Possible complications
Compliance with the rules of the rehabilitation period is necessary not only to maintain the effect of the procedure. They will help prevent complications. After all, biorevitalization is done using injections into the thickness of the skin. That is, she receives microtraumas. During the procedure, biologically active substances are used, the reaction to which is not only positive.
Possible skin reactions after biorevitalization | Why might they appear on the skin? |
Bruises on the face | The skin contains many small blood vessels. They also exist in deeper layers. And if a specialist damages one of the vessels with a needle during the procedure, blood seeps out. This leads to the appearance of hematomas. In this case, care after the procedure should be aimed at accelerating their resorption. |
Change in skin color | It may turn red or become covered with white spots. This is a reaction to punctures and to the drug. Still, the process is an invasion of the functions of the skin, although aimed for good. Most often the reaction goes away after half an hour. But a longer presence is possible. If the redness does not subside for more than 2 days and is accompanied by a rash, there is reason to suspect an allergy. |
Tissue swelling | The accumulation of fluid is characteristic of the healing process of damaged skin at the very beginning. For some, it manifests itself mildly and goes away quickly. Others have to make efforts to make the complication disappear as quickly as possible. Facial swelling after biorevitalization may be a sign of an allergic reaction. |
Papules | The complication manifests itself in the form of swollen marks at the puncture points. Papules can remain on the face for 3 - 4 days, then they disappear. If they bother you for longer, you should seek help from a specialist. |
In addition to the common problems listed, an individual reaction to biorevitalization is also possible. These are, for example, dry skin, itching, pain. In each such case, proper care alone will not be enough; consultation with a specialist is necessary. Moreover, you will need to contact him if you find:
- changes in tissue sensitivity;
- lumps on the face;
- translucency of the drug through the skin in the form of stripes;
- nodules on the surface;
- the appearance of keloid scars.
We recommend reading the article about laser biorevitalization of the face. From the article you will learn about what the procedure is, its advantages and indications for its implementation, and the recovery period. And here is more information about how to care for your facial skin after biorevitalization.
Erythema
Erythema is redness of the skin caused by vasodilation. After biorevitalization, it is noted at and around the injection points. Usually the surface returns to its normal shade after 30 minutes. In the worst case, the side effect will linger for 1-2 days, as happens in people with sensitive skin.
But if the redness lasts longer and is accompanied by other symptoms, this is already a reason to worry. In other cases, erythema is not treated with anything; only care recommended by a specialist is needed.
Allergy
An allergy to a drug used during the procedure or an anesthetic is manifested by the following symptoms:
- redness of the face not only at the injection sites;
- increasing swelling;
- rashes;
- burning or itching of the skin.
The reaction may not be immediate, but may develop within a couple of days after biorevitalization. This happens with a tendency to allergies, but it is also possible in people who have never before suffered intolerance to drugs, food, etc. The cause of the problem can be either the synthesized hyaluronic acid itself or the auxiliary components of the drug.
If you have an allergy, you should consult a doctor, as waiting for everything to go away on its own can lead to anaphylactic shock (although this is very rare). Until the woman consults a specialist, you can take antihistamines.
Why is my skin swollen?
There may be several reasons why the skin swells after manipulation:
- if the face is swollen evenly and slightly, this is edema that occurs due to damage to blood vessels;
- the appearance of bumps, that is, papules, at the injection sites is not dangerous and is considered a side effect;
- If swollen areas have formed on your face over the course of a few days, this may be the body’s immune reaction to the injected drug, requiring medical intervention.
The problem of skin swelling also occurs when the volume of injected product is excessive, the wrong choice of drug is used, or the wrong injection technique. In these cases, it lasts for more than one day and also requires contacting a specialist.
Pimples
Acne in those who have undergone the procedure occurs for the following reasons:
- Infection during or after manipulation due to improper care. Pustules appear.
- Allergy. With it, the rashes are small, red, similar to hives.
- Stay in the open sun after the procedure. Acne occurs as a response to simultaneous exposure to ultraviolet radiation and the drug due to the activation of the sebaceous glands.
Sometimes pimples are called papules, that is, small elevations formed at injection points. This is a side reaction, it will go away on its own with proper facial care. In other cases, you need to consult a doctor, especially if acne is not the only thing that worries you.
Skin has become dry
If the skin becomes dry after the injection of hyaluronic acid, this is possible for the following reasons:
- a low-quality or inappropriate drug has been selected;
- an allergic reaction has occurred, but in this case there is also redness of the face;
- improper skin care, for example, cleansing it with alcohol-containing products;
- the patient was not prepared for the procedure.
Dryness is also provoked by alcohol, tobacco, and energy drinks. It can occur when visiting the beach, bathhouse or solarium at a time when these pleasures are still undesirable.
Puffiness under the eyes and redness
Swelling under the eyes and redness can be considered normal if the swelling is small, does not cause discomfort, does not grow over time, and the change in skin color goes away within a few hours. They should also not be accompanied by deterioration of health, itching and pain.
If the swelling is asymmetrical, the eyes become more and more swollen, and the redness does not go away, the reasons may be:
- allergy;
- too deep administration of the drug;
- using a product with an excessively high density or in more quantity than necessary.
Here we need a doctor, and until the patient gets to him - Suprastin, Tavegil or another antihistamine.
How to quickly remove marks from mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a rejuvenating procedure during which medicinal solutions are injected under the skin. Cocktails with beneficial substances, vitamins, hyaluronic acid and other nutrients are often used, which provide deep restoration of the skin and also treat the epidermis.
When performing mesotherapy, you can achieve the following positive effects:
- The therapy reduces wrinkles, scars and scars;
- Improving complexion, this procedure returns a healthy glow;
- Complete relief from acne, acne, pimples;
- Tightening the face shape, eliminating the double chin and jowls;
- The procedure helps get rid of age spots, post-acne, and redness.
Many women who are planning mesotherapy are interested in the answer to the question - how to remove bruises after this rejuvenation therapy. Even correct implementation and compliance with all important recommendations does not guarantee that these signs will not appear. They are not a complication and usually go away on their own within a few days.
But it is worth considering several effective methods that will help quickly remove bruises and hematomas after injections. They do not have any harmful effects on health, they can be safely carried out independently at home.
It is recommended to use dry cold. It may be unsafe to wipe the puncture with an ice cube, as this can lead to infection in the wound. Cosmetologists recommend applying a chilled spoon or a heating pad with ice to the skin.
Pharmacy products
For bruises and hematomas, you can use external remedies that help improve the condition of the skin and also remove swelling. But they should be used for large lesions that persist for several days.
Experts recommend using the following external remedies against hematomas and bruises:
- Troxevasin. The drug helps relieve hematomas and bruises. The product contains an active component - troxerutin. It penetrates the walls of capillaries and strengthens their structure. The ointment quickly eliminates the inflammatory process, promotes rapid healing of wounds after injections;
- Heparin ointment. This is a budget-friendly product that helps quickly eliminate bruises. The active component causes the resorption of blood clots. The drug has an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect;
- Badyaga. After application, it has a local irritating effect on the skin and enhances capillary blood circulation. These conditions cause rapid resorption of bruises;
- Girundin. As well as other external products based on leech extract. Their saliva contains substances that prevent blood clotting. This is what speeds up the removal of bruises.
Electroprocedures
After injections, traces of injections may remain for a long time. In addition, they can form unpleasant hematomas, which negatively affect their appearance. Electrical procedures can be used to eliminate these conditions.
The following procedures can quickly eliminate bruises:
- Microcurrent therapy. Exposure to weak current accelerates the elimination of damaged cells and increases the number of healthy ones;
- Darsonvalization. This procedure has a local irritating effect and increases blood circulation under the skin. Has a disinfecting effect on wounds;
- Galvanization. During this therapy, charged ions have a stimulating effect and enhance cell recovery. And negatively charged ones have a calming effect, eliminate inflammation and swelling.
Massage
Massage has a calming effect and helps eliminate bruises and bruises. However, under no circumstances should it be carried out in the first 48 hours after mesotherapy, the fact is that the puncture areas have not yet closed and they can easily become infected.
Reaction to biorevitalization
The body's reaction to biorevitalization is checked by a preliminary allergy test, but it can still turn out to be unpredictable - in the form of itching, burning on the face, and the appearance of scales. Some people note a deterioration in their skin condition. Each case must be assessed separately.
Face itches
If your face itches immediately after the procedure, this may be completely normal. This is how the skin reacts to damage and contact with the drug. If the sensation does not cause much discomfort and weakens over time, there is nothing to worry about. The main thing at this moment is not to touch the injection area.
Severe redness and itching on the face
Severe redness, which also includes itching on the face, is more alarming
signs, as allergies may be to blame. You need to monitor your feelings.
Redness has the right to exist for up to 2 days, if this is an individual skin reaction, but it should decrease.
Itching is normally felt at the injection sites, but it should not be too strong or prolonged. If both symptoms do not disappear, but, on the contrary, intensify, you need to go to the doctor.
The skin is peeling
If the skin peels off after manipulation, it may be:
- Due to improper care. This is not just about using decorative cosmetics too early. Sometimes a woman is afraid to smear anything on her face for a long time. But the lack of moisturizing creams in care is also not beneficial, the skin dries out and therefore flakes.
- A natural reaction to the intervention itself. After the procedure, the skin heals, that is, young cells are formed in it more intensively, and old ones die off. But in this case the peeling is not too intense.
- Reaction to the drug. If it is allergic, there is also swelling and redness. But when it comes to simple adaptation to the influence of synthetic hyaluronic acid, the skin becomes drier, the top layer becomes thinner, and small scales form.
Peeling of the skin
If the problem is pronounced or persists for a long time, you should consult a doctor.
My face is burning
The fact that your face burns after the procedure can be considered normal if:
- the feeling is not strong;
- discomfort decreases over time;
- it is present for less than a day.
With such signs, the sensation is considered as a reaction to skin injury and drug administration.
Feeling of tightness
The feeling of tightness occurs:
- In the first hours after the procedure, as a response to skin punctures and the interaction of acid with living tissue. You don't need to do anything about it, just endure it.
- Due to poor quality care. Do not think that the injected product has moisturized the skin once and for all. She also needs wound-healing creams and ointments that help restore the integrity of the skin.
In general, this sign is not dangerous if it is the only thing that worries you.
Skin has gotten worse
Sometimes the patient feels that the procedure has made her skin worse, but everyone who has undergone biorevitalization should take into account:
- Improvements are not immediately visible; for most, they occur within a few days or even weeks. And the effect is not noticeable, as it appears gradually.
- It is important for the doctor to choose a drug based on the woman’s age and skin condition. Hypercorrection with hyaluronic acid can really make the face look older and lead to new wrinkles.
- Sometimes the effect is unnoticeable due to the fact that the technique of administering the drug is broken. But this is on the doctor’s conscience.
- Sun, humid air, dust, and poor care can worsen skin condition. Soon after the manipulation, you should not expose your face to the sun’s rays, ignore hygiene, or apply decorative cosmetics. This provokes increased sweating, clogged pores, persistent dilation of blood vessels, that is, acne, redness, and the development of rosacea.
Headache
The fact that you have a headache after the procedure should not be scary, since such a reaction is one of the norms. The administered drug activates metabolism and dilates blood vessels. For sensitive women, this may cause a minor headache. More often it occurs in patients with low blood pressure, nervous and fearful. The pain should stop soon after the procedure is completed.

The essence of the procedure
As we age, our skin begins to produce less and less collagen and elastane, which contribute to skin elasticity. In this regard, wrinkles, sagging and age spots appear on the dermis of the face. She becomes dry and pale, which does not make the woman attractive at all.
Thanks to the introduction of hyaluronic acid, metabolic processes are established at the cellular level. The skin acquires a pleasant peach tint, becomes smooth and well-groomed, and the oval of the face becomes more toned. This effect lasts for a long period - 6 months. According to cosmetologists, you will look 5-10 years younger.
Facial biorevitalization involves the introduction of hyaluronic acid in two ways:
- In the form of filler injections that contain not only collagen, but also vitamins necessary for the normal appearance of the skin.
- Using a microcurrent, radio frequency or laser device, which promotes the penetration of the active components of the gel applied to the skin into the deep layers of the epidermis.
Cosmetologists advise resorting to the first method, since it provides positive results. If you undergo hyaluronic acid injections, be prepared for a short recovery period. Immediately after the injections, redness, swelling and even the formation of small bruises are possible. But after two days, such symptoms should pass, and you will be able to evaluate the result.
You should know! Hyaluronic acid, extracted from mammalian connective tissue, is able to attract water molecules. It is slippery and resembles jelly. Many cosmetologists are convinced that applying the product in the form of a gel to the skin and using hardware are not capable of ensuring deep penetration of the drug. Therefore, only injections are a sure way to prolong youth.
The effectiveness of collagen injections is manifested in:
- moisturizing the skin and eliminating peeling;
- smoothing out small facial wrinkles;
- improving dermal turgor;
- eliminating age spots and smoothing acne scars;
- acquiring a uniform healthy color to the skin.
Thus, biorevitalization promotes rejuvenation for 5–10 years. The injected acid lingers under the skin for 6–8 months, less often for a year. When applying the collagen injection therapy procedure every year, you can achieve a cumulative effect - your face will not only not age, but will also look younger.
The following photos before and after biorevitalization will demonstrate the effectiveness of the procedure.
Some women confuse the biorevitalization procedure with mesotherapy. In fact, these are different things. During mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid is not always used (they mostly resort to vitamin cocktails), and the syringe needle is not inserted so deeply. In addition, to achieve an effect comparable to 1–2 biorevitalization procedures, 10 mesotherapy sessions will be required.
It should be remembered that with serious age-related changes, biorevitalization will not help. You can eliminate deep wrinkles with Botox injections or the use of gold threads. In any case, consult your cosmetologist.
How many days does it take for skin inflammation, swelling, papules to go away after biorevitalization?
Immediately after the procedure, the face does not look very aesthetically pleasing, but complications go away quite quickly:
- Skin inflammation goes away within a maximum of 2 days. The skin acquires a normal shade, although the puncture points are still visible. They disappear within 5-6 days.
- Papules disappear after 2-3 days. All this time they decrease in size, that is, the very next day after biorevitalization, the tubercles look more smoothed out.
- Swelling may last up to 5 days after the procedure. But in most cases it goes away after 2-3 days. The most problematic places in this sense are the lower eyelids, since the skin here is the thinnest and most sensitive.
The duration of the presence of the listed manifestations is also influenced by the personal characteristics of the patient’s body, as well as the amount of the administered drug. Everything heals faster in people who do not have problems with blood circulation.
Is it possible to use Rescuer, Lyoton, Troxevasin after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid?
When it comes to lip care, it is best to protect yourself from the sun's rays. Experts recommend applying hygienic balm or butter to your lips before going out in the sun. In general, it is recommended to protect your lips from exposure to sunlight in the next week after injections. After all, this can cause burns or excessive dryness of the skin.
Regarding the use of some drugs, their use is permitted after the recommendation of a cosmetologist.
Prohibited drugs:
- Lyoton
- Troxevasin
- Heparin
They eliminate bruises well, but the preparations contain alcohol and silicone, which is prohibited if there are wounds. A puncture is a kind of small wound through which pathogenic microorganisms and harmful substances can leak. For care, you should choose gentle drugs.
Injection results
How long does biorevitalization take to resolve?
The drug can be absorbed after biorevitalization on average from 6 months to a year. It depends on the:
- the type and density of hyaluronic acid contained in it;
- the patient's lifestyle;
- the amount of product introduced;
- individual characteristics of the body;
- skin care.
The resorption period is shortened by alcohol, smoking, active sports, regular visits to the bathhouse, and frequent exposure to sunlight. The use of high-quality moisturizing creams and a healthy lifestyle help prolong the effect of biorevitalization.
What to apply on lips after increasing hyaluronic acid?
In order to speed up the process, absorbable drugs such as Heparin ointment or compresses with magnesium are used.
What to apply on lips after increasing hyaluronic acid:
- They promote the resorption of hematomas, thereby improving the appearance of the lips.
- However, if swelling does not go away within one week, we do not recommend self-medication; we recommend contacting your cosmetologist.
- He will find out what it is: a cyst, an overgrowth of fibrous tissue, or an accumulation of hyaluronic acid. Depending on this, treatment is carried out.
Bruises
How long will it take to see the effect after biorevitalization?
A clear effect after a biorevitalization session will appear in 8-15 days. This is turgor tightening and skin color improvement. The maximum result will be 2-3 months after the final procedure, and it will remain this way for at least the same amount of time. At this stage, wrinkles will be smoothed out and the oval will be tightened.
The relatively long wait is due to the fact that hyaluronic acid stimulates internal reserves for rejuvenation, and does not simply stretch wrinkles due to its own presence. In women with an active metabolism, the result may be detected earlier. But in this case, the drug dissolves faster.
Lips dry out after increasing hyaluronic acid - what to do?
Cosmetologists recommend applying honey to your lips. This is a kind of nourishing mask that moisturizes the skin and prevents it from drying out.
Dry lips after increasing hyaluronic acid:
- You can use regular lip balm, but you should choose hypoallergenic options based on natural ingredients, which include beeswax, honey, and plant extracts.
- Please note that the balm should not contain artificial or synthetic components, so that complications do not arise after the manipulation. Cosmetology may also recommend alginate masks, or saturating the skin of the lips with oxygen.
- Therefore, immediately after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid, the salon may offer you additional care procedures. Please note that it is advisable in the morning and evening, after brushing your teeth, to massage your lips with a toothbrush.
- This allows you to increase blood flow to the skin, thereby improving the condition and nutrition of this area. As a result, metabolic processes in this area improve. This reduces the possibility of peeling and irritation of the lips to zero.
Bruises
Proper skin care
In most cases, the procedure gives a positive effect after the first session, especially the course. An important condition for achieving it is care after biorevitalization of the face. It is quite simple, it is not needed for long, but it requires strict adherence. What is important:
- Antiseptic for external use after biorevitalization of the face
Facial hygiene comes first. But you can’t wash your face with water for the first day. To clean the skin, you need to wipe it with a chlorhexidine solution. It's better to do this for 3 days. - You should know what to apply on your face after biorevitalization. At first, the usual care products are not suitable. You can help punctures heal faster by using Traumeel S gel, Panthenol, and Bepanten creams. They contain substances that promote tissue regeneration.
- For hematomas, “Heparin ointment”, gels “Troxevasin”, “Lioton” will help faster. To go outside in bright sunshine for 5-7 days, you should protect your skin from it by applying a protective cream. Later, you can use regular cosmetics (hypoallergenic); it’s better not to try new products on yourself for now.
- Once all daily care procedures are completed, you should not touch your face anymore. Even if the problems have not gone away yet, you should disturb your skin as little as possible. You should sleep on your back for the first 2-3 days. But it’s still better to put a new pillowcase on the pillow, after ironing it well first.
What the face looks like after biorevitalization, how quickly the appearance takes on the proper shape, also depends on the individual characteristics of the body. In the first few hours, your own appearance will not please you in any case. Everyone experiences swelling and redness at this time, but there is no need to focus on them. Very soon, in most cases, they disappear, and the positive effect of biorevitalization comes to the fore.
How to get rid of bruises after a mesotherapy procedure: it’s very simple!
“Beauty requires sacrifice!”, you decided, and headed to the nearest salon. Friends have long recommended a fashionable and affordable procedure called “mesotherapy.” “It doesn’t last long, it’s not too expensive, and what an effect and result,” they said.
But not everything goes so smoothly. It happens that when you see yourself in the mirror after the procedure, you will be surprised to notice a swollen, reddish face.
Consequences after mesotherapy injections
And in the morning, bruises may appear in place of the redness after the injections. The question immediately arises: why did this side effect occur and is it normal? Why didn’t the salon immediately warn that youth and freshness of the face would cost so much?
The main thing in such a situation is not to panic. Of course, the specialist should have advised you and told you that bruises after mesotherapy are common. Just next time you need to choose a salon more carefully and ask in more detail about the procedure itself and its possible consequences.
Attention: if you want to know more about the possible consequences, read on!
But how to remove all these bruises after injections under the eyes, on the neck, on the body?
Let's look into all this.
Remember: any “invasion” of foreign objects inside your body will cause some kind of reaction from the body.
And even though the needles used in mesotherapy are microscopically thin, when inserted they inevitably damage the smallest blood vessels, hence bruising, swelling and even hematomas.
And it doesn’t matter whether you inject into the face and décolleté, into the stomach or buttock - the reasons for the side effects will be the same. It turns out that when doing “beauty injections”, you need to know in advance and stock up on what helps or will help against such stagnant spots after bruises
After all, it all depends on the individual reaction of your skin to injections.
It turns out that when doing “beauty injections”, you need to know in advance and stock up on what helps or will help against such stagnant spots after bruises. After all, it all depends on the individual reaction of your skin to injections.
Treatment methods
So, how can you remove such “consequences” so that they do not linger on your face and body for a long time? Surely there are ointments for swelling in your medicine cabinet. This can be Heparin ointment, Troxevasin, Traumeel S, Lyoton, Chitosan gel, various healing balms and gels.
A mask from the well-known “Badyagi”, as well as simply medicinal compresses, will also have a beneficial effect.
Watch the video of the program “About the Main Thing”, from it you will learn how to quickly get rid of bruises that appear, including with the help of a badyagi:
The sooner you take action, the sooner the bruises will disappear after a recent mesotherapy procedure.
Now you already know how you can quickly get rid of troubles after injections. Let's now look at what prohibitions exist after the procedure.
Basic rules of behavior after the procedure
As you know, a sauna, solarium and beach immediately after injections only worsen the situation. Therefore, try to refrain from overheating, and the best thing is to stay at home and let your face or body recover from the “stress.” As reviews from girls and women about the mesotherapy procedure show, it will take very little time.
How to remove red spots from the face after biorevitalization
Red spots after biorevitalization can be removed from the face:
- Using Bepanten cream. This is a wound healing agent that should be applied to puncture marks, that is, all over the face.
- A combination of “Bepanten” with “Fenistil-gel” or “Advantan”, if we are talking about redness caused by contact dermatitis. This happens when the skin reacts negatively to anesthetic cream. You should also take antihistamines orally and stay out of the sun.
Why do lips peel after increasing hyaluronic acid - what to do?
The technique is minimally invasive, since during the manipulation, small portions of hyaluronic acid are injected into the lips using a very thin needle. This is a substance that is produced in the body of any person under 25 years of age. After 30 years, its production decreases significantly, resulting in the aging process.
It is hyaluronic acid that promotes skin elasticity, tenderness and tension. Accordingly, after 30 years, wrinkles and deterioration of skin tone may be observed. By introducing this acid, you can slow down the aging process. The most interesting thing is that, unlike Botox and other invasive techniques, the introduction of hyaluronic acid is practically not associated with contraindications or any serious disruptions in the functioning of the body.
This is due to the fact that the substance is natural. However, the disadvantage is that the product dissolves over time, so the procedure has to be repeated from time to time. Many girls who have had lip size manipulations done with hyaluronic acid are concerned with the question of how to care for them? There are several recommendations that should be followed after the manipulation.
Results after surgery
Possible consequences after the operation:
- Edema
- Presence of cones
- Presence of bruises and hematomas
- Peeling, redness in the lips
- Recurrence of the herpes virus
Lips peel after increasing hyaluronic acid:
- The most common ones include excessive dryness and cracking of the skin of the lips. According to cosmetologists, the skin in this area dries due to the use of an anesthetic.
- It is anesthesia, that is, painkillers that contribute to dry lips. Therefore, they can burst, crack and peel. Accordingly, after the manipulation, the doctor usually prescribes a rich cream for care.
- Many home users advise lubricating this area with vegetable oil or butter. Such manipulations prevent the evaporation of moisture from the lips, thereby moisturizing the skin.
Lumps
Bruise, bags after biorevitalization: what to do
If a bruise has formed after the biorevitalization procedure, you can get rid of it faster:
- gel "Traumeel S";
- "Heparin" ointment;
- bodyagi-based products.
But if the hematoma is small, you should just wait until it resolves on its own. Because the listed remedies not only act on bruises, but also contribute to faster degradation of the injected drug.
The only way to remove bags under the eyes formed after biorevitalization is with a healthy lifestyle and cool compresses. Since they arise from excess fluid in the tissues, you should drink less at night and avoid eating salty foods. Among the cosmetics that can cope with the problem is Arnica cream. But not all doctors believe in its effectiveness, since it is a homeopathic remedy.
A specialist can prescribe microcurrent therapy, as it really reduces swelling. But it is also carried out in the clinic. For pronounced bags under the eyes that do not go away for a long time, hormonal ointments are prescribed.
Microcurrent therapy
Possible side effects
Of course, injecting the drug under the skin violates its integrity. In addition, the body must respond to the spread of a foreign agent. That is why negative consequences immediately after biorevitalization cannot be avoided.
Side effects lasting no more than 72 hours are considered normal. These include:
- itching at the injection site and the formation of papules;
- feeling as if your face is on fire;
- redness of the skin;
- puffiness, especially in the eye area (bags under the eyes);
- mild pain;
- formation of small hematomas.
If these side effects do not go away within the specified period, then you should immediately contact a cosmetologist. It is possible that sterility was not maintained during the procedure, perhaps a low-quality drug was used, and therefore an inflammatory process began to develop. In some cases (extremely rare), hyaluronic acid is incompatible with the skin, provoking an allergic reaction.
Note! The effect of hyaluronic acid on the gestating fetus during pregnancy has not been fully studied. There is an opinion that using the procedure in the first trimester of pregnancy can lead to autism in the unborn baby. In any case, women during pregnancy and during lactation are recommended to refuse biorevitalization, replacing it with a light facial massage and healing moisturizing masks.
Another unpleasant side effect that occurs due to the use of expired or cheap filler is facial asymmetry. File a complaint with your cosmetologist and demand a free correction.
When collagen is injected near blood vessels by an inexperienced specialist, hematomas or, worse, blockage of blood vessels can occur. In this case, you need to undergo restorative therapy using gels and ointments prescribed by a cosmetologist or dermatologist.
Before you sit down in a chair with a beauty specialist, you should have a conversation about contraindications. Do not hesitate to inquire about a diploma of medical education and whether the salon has permission to conduct biorevitalization.
Biorevitalization is not a cheap procedure. The minimum cost of an unexpired drug is 7 thousand rubles. The following manufacturers are popular:
- Ial-System;
- Viscoderm;
- Restylane;
- Jalupro;
- Surgilift;
- Skin R;
- Teosyal Meso;
- JUVEDERM Hydrate.
Each product has a different consistency of hyaluronic acid. All of them are highly compatible with the female body. The choice of collagen should be trusted to an experienced cosmetologist, who will determine the degree of neglect of the skin. In addition, the specialist will focus on your age and tendency to allergic reactions.
How and when to use Heparin, Depanthenol ointment
For patients with increased fragility of blood vessels, Heparin ointment will be useful if noticeable bruises have formed after injections of hyaluronic acid. It is applied 2-3 times a day, spreading over the bluish area. The first time should be used a day after the procedure; before that, it is enough to apply cold. The product contains a component that can dissolve existing blood clots that have splashed out of the vessels and prevent new ones from forming.
To speed up the healing of punctures after biorevitalization, use Depanthenol ointment, more precisely “D Panthenol”. It is applied to the face 2-4 times a day. You can start a few hours after the procedure. The product accelerates the regeneration of skin cells by restoring internal metabolism, and also has a slight anti-inflammatory effect.
Can I use foundation?
Decorative cosmetics are generally contraindicated in the first 7–10 days after “beauty injections,” but the use of mascara, lipstick, and eye shadow is allowed.
As for foundation, it is better to avoid it at least for the rehabilitation period - its structure is too heavy, it firmly clogs the pores and does not allow the skin to “breathe”. And this automatically delays the healing process, and the ingress of such drugs into injection sites can provoke the development of an inflammatory process.
If there is an urgent need to apply such decorative cosmetics, then you need to use light foundation creams made according to a gentle formula:
- Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - suitable for any skin type, creates the thinnest film on the surface, masks minor flaws;
- VOV pure liquid foundation – the composition contains pigments that even out the complexion, can be used for both dry and combination skin types, there are no fats among the components;
- Clarins True Radiance SPF 15 – the composition includes moisturizing components, so this foundation can be used continuously so that the results obtained after “beauty injections” last as long as possible.
Cosmetologists warn that the use of light structure foundation creams does not allow the use of loose powder.
Restrictions
Rehabilitation after the procedure includes not only skin care, but also compliance with certain prohibitions. What you should not do after facial biorevitalization also applies to lifestyle:
- You should not try to cope with papules with radical methods. You need to let them heal peacefully, and not pick at them or burn them with alcohol. Combing raised areas on the skin or rubbing them, trying to level them with the rest of the surface, is also prohibited.
- It is unacceptable to expose your face to sudden changes in ambient temperature. This means a ban on visiting a solarium, a bathhouse, or spending a long time in the open sun, even with a protective cream. A hot bath should be replaced with a warm shower. Overheating increases swelling, provides a favorable environment for bacteria, and provokes allergies. And ultraviolet rays, natural or artificial, can cause age spots to appear.
- You shouldn't get too cold either. A cold can prevent your skin from recovering quickly.
- It is not worth doing other cosmetic and physiotherapeutic procedures before the end of rehabilitation. Peels and masks will now cause harm, not the expected benefit. Facial massage after biorevitalization is contraindicated for at least 2 weeks.
- Physical activity in any form is also not beneficial. Sport promotes the removal of used drugs and provokes a delay in swelling on the face. You should also avoid harmless swimming. This must also be done because face contact with water is undesirable.
- You will have to put off cosmetics for 3-4 days. Foundation, powder, and other make-up products that get into a wound can cause infection. And besides, cosmetics will interfere with the absorption of the cocktail. The ban also applies to care creams during this period. Products that have a warming effect are especially dangerous.
- Taking any medications without consulting a specialist who performed biorevitalization is undesirable. It is unknown how they will affect the restoration processes in the skin. Many drugs on the list of adverse reactions have swelling, impaired blood clotting and other currently undesirable effects.
- Restrictions after facial biorevitalization include avoiding certain drinks. Alcohol consumption is prohibited for at least a couple of weeks. Alcoholic drinks, even high-quality ones and in small quantities, cause intoxication, increase swelling, and can encourage the development of allergies. Coffee, beloved by many, is also not worth drinking now. It causes vasospasm, which does not promote skin healing.
- You should completely stop smoking for the entire course of procedures. A bad habit not only interferes with recovery. It can reduce the effect of biorevitalization.
How much you will generally have to limit yourself after the procedure depends on your age and skin’s ability to regenerate. It must be taken into account that there should be several biorevitalization sessions. Therefore, some will have to be careful throughout the course.
Can Traumeel be used after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid?
Traumeel is a homeopathic remedy that has an excellent effect on lip health. It contains only plant extracts that improve the resorption of swelling and bruises. Accordingly, Traumeel is allowed after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid.
Troxevasin and Heparin are good drugs, but they are used only if there is no damage to the skin. Accordingly, they cannot be used within 3 days after the procedure, due to the fact that the punctures have not yet healed. That is why only a product is used that improves healing of wounds. Ice and cold will help to cope with swelling and bruising. Therefore, try to give up Lyoton, as well as Troxevasin.
Recommended substances:
- Traumeel
- Arnica
- Rescuer
- Panthenol
- Bepanten
Edema
It is forbidden to use Bodyaga, as it contains freshwater sponge extract. The substance injures already damaged skin.
How to avoid complications
Facial biorevitalization in most cases leaves the following consequences:
- skin rejuvenation and tightening;
- improving the color and relief of the epidermis;
- filling the skin with moisture and feeling comfortable, lack of tightness;
- disappearance of superficial wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes;
- lightening pigment spots and scars.
To ensure that the effect is only positive, and the negative aspects are reduced to an inevitable minimum, you should try:
- Find the best specialist . Sometimes the cause of complications is the incorrect technique of administering the drug. Placing it too deeply into the skin causes injury to blood vessels, papules, and necrosis. And too superficial an introduction will result in unevenness on the face due to poor absorption of the product. Complications also occur if the cosmetologist does not realize the importance of maintaining sterility during manipulations.
- Prepare well for the procedure. You should tell the cosmetologist about all health problems, without hiding allergic reactions noticed in the past or a tendency to form scars. In a few days, women who smoke should forget about this habit or at least reduce the number of cigarettes. Alcohol must also be given up in advance, as well as taking blood thinners.
- It is important not to overeat immediately before the procedure, get a good night’s sleep, and also arrange a schedule of sessions so that none of them fall during your critical days.
- During rehabilitation, not only carefully care for your face, based on the recommendations of a specialist, but also lead a healthy lifestyle . Diet is important. If it is dominated by light but healthy food (fruits, vegetables, cottage cheese, sour milk), tissue regeneration proceeds faster. The diet helps to get rid of edema earlier.
- And if you drink a lot of water after the procedure (up to 2 liters per day), you will not only be able to recover without problems, but also get the maximum result from it.

What contributes?
Naturally, an experienced cosmetologist makes injections easier and more accurately than a beginner. Therefore, bruises after it are less frequent and small. But a lot also depends on the patient’s body and lifestyle.
Here are some factors that contribute to the formation of bruises:
- Thin skin. It just seems that the vessels underneath are clearly visible and it’s easier not to get into them. In fact, they are located closer to the surface, so even when introducing drugs to a shallow depth, the risk of damage is high.
- Cuperosis is a pronounced vascular network. It practically guarantees the appearance of multiple bruises after injections with hyaluronic acid preparations. But for such patients the procedure is useful. It helps strengthen capillaries and reduce the manifestations of rosacea. So it's worth being patient.
- Arterial hypertension. If you have uncontrolled hypertension, the procedure cannot be done at all. But blood pressure also increases when a person is nervous, and this accelerates blood flow and if the blood vessels are damaged, the bruises will be larger. Therefore, you should relax as much as possible or take a mild sedative.
- Alcohol. Wine and strong drinks dilate capillaries and speed up blood flow. In addition, ethanol promotes the rapid breakdown of hyaluronic acid. This is why drinking alcohol at least a day before the procedure is strictly forbidden.
- Caffeine. The same applies to drinks with high caffeine content. It is also better not to drink strong coffee on the day of the procedure. And eliminate “energy drinks” at least three days in advance. However, those who want to preserve the results from them for a long time should completely abandon them - they speed up the metabolism and removal of hyaluronic acid.
In the first two days after the procedure, high temperatures should be avoided. Plugs of platelets gradually form at the puncture sites. With a sharp expansion of the vessels, they fly out, and the blood begins to ooze again.
You will also have to limit sports activities - they speed up metabolic processes and increase blood pressure.
