Biorevitalization is a gentle rejuvenating procedure that triggers the skin’s own renewal processes, increases skin elasticity, normalizes water balance, microcirculation and, as a result, improves skin color. After just a few procedures, the skin becomes radiant, wrinkles disappear, and the aging process itself slows down.

Biorevitalization is an injection procedure. Special preparations are injected into the skin, which are cocktails of hyaluronic acid (HA), various vitamins, and microelements.

What are the features of biorevitalization with Aquashine preparations?

Aquashine is produced by the South Korean company Caregen. Initially, the company developed raw materials for cosmetic preparations - in particular, biomimetic peptides, which are analogues of human peptides. Later she began producing her own products designed to maintain youthful and beautiful skin. In Russia, Aquashine is approved for use in 2022.

The main feature of the Aquashine line is that these biorevitalizants are able to slow down the aging of the dermis at the cellular level. They suppress the processes of excessive melanin formation and reduce the amount of hidden pigments in the skin.

Aquashine preparations contain the following elements:

• hyaluronic acid;
• vitamins, including 9 representatives of group B, vitamins C, A, E, K and I (inositol);
• biomimetic peptides (4 types);
• 24 amino acids;
• coenzymes;
• nucleic acids;
• minerals.

Recovery after the procedure

The recovery period after injections with Aquashine takes 1-3 days. During this time, visible traces of injections, swelling, and possible redness disappear. The skin takes on a radiant, fresh look, wrinkles are smoothed out, and pigmentation goes away.

To obtain a lasting visible result and prevent complications after the procedure, you should follow simple rules and recommendations for 7 days:

• Avoid the use of decorative cosmetics.
• Do not massage, warm wraps, masks, compresses.
• Refuse to visit the pool, open water, steam room, or spa.
• Do not sunbathe (in direct sunlight, in a solarium, using self-tanning products).
• Limit physical activity.
• Avoid the use of alcohol and anticoagulants, which are contained in many antipyretic drugs, as well as in medications for headaches and joint pain.

In 98% of cases, Aquashine biorevitalization takes place without complications or undesirable consequences in the form of redness or swelling of the injection area. Much depends on the degree of personal responsibility of the patient, as well as on the qualifications and experience of the cosmetologist.

Properties of peptides

Peptides are organic substances that regulate the condition of cells. When introduced into the body, they force cells to work correctly. The effect of restoration of the affected organ or tissue occurs due to the normalization of work at the cellular level. And without any chemical or surgical intervention!

Aquashine preparations contain several peptides. Thus, Acetyl Decapeptide-3 activates the production of fibroblasts. Oligopeptide-24 improves skin regeneration, increases collagen production, improves tone, and reduces scars. Oligopeptide-34 stops the aging process, fills skin cells with energy, and reduces the appearance of pigmentation. Oligopeptide-72 prevents the formation of wrinkles and smoothes the skin. Oligopeptide-23 improves metabolism. Oligopeptide-51 shrinks pores and stimulates the formation of elastin.

What else is included in Aquashine BTX?

Acetyl Decapeptide-3. It has an anti-aging effect achieved by activating fibroblast skin cells. They, in turn, enhance collagen formation. Oligopeptide-23. Participates in cell biosynthesis and regulates metabolism in the body.

Oligopeptide-24. Stimulates the production of a number of compounds that determine the youthful appearance of facial skin. An increase in the level of elastin, keratinocytes and other substances leads to the healing of scars and the reduction of wrinkles on the surface of the dermis.

Oligopeptide-51. Reduces the production of melanocytes and lipids responsible for the synthesis of sebum. This leads to effective depigmentation of the dermis.

High molecular weight compounds - adenosine phosphate, nucleosides adenosine and guanosine, nitrogenous bases cytosine and thymine. All of them are essential components of nucleic acid molecules that control the process of biological protein synthesis in the body. They have the ability to effectively reduce wrinkles and are a source of energy for the functioning of skin cells.

Amino acids that play the role of building material for the protein structure of cells. Group of coenzymes Q10 and mineral elements. Such substances are present in all tissues of living organisms and participate in oxidative processes. They perform a protective function when exposed to adverse environmental factors. Their most optimal content in the body occurs at the age of 20, at 30 years their content decreases by 30%, and at 60 by 50%.

A large group of vitamins is a necessary link in the chain of stimulating, antioxidant and regulatory effects. Thus, regenerating, revitalizing and relaxing effects are combined in one preparation, which allows us to talk about Aquashine BTX as one of the best developments in modern cosmetology.

Other important components of Aquashine

Hyaluronic acid is contained in Aquashine preparations in two forms - high molecular weight and low molecular weight. At the same time, high molecular weight acid helps transport peptides into the layers of the skin and their accumulation, while low molecular weight acid quickly saturates the skin with moisture and serves as a “transport” for other components.

Vitamins nourish and restore cells, amino acids supply building material for fibroblasts - cells that synthesize collagen and elastin. Coenzymes transport nutrients to cells and activate their defense and division. Nucleic acids are needed to update DNA, and minerals are needed to improve metabolic processes.

Contraindications

In order to avoid complications after biorevitalization, it is necessary to adhere to certain rules. If there are contraindications to the use of Aquashine, it is necessary to refuse manipulation. Contraindications are:

• hypersensitivity to the components included in the drug;
• the presence of chronic skin diseases (eczema or psoriasis);
• presence of cancer;
• pregnancy;
• exacerbation of inflammatory diseases;
• breastfeeding period;
• hemophilia;
• taking anticoagulants;
• herpes;
• diabetes.

To reduce the risk of side effects, you should also limit your alcohol intake the day before the procedure.

Release form and course of treatment

Both Aquashine and Aquashine BR are available in dosed form for 1 procedure - 2 ml of the drug is already in the syringe. For the procedure, 32G needles are used. Before the doctor gives the injections, the following happens:

1. first the skin is thoroughly cleansed;
2. then a local anesthetic is applied;
3. after this there is a marking where the injections will be made.

Markings are made before injections

The drug is administered starting from the edge of the jaw, gradually moving to the entire area of ​​the face - the intervals between injections range from 0.8 to 1 mm. The procedure ends with the application of a soothing mask and sunscreen.

In order to achieve a sustainable effect, one procedure is not enough. A good result can be achieved if you do a session of at least 3 procedures. If the skin is in a neglected state, it is recommended to do a session of 6 procedures. The interval between manipulations is at least 2 weeks.

Reviews from respondents indicate that the therapeutic effect is noticeable within a day. Both cosmetologists and patients note that in subsequent days the effect intensifies, that is, Aquashine works with accumulating effectiveness, forcing the body itself to synthesize the necessary elements.

Experts recommend performing at least 3 procedures to support the results within a year. If an intensive course of biorevitalization is required, then you will have to visit the clinic every two months for a year. At the same time, you should not contact a different cosmetologist each time; it is better to do sessions with the specialist who has already done biorevitalization for you.

The price for the procedure ranges from 10 to 12 thousand rubles, but it is worth checking if there are any discounts on the full course - this way you can save a lot.

Characteristics of the drug, manufacturer

The package with the drug contains a bottle with a ready-made solution. This reduces the risk of errors in its preparation and calculation of concentrations.

The manufacturer, a company from South Korea, CaregenCo.LTD, has established itself all over the world and has an excellent reputation. Since 2001, she has been developing cosmetics using innovative technologies. The company guarantees the quality of drugs, meeting the requirements of international standards.

The discovery of biopeptides by the founding professor of the Caregen concern contributed to the development of world cosmetology. These substances regulate the functioning of epidermal cells, reduce melanin production, and eliminate visual defects on the skin. Now they are produced both for Korean cosmetics and other brands (La Prairie, Revlon, Loreal).

Since 2014, the company has launched the production of dermoregulators for Aquashine biorevitalization; reviews from clients of cosmetology clinics in different countries indicate their effectiveness.

The drug contains:

• Hyaluronic acid, which creates a hydro reserve in the skin. It has an antioxidant effect and retains water in the intercellular space, which is needed for elasticity and smoothing out wrinkles.
• Biopeptides, the name of which depends on the type of drug. Their function is to fight aging.
• Coenzymes - provide cellular nutrition and division.
• Mineral components - protect against negative environmental factors.
• Nucleic acids - for the synthesis of the DNA chain.
• Vitamins - to nourish cells.
• Amino acids - participate in the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

The components are in bound form in the gel. The joint work of active ingredients gives a pronounced result, quickly transforming the appearance from the first injections. The drug is often called Revofil Aquashine. The first Aquashine products belonged to the Revofil line, but now it is an independent series, including 5 drugs.

How many procedures are required?

Biorevitalization Aquashine is a course treatment that requires an average of 3-5 procedures. For a sustainable effect, it is recommended to carry out maintenance procedures twice a year. Well-defined results appear within two weeks.

For intensive treatment, it is possible to carry out six sessions of treatments at intervals of 2 weeks and up to six sessions of maintenance therapy throughout the year.

The effect is visible immediately. It reaches its maximum 2 weeks after the procedure. The results obtained last for a year or longer.

What explains the effectiveness of the method

The condition of the skin is largely determined by the activity of special cells - fibroblasts. Their main function is to produce structural protein components (elastin and collagen). They form an elastic frame that supports all layers of skin tissue.

The effect of biorevitalization of the skin of the face and neck depends on hyaluron. The branched structure of the molecule helps to retain a large amount of water, thanks to which turgor (elasticity) is maintained, which serves to prevent the formation of wrinkles.

Improvement occurs after the first session and consists of:

• Normalization of moisture levels.
• Activation of the production of scaffold proteins.
• Acceleration of regeneration (renewal of cellular composition).

There is also stimulation of the natural synthesis of hyaluron, which significantly enhances and prolongs the rejuvenating properties of the technique.

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.

In what special cases is Aquashine BTX prescribed?

First of all, in case of lack of sensitivity to botulinum therapy.

One of the important advantages of Aquashine with Botox effect is the ability to combine it with most other procedures used in aesthetic medicine. So, for example, this drug can be used:

• in combination with Botox to prolong the effects of botulinum therapy;
• in combination with contour plastic surgery and biorevitalization with other drugs, with hardware treatment methods, including laser ones.

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.

Indications for use

Looking at the composition of Aquashine, you can already notice that the main tasks that the drug sets itself after administration are skin rejuvenation and slowing down the aging process.

When we say “beautiful skin”, we mean not only the absence of wrinkles and ptosis. A really good drug for biorevitalization should, to one degree or another, solve absolutely all skin problems:

• 
  dark spots;

• wrinkles of any severity;
• translucent vessels and capillaries;
• enlarged pores;
• dryness;
• greasy shine;
• sagging skin, ptosis;
• dull complexion.

That is, in order for the skin to look ideal, it must have some resources that will allow it to independently cope with the task of regulating moisture levels, producing sebum, melanin, collagen, and renewing the layers of the dermis. And the procedure performed with the drug “Aquashine” gives the skin these resources in order to look perfect and natural.

Types of drugs

Despite the fact that Aquashine has a unique composition that suits everyone, the manufacturer has made three versions of the composition for injection, the price of which is approximately the same:

• “Aquashine Soft” The first drug is universal; it can be used by any patient who wants to rejuvenate the skin or give it a more fresh and well-groomed appearance.
• “Aquashine BR” The second type of drug is suitable for those cosmetologist’s patients who suffer from severe pigmentation - age-related or from sun freckles.
• “Aquashine BTX” The third composition is somewhat unusual for traditional biorevitalization. In its name, the creators encoded the word “Botox”, thereby managing to express that the drug affects the muscles of the face, thereby, in parallel with the traditional effect of biorevitalization, fighting expression wrinkles.

All drugs are available in the form of bottles with an injection needle, which is included in the price. However, it should be remembered that several types of Aquashine cannot be administered simultaneously. A professional cosmetologist will individually select the most suitable product for each patient, based on the problems they have. In this case, biorevitalization will give the most pronounced result.

Prices for the procedure

Biorevitalization with Aquashine

How to use the drug?

Biorevitalization "Aquashine" is performed according to the same principle as any other. On a previously cleaned face, the doctor makes small punctures with a thin needle, injecting a tiny amount of the drug under the skin. Such punctures are made along all massage lines of the face with an interval of no more than 10 mm. Sometimes injections are performed in the neck and décolleté area.

Even if you give the injections once, there will certainly be an effect, because after introducing the components of the composition under the skin, an active intercellular process will begin, aimed at rejuvenating, renewing tissues, and saturating them with moisture. But it is best to listen to the opinion of the manufacturer and complete a course of injections. That is, do 3-4 sessions with breaks for tissue regeneration from punctures. In this case, the effect will be visually fresher and more well-groomed skin, small wrinkles will disappear, large ones will noticeably smooth out, freckles, dark circles under the eyes and capillaries visible through the skin will disappear.

You can find out all the current information about the procedure, what is the price of Aquashine, the procedure, indications and contraindications at the cosmetology clinic located in St. Petersburg.

Biorevitalization (revitalization) of the face - what is it?

The development of this method was a real breakthrough in the field of cosmetology. Already after the first session, dramatic changes for the better are noticeable. The essence of the procedure is the introduction of hyaluronic acid-based products into various areas of the dermis. In addition to it, the composition may also contain other biologically active components.

Carrying out

Injections can be performed using several (different) methods; the type is selected by the cosmetologist depending on the area and condition of the skin.

Papular technique

The drug is injected into the middle and superficial layers of the dermis. The needle is placed at an acute angle (about 15 degrees) and held with the cut facing upward. Small elevations form on the surface of the skin - papules, filled with the injected substance, which is gradually distributed in the surrounding tissues. When using products based on synthesized hyaluronic acid, the recovery process can take up to 3 days. When using the drug CURACEN - from 20 to 60 minutes. The consequences of such a cosmetic procedure are positive; biorevitalization is characterized by long-term preservation of the effect due to the slow resorption of the drug.

The average size of the tubercles is about 4 mm. In particularly delicate areas (around the eyes and lips), smaller papules are created, up to 2 mm in diameter.

Tubercular or micropapular technique

Injections are made with a 4 mm long needle at an angle of 45 degrees. Due to this, the active substances penetrate into the deepest layers of the dermis. Externally, the skin remains smooth, only traces of injections are visually visible.

Linear-retrograde technique

The essence of the technique is to introduce the composition with a long needle (up to 13 mm), which, after puncture, is carried parallel to the surface of the skin through the middle layers. On the reverse movement of the syringe, the active substance is injected.

By using this technique, specialists are able to reduce the number of injections, and the deep penetration of the needle additionally stimulates the regenerative processes of the skin. How long the effect of facial biorevitalization in this way will last largely depends on the skill of the cosmetologist, the individual characteristics of the patient and home care. On average, this period ranges from 6 months to 1 year.

Injection biorevitalization of the face

The technique can be divided into three stages. Before using it, you should definitely consult a specialist to exclude contraindications. For example, the technique cannot be used during pregnancy or in the presence of acute inflammatory diseases.

All stages take about 30-40 minutes, in some cases up to 1 hour. Moreover, most of the time (15-20 minutes) is spent waiting for the anesthetic to take effect. The injections themselves are performed in 10-15 minutes.

Preparation for the procedure

During the consultation process, cosmetologists conduct an external examination of the skin and interview the patient. Then the area of ​​influence, the optimal drug, and the method of its administration are selected. CURACEN has proven itself well - it is a multi-component product that has a complex restorative effect - reducing the rate of skin aging, preventing the appearance of wrinkles, preventing and treating pigmentation.

Progress of the procedure

Before visiting a specialist, you should avoid stress and alcohol consumption, and also not smoke a couple of hours before the session. Before biorevitalization and before injecting the substance, cosmetologists follow the following algorithm:

• Removing makeup from the client's face.
• Treat the skin with an antiseptic solution and mark the area where the composition is introduced.
• Application of local anesthetic.
• Injections of the drug are performed using Japanese NANONEEDLE needles. They make the procedure less painful and traumatic. This means that the rehabilitation period will go faster.

For women, it is advisable to carry out manipulations after the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. This is due to increased pain sensitivity and significant hormonal changes that are observed in most clients before this time.

Consolidate the result

After the end of the session, medicinal cosmetics with a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect are applied to the skin, and in the summer, cream with SPF. Next, the cosmetologist evaluates the patient’s condition and makes recommendations for further home care.
