Skin Biorevitalization for Face & Body

Biorevitalization is the injection of hyaluronic acid-based products into the skin. The goal is not to change your facial features but to improve the quality of the skin: to hydrate it and restore its firmness and even tone. At Medest, biorevitalization is performed on the face, neck, décolleté and hands.

Who it is for

• dry, dehydrated skin with flaking and a feeling of tightness;
• a dull complexion, skin that looks tired and is losing firmness;
• the first signs of aging and fine lines;
• sun-damaged skin with signs of photoaging;
• preparation for plastic surgery or recovery afterward;
• scars, pigmentation spots or sebaceous gland problems — as part of comprehensive care.

How hyaluronic acid works

Hyaluronic acid holds water in the skin. With age, sun exposure and dry air, the skin has less of it and loses hydration and firmness. During biorevitalization, the product is injected directly into the dermis: it hydrates the tissue and stimulates skin cells that produce their own collagen and hyaluronic acid. That is why the skin changes not only right after the procedure but also over the following weeks.

Unlike fillers, biorevitalization products do not add volume or change facial contours. If you want to correct the shape of your lips, cheekbones or chin, facial contouring with fillers is the right option.

How the procedure works

• the doctor examines your skin, asks about your health and selects the product;
• the skin is cleansed and treated with an antiseptic;
• a local anesthetic is applied;
• the area is marked;
• the product is injected with a fine needle on a single-use syringe;
• a soothing product is applied to the skin at the end.

After the procedure, small bumps are visible at the injection points, and some redness and swelling are possible — they usually resolve within a couple of days. For this reason, it is best not to plan important meetings for the next few days. For the first few days, you are usually advised to avoid makeup, steam baths, saunas and swimming pools, and not to sunbathe.

Products we use

Products differ in hyaluronic acid concentration, molecule size and additional ingredients. The doctor selects them based on the condition of your skin, your age and the treatment area.

How many procedures and when to expect results

The first changes are usually visible once the injection marks fade: the skin looks fresher and more hydrated. Biorevitalization is typically done as a course, and the result is then maintained with repeat procedures. On average, the clinical effect lasts 3–6 months. The doctor determines the number of procedures and the interval between them at the consultation.
