Laser biorevitalization of hands: features of the procedure

Biorevitalization of the face and body is a method of injection rejuvenation and skin healing with preparations based on hyaluronic acid (biorevitalizants). As a result of biorevitalization procedures, the skin is saturated with moisture, which creates conditions for the normal functioning of all processes in the dermis.

Biorevitalization is considered one of the effective ways to correct unfavorable changes in the quality and structure of the skin. Regular facial biorevitalization procedures (course 2-3 x 2 times a year) are one of the most effective methods of preventing and stopping skin withering and aging. This method can be applied to any part of the body, but the most relevant is biorevitalization of the face, the area around the eyes, biorevitalization of the neck and décolleté, as well as the back of the hands.

Why do hands age?

It’s not for nothing that they say that you can tell your age by your hands. And the main reason for this is improper hand skin care or lack of it at all.

Signs of aging hand skin:

• the skin becomes dry, dehydrated, rough, loses its firmness and elasticity
• wrinkles and age spots appear
• veins on the back of the hand become more pronounced

Causes of deterioration of hand skin condition

The skin of the hands can deteriorate for various reasons, the main ones:

• Age-related changes, including a decrease in the amount of hyaluronic acid in the dermis, which directly affects the quality of the skin.
• Exposure to adverse environmental conditions. The skin of the hands is constantly exposed to such external factors as cold, household chemicals, chlorinated water, ultraviolet radiation, etc., which provokes disruption of its blood circulation and nutrition.

Hardware methods: laser skin resurfacing (fractional erbium photothermolysis)

During the procedure, the top layer of the epidermis is selectively removed, along with scars, wrinkles and small folds, all skin irregularities are removed. Healing processes are activated, which promotes the production of new collagen and elastin. The skin is renewed, its color and texture are evened out, and its elasticity increases. Unlike classic laser resurfacing, which completely removes the epidermis layer and requires a significant recovery period, fractional laser acts much more selectively. In this laser, the radiation is represented by a large number of microbeams. Each such ray creates a small depression in the skin in the form of a column. Healing occurs by tightening the surrounding tissue, which leads to a reduction in excess skin, and the recovery period is no more than a week. The result of laser rejuvenation can be assessed in approximately 7-10 days. True, there is also the possibility of complications: after carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, hyperpigmentation and even small scars may appear. The erbium laser operates much more carefully, so complications are extremely rare. By removing the upper layers of the epidermis, young, healthy skin without wrinkles and age spots is formed.

What is hand biorevitalization?

Biorevitalization of hands is a process of injecting subcutaneously (from the back side) preparations based on hyaluronic acid, which deeply moisturize the skin and improve local blood circulation, trigger the production of collagen and elastin.

It is worth noting that to obtain the maximum pronounced and lasting effect, several procedures may be required.

Typically, patients over 40 years of age apply for the procedure. But you can carry out the procedure at 30-35 to prevent aging of the skin of your hands.

Description of the method of skin biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid

About the importance of hyaluronic acid for the skin.

The main role in the skin's ability to resist the aging process, as well as maintain tone and elasticity, is given to its moisturizing (good hydration). And the ability of tissues to retain water is determined by the amount of hyaluronic acid (HA) in them. One HA molecule is capable of attracting and holding an amount of water exceeding its own weight. HA prolongs the life of skin cells and promotes proper growth of its layers, has an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effect.

Only with sufficient hydration are dermal cells able to renew themselves in a timely manner and resist the aggressive effects of environmental factors (wind, solar radiation, frost, etc.).

If there is not enough hyaluronic acid in the tissues, the skin becomes less hydrated, wrinkles appear, its tone decreases, it looks flabby and dull, and the oval of the face “floats.”

In addition, under conditions of dehydration under the influence of external factors and improper care, the hydrolipid mantle of the skin is damaged, which leads to the appearance of dryness and various dermatitis.

With a deficiency of HA in the tissues of the dermis, the effectiveness of any cosmetic procedures, hardware and laser rejuvenation sharply decreases.

The amount of HA in the skin may decrease as a result of the following reasons:

• Natural age-related changes.
• Incorrect care.
• Bad habits: smoking, lack of sleep, alcohol abuse, sedentary lifestyle.
• Active insolation – adherence to tanning and solariums.

The method of biorevitalization of the face and body is the injection of preparations based on hyaluronic acid in the form of an aqueous gel with different concentrations of HA into various layers of the dermis.

Injections of preparations for biorevitalization of facial skin based on hyaluronic acid replenish the endogenous deficiency of HA, stimulate its natural synthesis, improve metabolism and metabolic processes in the dermis. During the biorevitalization procedure of the face and body, not only obviously problem areas (wrinkle area) are exposed, but also the entire surface of the selected area of ​​skin, for example, the face, neck, etc.

Modern preparations for biorevitalization procedures of the face and body are produced in disposable syringes and contain a sterile, transparent, colorless, biodegradable gel for intra- or subcutaneous administration.

Effects of biorevitalization of face and body

• The structure of the cellular matrix is ​​improved or completely restored.
• The synthesis of collagen and elastin proteins, which make up the skin framework, is enhanced.
• The dermis is saturated with moisture, thickens, and its elasticity increases.
• Fine wrinkles disappear, deeper creases become less noticeable.
• The antioxidant protection of the dermis increases and its recovery accelerates.
• The complexion is evened out, creating a feeling of inner radiance characteristic of young skin.

One of the main advantages of the method of biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid of the face and especially the area around the eyes is that the result can be seen soon after the first procedure, and according to doctors, prices in Moscow for such a procedure are lower than for surgery. Moreover, over time it becomes more and more obvious and after completing a course of 3 procedures it continues to intensify for some time. The advantages of the method also include absolute safety, minimal side effects, absence of absolute contraindications, painless injections (application anesthesia is applied before injections).

Indications for skin biorevitalization

• Dehydration and deterioration of the color of any areas of the skin, decreased elasticity;
• Preparing the skin for the season (summer/winter; especially in large cities);
• Dry skin;
• The appearance of signs of skin aging;
• Finely wrinkled type of aging and early appearance of wrinkles;
• Oily shine, enlarged pores, acne, acne marks;
• Staying in the sun or intense insolation;
• Hyperpigmentation and postpartum changes in the skin;
• Before and after laser procedures;
• Care and prevention of premature skin aging.

Biorevitalization of the face and neck using hyaluronic acid is also indicated before and after fractional 4D rejuvenation procedures, photorejuvenation, chemical peels, laser resurfacing for a better lifting effect.

Contraindications to biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid

• The presence of inflammatory elements, traumatic injuries and rashes in the affected area.
• The presence of multiple nevi or papillomas in the treatment area.
• The presence of acute or exacerbation of chronic diseases.
• Individual intolerance to GC and drug components.
• The period of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

As you can see, almost all contraindications to biorevitalization of the face and body are relative. Once the situation is resolved, the procedure can be carried out in full.

Modern biorevitalizants with synthesized hyaluronic acid in the vast majority of cases are complementary to skin tissue and are well tolerated by patients.

Techniques for administering HA during procedures

Our clinic specialists use two main techniques for introducing hyaluronic acid gels for the purpose of biorevitalization of the skin of the face and body:

1. Microinjections - HA gel is injected into the skin to a depth of 1 mm - into the papillary layer of the dermis, where fibroblast activity is highest. Microinjections can be performed using the “picotage” technique (1 cm apart), the “point by point” technique (butt after each other), or the “papules” technique (micropapules-depot). Such techniques, as a rule, are used to perform biorevitalization of the face, areas around the eyes, neck and décolleté.
2. Linear technique - the drug is injected to a depth of 4 mm using a long microneedle or cannula. This technique is used for biorevitalization of the face, namely for reinforcing the cheek area, correcting extended wrinkles and folds on the neck and forehead, drooping corners of the lips, crow’s feet area around the eyes or restoring skin turgor, etc. The “fan” technique is used. — linear injections from one point, fanning out; or the “mesh” technique - injections intersect in one plane at an angle of 90 degrees.

How is the biorevitalization procedure performed?

Biorevitalization of the face and body is an injection method that requires high qualifications and skills of a cosmetologist - dermatologist. Our clinic employs only experienced certified specialists, some of the best in Moscow. All injection procedures are carried out in a treatment room, which minimizes the risk of infection. You can safely trust our doctors with the health of your skin.

Before the procedure itself, the doctor talks with the patient to find out possible contraindications. Then he conducts a visual diagnosis of the skin and determines the area of ​​​​injection of hyaluronic acid. After this, the optimally effective drug for biorevitalization of the face or body is selected and how many procedures are needed - at 35 and 50 years old the needs are different.

Stages of administration of biorevitalizants

• The treatment area (face, neck, area around the eyes, etc.) is cleaned of contaminants with a special product.
• To ease the discomfort, an anesthetic ointment is applied to the skin, which will make the procedure absolutely painless.
• Marking is performed with a marker if the insertion technique using a cannula is selected.
• A series of microinjections are carried out into the superficial layers of the dermis with a syringe with a microneedle or the drug is delivered through a cannula.
• To prevent swelling and inflammatory reactions, a soothing cream is applied to the treated areas at the end of the procedure.

Biorevitalization procedures for the face, area around the eyes, neck, etc. can be combined with hardware techniques. For example, with 4D rejuvenation, thermolifting or photorejuvenation. Combining cosmetic procedures enhances the rejuvenation effect. Injections replenish the HA deficiency in the dermis, and hardware techniques activate the growth of collagen and elastin fibers.

In addition, if you are planning contour plastic surgery, it is also recommended to first undergo a procedure for biorevitalization of the face and eyelids, bags under the eyes, lips with hyaluronic acid - in Moscow the price for it is quite reasonable. This will help prolong the effect of filler injections.

Indications for the procedure

Biorevitalization of hands can be recommended for the prevention of age-related skin changes for both men and women.

Also, indications for the biorevitalization procedure of the hands may be:

• Manifestation of skin aging processes, as well as dryness, redness and peeling.
• The appearance of pigment spots, as well as a strong expression of the capillary network.
• Frequent exposure of the skin of the hands to adverse external factors (wind, frost, UV radiation, household chemicals, etc.).
• The presence of diseases associated with hormonal disorders or local circulation disorders.

What are the benefits of biorevitalization in summer?

In summer, our skin needs additional hydration, and biorevitalization helps solve the problem of dryness and protect against UV rays.

The advantages of biorevitalization in summer are as follows:

• safety and hypoallergenic;
• the ability to perform in various areas of the body (on the face, neck, abdomen, arms, knees, décolleté);
• reduction of skin hyperpigmentation;
• fast recovery period;
• obtaining long-lasting and lasting results.

Therefore, the answer to the question is whether it is worth doing biorevitalization in the summer, of course, yes.

What not to do before and after the procedure

Before the procedure:

• give up alcohol and, if possible, smoking;
• don’t get carried away with coffee - it’s better if you don’t drink it on the day of the procedure;
• Stop taking blood thinning medications (including, for example, aspirin).

After the procedure:

• Avoid wearing makeup until the papules completely disappear - otherwise it’s easy to get an infection at the puncture sites;
• immediately after the procedure, try not to touch your face;
• for a while, give up scrubs, peelings, aggressive care products - wash gels, toners, toners, creams and serums with AHA, BHA acids and retinol;
• exclude massage and sports for a week;
• in the first 7 days it is better not to steam the affected area: the sauna and hot bath will wait;
• Avoid swimming in the pool until the papules have healed.

Our specialists will give you detailed recommendations for care after the biorevitalization procedure!

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.

What drugs are used?

For biorevitalization of the face, we use the anti-aging product Juvedrum Hydrate. The drug was developed by the cosmetic company Allegran (France-USA). It includes:

• high molecular weight synthetic HA,
• mannitol,
• phosphate buffer pH 7.2.

The drug is maximally compatible with biological tissues and breaks down slowly, so the skin remains elastic and moisturized for a long time. Juvedrum Hydrate is recommended for women aged 25-35 years.

With a non-injection technique, the rejuvenating composition penetrates deep into the soft tissues using a laser or ultraphonophoresis device. No punctures are made on the skin. Exposure in this way does not cause tissue heating, does not injure and introduces a beneficial cocktail into cell membranes. A gel containing hyaluronic acid is applied to previously cleansed skin. The cosmetologist, using a special device equipped with a laser attachment, treats problem areas with smooth movements for 20 - 30 minutes. Low-intensity laser radiation delivers the drug to every cell, so the effect after the procedure appears instantly.

Contraindications

There are not many of them, but still there are contraindications. These include:

• infectious diseases;
• oncological diseases;
• allergies or intolerance to the components used;
• taking blood thinning medications;
• blood diseases;
• heat;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• skin injuries or inflammation in the correction area.

It is also better not to do biorevitalization during menstruation.

During the consultation, the specialist will ask you the necessary questions to make sure there are no risks.

Who performs the procedure

At the Cleo Line clinic, biorevitalization is performed by dermatologists and cosmetologists with specialized medical education and significant experience. Many years of work in the field of aesthetic medicine and constant improvement of knowledge through trainings, master classes and seminars in Russia and abroad allow them to successfully cope with even the most difficult cases.

Specialists will select the optimal drug and its quantity for you, determine the injection scheme and correction zones so that the effect is most noticeable.

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.

Pros and cons of biorevitalization

Hyaluronic acid administered subcutaneously is a natural component of the human body, so injections of the drug practically do not cause side effects and are safe, which is considered the main advantage of the method. Another significant advantage is the absence of a long rehabilitation period. Recovery after the procedure will take only 2–3 days, and the skin will not require special complex care. Biorevitalization can be carried out at any time of the year; other advantages of the procedure include:

• relative painlessness during subcutaneous administration of the anti-aging composition;
• high efficiency at an affordable cost of drugs;
• minimal risk of side effects and complications;
• no specific contraindications;
• the use of drugs that are chemically close to natural metabolic components;
• the possibility of carrying out the procedure at any age.

Disadvantage of the method: hyaluronic acid, having entered the process of intracellular metabolism, slowly begins to disintegrate and is excreted from the body naturally. Therefore, the course will have to be repeated again as soon as the effect after it begins to disappear.

Skin care after biorevitalization

After the injection procedure, the patient must strictly follow all the recommendations given to her by the cosmetologist. During the first two days, you should not touch the treated area or use decorative cosmetics. It is necessary to provide the skin with the necessary care by applying products prescribed by a specialist.

Bruises, hematomas, swelling and soreness may be observed, which disappear on their own after a few days. It is strictly forbidden to pierce or cauterize papules that have formed at the injection sites.

For 1-2 weeks, you should not sunbathe, go to a solarium, bathhouse or sauna, or engage in sports or intense physical exercise. Stress and any negative factors that may contribute to the accelerated dissolution of hyaluronic acid should be excluded. During this period, it is advisable to stop smoking and drinking alcohol, as bad habits contribute to fluid loss.

Next, the cosmetologist may recommend nourishing and moisturizing it with special creams or lotions to preserve youthful skin. If you have excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation, it is advisable to use sunscreen. Good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle will also help improve the condition of the epidermis and dermis.

Cosmetic procedures are contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation.

Features of hand rejuvenation with hyaluronic and poly-L-lactic acids

Injections of hyaluronic or poly- L -lactic acid

. Fillers created on the basis of these acids work real miracles, returning a second youth to flabby, wrinkled skin. Both substances are biocompatible (not rejected by the body) and biodegradable (decompose over time under the influence of enzymes and are completely excreted in biological fluids).

Preparation Sculpture

It has a particularly long duration of action: it works for 3 years after administration, which significantly enhances lifting.
Hyaluronic acid
has an effect from 6 months to 1.5 years (depending on the density of the substance and the dose administered).

Hardware hand rejuvenation techniques:

• fractional thermolysis - laser resurfacing. Seals cells, allows you to remove scars, wrinkles, scars. The laser starts regeneration processes and forms a new epidermis;
• photorejuvenation - the effect of a high-intensity light wave on the deep layers of the dermis. Eliminates superficial damage to blood vessels, pigmentation disorders (age spots), aligns and renews the epidermis;
• radio wave lifting - treatment of the skin with radio wave energy, heating the tissue up to 45 degrees. The thermolysis process triggers neocollagenesis, improves microcirculation and metabolism in the skin.
• Sometimes, in order to achieve quick and lasting results, complex measures are used, combining different techniques: for example, removing pigmentation using photorejuvenation in combination with chemical peeling. Injection techniques are considered the most popular and productive. Hardware procedures are often recommended for patients who experience allergic reactions to injection components.

Chemical peels (glycolic, retinoic, phenol, TCA)

Chemical peels have also not lost their relevance. When the first signs of aging appear, you can limit yourself to glycolic peels, which are classified as superficial peels. A course of 3-4 procedures significantly renews the upper layer of the epidermis, actively stimulates collagen synthesis, and promotes skin hydration.

For older age groups, it is recommended to use medium peels. Depending on the clinical manifestations, different drugs can be chosen - phenol, retinoids, TCA in low concentrations. Retinoic peels are preferable for chronoaging; they are very well tolerated. During the recovery period, pronounced peeling of the skin occurs. At this time, it is advisable to use products used for post-peeling care. They effectively eliminate the feeling of skin tightness and accelerate the healing process, thereby reducing recovery time. For signs of photoaging and severe pigmentation, it is preferable to use combined peeling compositions, which, in addition to retinoic acid, contain lactic, salicylic and kojic acids, which affect melanin synthesis.

Schemes for using chemical peels of superficial and medium action may vary. Depending on the indications, a specialist can conduct a course of peelings (retinoic, phenolic, TCA), as well as combine peelings of various chemical compositions and mechanisms of action.

How does the procedure work?

The first stage is consultation. A dermatologist or cosmetologist examines you, finds out what effect you want to get, and selects the appropriate drug.

Then he cleanses the face of cosmetics and impurities, and carefully treats it with an antiseptic. Applies anesthesia in the form of a cream.

When the anesthesia is effective, the specialist uses very thin needles to inject the drug into the dermis. Micropunctures enhance the effect of the drug, as they stimulate the immune system.

The procedure takes from 45 to 60 minutes.
