violation of the integrity of the skin, which means they must be carried out in a clinic where all hygienic requirements are met. The professionalism of a cosmetologist is no less important. If the injections are not performed carefully and evenly enough, the drug is injected at the wrong depth and in the wrong dosage, then the result, at best, will not be noticeable. Therefore, do not skimp on the clinic, choose a qualified and experienced doctor.
The procedure is preceded by an examination and a short interview. Tell your doctor about all your illnesses, allergic reactions to medications and cosmetics, and previous experience with injection procedures, if any. Don't forget to mention what effect you expect from the procedure. You can also ask a specialist all your questions about biorevitalization.
An anesthetic cream or gel is applied to cleansed skin. After the product has taken effect, it is removed from the skin and the epidermis is disinfected.
The doctor selects the most suitable biorevitalizant based on the results of the examination and the collected medical history. The drug is opened immediately before use.
Biorevitalization involves the uniform introduction of small doses of hyaluronic acid. Injections are never given in the area of moles or birthmarks.
An experienced doctor needs 10-20 minutes to treat one area. After this, the face is disinfected again.
What happens to the skin after biorevitalization
Hyaluronic acid is not rejected by the body, since this substance is completely identical to that which is produced naturally.
Hyaluronate molecules are distributed throughout the skin and begin to attract water molecules. This is a gradual process, so the effect of the procedures increases gradually - from session to session.
The standard course of biorevitalization is from 4 to 8 procedures with an interval of at least two weeks. The first results appear after the second session; after the last, the effect continues to increase for some time and then stabilizes. The number of sessions and their frequency may vary depending on the chosen biorevitalizant, age, and individual characteristics of the body.
The skin gradually smoothes out, looks younger, fresher, brighter. Under the influence of hyaluronic acid, the production of elastin and collagen, which are responsible for the elasticity of the skin and its turgor, increases. The epidermis becomes denser and acquires an elusive inner glow.
We can say that biorevitalization starts the rejuvenation process, so the effect lasts for a long time. The face remains young even after the drug is removed from the body.
What to expect immediately after the procedure?
The procedure performed by a cosmetologist will not bring you any discomfort. In most cases, injections do not leave any very noticeable marks on the face.
It is absolutely normal if, when palpating, you feel bumps at the injection sites - these are accumulations of hyaluronic acid, which takes some time to resolve, evenly distributed in the tissues of the face. This usually takes 1-2 days.
The maximum effect of the biorevitalization course is noticeable 1-2 weeks after the last procedure. If you take before and after photos, you can clearly see how your skin has changed. Our cosmetologists are waiting for you for a biorevitalization course. Take the opportunity to take care of your skin professionally.
Rehabilitation
Immediately after the procedure, the face (or other treated area) turns red, marks of injections, papules, and even, possibly, small bruises are visible on it. Possible swelling. All this is a natural reaction to multiple injections.
Swelling and redness usually subside within a day, papules completely resolve on the third day. During this time, it is necessary to take care of the skin and avoid using cosmetic masks, scrubs, and thick nourishing creams.
Until complete healing, you need to carefully monitor hygiene to prevent infection from getting into the punctures.
After this, you can lead a normal life. The restrictions are minimal: for a couple of weeks you need to avoid any thermal procedures, active sports, or alcohol abuse. Massage of the treated areas is prohibited; it is better to touch your face with your hands as little as possible.
How to maintain the effect for a long time?
Injection procedures are good because the results last a long time. On average, after a course of biorevitalization, you can enjoy the result within 6-12 months. The duration of this period depends on several factors: the type of drugs, individual characteristics, lifestyle and compliance with the doctor’s recommendations.
After intradermal administration, the drug does not remain in the skin forever - over time it disintegrates and is eliminated naturally. The rate of decay largely depends on the intensity of blood circulation and metabolic rate. For this reason, for at least two weeks after each biorevitalization session, you should refrain from activities that activate blood circulation and lead to dilation of capillaries.
In particular, it is recommended to avoid visiting baths and saunas, hot baths, and sunbathing on the beach or in a solarium.
You should refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages. Sports activities are also prohibited. Even just standing for a long time with your head bowed is not recommended. For example, it is recommended to avoid washing your hair in this position at least in the first days after the procedure. Do not overuse hot, spicy foods.
By the way, it is also better not to get carried away with salty foods, but for a different reason - because of the risk of swelling, which will interfere with assessing the effectiveness of the effect.
If possible, after completing the course you should also avoid procedures that stimulate blood circulation - this will help maintain the results for a long time.
