The biorevitalization procedure is an injection of hyaluronic acid, which is necessary for the skin to produce elastin and collagen. The dose of the product is as close as possible to the natural one, which allows the substance to be absorbed in a short time and begin to act. However, to achieve results after the procedure, you must strictly adhere to the specialist’s recommendations. Otherwise, side effects may occur.
- Extensive bruises
What not to do after the procedure
Every patient should know that after biorevitalization it is necessary to adhere to certain restrictions.
Compliance with all recommendations will help achieve maximum effect and eliminate possible complications.
Exercise
Physical exercise increases body temperature, which is undesirable during this period, and also contributes to the appearance of sweat, which can cause inflammation of the punctures.
Sports activities should be excluded for at least 3-4 days.
Visit the bathhouse and sauna
Temperature changes, as well as high humidity, negatively affect the condition of punctures. These factors can trigger the occurrence of rosacea or inflammation at the injection site.
After the wounds have completely healed, you are allowed to go to the bathhouse or sauna.
Use cream or cosmetics
In the first days, it is forbidden to use the usual care and decorative cosmetics. You cannot use the cream after biorevitalization in the first 2-5 days, depending on the recommendations of specialists. For the first 2 weeks, it is forbidden to use foundation and powder (even mineral powder), as they will clog the pores and the recovery process will be delayed. After some time, you are allowed to paint your eyes and lips, but only if the area around the eyes and lips has not been treated.
After 2-3 days, it is allowed to use alginate masks or collagen fabric masks. They help remove excess fluid. After 2-3 weeks, the cosmetologist may prescribe a superficial or medium peeling, which will help the skin renew itself.
Face massage
Facial massage will not help the fillers to distribute more evenly and speed up tissue restoration, but will only move the gel or promote infection.
Therefore, it is strictly prohibited to do it until complete regeneration.
Smoking and drinking alcohol
Smoking promotes displacement of the gel that was injected into the lip area. Alcoholic drinks dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow, which can also dislodge the filler. Even a small dose of alcohol causes swelling, which negatively affects the condition of the skin.
The minimum period for giving up alcohol and cigarettes is 4-5 days after biorevitalization, but 2-3 weeks are better until the effect appears.
Take antibiotics and other medications
Most often, the result of biorevitalization is affected by aspirin and other medications to reduce blood clotting. They do not interact with hyaluronic acid, but contribute to the occurrence of hematomas and subcutaneous bruises. Therefore it is recommended:
- Stop taking aspirin 2-3 days before and after the procedure. If pain occurs, it can be replaced with Tempalgin, Mig, Diclofenac.
- If the patient takes medications to reduce blood clotting as prescribed by a doctor due to the presence of heart and vascular diseases, then they cannot be discontinued on their own. In this case, there is a high risk of blood clots. Therefore, it is recommended to cure the underlying disease and then plan biorevitalization.
Antibacterial drugs do not affect hyaluronic acid and the effect of the procedure. But cosmetologists recommend taking into account the following factors:
- Taking antibiotics is indicated in the presence of an inflammatory process, which is a contraindication to biorevitalization. If this is not taken into account, the risk of complications increases.
- If indications for antibiotics arose after the administration of hyaluronic acid, then they can be taken 2-4 days after biorevitalization.
Contraindications for facial biorevitalization
Biorevitalization is considered a cosmetic rejuvenation procedure that is safe for health. However, in some cases, doctors recommend abstaining from it to avoid side effects. So, relative contraindications are:
- any diseases accompanied by fever;
- infectious and inflammatory processes on the face, for example, demodicosis, which are important to first cure before the procedure;
- neoplasms, including moles and birthmarks.
Professional cosmetologists know that performing biorevitalization, including non-invasive, through tumors can be fraught with harm to the patient’s health, but next to them, if the formation is not malignant, it is allowed.
Absolute contraindications:
- autoimmune diseases;
- oncology;
- intolerance to hyaluronic acid;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- keloid scars;
- epilepsy.
What not to do at different times after the procedure
Depending on the timing of biorevitalization, there are a number of restrictions that must be taken into account to achieve the effect. Violation of these rules leads to the formation of side effects and complications.
In the first 24 hours after biorevitalization you cannot:
- touch the treated area of skin;
- squeeze the skin or massage;
- apply warm compresses if there is a slight bruise in the subcutaneous layer;
- apply makeup and skincare products (any cream or lotion).
For the first 2 days it is prohibited:
- apply any cosmetics;
- take medications that speed up blood flow and increase blood pressure;
- drink alcohol and smoke.
During the week it is not recommended:
- visit a bathhouse or sauna, swim or wash with hot water;
- exercise (running, pulling up, lifting weights and other intense activities);
- expose your face to sunlight, low temperatures and strong winds;
- perform cosmetic manipulations aimed at reducing wrinkles.
Until the end of the course it is prohibited:
- Do full face makeup.
- Squeeze or cauterize injection papules.
- Perform scrubbing or peeling. Such care will harm the skin and cause severe peeling.
- Massage and touch your face frequently.
COMPLEX PROGRAMS
Biorevitalization procedures are used in programs for the prevention and treatment of skin aging. In complex anti-age programs, biorevitalization is actively combined with radio wave lifting, fractional photothermolysis, and peelings of varying depths. Indications • Genetic and photoaging of the skin, which results in thickening of the stratum corneum (roughness and dullness of the skin) and changes in the structure of the elastic fibers of the skin.
• Stressed skin and smoker's skin.
• Preparation for peelings (medium, medium-deep), laser resurfacing, plastic surgery and rehabilitation after them.
• Mesopil courses (combination of biorevitalization with superficial peelings). • The need for volumetric restoration of dermal tissue in case of scar changes resulting from superficial skin injuries.
• Working with local problems (eyelids, neck, décolleté, perioral area, lips, hands, earlobes).
Skin care
In order for the face to recover as quickly as possible after biorevitalization and the effect to last for a long time, it is necessary to properly care for the skin during the recovery period:
- For the first 2-3 days, do not wash your face, but only wipe your face with an antiseptic solution in the morning and evening. This can be an alcohol solution of salicylic acid, hydrogen peroxide 3%, Furacilin, chlorhexidine.
- After 3 days, wash with warm boiled water and neutral gel or foam. After the procedure, there is no need to rub the skin, just gently blot it with a towel.
- Drink more clean water, which will provide the necessary hydration to the skin and enhance the effect of hyaluronic acid.
- If swelling occurs, apply ice.
- After 1-2 weeks, use water-based healing gels that moisturize the epidermis and promote its restoration.
- If a specialist allows you to sunbathe, then use sunscreen with high SPF.
Opinion of cosmetologists
Several additional recommendations from cosmetologists for rehabilitation:
- Taking into account the fact that biorevitalization normalizes hydrobalance, it is recommended to drink the amount of water per day - approximately 2.5 liters.
- Under no circumstances should you exert pressure on the tubercles in order to even out the relief. With proper care they will disappear on their own.
- Antibiotics and coagulants should not be used.
- At night it is best to sleep only on your back. It is advisable to change your pillowcase to a clean one every day. It should first be ironed with a hot iron to eliminate bacteria.
How cosmetologists feel about the biorevitalization procedure and the rehabilitation period after it can be judged by discussions on various Internet forums.
In this commentary, the specialist focuses on lifestyle and the result that depends on it:
Another cosmetologist’s opinion regarding restrictions on the recovery period and the effectiveness of the procedure:
Possible side effects
Like any procedure, biorevitalization can cause undesirable consequences. Most often they occur when the drug is administered incorrectly or restrictions are violated.
On average, recovery after biorevitalization takes 3-10 days. Swelling in the eyes and cheeks goes away in 2-3 days, on the lips - 7-8 days, and hematomas - up to 12-14 days.
Extensive bruises
Bruising occurs in people prone to rosacea or when taking anticoagulants. Weak blood vessels are destroyed due to mechanical damage, which causes profuse hemorrhage into the tissue. This does not pose a threat to human life, but it does bring psychological discomfort. After 1-2 weeks, the bruises disappear on their own. But for faster resorption, it is recommended to treat them with special ointments (Troxevasin, Traumeel, Heparin). They thin the blood and improve its microcirculation.
Ointments can be used starting from the 2nd day after the procedure, 2-3 times a day, applying with light movements, without massaging.
It is also recommended to make a mask from badyagi:
- Dilute the powder with vegetable oil.
- Apply the composition to problem areas and keep it on for as long as possible.
- The mixture can be used as a compress at night.
It is more convenient to use pharmaceutical cream or gel with badyagi.
Swelling
Swelling of the areas where hyaluronic acid was injected is a normal reaction of the body to mechanical damage to the skin. Most often this is the area of the eyelids, lips and nasolabial folds. Especially if biorevitalization affected large areas of the skin.
To reduce swelling, it is recommended to apply cold chamomile decoction to problem areas. You can take diuretics once a day for 2 days.
It is recommended to sleep on your back, placing several pillows so that your head is as high as possible.
If within 3 days the swelling does not decrease or increases, then you need to contact the specialist who performed the procedure.
Circles, bags and swelling under the eyes deserve special attention. They are not allowed:
- mask with decorative cosmetics;
- cool with ice;
- massage, knead and touch them with your hands.
Uneven distribution of hyaluronic acid
If the cosmetologist made a mistake and injected a lot of hyaluronic acid into a certain part of the face, then bumps and unevenness may occur. This defect cannot be removed; it will not disappear on its own.
In this case, only removing the filler from the subcutaneous layer will help.
Properties of peptides
Peptides are organic substances that regulate the condition of cells. When introduced into the body, they force cells to work correctly. The effect of restoration of the affected organ or tissue occurs due to the normalization of work at the cellular level. And without any chemical or surgical intervention!
Aquashine preparations contain several peptides. Thus, Acetyl Decapeptide-3 activates the production of fibroblasts. Oligopeptide-24 improves skin regeneration, increases collagen production, improves tone, and reduces scars. Oligopeptide-34 stops the aging process, fills skin cells with energy, and reduces the appearance of pigmentation. Oligopeptide-72 prevents the formation of wrinkles and smoothes the skin. Oligopeptide-23 improves metabolism. Oligopeptide-51 shrinks pores and stimulates the formation of elastin.
