With the appearance of the first wrinkles, women immediately think about a method for removing them, thanks to this the beauty industry is thriving. Every year new procedures and drugs appear to combat this problem.
…
The most popular are injection forms of release, of which there are over a hundred items on the pharmaceutical market. Many items have a common composition, but differ significantly in cost, and it is sometimes very difficult for patients to choose among such a variety.
In this article we will talk about the Overage line of anti-aging drugs. The main component of all cosmetics is hyaluronic acid. There are four main positions: three types of Overage fillers, which have different densities and biorevitalizant skinbooster.
All cosmetic gels from the Overage series are administered subcutaneously by injection. They are intended to correct age-related changes in the skin, most often used in cosmetology, but cases of use in ophthalmology have been recorded. They are a more affordable alternative to expensive drugs based on hyaluronic acid.
The gels have the highest level of purification and a wide range of indications, which allows you to select a specific product for each patient, taking into account his state of health.
One of the features of the drugs is considered to be the special structure of HA molecules, with the help of which it is possible to achieve the fastest and at the same time long-lasting effect from the procedure.
About the manufacturer and products
Overage drugs are produced by the Italian company Mesotech. All of its products, which include both medicines and cosmetics for the face and body, are certified.
Mesotech has been operating in the cosmetology market for over 30 years. It has established not only production, but also the development and testing of its hyaluronic fillers and biorevitalizants.
All company developments comply with European quality standards. Moreover, the preparations contain no components of animal origin or GMOs. Thus, the manufacturer was able to minimize the risk of allergies, as well as increase the level of efficiency to the maximum.
Overage contains no animal ingredients
Overage fillers are ideal for contouring even in difficult cases. They can correct almost all areas of the face and body, including lips. Therefore, they can be called universal.
The drugs help to launch the renewal of the dermis, the production of its own elastin and collagen. And thanks to their special structure, they are easily distributed in tissues using a cannula.
Description of the line
The line consists of 4 drugs. This:
- Overage Derma – for contouring;
- Overage Deep – for contouring;
- Overage Deeper – for contouring;
- Overage Meso – for biorevitalization.
The main active ingredient in them is hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin. We especially note that it has undergone multi-level purification, due to which the risk of adverse reactions or allergies is minimized. Overage fillers also contain BDDE ester, which binds the molecules.
Overage Derma
To work with the superficial and middle dermis, the Italian manufacturer Mesotech has developed Overage Derma filler. It contains non-animal hyaluronic acid of bioenzymatic origin. The texture of the filler is quite viscous, but allows it to penetrate into the desired layers.
Overage Derma
Depth of injection: superficial and middle dermis.
Treatment areas: face, neck, décolleté, body by zone, hands.
Duration of effect: 6-8 months.
Concentration: 23 mg/ml.
Creating volume: +
Density: +++
Needle: 27G (2 pcs).
Advantages:
Among the advantages of Overage Derma is the absence of toxic elements in the composition, due to which the risk of complications is reduced to zero. The combination of two types of hyaluronic acid in the filler – stabilized and native – also played a role in this. Another distinctive feature of the drug is the absence of sharp contours after its use.
In addition, its biomechanical properties, which allow the gel to be evenly distributed in tissues, received positive reviews. Patients claim that the results after filler injections last for a long time.
Overage Deep
To work at the level of the middle and deep dermis, Mesotech has developed Overage Deep filler. The drug has an increased level of plasticity, due to which it is easily distributed in tissues and does not require additional measures.
Overage Deep
Cosmetologists turn to this filler if they need to remove facial creases, wrinkles, and work out the volume of the face.
Depth of injection: middle and deep dermis, hypodermis.
Treatment areas: face by zone, intimate contouring and volumetric correction.
Duration of effect: 10-12 months.
Concentration: 23 mg/ml.
Creating volume: ++++
Density: ++++
Needle: 27G (2 pcs).
Advantages:
It contains no toxic components, so the risk of complications is minimal. In addition, even on thin skin you will not get the “Tyndall” effect, that is, the skin will not be covered with pimples. Among the ingredients there is native and stabilized hyaluronic acid.
The manufacturer claims that Overage Deep remains in tissues much longer compared to similar drugs from other companies. Thanks to this, more time passes between procedures.
Overage Deeper
Cosmetologists prefer to use Overage Deeper when working with the deep dermis, hypodermis and even periosteum and cannulas. It also contains both stabilized and native hyaluronic acid. Due to this, the filler has plasticity and is easily distributed in tissues of any level. In this case, manual correction is not required.
Overage Deeper
Depth of injection: deep dermis, hypodermis, periosteum.
Treatment zones: face by zones, body by zones.
Duration of effect: 16-18 months.
Concentration: 23 mg/ml.
Creating volume: +++++
Density: ++++
Needle: 27G (2 pcs).
Advantages:
The drug is absolutely non-toxic, the risk of complications is minimized by the manufacturer, as is the likelihood of the Tyndall effect occurring even on the thinnest skin.
The fact that the results are maintained for a longer period of time than that of fillers from competing manufacturers has been confirmed.
Overage Meso
Many believe that the biorevitalizant Overage Meso has revolutionized the world of aesthetic cosmetology. This filler consists exclusively of sodium hyaluronate gel, which has been thoroughly sterilized.
Overage Meso
Area of administration: superficial and middle dermis pH: 7.4.
Treatment areas: face, neck, décolleté, earlobes, body by zone, hands.
Concentration: 23 mg/ml.
Volume creation: no.
Density: +
Needle: 30G (2 pcs).
Advantages:
The manufacturing company claims that the drug has significant differences from other products with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. In particular, the biorevitalizant helps change the structure of the dermis, as well as replenish the moisture level in the skin.
Separately, it should be said about the physicochemical properties of the drug. Due to the high concentration of sodium hyaluronate, it activates fibroblasts. This means that you have a real opportunity to restore the elasticity and firmness of your skin.
Overage Meso is effective in combating small scars and even hyperpigmentation, not to mention fine wrinkles.
The safety of the drug is guaranteed by numerous tests. Moreover, it is proven to be biodegradable and biocompatible.
Overage – Italian fillers for contouring and biorevitalization
The growing popularity of injection cosmetic procedures has led to the fact that there are already more than 100 different types of contouring preparations on the market. And they are all approximately the same in composition, so figuring out which one is better and why exactly is not an easy task.
Overage is a line of gels based on hyaluronic acid, which includes 3 fillers of different densities and one biorevitalizant with skin booster capabilities. How do they differ from their analogues and what problems do they solve? How long does the effect last? Why does TecRussia.ru doubt the advisability of using them? Read our detailed review:
↑ Where did these drugs come from and what did we immediately not like about them?
The developer and manufacturer is the Italian pharmaceutical laboratory Mesotech Srl, which specializes in producing a wide range of products for the needs of aesthetic medicine. In addition to fillers, her portfolio includes meso-cocktails, various masks, skin oils, compression garments, anesthetic creams, decorative cosmetics, etc.
- Overage injection gels were registered in the Roszdravnadzor register in 2015 (reg. No. RZN 2015/2885), the applicant was Laser Technologies LLC - this company operates under the OverCosmo brand, sells this line of drugs and conducts seminars on them for cosmetologists.
- In addition, Lantana LLC (Lantana Group) operates in the Russian Federation, which also actively sells Overage fillers, trains doctors and attracts representatives to work in the regions.
- The most interesting thing here is that each of these companies calls itself the “sole official distributor” and emphasizes that no one else has such status. They do not directly accuse each other of selling counterfeits and fakes, but they are very actively trying to create the impression that it is impossible to purchase the original drug anywhere except from them.
Of course, such methods of competition not only do not benefit them, but also mislead cosmetologists and patients. Where exactly are the drugs purchased? Do Lantana or Overcosmo have an exclusive agreement with Mesotech Srl or do they both work through intermediaries? Can they guarantee the quality of the products? Both (!) companies refused to discuss these issues with TecRussia.ru. Now let's look at the product itself:
↑ Composition, features and indications for use of Overage fillers
The line includes 4 items - Meso, Derma, Deep and Deeper. The main active ingredient of each of them is hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin, of a high degree of purification, which guarantees good tolerance of injections by the body without the risk of developing allergies and other adverse reactions.
- To bind the molecules, as in most other fillers, BDDE ester is used.
- Fillers contain both stabilized and native (unstabilized) hyaluronic acid, therefore, in addition to volumetric correction, they also provide a pronounced effect of tissue hydration.
- The concentration of HA in all these drugs is the same - 23 mg/ml, and the difference in effects is achieved due to the use of molecules of different masses in each of the products - the higher it is, the more extensive the result can be and the longer the filler lasts in the tissues. They promise that the densest gel - Overage Deeper - will work for up to 18 months.
- A separate advantage is the absence of the “Tyndall effect” - that is, theoretically, these fillers should not be translucent and visible from the outside, even in patients with very thin skin.
| Overage product | Features and indications for use |
| Meso | Positioned as a biorevitalizant-skinbooster, i.e. In addition to moisturizing the skin, it can strengthen and smooth it. Can be injected into the superficial and middle layers of the dermis. Allows:
|
| Derma | The least dense filler in the line. Placed in the middle layers of the dermis. Main effects:

|
| Deeper | The densest and heaviest, but at the same time quite flexible filler. The injection area is the deep layers of the dermis, hypodermis, to the level of the periosteum. Indications:
|
Overage fillers are available in 1 ml syringes. The preparations are completely ready for use and do not require dilution with saline or other preliminary manipulations. Each package must contain two sterile needles for administering the gel, instructions for use and stickers.
↑ How the procedure is performed
Contour plastic surgery or biorevitalization with Overage preparations should be performed only by a qualified specialist in a cosmetology or treatment room, in compliance with all sanitary rules:
- The first step is to prepare the skin for injections: remove makeup and dust particles from the face, apply anesthetic cream, antiseptic and the necessary markings.
- When the anesthetic takes effect, you can proceed to injections. The filler or biorevitalizant is injected into pre-designated points, after which it is gently distributed into the tissues with the fingers.
- Upon completion, the skin puncture sites are again treated with an antiseptic, and the patient is given recommendations for facial care.

| Photo 2 – before and after reinforcing the face with dense filler Overage Deeper: | |
The entire procedure from start to finish takes about 1 hour. Immediately after this you can go home. You should not plan a session “during lunch break” or on the eve of important public events - traces of injections will remain on the face for at least 2-3 days. The final result lasts up to 12-18 months for fillers and about 3-6 months for biorevitalizant, after which the procedure will need to be repeated.

↑ Contraindications, complications, possible side effects
Overage line products are pure hyaluronic acid without additional impurities. Therefore, the factors that exclude the possibility of carrying out the procedure are the same as for any other fillers of a similar composition:
- the presence of foci of inflammation on the skin in the injection area;
- tendency to form hypertrophic and keloid scars;
- blood clotting disorder;
- severe decompensated diseases: diabetes mellitus, heart and vascular diseases;
- autoimmune diseases;
- allergy to any of the components of the gel.
Similarly with complications and side effects - these gels cannot cause any specific troubles, but all the risks typical for procedures using HA remain:
- Large and small bruises usually resolve on their own without treatment, but can seriously damage the face in the first 1-2 weeks after the injections.
- The appearance of swelling - it will not be possible to completely avoid it either, but it can be reduced by periodically applying a cold compress to the chipped area.
- Insufficient or excessive correction, as well as the appearance of asymmetry due to uneven distribution of the gel - it all depends on the skill of the cosmetologist. If you don’t like the result of the procedure, you can either inject a little of the drug or remove the excess using hyaluronidase.
- Papules after biorevitalization are numerous bumps on the face caused by a special injection technique (multiple injections). They pass quickly and usually do not cause serious inconvenience.
- For more details, see the article “Complications after contouring.”

↑ How much do Overage fillers cost? Current prices
Very few cosmetologists work with these drugs. They appeared on the market quite recently and do not have significant advantages over their analogues. However, patients will have to pay quite a significant amount for the procedure.
| Biorevitalizant and fillers Overage – average prices in Moscow, rub.: | |
| Meso | 10 500 |
| Derma | 12 500 |
| Deep | 14 000 |
| Deeper | 15 000 |
Thus, these gels cost approximately the same as more popular, proven brands from the middle price segment - such as Princess, Bellcontour, Repleri, etc. You can save only by tracking various promotions in salons and clinics; in this case, you can find discounts of up to 20-30%.
↑ Conclusions TecRussia.ru
- Overage preparations are practically no different from other gels based on hyaluronic acid. The declared advantages are essentially not such, since approximately the same properties are found in any other modern fillers. There are currently no negative or confidently positive reviews from cosmetologists about them.
- The obvious disadvantage is the complete opacity of the selling companies and their reluctance to restore order in their relationships with each other and with the manufacturer. Given the availability of a huge number of drugs on the market of the same and better quality at a similar price, there is no point in choosing this one, at least until there is at least some certainty in its status.
- Based on the above, we do not recommend patients to use fillers and biorevitalizant from the Overage line. The exception is if it is recommended by a cosmetologist whom you completely trust. Each doctor works with those gels with which he gets optimal results, and the ability to properly prescribe drugs of a certain brand is, of course, more important than the behind-the-scenes intrigues of “official distributors”.

Advantages of the line
Cosmetologists who have already tried Overage note a number of advantages:
- Can be used on any part of the body and face.
- High level of safety of the ingredients included in the preparations.
- The results will look soft and natural.
- The effect is visible immediately after the procedure, since due to the unique formula the gel is quickly and evenly distributed in the tissues.
- The result will last from 6 to 18 months depending on the drug used.
Characteristic features of fillers
The Overage line of gels consists of four positions, namely:
- Deep;
- Deeper;
- Derma;
- Meso.
The active substance of each product is hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin with a high level of purification, which in turn protects patients from unwanted negative effects and allergic reactions. The manufacturer of these products is a company from Italy, Overage Mesotech.
Read more about the properties of hyaluronic acid, its action and preparations in our article.
The main features of the cosmetic product include the following:
- In the instructions for use, the manufacturer states that the gel is not capable of creating the “Tyndall effect,” that is, when injected under the skin, it is absolutely invisible, even in people with very thin epidermis.
- 23 mg/g is the concentration of hyaluronic acid, which is found in all four positions. The differences between the drugs lie in the molecular weight of the active component. The larger the mass of acid, the longer the effect will last, and the faster the result will be visible. Hyaluronic acid with the highest molecular weight is contained in Deeper gel, which allows you to observe the effect of the procedure for 1.5 years.
- To form a strong bond in fillers, a substance from the ester group, namely BDDE, is used.
- Hyaluronic acid can be found in fillers, both in stabilized and unstabilized form. Due to this, drugs are used not only to correct skin defects, but also to moisturize it.
Overage gels are packaged in 1 ml syringes, which greatly simplifies the work of cosmetologists, since there are products based on hyaluronic acid, which must be diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride solution before direct administration. In addition, the package is equipped with two sterile needles, instructions on how to administer the gel and stickers.
Carrying out the procedure
Stages of the procedure using contour plastic as an example:
- The cosmetologist removes makeup from the face (it is better not to do it at all on the day of the procedure), and particles of dust that fall on the skin while walking down the street. The skin is treated with an antiseptic.
- A cream with an anesthetic effect is applied and markings are made.
- A few minutes after the anesthetic begins to take effect, the cosmetologist begins injections. Overage is injected in small doses into previously marked areas.
- As soon as the drug is introduced, it should be distributed with light massage movements.
- To prevent infection from getting into the injection wounds, they are finally treated with an antiseptic drug.
The procedure takes up to 60 minutes depending on the number of zones. Traces of injections remain for 2-3 days.
Methodology for rejuvenation procedures using Overage gels
Biorevitalization and contouring with Overage preparations are performed by a licensed specialist under conditions of absolute sterility in order to avoid infection of the injection site.
The procedure is carried out in several stages:
- Cleansing the skin of cosmetics.
- Treatment of the skin with an antiseptic, followed by application of a local anesthetic cream.
- Designation of intended injection sites.
- After the anesthetic has taken effect, you can begin the direct administration of the cosmetic gel.
- The gel is carefully distributed with your fingers at the injection site.
- After the procedure is completed, the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic solution.
- The doctor informs the patient about further care and behavior.
The duration of the procedure ranges from 40 to 60 minutes. The final result of the procedure lasts for 1-1.5 years for Overage fillers, and up to six months for Overage meso.
Complications and side effects
Using Overage is completely safe in most cases, but in some situations complications and side effects may occur. During testing, the manufacturer identified the following:
- swelling and bruising;
- slight itching;
- pain in the area of the procedure;
- allergic reactions;
Most often, these side effects resolve on their own within 7 days.
The most serious ones were:
- sensory disturbance;
- the appearance of fibrous cords;
- skin discoloration;
- compression of nerves;
- granulomas
In these situations, you should immediately seek medical help from the doctor who performed the injection.
Side effects
There are no specific adverse reactions after using Overage hyaluronic acid. The most common of them include:
- Formation of small bruises and bruises at the injection site.
- If multiple injections of the drug were performed (during the procedure of biorevitalization or mesotherapy), then papules may appear, which will go away on their own over time.
- If a specialist does not have special skills, he may incorrectly distribute the gel under the skin, and as a result, areas of asymmetry will arise. If an excessive amount of gel has been introduced, it is removed using hyaluronidase, and if there is not enough gel, then the required amount is added.
- Tissue swelling is the most common side effect, as it is almost impossible to avoid. To make the swelling go away faster, you need to apply a cold compress to the injection area.

Doctors' opinion
A cosmetologist who uses fillers and biorevitalizant Overage in his work is very pleased with the results of his patients.
Another cosmetologist also writes that he and his patients are satisfied with the results from Overage. But he also found one drawback - these are inconvenient syringes.
And this cosmetologist notes the effectiveness of the injection against shallow wrinkles and the area around the eyes. But he considers it useless for lip augmentation.
Patient reviews
According to a resident of Krasnodar, who corrected nasolabial folds with Overage, the drug gives good results. But it has one significant disadvantage - cost.
A woman from St. Petersburg moisturized her skin with Overage Meso. She saw a certain result after the procedure, but in her opinion it was not good enough for such a price position.
Another client of a cosmetologist from Ukraine tried to get rid of age-related changes. In her opinion, the quality of fillers is at a high level. But the cost of the procedure is too high.
