This is one of the effective methods for eliminating crow's feet and sagging skin.

The skin around the eyes is very thin and lacks subcutaneous fat. The thickness of the dermis in this area is only a third of the thickness of the rest of the facial skin. Therefore, biorevitalization around the eyes remains one of the most popular procedures for moisturizing and maintaining skin turgor.

Biorevitalization under the eyes is carried out with drugs based on hyaluronic acid by pinpoint subcutaneous injections. Before the procedure, anesthetic cream is applied to the skin around the eyes. The procedure itself after exposure to the anesthetic takes a very short time, but gives a lasting effect.

When planning care procedures, you should keep in mind that biorevitalization of the skin around the eyes is not a procedure with which you can go on a date straight away: micropapules will certainly remain on thin skin after injections, which can resolve in up to two days. However, usually the papules disappear the next morning. Tiny dots at the injection sites may still remain, but they are perfectly masked with concealer.

Description of the procedure

Withering of the facial skin is associated with the daily impact of adverse environmental factors on the hypersensitive and thin epidermis of the periorbital zone, as well as with individual characteristics and active aging processes.

Biorevitalization of the skin around the eyes takes place without surgical intervention, which is especially important for those who are afraid of operations.

Biorevitalizants are often based on hyaluronic acid, thanks to which it is possible to correct the skin, as well as prevent the appearance of defects.

The effectiveness of use is due to the ability of the substance to act as a magnet for water molecules, the deficiency of which leads to thinning and sagging of the dermis.

Along with the normalization of hydrobalance, the body stimulates the production of collagen fibers and elastin. As a result, the natural turgor and elasticity of the integument are restored.

The procedure allows you to eliminate many age-related problems, smooth out facial wrinkles and remove bags under the eyes (they are encountered with chronic lack of sleep or with a hereditary predisposition). It also helps even out skin color due to pigmentation.

How does biorevitalization work?

In order for the skin to remain young and be able to resist the aging process, it is necessary that it be hydrated, i.e. have the necessary supply of fluid.
In the human body, the ability of tissues to retain water molecules is determined by the content of hyaluronic acid in them. It is capable of attracting and holding water in a volume exceeding its own weight. If skin cells are sufficiently hydrated, they can renew themselves in a timely manner and adequately withstand the adverse effects of the environment. If the amount of hyaluronic acid is not enough, the skin becomes flabby, dull, and fine wrinkles appear on it.

Biorevitalization not only replenishes the deficiency of hyaluronic acid through injection of the drug, but also stimulates its production by the body itself, thereby strengthening the skin’s protective mechanisms by replenishing its own resources.

Indications and contraindications

The procedure is indicated if the following problems exist:

• dark circles under the eyes;
• swelling of the eyelids;
• excessive dryness of the skin and a feeling of tightness;
• pronounced nasolacrimal groove;

Popular drugs

The range of biorevitalizants is quite wide, which allows you to choose a product not only in relation to the task at hand, but also select it according to the most suitable price category.

Most of them contain only hyaluronic acid as an active substance, while others are supplemented with vitamins, amino acids, coenzymes or peptides.

The density of the products also varies; the level is achieved due to the concentration of the main component or cross-linking of molecules. The choice of filler for correction is chosen exclusively by a qualified specialist, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.

1. Ial-System . It is considered the “gold standard” among drugs. Contains hyaluronic acid, almost identical to biological human one, which avoids allergic reactions and makes the product safe and versatile. The line includes the Ial System ACP, which has a higher density. Often used to enhance the effect or as an independent remedy.
2. Repleri . A Russian-made product, which includes stabilized two-phase hyaluronate. It has good plasticity and hypoallergenic properties. The results from the filler last for quite a long time - up to 10 months.
3. Viscoderm . Produced in Italy. The collection is presented in several preparations with different concentrations of the active substance - 0.8%, 1.8%, 2%. Dense ones are indicated for correcting pronounced defects in a higher age category. It is also possible to choose the same product in different dosages, which allows you to carry out the procedure economically.
4. Princess Rich . In addition to hyaluron, glycerin is added to the composition, due to which the viscosity indicators and the shelf life of the result increase. The main substance is produced using patented SMART technology. Designed for use after 30 years. The product is released by Croma (Austria).
5. Yalupro . Injections with the drug are indicated from the age of 35 years. The active substance is presented in a concentration of 1%. Also contains leucine, lysine, glycine. These components promote the production of additional fibroblasts, which increases the level of biological collagen and eliminates fine wrinkles.
6. Rack . A French drug based on hyaluronic acid, the uniqueness of which is its 3D structure. The technology for producing the active substance allows us to achieve the effect of elasticity and naturalness of the result. The composition is supplemented with mannitol and sorbitol. The use of this hyaluronic gel is permissible in combination with botulinum toxin-based products, as well as chemical peeling.
7. Meso-Wharton P199 . A highly effective drug produced in the USA. The composition, in addition to native hyaluronate, includes antioxidants, coenzymes, vitamins and polypeptides. The latter promote active division of stem cells.
8. Teosyal Pure Sense Redensity . Hyaluronic acid in an unstabilized state is supplemented with vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids. Lidocaine ensures a comfortable procedure. The gel helps normalize metabolism at the cellular level and increase the immunity of the epidermis.
9. Hyalrepair . The line of drugs includes several modifications, which are based on hyaluronic acid in concentrations of 2 and 14 mg/ml. It is an unstabilized substance with attached molecules of vitamins (including B6) and amino acids. Injections allow you to deeply moisturize and nourish the skin. Recommended for invasion from the age of 50 years.
10. Juvederm Hydrate . Suitable for various skin types. Used to normalize water balance and restore natural elasticity.

Causes of puffiness around the eyes

All causes of moisture retention in the eye area are divided into two segments:

• external;
• internal.

Among the external causes that provoke side effects after biorevitalization are:

• insufficient professionalism of the cosmetologist;
• facial cleansing was not carried out before biorevitalization;
• non-compliance with recommendations after the procedure;
• ignoring contraindications for manipulation;
• increased dosages of the drug used;
• improper administration of hyaluronic acid;
• ignoring hand sanitization before manipulation;
• uneven distribution of the substance under the skin;
• injection of a substance into the area around the eyes.

To correct errors, it is necessary to introduce a component that breaks down hyaluronic acid. These substances include hyaluronidase. If recommended doses are exceeded, swelling is observed for about 2 weeks.

Internal factors provoking swelling of the visual apparatus are:

• allergic manifestations;
• disturbances in kidney function;
• alcohol intoxication.

If there are obvious contraindications to the procedure, it is possible to carry out the manipulation in a gentle manner. To do this, the drug is administered using a long needle, when pulled out from the surface of the skin, a small amount of the component is released. The procedure is used to eliminate small wrinkles from the surface of the face.

The norm is the presence of swelling for 3 or 4 days after the procedure. If swelling persists for more than 1 week, you should consult a doctor.

Carrying out the procedure

Biorevitalization around the eyes is a cosmetic procedure that does not require special preparation.
However, there are a number of rules that should be followed to achieve the best results. Before the event it is prohibited:

• drink alcohol, smoke;
• actively engage in sports;
• take medications that help change blood counts (diclofenac, antibiotics, a number of vitamins, aspirin, etc.);
• sunbathing in a solarium/under natural conditions;
• carry out other cosmetic procedures that have an aggressive effect on the skin 14 days before the appointed date.

How it goes

The correction session itself is a series of injections with a drug that meets all criteria. The product is introduced under the skin in the area of ​​the lower/upper eyelid or in the area of ​​the outer corner of the eye. The amount of biorevitalizant is determined by a specialist based on the task at hand.

A syringe with Labelle needles is used as an invasion tool. Basically, its diameter ranges from 0.26 to 0.4 mm (selected depending on the density of the filler).

The second method of correcting defects involves the use of special devices that allow the procedure to be performed without damaging the dermis. For this use:

• laser (hyaluronate is introduced by exposure to a light beam with a temperature exceeding human temperature by 1 degree);
• oxygen device (additional enrichment of the intercellular matrix with oxygen occurs);
• iontophoresis (the result is achieved due to the accelerated movement of ions of the active substance of the drug).

This approach to biorevitalization ensures deep penetration of hyaluronic acid into the connective tissue, but requires more frequent sessions.

Stages

1. Removing traces of decorative cosmetics, thoroughly cleaning the skin.
2. Disinfection of the corrected area.
3. Application of an anesthetic when using a filler that does not contain lidocaine.
4. Injection of the drug into the subcutaneous space.
5. Final treatment of the integument with an antiseptic agent.
6. Applying anti-inflammatory cream.
7. Issuing recommendations.

The average procedure time does not exceed 50 minutes.

Course duration

The number of biorevitalization sessions of the upper and lower eyelids depends on the filler used, the criticality of the situation and the desired result. In most cases, at least 3 approaches are required at intervals of 1-2 weeks. The number of invasions can be increased to 7-8. Also, in some cases, maintenance therapy is prescribed to maintain the effect for a longer time.

Healing period

The recovery period after correction with hyaluronic preparations takes a short period of time.
If the procedure is carried out correctly and the filler is correctly selected, you can return to your usual lifestyle after a maximum of a week. In the first days, swelling and redness occur. There is no need to treat these symptoms with additional therapy - the discomfort goes away on its own within a few days.

If side effects persist for longer than 7 days, you should immediately seek advice from a leading specialist.

To speed up the healing process, you must follow certain recommendations.

1. It is prohibited to physically impact the corrected area around the eyes with your hands or any other surfaces (towel, bed linen, clothing).
2. You should not wash your face for the first 2-3 days. To cleanse the skin, it is permissible to use light cosmetics. Also included in the taboo are decorative cosmetics (not covered in the case of hardware revitalization) and various scrubs and masks.
3. It is prohibited to visit the gym, swimming pool, sauna, solarium, or stay outside the home for a long time in sub-zero temperatures.
4. You should not drink alcohol or eat foods high in salts for at least one week.
5. It is allowed to use creams if bruising or severe swelling occurs. Suitable: Traumeel S, Heparin ointment or Troxevasin.

Features at different ages

The decision about when to see a cosmetologist for the first time is strictly individual. Some people, due to heredity or excessive exposure to aggressive environmental factors, can resort to the procedure earlier.

In this matter, one should also take into account the period in which the aging process begins. Activation of age-related changes occurs from the age of 25. As a result, the level of hyaluronic acid in the intercellular matrix decreases, and, as a result, the skin becomes noticeably thinner.

Early biorevitalization allows you to delay the appearance of wrinkles and other defects. In this case, the smallest number of invasion sessions is necessary to achieve results.

For the older generation, more than 4 procedures or the use of dense dermal fillers are required.

Fat fiber

As already mentioned, the skin in this area does not have its own subcutaneous fat, and therefore is not protected by this shock absorber from mechanical load. But under the skin there is periorbital fatty tissue. Like any other adipose tissue, it is prone to swelling. Bounded along the posterior and lateral surfaces by bone structures, it protrudes forward during swelling, so even slight swelling in the periorbital region immediately appears. If the fascia that holds the periorbital tissue weakens, then hernias form. During swelling, the periorbital fatty tissue compresses the lymphatic vessels, further aggravating the situation. Therefore, swelling in the periorbital region is characterized by severity and persistence. Regular swelling and protrusion lead to stretching of the skin in this area.

Where do they make it and how much does it cost?

Biorevitalization of the eyelids is an expensive procedure.

The price depends on many factors:

• scale of the impact zone (correction of only one eyelid will be much cheaper than circular biorevitalization);
• filler used;
• consumable additional products (antiseptic, anesthetic);
• prestige of the center;
• specialist qualification level.

The average cost of a single session is from 5,000 rubles. In megacities, the amount can increase by an order of magnitude.

You can apply for the service at aesthetic medicine clinics or beauty salons.

Precautionary measures

Complications after biorevitalization of the eyelids are extremely rare.
To avoid them, you must be careful. It is recommended to approach the choice of a medical center responsibly. To do this, you should use online forums, where many share their experience of transformation and evaluate specialists.

If you wish, you can ask the cosmetologist for a document confirming completion of special education in order to be more confident that the invasion will be carried out correctly.

All instruments must be kept in sterile conditions. It is also prohibited to use pre-opened fillers. Before the procedure, it is important to check the expiration date of the drug.

Possible side effects:

• soreness of the skin;
• redness;
• inflammatory processes (itching, burning);
• swelling;
• suppuration at the sites of puncture of the dermis (associated with insufficient hygiene during the rehabilitation period or low sterility of the instruments used for invasion);
• bruises (may appear during injections during menopause, menstruation, or when taking anticoagulants);
• granulomas;
• papules that persist for a long time;
• embolism (occurs when a needle enters a blood vessel, accompanied by a change in the color of the skin to gray);
• soft tissue necrosis;
• fibrosis;
• keloid scars;
• Tyndall effect (appears as pink/blue stripes).

Undesirable consequences after biorevitalization can be minimized by introducing hyaluronidase into the intercellular matrix, which promotes the breakdown of biogel into low molecular weight enzymes.

Comparison with other anti-aging procedures

In cosmetology, there are several procedures whose purpose is to eliminate the symptoms of aging. Often, invasion with hyaluronic gels is compared with peelings, plasma lifting, botulinum and mesotherapy.

Botulinum therapy

The main focus of the procedure is the elimination of facial wrinkles. The result is achieved through the introduction of Botox into the subcutaneous space, which promotes muscle relaxation.

Unlike biorevitalization, botulinum therapy does not cope with the problem of dry skin and photoaging. Combining both sessions is not recommended. It is better to administer Botox after a course of revitalization.

The procedure is also characterized by the appearance of swelling; it is caused by impaired drainage of soft tissues. This phenomenon is accompanied by insufficient outflow of lymph and blood from the corrected area.

Peelings

Biorevitalization and peeling are closely related to each other.

In most cases, injections with hyaluron are indicated either “before” or “after” a rough cosmetic effect on the surface layer of the dermis.

Biorevitalization allows you to prepare your facial skin for the upcoming session (this can be dermabrasion, resurfacing or peeling with glycolic acid) and speed up the recovery process. When composing procedures, it is necessary to maintain a certain period between them, equal to at least 10 days.

Mesotherapy

The difference in the procedures lies in the fundamentally different composition of the drugs. In the case of biorevitalization, gels are used either entirely consisting of hyaluron, or supplemented with only a few components (peptides, amino acids, vitamins).

Cocktails for mesotherapy contain:

• acids (retinoic, alpha-lipoic, glycolic, hyaluronic);
• vitamin complexes;
• aminophylline;
• collagenase;
• minoxidil;
• amino acids;
• biotin;
• finasteride;
• novocaine;
• D-panthenol;
• el-carnitine, etc.

Plasmolifting

The procedure completely eliminates the body’s rejection of the applied material. To achieve the goal, the client's biological plasma is used.

As a result, noticeable rejuvenation occurs and the ability of cells to regenerate improves.

Opinion of cosmetologists

Experts point to the effectiveness of injections with biorevitalizants in the periorbital zone, thanks to which it becomes possible to solve a number of aesthetic problems, as well as give the dermis a healthy appearance and natural radiance.

The cosmetologist notes the seriousness of the procedure and the need to undergo a full examination during the preparation period, and also talks about the indications for the procedure:

Useful video

Biorevitalization allows you to reduce fine wrinkles and even out the facial contour. However, as a result of the technique, side effects are possible that provoke pathologies or non-compliance with the rules of preparation for the procedure. Limiting the liquid you drink the day before the procedure and studying contraindications to its implementation will help reduce the likelihood of developing negative manifestations after the rejuvenation technique.
