Biorevitalisers
What are Biorevitalisers?
Biorevitalisers are injectable skin treatments that go beyond basic hydration to deeply nourish and regenerate skin at a cellular level. They deliver active ingredients (e.g., non-crosslinked HA, amino acids, polynucleotides, peptides, or vitamins) directly into the dermis to stimulate fibroblasts, boost collagen/elastin production, improve hydration, and enhance skin repair. Unlike traditional fillers (which add volume) or basic skin boosters (which focus mainly on hydration), biorevitalisers emphasize long-term skin health, detoxification, and anti-aging from within.
Common Examples of ProductsPopular biorevitaliser brands and formulations include:
- Jalupro — HA + amino acids (e.g., glycine, proline, lysine) for collagen stimulation and biorevitalization; great for fine lines and elasticity.
- Nucleofill — Polynucleotide-based (from salmon DNA fragments) for deep regeneration, antioxidant protection, and oxygenation; excellent for firmness and texture.
- Profhilo (often grouped in this category for its bio-remodeling effects) — High-concentration stabilized HA for hydration and tissue remodeling.
- Sunekos (200/1200) — HA + patented amino acid complex for ECM regeneration.
- Other examples — NCTF 135 HA (Filorga: HA + vitamins/polyrevitalizing complex), Plinest/Pluryal (polynucleotide-focused), or custom blends with PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide).
Benefits
- Deeply improves skin firmness, elasticity, and overall quality.
- Reduces fine lines, improves texture, tone, and radiance for a healthy glow.
- Enhances hydration and supports natural collagen/elastin production.
- Aids skin repair, detoxification, and resilience against environmental damage.
- Provides gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation—ideal for preventive or mild-moderate aging.
- Long-term skin health benefits (results build over weeks and last months with maintenance).
What to Expect
- Consultation to assess skin type, concerns, and select the right product/protocol.
- Procedure: Multiple micro-injections (often via needle or cannula) across the face/neck; 20–45 minutes. Numbing cream for comfort.
- Protocol: Typically 2–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart; maintenance every 4–6 months.
- Mild discomfort during injection; immediate subtle plumpness/hydration.
- Full results develop gradually over 2–8 weeks as regeneration occurs.
- Minimal downtime—redness/swelling usually resolves in 24–48 hours.
Potential Side Effects & RisksCommon (temporary): Mild redness, small bumps/swelling, tenderness, bruising, or pinpoint bleeding at injection sites (resolves in days). Rare: Prolonged irritation, asymmetry, infection, or allergic reaction (uncommon with biocompatible ingredients). Serious complications very rare with proper technique.
Aftercare
- For 24–48 hours: Avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas/hot showers, direct sun, and massaging treated areas.
- No lying flat or pressure on face for 4–6 hours post-treatment.
- Use cool compresses for comfort; apply gentle moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (mineral preferred) daily.
- Stay hydrated; avoid harsh actives (e.g., retinol, acids) for 48 hours or as advised.
- Gentle skincare routine to support healing.
Important Notes
- Best for overall skin quality improvement, not deep volume addition (combine with fillers or Profhilo Structura if needed).
- Safe for most skin types; often combined with LED light, polynucleotides, or Verdilab facials for enhanced glow/regeneration.
- Not suitable if pregnant/breastfeeding, active infections, certain allergies, or hypersensitivity—full medical history required.
- Choose reputable brands from qualified practitioners for safety and efficacy.
