Recently, so-called beauty injections have become increasingly popular among women of different ages. They help cope with facial and age wrinkles, pathological acne, pigmentation and increased dryness of the skin, as well as other problematic issues. They are performed using domestic and foreign drugs. Let's look at how Revy's biorevitalization proceeds.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
An important quality of Revy preparations for biorevitalization is the presence of a cumulative effect. One session using the product replaces 3-4 courses of injections. Subsequent injections after 6-8 months continue the effect of the drug. The condition of the skin remains unchanged as after the first procedure.
Drug review
Biorevitalizant (some cosmetologists call it filler) Revi is a hyaluronic acid gel, available in separately packaged sterile syringes in a dosage of 1 or 2 ml.
It is used for:

In addition to the facial area, injections are also effective on other parts of the body.

Combined protocols with hardware and other invasive techniques
With botulinum therapy
The REVI course is best carried out before botulinum toxin injections in order to comprehensively improve the appearance of the skin.
Simultaneous botulinum therapy and REVI biorevitalization procedures are also allowed, since the application points of the drugs are at different levels of soft tissue.
With contouring
It is more logical to carry out the REVI course before contouring in order to improve the quality of the skin and a visually more pronounced effect from the complex of procedures.
REVI procedures are carried out at least 10-14 days after filler injection due to the disappearance of post-traumatic tissue swelling.
In areas where permanent fillers are located, drugs should not be injected to a depth of more than 1 mm due to their unpredictable chemical interactions.

- REVI procedures are performed before laser procedures 7-14 days or after laser therapy 14-21 days.

Preparation for the procedure
The choice of a cosmetologist should be approached responsibly.
It is advisable to read reviews about it on the forums. When you come to a clinic or salon, you need to look at the certificates confirming the qualifications of a specialist in this field. Typically, such documents are placed on an appropriate stand in the lobby or directly in the office. Institutions responsible for the quality of their work enter into an agreement with the patient on the services provided. Biorevitalization, like any other cosmetic procedure, is preceded by a preparatory stage.
- First, the cosmetologist examines the problem area, assesses the possibility of injections, determines the dosage and course duration.
- Next comes the diagnostic stage. It is necessary to identify contraindications and prevent complications. You should not hide existing health problems from a specialist.
Precautionary measures
A few days before the injections, you need to stop smoking, drink alcohol and take medications. The latter should be canceled only after agreement with the doctor who prescribed them.
You are also not allowed to visit saunas, solariums, or sunbathe). On the day of the procedure, you should not apply cosmetics to your face (if therapy is performed in this area).
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
The day before the procedure, it is recommended to avoid contact with caustic substances - it is undesirable to be near a fire or peel onions. This is important because it is never advisable to cry. For the same purpose, eliminate negative emotions as much as possible. This also applies to the early recovery period, which lasts from 3 to 7 days.
Stages of the biorevitalization procedure
- Cleaning and disinfecting with an antiseptic the area into which the drug will be administered.
- Introduction of an anesthetic (if the patient has a low pain threshold).
- Opening the package with Revi gel, connecting the syringe with the ultra-thin needle that comes with the kit.
- Injection of the drug under the skin using one of the recommended techniques (papular, micro-papular or linear-retrograde). The injections are made at a distance of at least 1 cm from each other, the depth of immersion of the needle can be 0.2-1.5 mm.
- Treating the skin with an antiseptic.
- Applying a special cream or mask with an anti-inflammatory effect.
On average, the whole process takes about half an hour. The duration of the course and the number of injections are selected individually in each case, depending on age and existing skin problems.
Important! During repeated procedures, a new package of the drug should be used. You cannot store its remains in the refrigerator - using previously opened biorevitalizant can cause skin problems.
Healing period
After biorevitalization with Revy, minor redness and swelling may appear at the injection sites. These are normal consequences of injection manipulation, disappearing on their own within 3-5 days.
If at the end of the specified period the skin condition has not improved, you should see a doctor.
To speed up the healing process it is recommended:
- on the first day, do not touch the injection site with your hands to avoid infection;
- in the next 3 days, refuse to visit the sauna, bathhouse, or swimming pool;
- avoid overheating and hypothermia;
- if therapy was carried out in the facial area, do not use decorative cosmetics for at least a day;
- exclude serious physical activity;
- adhere to a healthy lifestyle.
You can consult your doctor about taking painkillers and decongestants as needed.
At what age is therapy allowed?
The procedure can be performed on patients over 18 years of age, but experts are of the unanimous opinion that it should not be used until the age of 30-35 unless absolutely necessary.
The results of use are most noticeable in women after 40, when the skin loses a significant amount of moisture and begins to age.
