Despite all the events taking place in the world (pandemic, quarantine, border closings, etc.), women will never stop striving to be beautiful. Fortunately, technology in the beauty industry has reached such a level that it does not require a lot of effort.
One of the most popular procedures is biorevitalization - the introduction of hyaluronic acid under the skin. She successfully combats such age-related problems as loss of elasticity, epidermis smoothness, and the appearance of wrinkles. The procedure has practically no contraindications, is almost painless and is popular all over the world.

In order to understand the essence of the technique, no special knowledge is required. The dermis restoration technique is based on natural processes taking place inside the epidermis. In the deep layers, division and creation of new cells occurs with the participation of two elements - collagen and elastin. In order for the cells to regenerate efficiently, this process involves hyaluronic acid, which is located in the intercellular space.
The older a person gets, the less acid is produced in the body. Because of this, the first signs of dermis wilting begin to appear - dryness, loss of elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid, injected under the dermis, activates the factors of longevity, strengthens cellular defense mechanisms and improves the appearance of the epidermis. In this article, we will consider the main types of cosmetics for biorevitalization, find out what to look for in order not to make mistakes when choosing, and make a rating of quality products, according to buyers.
Before signing up for this procedure, you need to find out if you need it, and if you have any contraindications. Cases when biorevitalization is indicated:
Since technologies, including cosmetic ones, do not stand still, there are more and more ways to inject hyaluronic acid under the skin. Today, two of the most popular of them are used: injection and with the use of a special apparatus.
Most often, in beauty salons, the first procedure is carried out - using a syringe with a needle, a liquid is injected into the deep layers of the dermis.This process is characterized by pain and the appearance of small wounds at the injection sites, which pass on their own after a few days.
The second technique involves the use of laser equipment, in this case, with the help of radiation, the composition is introduced into the epidermis, while the painful sensations are minimal or completely absent. There are practically no contraindications for this technique, since the integrity of the skin is not disturbed. Since this method is gentle, it can be recommended for impressionable women, as well as for those who have contraindications to the introduction of the substance in a traditional way. The only drawback of the technology is that the method cannot provide a long-term effect, since it is impossible to introduce a sufficient amount of the composition at a time.
Cosmetologists recommend thinking about restoring and maintaining the balance of the epidermis after 25 years. However, this threshold is not rigid, since many women at this age do not yet show signs of wilting on their face and décolleté. However, after 35 years, almost all the fair sex is recommended to visit a beautician for biorevitalization two to four times a year.
It is worth noting that the visible result from the introduction of hyaluronic acid appears no earlier than 14 days, which is why many women believe that this anti-aging procedure is ineffective.
According to most cosmetologists, biorevitalization is harmless, brings only benefits and passes without consequences for the body. It is important to remember that this statement is true only if all manipulations are carried out by an experienced cosmetologist in a specially equipped room and using disinfected instruments.
Possible complications with the introduction of hyaluronic acid: the appearance of edema; paleness or redness of certain areas of the skin, manifestation of allergic reactions (swelling, painful sensations), the occurrence of hematomas and seals at the puncture site.
Like other medical manipulations, the introduction of hyaluronic acid has a list of contraindications: pregnancy, critical days, infectious diseases in the acute stage, diabetes mellitus, damage to the epidermis in the area on which the exposure is performed. In most cases, contraindications are temporary, and after their cause has been eliminated, manipulations can be performed.
Before starting, the beautician thoroughly treats the skin with antiseptic agents. This is done to prevent infection from entering along with injections. To ensure that the patient does not experience discomfort, local anesthesia is performed.
After that, the cosmetologist marks out the places where the substance will be injected. He starts injecting from the lower edge of the jaw, moving on. The distances between the points must be at an equal distance. After the manipulations, a soothing tonic and sunscreen are applied to the face.
The main advantage of the procedure is the restoration of the properties of the dermis, due to which wrinkles are smoothed, the elasticity and firmness of the epidermis increases, circles under the eyes disappear, age spots and other minor defects on the face disappear.
Among the shortcomings, one can single out the need for constant repetition of injections, since the duration of the effect does not exceed several months, as well as the rehabilitation period, in which one must try to avoid the harmful effects of cold, wind, and sunlight on the skin. Sometimes, when an inexperienced specialist performs injections, balls and seals may remain, which take a long time to come off.

The review is continued by another representative of American care products with a biorevitalization function - Mesoxanthin. The American company ABG Lab has long been known to cosmetologists for another of its products - Mesovarton.

Choosing which company is better to buy biorevitalization products, it is worth focusing not only on advertising slogans and the cost of goods, but also the opinion of a professional cosmetologist who works with this or that substance, and knows all its advantages and disadvantages, side effects.
Considering that such products belong to professional cosmetics, it is not easy to find them on the free market, and most often you have to choose from what is available in the beauty salon.
When signing up for the procedure, you should remember that no matter how safe such drugs are, they all have a number of contraindications and can cause irreparable harm to health.
