Nodoes not create puffiness, does not change the volumes of the face: also called bioliftingthe biorevitalization of the face It is an aesthetic medicine technique which consists of skin injections of “cocktails” of anti-aging active ingredients, usually hyaluronic acid associated with antioxidant and stimulating molecules. Active ingredients that the specialist selects and doses according to the skin’s needs. “It’s a great alternative to plastic surgerycompletely risk-free and without side effects,” explains Mario Longoaesthetic surgeon medical director Studio San Damiano Milan.
What is biorevitalization of the face
«The micro-injections of active substances used do not create volume or thickness, and perform a dual action. First of all, superficially smooth and improve the texture of the skin texture. DeepInstead, promote cell turnover because they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin by contrasting tissue relaxation», explains Mario Longo.
The differences with fillers
«Unlike the traditional fillers, which perform above all a filler function useful for restoring the volumes of the face, biorevitalization of the face stimulates hydrationand serves to give the skin a younger and smoother appearance ».
For whom and when
«Biorevitalization is a real skin care. It can be done from the age of twenty as a preventive technique anti-age that increases brightness. After the age of 30, on the other hand, the general appearance of the skin improvesmakes forehead, periocular and nasolabial wrinkles less evident, reduces spots and contrasts skin sagging».
It can be performed anytime of the year, though spring turns out to be the best period, to support the skin’s defenses in view of the summer. “It helps the skin to strengthen its defenses against UV rays, which are more intense at this time of year and are responsible for premature skin ageing”.
Hyaluronic acid is the main ingredient
The main element of the injected solution it is always the moisturizing active ingredient par excellence: hyaluronic acid. «It is an element naturally present in the skin, equipped with a vast field of action: it retains hydration, increases the formation of collagen and elastin and for this reason it helps to make the skin soft and supple», explains the aesthetic surgeon Mario Longo.
As we age, the body’s ability to produce this substance decreasesnegatively influencing the condition of the skin, which progressively becomes dry, lacking in tone and opaque. A condition that paves the way for the appearance of the first signs of aging, such as sagging, marks and wrinkles. Injecting hyaluronic acid into the dermis therefore helps to keep these degenerative phenomena under control.
«Unlike the one used for i filler fillers, with a texture designed to stay where it is deposited, hyaluronic acid used for biorevitalization of the face it is not cross-linked. It means that the molecules are free and not joined together, and this feature helps it spread homogeneously in the skin texture, helping the skin to keep the levels of hydration constant, a useful condition for preserving the elasticity, flexibility, softness and luminosity of the complexion”.
Injected cocktails are always personalized
The solution that the aesthetic doctor injects subcutaneously is not made up only of hyaluronic acidbut also from other ingredients such as, for example, antioxidant vitamin cocktails (especially vitamins A, B3, B5 B6, B12, C, E) or restructuring and softening amino acids (such as arginine and glutamic acid) or, again, free radical scavengers (especially arginine, lysine and serine).
“These substances are selected and dosed by the specialist according to skin needs. It should be emphasized that when it comes to biorevitalization of the face there is no single “recipe” valid for all types of complexionbut the inoculated solutions are always customized by the specialist, who identifies from time to time the most suitable combinations of active ingredients», specifies the aesthetic surgeon Mario Longo.
The right face biorevitalization for every skin
Let’s find out with the expert some combinations of active ingredients suggested for the main types of skin.
For normal skin, biorevitalization of the face proves to be a formidable prevention tool. «To improve the general condition of the skin, which becomes brighter and smoother, in these cases thehyaluronic acid is associated with a mix of vitamins».
For dry skin, particularly prone to premature aging, substances that act more intensively are added to hyaluronic acid. “In these cases, immediately after micro-injections of hyaluronic acid associated with vitamins, a peeling based on trichloroacetic acid is also performed, active ingredient that intervenes on the synthesis of collagen and provides nourishment», specifies the aesthetic surgeon.
For oily skin, biorevitalization of the face aims to restore balance. «The injected solution matches thehyaluronic acid to protective amino acids such as asparaginefor example”.
For mature skin the cocktail of inoculated agents focuses on protection. “L’concentrated hyaluronic acid is combined with amino acids and a complex of free radical scavengers which give a restructuring boost, useful for reducing evident wrinkles and improving the condition of relaxed skin».
Each face biorevitalization session lasts about half an hour, and immediately after the treatment the skin is brighter, toned, taut and rejuvenated. «Cycles of 4 weekly meetings are recommended, to be repeated 2 or 3 times a year according to the specific needs of the complexion», specifies the aesthetic surgeon Mario Longo. «There are no contraindications and, in case of doubts, it is always advisable to ask to take a test, to verify that there are no allergies or hypersensitivity to the active ingredients used ».
