Moisturizing is a procedure that the skin of the face constantly or regularly needs. Every woman knows about this, but not everyone can achieve high-quality hydration at home: creams and serums do not work in the long term, and sometimes have the opposite effect.
Why moisturize your skin and what happens if you don’t moisturize it?
- Before hardware procedures and peelings, moisturizing helps prepare the skin for exposure. In this case, the rehabilitation period after aggressive hardware procedures is reduced, and the result is better.
- In summer and winter, moisturizing creates an internal buffer in the skin from the effects of heat and cold.
- Without enough moisture, the skin begins to fade, become thinner, and become covered with a network of wrinkles. If you are over 30 years old , live in a city and travel to countries with a different climate, you need to repeat the procedure at least 2 times a year!
Until recently, cosmetologists could offer only one option for global skin hydration - biorevitalization: the introduction of hyaluronic acid through a series of injections using the micropapular technique. Today, the arsenal of professional means to combat dry skin has expanded significantly and become more selective.
Skin moisturizing procedures are selected depending on the problems and skin condition of a particular patient!
We offer several procedures for introducing preparations based on hyaluronic acid to moisturize the skin.
Biorevitalization what is it?
Biorevitalization is an effective technique for the prevention and correction of age-related changes. The goal of the procedure is to act on the main cause of aging of the epidermis - loss of water balance and ability to retain moisture. The preparations saturate the skin with hyaluronic acid, which moisturizes it and restores water balance. As a result, wrinkles and folds are smoothed out, the aging process slows down, and signs of aging disappear.

The effect of biorevitalization
Skin biorevitalization gives fairly quick results. Thus, the first changes can be noticed after two procedures, and after a couple more sessions the patient receives the final effect, which lasts for an average of six months. And with careful skin care - much longer.
The skin becomes more elastic, smooth and radiant thanks to the action of preparations with hyaluronic acid - they create a hydro reserve from the inside, which moisturizes the dermis and normalizes its condition.
Sometimes patients note a feeling of dryness on their face after a session, but this is more typical for the heating season and the dryness quickly disappears.
The advantages of biorevitalization:
- Natural rejuvenation. The concentration of elastin and collagen in cells decreases with age, the skin becomes dry and flabby. Once in the tissue, the active component of the preparations - hyaluronic acid - triggers the generation of these substances, nourishes and moisturizes the skin naturally.
- Quick results. The visible effect appears almost immediately - it will be noticeable after 1-2 sessions.
- Long lasting effect. The procedure allows you to forget about wrinkles and a flabby dry face for a long time. The result lasts up to six months, and under the right conditions, the skin remains elastic and fresh for several years.
Option No. 3: bioremodeling with Profhilo
The drug Profhilo appeared on the Russian market in the spring of 2021, and immediately gained stunning fame. Profhilo moisturizing is also called bioremodeling, since clinical studies have shown unique results in skin restoration.
Key advantages over predecessors:
- Pure hyaluronic acid in the composition of the drug without impurities and binding agents;
- Maximum concentration of the active substance compared to analogues;
- A combination of low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid in one preparation.
Profhilo is administered using a special BET (bioesthetic points) technique, which does not involve the formation of papules. Therefore, bioremodeling can be safely classified as a non-papular biorevitalization procedure.
In addition to deep and intense hydration, Profhilo has a stimulating effect on fibroblasts - structures that synthesize collagen and elastin. Thus, with the help of the drug it is possible to “kill two birds with one stone”: by saturating the skin with moisture, providing it with a slight natural tightening.

Profhilo bioremodeling has a more pronounced and obvious effect from the first session, and in total it requires half as many approaches as with conventional biorevitalization.
The “ideal patient” for Profhilo bioremodeling has the following problems:
- Fine wrinkled type of aging;
- Pasty skin;
- Mesh wrinkles around the eyes and mouth;
- Creases in the forehead and bridge of the nose;
- Thin and loose skin.
In patients with deformational types of aging (swelling, jowls, deep folds, pasty and loose skin), it will be more difficult to achieve a visible result with Profhilo alone. In these situations, the procedure is combined with others.
Disadvantages of the Profhilo procedure
The impossibility of local intensive moisturizing of individual selected areas (for example, the area under the eyes). The technique is designed to affect the entire face/neck/décolleté as a whole.
How does biorevitalization work?
Biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid is a course of injection procedures during which thin, atraumatic needles penetrate precisely into the problem area to a certain depth in the area of the face, hands, eyelids, and décolleté. The punctures formed in this case additionally stimulate the immune system, launching regeneration processes. The operation is practically painless; the area is treated with an anesthetic drug in advance.
One such session lasts 45-60 minutes and is repeated 4-6 times depending on the course prescribed by the doctor. The full course should be performed at least once every six months, and in between, special supporting procedures should be carried out, such as massage and other cosmetic skin care treatments prescribed by the doctor.
The price for biorevitalization is determined depending on the chosen drug. The drug is determined by the doctor during a face-to-face consultation based on the condition of the patient’s skin, as well as depending on the effect desired by the patient.
Facial biorevitalization: the essence of the procedure
After 25 years, we notice the first signs of aging. This is the age limit after which the amount of hyaluronic acid in the epidermis decreases, and, as a result, the skin rapidly loses moisture and freshness, and its tone decreases.
And if in youth the problem of dehydration is easily solved thanks to moisturizers, then every year creams work worse and worse. The wrong choice of skincare products, smoking and love of tanning only aggravate the situation.
Injections with hyaluronic acid can “erase” both traces of time and the consequences of habits harmful to beauty. They moisturize the skin from the inside.
Biorevitalization is performed using atraumatic needles.
Injections are effective in different areas: face, hands, décolleté. The fact is that not only the drug works with a specific problem, but also punctures - they trigger regeneration processes.
To do biorevitalization - for many women today this is almost as common a manipulation as, for example, makeup removal.
This procedure is painless, because the cosmetologist applies an anesthetic cream to the patient and makes injections with very thin needles.
Today in aesthetic medicine, drugs are used whose percentage of hyaluronic acid is optimal for a noticeable rejuvenating effect.
Indications
At the age of 25, the cells’ production of their own beneficial substances begins to be less active, so it’s worth thinking about preventing age-related changes. The main reasons for carrying out the biorevitalization procedure:
- The appearance of wrinkles or their prevention;
- Age-related changes: sagging, dry skin;
- Changes in complexion: dullness, age spots, circles under the eyes;
- Enlarged pores, increased activity of the sebaceous glands;
- Cell restoration after plastic surgery, resurfacing, peeling
Option No. 1: classic injection biorevitalization
Biorevitalization is a kind of “gold standard” for deep skin hydration in a cosmetology clinic.
The biorevitalization process involves performing subcutaneous microinjections of a biorevitalizant drug with the formation of papules. Depending on the indications and goals, injections affect the entire perimeter of the face or individual “problem” areas - the forehead and bridge of the nose, the periorbital area (dark circles under the eyes and “crow’s feet”), cheeks and cheekbones, and the contour of the lower jaw.

Biorevitalization helps solve the following problems:
- Gray and lifeless skin tone;
- “Tired” and “stressed” skin (typical for people who live in big cities, smoke, practice strict diets, or have had an illness or treatment with aggressive drugs);
- Small mesh-type wrinkles;
- Dryness, tightness and flaking of the skin surface;
- Increased sensitivity (including chapping of the face in cold weather, itching after washing with hard running water, etc.);
- Excessive activity of the sebaceous glands.
The drug for biorevitalization is selected individually, taking into account the current tasks and the severity of the defects. Among the popular ones are the Italian IAL-System, the Swedish RestylaneVital, the French NCTF135 and others.
A special case of traditional biorevitalization is mesotherapy. In terms of technique, these procedures are identical; the difference lies only in the composition of the preparations. Mesotherapy may be required to solve additional problems - for example, mild ptosis, for which cocktails with peptides and enzymes are effective.
Disadvantages of biorevitalization
Appearance of the patient after the procedure. Papules disappear within 2-3 days and if the patient needs a “presentable” appearance, then within a few days after the procedure this is often impossible.
Contraindications
Who should not undergo biorevitalization? The list of contraindications is standard: blood and vascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, oncology, tuberculosis, etc.
Individual intolerance to laser and hyaluronic acid will also become an obstacle. Injections should not be given to pregnant women or during lactation. During viral or intestinal infections, injections are also prohibited.
Age is a relative contraindication to the procedure. You should not get injections before the age of 25. An exception is if you have very dry skin on your face, then you can help restore the moisture balance a little earlier, at 20-25 years of age.
People often ask whether it is possible to perform the procedure with hyaluronic acid if there are moles on the face. Of course, you cannot insert a needle directly into them. But birthmarks themselves are not a contraindication; injections are placed between them.
Duration of the biorevitalization effect
The effect of hyaluronic acid is obvious after the second procedure, and the final effect is achieved after the fourth and lasts approximately 6 months. The skin begins to glow and becomes much more elastic. This is how injected drugs work: a hydro reserve is created, which moisturizes and normalizes the dermis.
Sometimes it can be confusing that after the first injections your face feels dry, especially if the procedures are carried out during the heating season. This is normal and the dryness will disappear soon. It is also important to know that for the first few days, bumps or papules may be felt at the injection sites. They will disappear in 1-3 days.
The cosmetologist, having assessed the skin condition, will offer an optimal schedule of visits to the clinic for the client. Most often, biorevitalization is performed in a course of 4-6 procedures with a two-week interval between them. Between courses, maintenance procedures are required; they will be prescribed by a cosmetologist.
Advantages
The introduction of hyaluronic acid is one of the most gentle cosmetic techniques for preserving youth.
The main effect of biorevitalization is intense hydration. And this procedure has many advantages:
- Natural effect. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance for the body and, when it enters the tissues, it triggers the generation of elastin and collagen, the production of which becomes less intense with age. Thus, the skin receives powerful nourishment, due to which its condition improves.
- Quick effect. Often the results from such injections are visible after 1-2 sessions.
- Painless and comfortable procedure. If it is performed by an experienced cosmetologist, discomfort is practically eliminated, since an anesthetic cream is used.
- Minimum side effects.
- Quick recovery or no rehabilitation at all.
- The effect lasts a long time. On average, the result lasts for six months, and the skin looks fuller and more youthful.
The safety and high efficiency of the technique make it one of the most popular.

Skin care after biorevitalization
The procedure does not require special preparation. But after it, for several days you need to refrain from doing anything that could injure the treated face. This includes massage, active sports, bathhouse and sauna. You will have to give up makeup for a couple of days. It is better not to touch your face with your hands - this will speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of infection.
Be sure to discuss with your cosmetologist what products you can use after biorevitalization. In some cases, your usual skin care will do, and for some ladies the doctor will recommend special products.
