Stylage preparations for biorevitalization and facial contouring have gained popularity among cosmetologists and their clients. They can be found under the name Rack and Style. This line is produced by France, the company Laboratoire Vivacy, which is the manufacturer and developer of these fillers.
The styling contains the anesthetic substance Lidocaine, which is considered one of the most effective and has a minimum of side effects. Unlike products without lidocaine, this gel is much easier to tolerate by clients.
Types of drugs Stylage
There are several varieties in the Stylage line: each filler is used for different purposes and occasions.
Cosmetologists should study in detail the scope of application of each of them, and clients should pay attention to the characteristics when they can choose from different options.
The 4 most popular types of Stylage are described below.
Style S
This filler is used in cases where it is necessary to eliminate small wrinkles on the surface of the skin, folds and small defects. The drug Stylage S is used precisely in the right places.
It is most suitable for young clients whose wrinkles are just beginning to appear.
Stylage S is popular for eliminating so-called “crow’s feet”. For this purpose, it is injected under the eyes.
These fillers are successfully used to correct lips, especially in those cases where it is required to do this as naturally as possible so that the intervention is unnoticeable.
Style M
Such fillers are an excellent help in eliminating medium and deep wrinkles. Stylage M is also used to correct nasolabial folds, the bridge of the nose, and lips.

- formation of small and medium depth wrinkles;
- sagging of certain areas of facial skin;
- mild ptosis of the upper eyelids;
- loss of firmness and elasticity of the epidermis.
Gels are very good at helping to solve the problem of facial wrinkles – “crow’s feet”, pronounced nasolabial folds, fine “mesh” around the lips.
Other types of Stylage
In addition to Stilage M, L, S and lip preparation, the line includes a number of other fillers. Here are some of them:
- Styling Hydro. The purpose of the drug is exclusively biorevitalization. The optimal level of skin moisture is restored, the desired density is achieved, and its firmness and elasticity are ensured.
- Stylage XL. Used for correction and modeling. With its help, you can both restore and create volume in those areas of the face where it is necessary. You can improve the oval by defining the desired contour. Reduce or eliminate the nasolacrimal groove. Using Stylage XL, cosmetologists significantly change the contours of their clients’ faces. The achieved effect is immediate and long lasting.
- Style XXL. Specialized filler. Used in certain, exceptional cases. Used for contour correction and soft tissue replenishment. XXL is not always available for sale.
The line includes both widely in demand and popular fillers, as well as those that are needed much less frequently.
Features of the composition and properties of Stylage gels
To create Stylage preparations, hyaluronic acid is used, cross-linked with mannitol using IPN-Like technology. Mannitol is used quite widely in cosmetology and has a positive effect on appearance after procedures.
The entire line is a special development of the company, designed to correct wrinkles as naturally as possible.
Styledzh preparations are used to perform biorevitalization and contour plastic surgery of individual areas of the face.
Lidocaine is included in every filler. In some, its percentage is higher, for example, in Stylage lips. The presence of lidocaine, that is, an anesthetic, makes the drug Stilage more popular, since the procedures are easier to tolerate by clients, there is no need to give additional injections.
Opinion of cosmetologists
The Stilage line of fillers is widely used in cosmetology.
Experts willingly share their experience. It is often recommended to use Stylage Lips (with lidocaine) to fill the lips, because the drug is effective and leaves virtually no side effects.
Experts also call long-term retention of results a plus of the entire series.
Where and when are Stilage injections used?
The Stylage line is used for the following purposes:
- Carrying out the biorevitalization procedure. Stylage Hydro is often used for this, but a rejuvenating effect can also be achieved with other fillers from this manufacturer.
- Injections for contouring. Adding volume to the desired areas of the face, correcting imperfections, changing the oval.
- Beauty injections are performed to change the shape of the lips, improve their contour or enlarge them with hyaluronic acid. Stylage Special Lips can be used for each of these purposes.
Unlike many drugs aimed at facial rejuvenation, Stylage fillers benefit the skin. Improving appearance occurs not only due to the introduction of the substance and its distribution in the desired areas.
Hyaluronic acid, combined with a natural antioxidant called mannitol, has a positive effect on tissue: the skin is moisturized, toxic substances are removed from it, and collagen synthesis is normalized.
How to neutralize the effect
To completely remove injected hyaluronic acid from the subcutaneous space, the introduction of a special enzyme, hyaluronidase, is required, which quickly breaks down the main active substance of the fillers and removes it from the body.
If side effects occur, your doctor may prescribe antihistamines. Sometimes a course of hardware cosmetic procedures is required. In any case, such appointments are made strictly on an individual basis.
From what age can it be used?
If Stylage is used for rejuvenation purposes, it is not recommended for use before the age of 30. The reason is the pointlessness of such an action, since the natural production of hyaluronic acid begins to slow down only after 30-35 years. Therefore, fillers such as Stylage Hydro are not typically used for women under 30 years of age.
For contouring purposes, Stylage can be used much earlier. Already from the age of 18, a cosmetologist can offer patients the use of Stylage Lips for lips or to enlarge them. Fillers such as Stilage HL are also used to smooth out any areas of the face or give them volume.
Speaking about the age for using Stilage products, it is worth considering that the line consists of different products. Some are aimed at eliminating the first small wrinkles, others at combating deep age-related changes. Some help combat weakening of muscles, for example, when the nasolacrimal groove begins to stand out strongly or the skin under the cheeks sag.
How to use Stylege for lip augmentation
Style is used for lip augmentation, contouring of the entire face, and mesotherapy; in any case, the manipulation algorithm will be the same:
- The doctor, using professional grade cosmetics, removes makeup from the face, removes dirt, dust and a layer of secretion from the sebaceous glands.
- Treats the epidermis with an antiseptic agent.
- After the skin has completely dried, an ointment/gel is applied externally with an analgesic effect. This step is necessary if the drug does not contain lidocaine, or the patient’s skin is excessively sensitive.
- Injections with a specific drug in the chosen technique - nappage, linear-retrograde and others. It is strictly forbidden to administer more than 2 ml of gel in one session.
- Treatment of puncture sites with antiseptics.
- The doctor kneads the area of the face where the drug was injected.
- Treatment of the face with a restorative cream that has regenerating properties.
The whole procedure takes no more than 30 minutes. First, the patient visits a cosmetologist for a consultation, when the doctor explains in detail about the nuances of the manipulation, possible risks and rules for the recovery period.
It is important to follow the rules of the preparatory stage:
- within 30 days before the appointed date, stop taking antibacterial and hormonal drugs;
- do not carry out deep peeling and tattooing for a month;
- a week before the introduction of the gel, adjust your diet and give up strong tea/coffee, alcohol, and salty foods;
- It is forbidden to visit baths, saunas, or expose your face to ultraviolet rays (sun or solarium);
- immediately on the day of visiting a cosmetologist to receive injections, stop smoking.

Stylage M how long does it last?
According to statistics, cosmetologists most often use the drug Stylage M, as the effect lasts up to 12 months, is suitable for injection into the middle and deep layers of the dermis, and helps solve the problems of any age-related changes in the skin of the face.
Nasolacrimal trough procedure
For the nasolacrimal groove, the procedure is carried out according to the standard algorithm, but with one clarification: the doctor must quickly perform a mini-massage after each dose of the drug to ensure uniform distribution of the gel in the intercellular space.
If the doctor makes a mistake, this can result in improper distribution of the gel and deformation of the facial area and distortion of its features.

Carrying out the procedure: instructions
Although anyone can buy Stylage products if they wish, they cannot use them themselves.
The manufacturer warns against the use of fillers by cosmetologists at home. A cosmetology clinic, a cosmetology office - this is the only choice a client should have when going for a procedure.
The duration of a session for administering Stylage is on average 40 minutes.
Video instructions on how to properly use Stylage products:
- Makeup is removed first.
- Next, the skin is treated with an antiseptic.
- An anesthetic cream is then applied.
- Injections are carried out in the right places.
- Distribution of Stylage gel is achieved through massage.
general information
Cosmetic products under the Stylage brand have been produced by the French company Laboratorie Vivacy since 2006; they entered the Russian market 3 years after that. The main activities of the company are the development and production of drugs for mesotherapy and biorevitalization, as well as contouring.
Stylage products are a symbiosis of hyaluronic acid and mannitol (polyhydric alcohol). The principle of action of these substances is based on moisturizing the skin and renewing collagen synthesis, as well as removing toxic free radicals. Among other things, mannitol prolongs the effect of hyaluronic acid and reduces inflammation at the puncture site. According to the developers, the products in this line have the following advantages over competitors:
- slow disintegration of drug components after administration (achieved due to the density of chemical bonds);
- easy penetration of the substance, uniform distribution under the skin;
- the ability to eliminate deep folds;
- ability to work with rough and dense skin;
- validity period up to a year;
- no significant complications.
Side effects from using the gel
Although the Stilage filler is very popular and in demand, there are a lot of positive reviews and it has side effects. But in this case we are not talking about long-term problems.
The negative effects caused by the use of the gel are temporary and are caused by the entry of a foreign substance into the tissue and disruption of the integrity of the skin. They are short-term, and the full list includes a description of the drug. Manufacturers themselves talk about this.
This side effect from Stelage drugs is observed in 90% of cases. Expressed in the signs listed below:
- discomfort;
- itching;
- bruises;
- swelling;
- papules.
These conditions are normal and do not require treatment. The symptoms will go away on their own in 3-5 days.
Fillers based on hyaluronic acid
The popularity of contour fillers containing hyaluronic acid is also justified by its properties. First of all, such a substance is initially found in the skin and human epithelial tissues. It retains moisture, maintains hydrobalance and ensures cell regeneration.
However, with age, the body produces less and less hyaluronic acid, and it ceases to be enough. As a result, the skin dries out, loses elasticity, becomes wrinkled, and begins to age. The introduction of hyaluronic acid from the outside allows you to compensate for this deficiency and stimulates its natural production.
The acid contained in the filler is identical to that present in the body, so the latter does not perceive the injected gel as something foreign. He takes the drug loyally, without causing allergic reactions or inflammation. The skin is rejuvenated: moisturized, smoothed, its tone increases, wrinkles are filled, scars disappear, etc.
There are two types of biogels based on hyaluronic acid:
- monophasic. The particles in them are plastic, of the same size and therefore are distributed evenly in the layer between the epidermis and dermis, easily allowing the creation of bulges and depressions. Representatives: German Belotero, French Juvederm, Swiss Teosyal;
- biophase. Contain large and small, elastic and hard particles. These drugs are denser than the first ones, hold volume well, but do not migrate independently in tissues, so experience is required to work with them. They allow you to correct facial features and its oval. The most popular is Restylane (Sweden).
Thanks to such fillers, contouring is completely safe, it is carried out quickly (from 15 to 60 minutes), there is no rehabilitation period, and the effect is visible literally immediately after the procedure. The end result is “ready” in a week, a little more.
After 6–12 months, hyaluronic acid is completely absorbed naturally and the procedure can be repeated.

Photos "before" and "after"
Duration of action
It is impossible to give an exact period when talking about how long the effect of the injection lasts. This parameter is individual. It depends on the skin type and its condition, on the gel used, age, and method of administration.
Average figures regarding how long the effect lasts:
- If it is Stylage S filler, then the result will last 9-12 months.
- If Stilage L or M, then up to 1 year.
- Hydromax (Gidromaks), ХХЛ, XL – less than a year.
- If Stylazh Lips, then a year or more.
Precautionary measures
To minimize the risk of side effects, the following precautions should be taken:
- To carry out the procedure, contact specialized clinics - sterile conditions are important.
- Study reviews about the doctor, get information about his personal reputation.
- Undergo a preliminary examination, take a blood test and find out the level of functioning of the blood clotting system.
If you additionally strictly follow the doctor’s instructions, carry out the preparatory stage correctly and recover correctly, then the results will be pronounced, expected and with the stated shelf life.

Other fillers: comparison
Styling can be combined with other products and procedures used to eliminate facial wrinkles. Stylage fillers combine well with Botox or Dysport, and with the chemical peeling procedure. However, in the latter case, time must pass between these manipulations - about 2 weeks.
An alternative to the Stylage brand are various injectable gels containing hyaluronic acid, such as Juvederm and Surgiderm (Surgiderm) or Perlane.
For lip augmentation, Princess filler, Juvederm and others can be used along with Stillage.
If the client complains of sagging skin due to aging, then in this case more serious changes will be required, such as a facelift.
Unlike Stilage, Radiesse does not contain hyaluronic acid, but includes calcium hydroxypatite, which provides a lasting result of filling wrinkles for 1.5 years.
You need to choose which is better, Stylage, Juvederm or Regeness, based on several parameters. First of all, it is important to take into account individual health characteristics, since many clients are allergic to anesthesia (Lidocaine and other painkillers). A drug such as Restylane does not contain lidocaine.
Of the French brands, Filorga fillers can be compared. According to reviews from cosmetologists and their clients, a series of drugs from the Swiss company Teosyal is no less effective.
When comparing products, pay attention to the price and take into account the cost of the specialist’s work.
Your choice should be based primarily on the advice of a specialist, since after a personal consultation and examination he will be able to say exactly what is right for you.

Patient reviews
Marina, St. Petersburg About 2 years ago, as part of a promotion, I had my nasolabial done with the help of Stelazh. I really liked the result, the price was low. The effect lasted a long time, so I will repeat it soon.
Olga, Moscow A week ago I received stylogie injections to enlarge my lips. I don't see any significant improvements. My lips were still small. Immediately after the injection, they swelled a little, but when the swelling went down, everything returned to its original form. I have nothing to compare with; I did contour plastic surgery for the first time. Maybe the effect comes with time, I don’t know... They injected a total volume of 1 syringe of 1 ml.
Vika, Kazan I inject natural fillers with hyaluronic acid Stylazh so that it is barely noticeable - 1k. The durability lasts approximately 8-10 months, and so on for 2 years. So far there have been no side effects, no bruises.
Alina, Yekaterinburg I did Stylage S and Stylage L at the same time. I found my cosmetologist through Instagram. She showed me the filler quality certificate and her license to work. I was injected with Stylazh C to smooth out wrinkles on my forehead, and Stilazh L for correction in the cheekbone area. The result was amazing - after a week, the cheekbones became clear, the forehead was even, as if 5 years had been erased from the face. The swelling was there for the first 2 days, then it quickly went away. On the first day after the procedure, I had to take time off from work so as not to embarrass people with swelling on my face. Otherwise everything went perfect.
Skin care after Stylage gel injections
After the cosmetologist has completed his part of the work, responsibility falls on the shoulders of the patient. The result of the procedure, consequences and effect will largely depend on how the patient adheres to the rules, especially in the first few days.
Recommendations for skin care after the biorevitalization procedure:
- avoid sun rays and thermal procedures;
- no massage, self-massage and rubbing in ointments, masks;
- if the skin is tight, you can apply a moisturizer that does not contain alcohol;
- no need to visit the pool for a few days;
- For the first three days it is better not to wear makeup at all, but especially not to use foundation.
