Injection preparations for biorevitalization and bioreparation procedures for the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, and hands Aquashine are produced by the world-famous South Korean company Caregen, which occupies a leading position in the field of research of biomemitic peptides.
A distinctive feature of Aquashine biorevitalizants is that they slow down the aging of the dermis at the cellular level. Aquashine preparations are essentially bioreparants, that is, in addition to high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, they contain a complex of rejuvenation components. They contain hyaluronic acid, as well as vitamins, amino acids, coenzymes, nucleic acids, minerals and biomimetic peptides, which are analogues of human peptides. Some of them suppress the processes of excessive melanin formation and reduce the number of hidden pigments, others reduce the activity of facial muscles and thereby smooth out facial wrinkles.
The products meet international quality standards and are certified in Russia.
Description of the drug
The drug Aquashine for mesotherapy affects the epidermis at the cellular level, as a result, the processes of producing melanin in excess amounts are inhibited, which is typical for age-related skin changes.
It also normalizes the water balance of the dermis, promotes the production of biological collagen and elastin, providing a lifting effect on the skin, noticeable after the first injection session.
Compared to most other biorevitalization products, Aquashine does not require mixing components; the package contains a ready-made syringe, which significantly reduces the risk of incorrect dosage.
What is biorevitalization Aquashine
This type of biorevitalization is carried out with Aquashine preparations, which means “shine of water” in translation. They supply cells with moisture, vitamins, increase blood circulation, increase the synthesis of elastin and collagen, and make the skin elastic and toned.
Aquashine is the gold standard of biorevitalization, combining safety with rejuvenating effects.
The preparations contain biometric peptides - analogues of substances produced by the body, which have ideal compatibility with body cells and are therefore completely absorbed.
Biopeptides regenerate tissues, regulate metabolism, and initiate recovery processes. Biorevitalization Aquashine supports proper skin function, slowing down aging and reducing wrinkles.
Composition and active ingredients
The basis of the biorevitalizant is hyaluronic acid at a concentration of 1.5%.
Thanks to it, water balance is established, the dermis is moisturized from the inside and antioxidant processes are launched. Aquashine also contains auxiliary substances, without which it would be impossible to achieve such a miraculous effect.
- Peptides, represented by 6 different units, each of which is characteristic of a specific type of drug. Among them are oligopeptides numbered 72, 34, 24 and 63, as well as acetyl hexapeptide-3 and hexapeptide-29.
- A number of amino acids that provoke protein synthesis (glycine, proline, lysine, etc.).
- Coenzymes and minerals that help build a barrier against external factors (sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium chloride, etc.).
- Vitamins of groups A and B, ascorbic acid.
Difference between BR and BTX
The composition of Aquashine BTX is the same as BR (bp), but it includes 2 additional oligopeptides, due to which the activity of the facial muscles is reduced. Therefore, facial wrinkles are smoothed out and new defects are prevented.
Aquashine Plus appeared on the market recently, contains increased concentrations of active ingredients and has a result that lasts longer.
Manufacturers
The manufacturer of the Aquashine line of cosmetic rejuvenation products is Caregen co LTD , located in South Korea.
The same company has been engaged in research activities in the field of biomimetic peptides since 2001 and has been collaborating with such well-known brands as L'Oreal and Revlon.
There is another name on the product packaging - Revofil, but this brand appeared a little earlier, so it has an individual line.
The Revofil Aquashine series includes: Soft, BR, BTX, HA and HA BR. There are also newer and more modern varieties of Aquashine marked “Plus”.
Review of drugs
It is worth noting that Filler Soft is a base for biorevitalization. Mostly the classic version is associated with it, but it also exists in other forms. This substance is used at the first manifestation of skin aging in the face, décolleté and neck. Also, by introducing filler, you can perform delicate facial plastic surgery, adding the desired volume to the cheekbones and lips.
In addition to the main components, the Soft filler includes some other components that have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the procedure:
- Oligopeptide – 24. Promotes the natural production of bio collagen in the required quantities, restoring the elasticity of the epidermis. Thanks to its use, the skin acquires a healthy glow.
- Acetyl hexapeptide -3. Responsible for the process of dermal cell division and promotes tissue regeneration.
Aquashine Series
The main Aquashine line is represented by several products that practically do not differ in composition. You could say they are analogues of each other. However, they are designed to achieve completely different results, so before purchasing any of them, you should familiarize yourself with a number of features.
Aquashine Classic contains 56 active components aimed at combating age-related changes.
The drug is recommended when the first noticeable wrinkles appear, but not earlier than 35 years. As a result of injections, the elasticity coefficient of the skin increases and nasolabial folds are smoothed out.
Suitable for skin with a low level of sensitivity and a dense structure.
Additional recommendations for use include:
- regular rashes;
- enlarged pores;
- visually noticeable age-related deformation of the lower part of the face;
- gray skin tone.
Aquashine BR (revofil aquashine br) . It differs from its brother in several additional peptide compounds in its composition, thanks to which, according to reviews from many clients, the product works wonders in removing age spots.
Moreover, the drug not only fights hyperpigmentation, but also prevents its return. The abbreviation “BR” itself stands for “brightening”, namely a procedure for lightening the dermis.
Injections with this serum are prescribed for people over 50 years of age with extremely dry and thin skin, as well as with a loose structure of the dermis and with regular appearance of rashes.
Recommended use for rosacea, as well as as preparation for subsequent effects on the skin such as thread lifting, cosmetic surgery or thermocoagulation. Thanks to a wide list of component composition, the drug helps normalize the adaptation period and healing.
Aquashine BTX (BTX) contains all the properties of the drugs described above, but the effect manifests itself progressively - it is maximally manifested two weeks after the last injection. The result feels comparable to the Botox injection procedure.
This biorevitalizant is recommended for accelerating the rehabilitation of surgical intervention, as well as for smoothing the relief of the face, with pronounced signs of post-acne, scar deformities, gravitational ptosis and for prolonging the effect of botulinum therapy.
Aquashine NA - hyaluronic acid with a concentration of 1.5% in the composition is represented by low-molecular and high-molecular fractions, using modern technologies it is stabilized to the state of a homogeneous gel, saturated with peptide compounds.
The use of the gel is indicated for prolonged hydration and the creation of water reserves in the cells of the epidermis. The effect itself is achieved by synthesizing the intercellular matrix, during which the subcutaneous tissue stroma is restored.
Aquashine HA BR has a weaker concentration of hyaluronic acid - 13 ml/mg. Promotes skin regeneration and increases resistance to external factors.
Aquashine Plus, Aquashine BR Plus and Aquashine BTX Plus are all the same biorevitalization products, only in an improved format. Products marked “Plus” are produced in the form of glass bottles with a volume of 2.5 ml.
A distinctive feature is the higher levels of hyaluronic acid, the percentage of which is increased by 2.5 times.
As an addition, the manufacturer includes a couple more peptide compounds and a more concentrated solution of amino acids in the component composition, which ensures prolongation of the rejuvenation effect.
Revofil Series
Revofil is one of the products of the Korean cosmetology concern, like Aquashine. The line is represented by 5 drugs, which differ in the speed of resorption. This series has a patent in 120 countries and is approved by the CTFA association.
Achieving a lifting effect is due to the ability of the constituent substances to reduce the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Hyaluron plays the role of a moisturizer, returning the skin to its former turgor.
How is the procedure done?
Biorevitalization using peptin cocktails can only be carried out by a qualified specialist who has experience working with fillers. At the preparation stage, it is necessary to exclude contraindications to the procedure and a day before injections to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages. What does the procedure look like step by step :
- The patient is placed on the couch.
- The skin at the site of exposure is numbed with an anesthetic and treated with an antiseptic solution.
- When the anesthetic takes effect, two biologically active points suitable for administering the drug are marked on the problem area.
- The doctor removes a syringe with filler from the package and inserts a 30-32G microneedle onto it.
- In the affected area, the drug is administered pointwise, with intervals of 0.8-1 cm between injections. Injections begin from the edge of the jaw, gradually moving to the entire area of the face.
- When the injections are completed, a soothing mask is applied to the skin, and then the areas are treated with anti-inflammatory substances.
- At the end of the procedure, the patient receives recommendations regarding further tactics and skin care.
During the day after the session, you should not wet the skin or apply cosmetics . You should avoid visiting bathhouses and saunas for a week, and avoid exposure to the sun for 14 days.
The drug is used not only for facial rejuvenation, but also to increase the elasticity of the décolleté and neck area.
Cost of the drug
The main resource for purchasing the Aquashine biorevitalizant is online stores. However, even here you may encounter a number of difficulties.
Often, to find out the exact cost of a drug, you need to register and consult with a specialist online. And only after all the events you will be able to familiarize yourself with the price list.
The average price for a package of the elixir of youth can fluctuate around 3,000 rubles; the drug brx, as a higher-level product, can be 1,000 more expensive.
To avoid counterfeiting, it is better to buy Aquashine from a representative of a Korean company in Russia - the Fiji Beauty Institute. In this case, you will receive not only an injection filler, but also a guarantee of product quality along with detailed instructions for use.
Do not confuse the drug with bottles of other companies, on which you can find the inscription “Aquashine”. In this case, the focus of the serum will be the same, but the composition will be radically different.
One of these products is Regenovue, produced by another Korean cosmetic concern - Neogenesis.
Indications for use
Aquashine is an ideal product for giving the skin a healthy glow; thanks to its action, it is possible to restore defects that have arisen after prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
With its help, preparatory measures are carried out for facial plastic surgery, resurfacing or peeling, and it is also used to reduce the rehabilitation period.
Preference for a certain type of filler is given only after consultation and examination by a cosmetologist, taking into account the indications. These include:
- decreased skin tone;
- depletion and dehydration of the epidermis;
- post-acne and atrophic scars;
- dark spots;
- gray tint of the skin;
- dynamic skin texture;
- rosacea;
- acne and enlarged pores;
- ptosis of the lower face;
- wrinkles (age and expression lines).
Carrying out the procedure
Before the procedure, it is worth conducting a comprehensive examination with a doctor and, if necessary, taking tests. This will allow the cosmetologist to identify possible contraindications to the Aquashine product in order to avoid complications after the course of therapy.
The number of injections is determined only after the preliminary stage, based on the criticality of the situation. When the biorevitalizant is released in a 2 ml form, one ampoule is only enough for one session.
Stages
- A cosmetologist cleanses the patient’s skin in a localized area using a disinfectant. Treatment with anesthetic cream.
- Demonstration of Aquashine packaging to the client with mandatory checking of the expiration date (before the injection, the patient must verify the integrity of the product and ensure that the drug is not mixed with anything).
- Installing a needle on a syringe.
- Papular administration of the product according to the planned scheme in the corrected area.
- Repeated treatment of the skin with an antiseptic.
- Consultation with a cosmetologist regarding precautions during the rehabilitation period.
The drug administration regimen also differs, which is determined by a specialist regarding anatomical characteristics.
There are several injection methods:
- papular;
- microinjection;
- cannula;
- linear;
- multipuncture.
A combination of different techniques is also possible. The interval between injections in any case does not exceed 1 cm.
Contraindications
For the entire line of Aquashine brand fillers, the contraindications are identical.
Sessions are not recommended for the following categories of people :
- patients under 16 years of age;
- pregnant women and nursing mothers;
- persons suffering from hypersensitivity reactions to filler components;
- patients with autoimmune diseases, diseases of the hematopoietic organs, and disorders of the blood coagulation system;
- patients suffering from acute infectious diseases, cancer and diabetes;
- clients who have recently undergone tattooing, contouring or Botox procedures.
Fillers should not be injected into skin areas with inflammation, psoriasis, eczema, or chronic dermatoses in the form of neurodermatitis. Biorevitalization can be a good alternative to plastic surgery. The line of drugs allows you to select the optimal peptin cocktail in accordance with the age and leading problem of the patient.
Other types of fillers have been developed, for example, Princess, Juvederm, Restylane, Filorga, Radiesse, as well as preparations from Israeli, French, Swiss manufacturers and for nasolabial folds.
Course duration
The result of biorevitalization appears after the first therapy, but still you should not dwell on it.
It is recommended from 3 to 6 sessions per course, the interval between them is 2 weeks.
To maintain the effect, it is best to carry out several preventive procedures after a year.
How long does the effect last?
The developers of the drug claim that one session of injections will not be enough to achieve tangible anti-aging results .
The main course of rejuvenation should include at least 3 procedures, after which the resulting effect can be assessed. The first assessment can be carried out immediately after the session - the skin becomes softer, hydrated and tightened. It will take 2 weeks or more to smooth out wrinkles and depigmentation.
The effect of Aquashine filler lasts from six months to a year. The results will be especially long-lasting if you carry out supporting sessions. Due to the cumulative effect, the effect of the drug can be extended for two years. It is recommended to carry out about three maintenance procedures within 12 months.

Expected effect
Considering that a woman spends considerable sums on injection cosmetology, she hopes to see a noticeable result. Unlike some drugs for biorevitalization, in this case it can be felt after the first session.
First noticeable signs:
- freshness of the skin;
- noticeable hydration of the dermis;
- significant narrowing of pores;
- disappearance of oily shine due to the normalization of the sebaceous gland system;
- visually noticeable lightening of age spots.
After several days (3 to 5), the following changes occur:
- the lifting effect is enhanced;
- the elasticity of the epidermis is restored;
- the contour of the face is aligned;
- the skin structure becomes denser.
The maximum effect becomes noticeable 21 days after completion of the course:
- reduction of rosacea;
- complete or partial smoothing of wrinkles;
- the activity of free radicals responsible for the aging process of the epidermis is suspended;
- blood circulation processes are normalized;
- skin color acquires a healthy shade.
Rehabilitation period
The client may experience discomfort in the first few days.
It is expressed in slight swelling, redness of the skin and itching. However, this is a completely natural reaction to mechanical influence from a cosmetologist. Some clients complain of acne appearing after the procedure. But in fact, it is not pimples that appear, but papules - a kind of “depot” that contains the drug.
In order not to aggravate side effects, it is necessary to follow the recommendations after Aquashine therapy.
- For a while, you should forget about using decorative cosmetics and other products such as creams and lotions - the skin needs to recover and adapt.
- An acceptable moisturizing and healing agent is D-Panthenol, the use of which should first be consulted with a leading specialist.
- Do not rub the area that has been corrected.
- You cannot drink alcohol or take certain medications, or go to the sauna or play sports. Sweating contributes to irritation of the dermis.
- On average, bad symptoms begin to subside after a few days; otherwise, it is recommended to seek help from a dermatologist.
However, in extremely rare cases, more serious complications may occur; they appear if contraindications are not followed or if the cosmetologist’s instructions are not followed.
Contraindications for use
- Pregnancy and lactation period.
- Age category below 35 years.
- Autoimmune diseases.
- Low blood clotting rates.
- Oncological diseases.
- Diabetes.
- Allergy or intolerance to certain components of the ampoule (including hyaluronic acid).
- Acute stages of dermatological diseases (psoriasis, eczema, herpes, etc.)
- Active stage of acne development.
- Inflammatory processes.
- Performed on the eve of contouring - biorevitalizant has poor contact with other fillers.
Side effect
The substances contained in the Aquashine filler are in most cases well tolerated by patients. Side effects are possible :
- papules may appear at the injection sites - small lumps with redness, which should normally go away on their own;
- swelling in the eyelid area occurs as an individual reaction to the intervention;
- allergic reaction to filler components.
Swelling and puffiness can occur if the technique of the procedure is violated, or if the doctor’s instructions for preparing and caring for the skin after the injection of filler are ignored.
The rehabilitation period after the biorevitalization procedure lasts 2-3 days , during which swelling, papules and redness disappear.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages can safely be attributed to:
- the effectiveness of eliminating age-related skin deformations;
- long-term results when implementing preventive therapy;
- wide range of drugs;
- the ability to correct various areas: face, neck, décolleté, eye and lip areas;
- a multi-component composition that not only rejuvenates the epidermis, but also nourishes it with necessary substances;
The disadvantages of Aquashine include the consequences that can result from improperly administered therapy.
- due to the wide list of incoming components, the risk of allergic reactions increases;
- the occurrence of hematomas;
- uneven color of the skin;
- severe swelling;
- the appearance of neoplasms.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of the drug are as follows::
- The rejuvenation effect occurs earlier and lasts much longer. This is achieved due to the increased density of the product and the content of peptides that do not allow hyaluronic acid to be destroyed.
- The action is aimed not only at rejuvenation, but also at correcting the configuration of different areas of the face and body.
- It is safe for human health, does not cause hormonal changes and does not increase the risk of malignant neoplasms.
- Preserves natural facial features.
Minuses:
- There is no anesthetic in the composition, so the procedures may be painful and cause discomfort.
- The drug may not cope with deep wrinkles and may be ineffective if the skin is not sensitive to the components of the composition.
- There is a high likelihood of allergic reactions due to the impressive list of ingredients.
- Not compatible with other fillers.
Comparison with other drugs
In modern cosmetology, a number of injection drugs are used, each with its own scheme of action, as well as different purposes of use. This misleads women who want to regain their former youth.

Aquashine – peptide biorevitalization
Not so long ago, preparations for injection rejuvenation were created exclusively on the basis of hyaluronic acid and, in general, coped well with their tasks - deeply and intensively moisturize the skin, improve its color and tone, provide lifting of soft tissues, and slow down the aging process. However, science does not stand still and today cosmetologists increasingly have products at their disposal that are much more complex in composition.
A good example of this is the line of biorevitalization preparations Revofil Aquashine from the world-famous South Korean holding Caregen Co., LTD. In addition to the usual “hyaluronic acid”, they contain several dozen (!) components designed to support and enhance each other’s effect.
To whom and at what age are they indicated? What results can you expect and how much will you have to pay for it? Are there any complications or side effects? TecRussia.ru analyzes in detail all available information:
↑ Composition and types of Aquashine preparations
Currently, the line of South Korean biorevitalizants is represented by two products:
- A basic drug intended for use between the ages of 35-40, when signs of aging begin to actively appear. Provides deep hydration to the skin and helps tighten it.
- Aquashine BR (from “brightness” - radiance) is a slightly modified formula, which, in addition to lifting and general anti-aging effects, produces skin depigmentation by reducing melanin synthesis. Indicated for older patients, from 45-50 years old.
Each of them contains more than 50 active substances:
- Unstabilized high-molecular hyaluronic acid with a density of 1.5% - performs a transport function for other active substances, and also provides deep hydration of the skin.
- Amino acids (24 types), which act as building materials for fibroblasts and protein compounds.
- Biomimetic peptides (4 types) are sequential compounds of amino acids that have an effect on the skin similar to natural growth factors.
- Nucleic acids for the synthesis of updated DNA.
- Vitamins (14 types), including A, C, E, K, I and group B, for antioxidant protection, stimulating the growth and division of healthy facial skin cells.
- Minerals and coenzymes (8 types) that improve metabolic processes in skin cells.
The components of both drugs are almost identical, with the exception of 2 peptides out of 4. Basic Aquashine contains Acetyl Decapeptide-3 and Oligopeptide-24, whose action is aimed at reducing the depth of wrinkles and smoothing the skin surface, and in BR they are replaced by Oligopeptide-23 and Oligopeptide-51, which provide an intense depigmenting effect.
How do biomimetic peptides act as part of Aquashine biorevitalizants: | |
Acetyl Decapeptide-3 (Rejuline) | controls the process of cell reproduction, the activity of fibroblasts (which produce growth factors and participate in skin regeneration), the migration of keratocytes (protective skin cells): remember the common phrase “skin rejuvenation at the cellular level” - this is exactly what it is |
Oligopeptide-24 (EDP-3) | stimulates the production of fibroblasts and keratocytes for active regeneration of the skin; elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid to improve skin quality and tone, reduce the appearance of scar defects |
Oligopeptide-34 (TGP-2) | slows down the photoaging process, fills skin cells with energy, reduces the appearance of age spots |
Oligopeptide-72 (Boostrin) | smoothes skin texture, prevents the appearance of new wrinkles, protects HA molecules from the effects of the enzyme hyaluronidase, which destroys them |
Oligopeptide-23 (Flatin) | activates the formation of new skin cells, participates in the regulation of cellular metabolism |
Oligopeptide-51 (Purilux) | inhibits the activity and production of melanocytes, stimulates the formation of new skin cells, elastin and collagen fibers, shrinks pores by inhibiting the production of lipids from which sebum (sebum) is synthesized |
↑ Indications for use
Cosmetologists usually recommend Aquashine to patients aged 35-40 years, when signs of skin aging are already becoming noticeable, but significant aging or ptosis of soft tissues has not yet been observed, which means there is no need for more radical methods (thread lifting, plastic surgery). The drug can be used at an earlier age; it gives good results when working with dry skin, which is not helped by conventional moisturizers - creams, serums, masks - as well as with a dull complexion. The list of main indications is quite impressive:
- manifestation of signs of age and photoaging (dry and emaciated skin, rashes, a network of wrinkles, loss of tone and elasticity, slight ptosis of soft tissues, swollen oval of the face)
- enlarged pores;
- increased production of sebaceous gland secretions;
- lack of own collagen and elastin;
- to reduce the severity of scars, including post-acne;
- before or after aggressive cosmetic procedures (deep peelings, laser resurfacing) and plastic surgeries for improved regeneration;
- prevention of photoaging and restoration of the skin after an intense period of insolation.
Biorevitalization with Aquashine BR is carried out when, in addition to the usual signs of aging, hyperpigmentation also appears on aging skin. Indications for this remedy, in addition to those listed above:
- the presence of pigment spots;
- rosacea;
- uneven and dull complexion;
- deep wrinkles;
- severe dehydration of the skin, loss of tone and elasticity, noticeable ptosis of soft tissues.
The issue of registering the drug on the Russian market remains unclear. It is not listed in the Roszdravnadzor register of medical devices. Also, at the time of writing this article, on the website of the Fiji Beauty Institute, which calls itself the exclusive representative of the Aquashine brand on the Russian market, there are no certificates issued by domestic government agencies (only a few foreign documents are given that have no legal force in the Russian Federation) . Representatives of TecRussia.ru contacted Fiji with a request to comment on this situation, but, unfortunately, did not receive a response. |
↑ How the procedure is performed
Biorevitalization courses with Aquashine preparations can be carried out according to various, individually selected schemes. As a rule, at least 3-4 sessions are required, carried out at intervals of 2 weeks, and another 2-3 maintenance procedures over the next year. The area of application of the drug is the face, neck, décolleté, back of the hands and other open areas of the body. As a rule, 1 syringe with 2 ml of product is used per session.
During the procedure, the patient is placed on a couch. Makeup is removed from the target area, its surface is treated with antiseptics, then an anesthetic is applied for 30-35 minutes (as necessary or at the request of the patient), which makes the injections virtually painless. Next, the cosmetologist applies markings and begins administering the drug using the chosen technique (linear, multi-dotted, fan, etc.). Once all injections have been completed, a soothing mask is applied to the face and other areas of the skin are treated with an anti-inflammatory agent to reduce redness and irritation.

The rehabilitation period after biorevitalization with Aquashine takes only 1-3 days, during which visible traces of injections disappear from the skin. On the first day, you are not allowed to use decorative cosmetics or intensively massage the treated areas. Then for another 2 weeks you will need to refrain from visiting the gym, bathhouse, swimming pool or solarium. According to the manufacturer’s promises, if all pre- and post-procedure restrictions are observed, the results obtained will last up to 2 years.
↑ Contraindications, complications, possible side effects
The list of factors that exclude the possibility of performing procedures using Aquashine biorevitalizants is no different from similar restrictions for other cosmetic injections:
- Individual intolerance to the drug or its individual components.
- Recent injection and similar procedures (Botox, contouring, tattooing).
- Pregnancy and lactation period.
- Inflammatory processes (herpes, acne) or damage to the integrity of the skin at the injection site.
- Chronic skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema).
- General acute condition or exacerbation of chronic systemic diseases.
- Bleeding disorders or taking anticoagulants.
- Oncological diseases, autoimmune diseases, diabetes.
- Tendency to form keloid scars.
- Mental illnesses, such as epilepsy.
- Age up to 16 years.
The situation is similar with possible undesirable consequences of the procedure: despite the multi-component composition, cosmetologists do not note any specific negative reactions to it.
- Complications and side effects after biorevitalization: a cosmetologist says
The most common side effect is swelling in the injection area, which usually goes away on its own within a few days (see also the articles “Swelling after hyaluronic acid fillers” and “Complications after contouring”). To reduce the likelihood of developing this problem, you should stop drinking alcohol the day before the procedure.
↑ How much does biorevitalization with Aquashine cost? Current prices
The patient's expenses will depend on several factors: the number of procedures in the course, the size of the treated area (and, accordingly, the amount of the drug used in one session), as well as the general pricing policy of the chosen cosmetologist or clinic. In general, the drug will cost slightly more than most biorevitalizants based on hyaluronic acid - this is explained by its complex composition and complex action:
