Hematomas, hemorrhages and bruises
These are the most common side effects after the procedure. The injections penetrate the sensitive skin, violating its integrity, which cannot remain without consequences.
The consequences of biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid preparations, such as bruises, swelling, fever, redness, and hardening of the lips, are considered normal if they disappear within 24 hours.
More severe complications include allergies, keloid scars, skin numbness, fibrosis, vascular embolism, granulomas, white, pink and blue spots and stripes.
If they appear, you should consult a doctor.
Bruises under the eyes after biorevitalization are a normal reaction of the body at the puncture site. They pass quickly and do not affect the result of biorevitalization.
Most likely, bruises and hematomas will appear if the procedure is performed during menstruation or menopause, as well as with dilated capillaries. Also at risk are smokers and women who took anticoagulant medications (for example, aspirin or medications against varicose veins) before the procedure.
A cosmetologist should always warn the patient about possible consequences after biorevitalization.
Most skin reactions after the procedure do not require active intervention. It is important to follow the doctor’s recommendations even before the procedure.

Biorevitalization
Biorevitalization in the treatment of acne and acne
Our cosmetologists actively use the biorevitalization procedure in the recovery period of skin treatment after acne. Hyaluronic acid against scars helps proper healing and, therefore, prevents their formation. If a patient comes to us with post-acne, scars, marks and spots after acne, then hyaluronic biorevitalization helps smooth out the skin and return it to its natural color. If you have adult acne, the biorevitalization procedure is not only a healing agent, but also a rejuvenating one.
Biorevitalization of the face
Biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid solves several problems at once. After the biorevitalization procedure, the skin is moisturized, its structure is restored, wrinkles are smoothed out, skin sagging goes away, and the oval of the face is tightened.
This is an excellent first aid remedy for the skin when exposed to aggressive agents (cold, heat, etc.). After biorevitalization, its recovery will be quick and effective.
Skin biorevitalization: when to do it
In order to prevent wrinkles, our cosmetologists prescribe a biorevitalization procedure from the age of 30. It is at this age that a physiological decrease in the production of own hyaluronic acid in the skin begins.
The use of biorevitalization for oily, porous skin has a good effect. Problem skin is often overdried by various cosmetics. This is the so-called oily flaky skin. Biorevitalization returns moisture to the skin, tightens pores and normalizes sebum secretion.
If you have dry and dehydrated skin, your complexion has deteriorated, circles have appeared under your eyes, fine wrinkles have become visible and you need to improve metabolic processes in the skin - biorevitalization is the procedure for you.
How does the biorevitalization procedure work?
Our patients call biorevitalization “hyaluronic mesotherapy.” Indeed, the process of the procedure is very similar. Small doses of the gel are carefully injected under the skin until a small papule appears in the places where there is a problem. Usually this is the forehead, facial contour, nasolabial folds, area around the eyes, chin. The concentration of hyaluronic acid during biorevitalization is much higher than during conventional mesotherapy, so procedures are performed less frequently. Before the procedure, local anesthesia can be performed if necessary.
Why does the skin need hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid can be called the acid of youth. In our body, it is responsible for tissue elasticity and cell restoration. Its main function in the skin is to maintain its water balance.
As a person ages, less hyaluronic acid is produced, and this leads to changes in the properties of the skin. It loses elasticity and becomes thin. Its surface is covered with wrinkles and folds. Hyaluronic biorevitalization is an opportunity to turn back time and see your face and skin as it was 5-10 years ago.
Our cosmetologists are always ready to answer your questions about biorevitalization and carry out the procedure at a time convenient for you.
Allergy
This is a rare consequence of facial biorevitalization, since hyaluronic acid is an integral component of the human body.
Peeling and biorevitalization
Peeling and biorevitalization are the most popular cosmetic procedures among women in the fight against age-related skin changes.
An allergy manifests itself in the form of one or more symptoms:
- redness of the skin over the entire area of the face, neck, chest;
- growing swelling;
- acne ;
- itching
To prevent an allergic reaction, a skin test must be taken before the session and the procedure protocol must be followed.
If allergy symptoms are detected, the maximum that you are allowed to do on your own is to wash your face with a hypoallergenic product. Next, the problem is solved together with a cosmetologist.
Biorevitalization of hands
Modern cosmetology offers several options for hand rejuvenation: cosmetic, cosmetological, hardware. In cosmetics, the use of wheat germ oil extract is at the peak of popularity today - a source of plant collagen, which, when penetrated into the dermis, triggers the production of its own elasticity and firmness fibers. In addition, the extract is rich in vitamins, microelements and amino acids, which stimulates blood flow, tissue respiration, and saturates tissues with oxygen.
The combination of wheat with angelica extract adds antiseptic properties to the preparations, makes the walls of blood vessels stronger, activates blood circulation, regeneration, removes free radicals, and smoothes wrinkles. Many beauty salons use their own recipes for hand compositions based on wheat oil and keep them secret. The following combination is useful: 1 tablespoon of wheat germ oil, a couple of drops of lavender essential oil and the same amount of bergamot. Regular use of this solution will give the skin softness, elasticity, and velvety.
Even more effective are cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and collagen from seaweed or fish scales. HA and collagen enhance each other's effects. For hand rejuvenation, products from the Eveline line are effective in different age categories. They moisturize the dermis, retain moisture in it and nourish it. Israeli brand Christina with collagen, elastin and carrot oil is designed specifically for dry hand skin. The Japanese brand Cosmetex Roland with hyaluronic acid, collagen, and Shea butter has also proven itself to be excellent.
If the skin of the hands is pigmented, use professional bleaches based on hydroquinone or AHA acids. In this case, you should remember the toxicity of the components and approach the choice of products very carefully, following the recommendations of the cosmetologist. In the series of whitening cosmetics for hand skin, the following brands are especially effective: Decleor, Academie, Yon-Ka. Each drug has its own composition, therefore, before starting whitening, it is necessary to clarify the cause of pigmentation and determine contraindications.
Finally, the use of sunscreens for hands provides background correction and prevention of aging. The UV filter prevents the dermis from fading and protects it after invasive cosmetic procedures and peelings.
Hard lips
One of the consequences after biorevitalization is hardening of the lips. In the first days after the procedure, such a condition is not considered a deviation from the norm, since their surface is injured.
To eliminate the unpleasant symptom, it is important to refrain from using decorative cosmetics, touching, biting or rubbing your lips.
To get rid of hard lips, experts recommend using cold compresses or special moisturizers. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve swelling.

Possible complications
If the consequences of biorevitalization do not cause concern, then complications are serious problems that can greatly affect the health or aesthetic effect of the procedure even after several years.
There may be:
- keloid scars;
- loss of skin sensitivity
- embolism of the vessel, and as a result - necrosis;
- fibrosis;
- white spots on the surface of the skin;
- pink and blue stripes that show through under the skin and are called the Tyndall effect;
- granulomas .
The most serious complication is embolism. During an embolism, hyaluronic acid goes directly into the blood vessel, clogging it. If the cosmetologist does not remove the blockage in time, tissue necrosis may develop.
Biorevitalization without papules: an obvious incredible thing in modern cosmetology
March 14, 2021
Cosmetologist Maya Valerievna Samoilova talks about new techniques for introducing hyaluronic acid.
— Biorevitalization can be classified as a classic procedure in aesthetic cosmetology. It is prescribed to many people. And yet: at what age and what category of patients is it necessary?
— By biorevitalization we mean intradermal, very superficial injections of unstabilized hyaluronic acid. It is introduced to moisturize the skin. Figuratively speaking, hyaluronic acid is for our cells like water for a jellyfish. We create a comfortable environment in which it will be easier for cells to exchange information, carry out nutrition processes, etc. Therefore, the procedure can be prescribed at least from the age of 20. It is especially indicated for people with dry, dehydrated skin, those who like to go to the solarium and sunbathe a lot. It would be a good idea to take the course on the eve of a trip to hot countries. Biorevitalization is also necessary for signs of photoaging, pigmentation, and age-related changes in the fine-wrinkled type of aging. And, of course, we recommend doing it before laser resurfacing or 2-3 weeks after it, when the scabs come off. This will speed up the process of tissue regeneration and improve skin condition.
— I’ll ask a question that worries many: why do small pimples remain on the surface of the skin after the introduction of biorevitalizant?
— We inject a preparation of unstabilized hyaluronic acid into the dermis using the papular technique. Small peas form on the surface - this is a “depot” of hyaluronic acid. It is gradually released, having time to exert its effect. But if you introduce it in some other way, deeply and without papules, it will immediately “fall through” into the general bloodstream and will not work. Being in these small peas, the “hyaluronic acid” penetrates into the dermis in doses, attracts water, and a quick moisturizing effect occurs. The processes of collagenogenesis and improvement of cell function begin somewhat later. The maximum result after biorevitalization is achieved after 4-5 weeks.
— An interesting drug has appeared on the market - Pro fhilo. Tell us how it differs from other biorevitalizants?
— The main difference is that it does not leave behind those very “pimples” that we just talked about! The drug contains combined (stabilized and unstabilized) hyaluronic acid, it is injected very deeply and has a prolonged effect. Here the emphasis is not on hydration, but on collagenogenesis. In addition, we inject Profhilo at 10 bioaesthetic points, which correspond to the location of fat packets on the face. It's no secret that with age, fat packets shift downwards, which is why the face looks haggard. By placing the drug in certain areas, we return the lost volume to the tissues. Working at the level of deep layers allows us to combat pronounced age-related changes.
— Patients who are prone to swelling on the face are afraid to undergo biorevitalization. To what extent is their fear justified?
— With a properly selected drug, there should be no problems in principle. If there is swelling in the periorbital area, then drugs based on unstabilized hyaluronic acid should be injected here with extreme caution. In any case, if you are prone to edema, you should give preference to less hydrophilic drugs, for example, bioremedies.
— By what principle does a doctor select a drug for biorevitalization for a patient?
— The drugs differ in their molecular weight, concentration and the presence of auxiliary components. The main rule of choice: the more pronounced age-related changes are on the skin, the more intense medications will be required. For young patients under 30 years old, we take low concentrations of hyaluronic acid with the addition of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. By introducing this “cocktail”, we actively moisturize the skin and nourish it with useful substances. And after 30-35 years, we use bioremedies - drugs with the addition of peptides, signaling molecules that have a receptor effect, forcing our cells to work as at a young age. Sometimes they contain vitamin C, one of the most powerful antioxidants.
— Which biorevitalizants have the leading positions on the market?
— There are a lot of worthy biorevitalizants. I would highlight the preparations from the French manufacturer Filorga and the Italian manufacturer Viscoderm Skinko E - they contain everything you need to build cells: minerals, vitamins, amino acids. With Filorga we work using the papular technique; it is more suitable for young skin. And Skinko E is administered at 19 bioaesthetic points. There are monopreparations containing partially stabilized hyaluronic acid. For example, Belotero Soft, which is used to reinforce leather. It does not retain volume in the tissues; it is injected as a biorevitalizant. Belotero Soft is especially good for the neck area. Juvederm Volite and Restylane Vital are preparations for prolonged biorevitalization, they also contain partially synthesized hyaluronic acid. Their introduction has its own characteristics; they are introduced very deeply. Biorevitalizants Meso-Wharton and Aquashine are very similar to each other, they contain more than 50 components, we often recommend them to young girls who are concerned about dry skin and dull complexion. There is a Russian-made drug, Hyalrepair, which contains only five components: hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and three amino acids. It works great for skin quality.
— Who is categorically contraindicated for biorevitalization?
— The procedure cannot be performed during pregnancy and lactation, with inflammation on the face, exacerbations of acne, herpes, psoriasis. People with very sensitive skin and severe rosacea should also approach biorevitalization with caution. Because there is a risk of new blood vessels appearing. Another contraindication is autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma and lupus erythematosus.
— How effective are cosmetics and dietary supplements with hyaluronic acid?
— As for cosmetics, in my opinion, this is nothing more than a marketing ploy. Hyaluronic acid is not able to penetrate the skin superficially. In creams, it only creates a thin film on the surface of the skin. People with dry skin often complain that creams and serums with hyaluronic acid do not help them. This is completely natural because they need lipids (molecules that create a protective barrier on the skin). As we age, we all lack lipids, and special cosmetics containing ceramides help to at least partially replenish them.
Taking dietary supplements is also almost not justified. Unchanged hyaluronic acid from the intestines cannot enter the skin. Because it is already being built on site. And instead of supplements, I would recommend paying more attention to proper nutrition. For healthy and elastic skin you need a nutritious diet, quitting smoking, tanning, proper home care, healthy sleep and treatments from a cosmetologist!
Causes of complications and consequences
There are several reasons for complications after the procedure.
Low professional level of cosmetologist
The most important reason for complications. You should trust only an experienced and highly qualified doctor.
Consequences may arise when using drugs of inadequate quality and unknown origin, violating the rules of septic tanks and antiseptics.
A specialist should not prescribe biorevitalization only by looking at the face. All necessary tests must be collected, an allergic reaction test must be done, a survey and an individual conversation must be conducted in order to prevent complications.
Patient irresponsibility
Biorevitalization is dangerous due to many complications, and deliberate concealment of contraindications, allergies, and medications taken that are incompatible with the procedure can lead to serious consequences. Violation of rehabilitation rules and cosmetologist’s recommendations can also lead to this.
