In modern cosmetology, dozens of gels with hyaluronic acid , which differ both in characteristics and in purpose. Experienced clients of beauty salons know: it is important to keep the stub of the package of the product injected under the skin. Why do you need to do this? Before undergoing a biorevitalization course, you and your cosmetologist will select a gel that matches the ingredients and will not cause an allergic reaction.
What types of preparations for biorevitalization are there and which one is better to choose, we will tell you further. We clarify: all products are intended for salon use : using them at home is a risky step.
What is Mezovarton
Meso-Wharton P199 (Mezovarton) is a gel filler that is produced in the United States of America. The manufacturer came up with and brought to life a unique formula based on the use of a special patented peptide Wharton Jelly Peptide P199.
Its difference is its similarity to a human stem cell. Due to this, the patient’s body reacts favorably to the filler, that is, an inflammatory reaction does not form.
One injection also includes:
- hyaluronic acid;
- vitamin complex;
- poly-, oligopeptides (growth factors);
- amino acids;
- tripeptide;
- microelements;
- coenzyme;
- taurine
The active components are contained in the drug in low concentrations, so they do not play a replacing, but a regulating role, triggering the natural processes of skin rejuvenation.

How does the procedure work?
Preparation for the procedure is simple: the skin is cleansed of commonly used creams and cosmetics. Next, a professional cosmetologist accurately calculates the dosage of the drug individually for each patient.
The procedure is designed for the age category after 30-35 years, because it is at this age that changes in the condition of the skin begin to manifest themselves most actively.
The drug is injected using a very thin needle so that the patient feels only a slight tingling sensation. Moreover, the introduction is carried out strictly along the massage lines. The procedure is absolutely painless and safe.
The procedure ends with the application of a soothing gel, which reduces possible swelling after injections.
What is Aquashine
Aquashine in its structure and application is also a filler, however, it contains a different peptide composition. It includes:
- oligopeptide-72 - eliminates wrinkles and prevents the formation of new ones;
- oligopeptide-34 - removes pigment spots, evens out the skin tone;
- oligopeptide-24 - reduces the severity and size of scar changes;
- oligopeptide-62 - increases elasticity and tissue tone;
- acetyl decapeptide-3 - reduces the rate of development of age-related changes;
- decapeptide-29 - eliminates the inflammatory process.
Vitamins, minerals, coenzymes, and amino acids are also added to the product.
The drug is available in three versions: Aquashine Classic, BR, BTX. They differ in the point of application and the percentage of certain elements.

Bioreparation: Indications
Facial bioreparation is the procedure most often used to rejuvenate and tighten facial contours. Most often, the procedure is used by women aged 30-40 years. However, these are not all areas of action of this technique. In fact, the range of indications for bioreparation is much wider:
- rosacea;
- the presence of scars, scars and other acquired defects;
- excessive pigmentation of the skin;
- dry skin;
- loss of clarity of facial contour;
- acne and acne;
- age-related skin changes, etc.
Differences and similarities
The drugs have certain characteristics that are similar and different from each other. It is impossible to say exactly what to give preference to: Mesovarton or Aquashine.
Both fillers are valued by specialists; they are simply used in different situations. A cosmetologist always makes a choice based on the characteristics of the patient’s skin and his own accumulated experience.
Below are the criteria that cosmetologists focus on before choosing a filler.
Mechanism of action
The most important similarity between Mezovarton and Aquashine is that both fillers include unique peptides, which have no analogues in other injections of similar action. In addition, almost the same vitamins, minerals, amino acids and hyaluronic acid have been added to the products for greater nutrition and hydration of the skin.
There is only one, but significant difference in the mechanism of action - a single peptide with high biochemical activity is added to Mezovarton, while Aquashine contains several protein elements, between which all the functional activity is distributed.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
The more proteins (natural or synthetic) a drug contains, the higher the risk of developing an allergic reaction such as rejection of foreign substances. It is necessary to remember whether there was a reaction to the previous injection of the drug, and refuse repeated injections. Because the next “allergy” is tens of times stronger than the previous one.
Efficiency
If all manipulations are carried out correctly using any of the fillers, you can achieve a pronounced cosmetic effect:
- smoothing of the epithelium;
- bleaching fabrics;
- return of tone and elasticity;
- saturation of the epidermis with moisture;
- elimination of possible inflammation.
After several procedures, the woman sees that the double chin has shrunk, the shaved hair has been reduced, the natural radiance of the skin has returned, and pigment spots have disappeared.
Indications for use
Mesovarton was invented in order to specifically combat age-related changes. The list of indications includes:
- formation of deep senile and facial wrinkles;
- sagging skin in the form of “bulldog” or swollen cheeks;
- dry skin due to active loss of moisture;
- hyperpigmentation.
Fillers are also suitable for preparing tissues for other cosmetic procedures. Aquashine has less activity, so the indications for use are as follows:
- prevention of skin aging;
- improving the condition of tissues, their nutrition, hydration and restoration;
- filling the nasolabial fold and nasolacrimal groove;
- lip enlargement
Contraindications
If you take Mezovarton or Aquashine and compare the instructions for use, you can conclude that the contraindications and side effects of fillers are not much different from each other. Injections are prohibited under several conditions:
- pregnancy;
- breastfeeding period;
- growth of malignant neoplasm;
- active phase of viral, bacterial or fungal infection;
- exacerbation of chronic pathology;
- tendency to form keloid scars;
- diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2;
- taking medications that thin the blood (antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants);
- the presence of implants in the area of interest;
- tendency to form an allergic reaction;
- individual intolerance to components;
- age less than 18 years.
Due to the presence of contraindications, the patient is recommended not to carry out the anti-aging procedure on his own, but to contact an experienced cosmetologist who uses certified products and is himself licensed.
Technology
The technique for introducing fillers is the same; it consists of three stages: preparation, the procedure itself and the recovery period. Initially, you need to come to a cosmetologist so that the doctor can conduct a general examination and consult the patient.
In some cases, a person is recommended to undergo a clinical and biochemical blood test to exclude pathology. Next, within three days it is advisable to adjust your diet and lifestyle: do not eat fried, fatty, smoked foods, do not smoke and, if possible, stop taking certain medications. The day before the procedure, smoking and drinking alcohol are prohibited.
The procedure itself includes the following order of manipulations:
- cleansing the skin of cosmetics, impurities, and oily films;
- applying gel or cream with anesthetic;
- after some time - remove any remaining product;
- treating the skin with an antiseptic;
- marking areas for filler injection;
- opening the drug directly before the patient;
- performing an injection;
- re-treatment of the skin with an antiseptic;
- applying a sedative.
During the recovery period, do not touch your face with your hands and actively rub the cream into the skin for 24 hours. You can use skincare and decorative cosmetics only for 3-4 days. When going outside, be sure to apply a cream filter, thus protecting fabrics from the aggressive effects of ultraviolet radiation.
For 7 days, it is undesirable to expose your face to heat, that is, take hot baths, visit saunas, steam baths and solariums. After 5 days, you can do a light massage yourself with your fingertips - this way the hyaluronic acid is evenly distributed in the subcutaneous space.
Patient age
The Mezovarton peptide molecule resembles a human stem cell in structure and function, so it should be used by people over 35-40 years of age. During this period, the skin just loses its ability to produce the proper amount of collagen and elastin and ages irrevocably.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
After the introduction of a stem cell, unpredictable reactions may develop. The fact is that a stem cell is unipotent, that is, it can transform into any skin cell. The drug is administered to activate the synthesis of clolagen and elastin, and the stem cell suddenly turns into a pigment cell...
Aquashine is suitable for girls over 25 years old; its active components only support the rate of synthesis of biologically active elements and stimulate the natural processes of tissue repair.
Recommendations after the procedure
- After the bioreparation procedure, experts recommend excluding sunbathing for 2 weeks, as well as visiting solariums, baths, and saunas; eliminate alcohol for 1 week; Do not use decorative cosmetics for a day.
- It is also necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the skin after injections. If swelling at the puncture site does not go away for too long, or something causes concern, you should immediately contact your healthcare professional.
Opinion of cosmetologists
On forums it is impossible to find a clear answer to the question of which is better: Mesovarton or Aquashine. Each doctor only shares his experience of using both fillers and expresses his personal opinion:
