What is the difference between biorevitalization and mesotherapy?

How biorevitalization differs from mesotherapy is a popular question. They are asked by people who are just starting to get acquainted with the huge range of services in injection cosmetology. These are similar procedures, but they have different indications and effects. It is important to understand how they differ and which technique is best for you. There are reviews and videos online about the procedures, their results, features, and costs. However, the key point when choosing is the opinion of the cosmetologist. Contact competent specialists who will be able to correctly assess the scope of work and select the most appropriate method in each specific case.

What is biorevitalization and mesotherapy?

Both procedures are injectable and involve the injection of drugs into the patient's skin through injections. The main difference is the substance that is used during the procedure.

During biorevitalization, preparations based on hyaluronic acid are used. Mesotherapy involves the introduction of a “cocktail”, which is selected individually for each patient. It consists of vitamins, microelements, amino acids and peptides. It may also contain hyaluronic acid, but in small quantities. Mesotherapy is aimed at solving specific problems of a person, taking into account the characteristics of his body.

Both procedures are prescribed to improve the condition of the skin not only of the face, the area around the eyes and mouth, but also for other parts of the body. For example, biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid helps eliminate aesthetic problems in the décolleté area and on the hands. Mesotherapy does an excellent job of rejuvenating the skin of the abdomen and thighs.

In addition, the procedures vary significantly in cost. Mesotherapy is more expensive, because the patient is administered a multicomponent drug. Also, the course of this procedure lasts longer.

Another difference is the purpose. Biorevitalization is a preventive procedure. It is also prescribed as a preparation for fractional laser rejuvenation. Mesotherapy helps solve serious problems: spider veins, deep expression wrinkles, acne, etc.

Bottom line

Mesotherapy and biorevitalization are popular aesthetic procedures, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed by many clinical trials. For middle-aged people, they return youthful skin, healthy color and youthful facial contours. In this case, injections are used as independent therapy.

But clients over 40 years old require “beauty injections” exclusively for comprehensive skin care. They help her recover after radical anti-aging procedures: plastic surgery, deep peeling, etc.

What are the advantages of biorevitalization and mesotherapy procedures?

The main advantages of biorevitalization are:

Effective work with visible age-related changes. The procedure is rarely prescribed before age 35. And after this age, the reserves of natural hyaluron in the skin are depleted, and biorevitalization helps to replenish them.
Duration of the result. The effect of biorevitalization lasts for several years.
Deep hydration at the cellular level. Biorevitalization delivers a sufficient amount of moisture to the dermis to restore regenerative processes and stimulate the production of new cells.
Minimal likelihood of side effects and allergic reactions. This is due to the fact that hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our skin tissue.

Mesotherapy, in turn, has a number of other advantages:

Effectively eliminate skin problems. The procedure is necessary for girls with serious rashes, the first manifestations of age-related changes.
Quick results. The effect of mesotherapy becomes noticeable just a few days after the procedure and lasts from 6 to 12 months.
Proven effect in the fight against cellulite. A properly selected meso-cocktail can cope with the hated “orange peel”.
Effective in the fight against scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, hair loss. Mesotherapy has a wide range of indications and can cope with various skin problems.

Composition of drugs for mesotherapy and borevitalization

The fundamental difference between these two procedures lies precisely in the composition of the drugs injected under the skin. Mesotherapy solves a wider range of problems than biorevitalization, which is why whole cocktails are used in its implementation. The mesotherapy solution may contain:

Dimethylethanolamine (DMAE);
L-carnitine;
Vitamins;
Plant and animal extracts (collagen, elastin);
Hyaluronic, pyruvic, glycolic acid;
Amino acids;
Embryoblasts;
Microelements;
Minerals.

The cocktail is selected based on the tasks facing the cosmetologist. If the goal is to prepare the skin for cosmetic surgery, the composition will be one, and if rejuvenation without subsequent surgical intervention will be different. Hair mesotherapy requires its own compositions, while getting rid of cellulite requires its own. The success of mesotherapy always depends on the individual characteristics of the body and the skill of the cosmetologist who knows how to choose the right components.

During biorevitalization, there is only one active component - hyaluronic acid in a concentration sufficient to initiate restoration of the skin structure. Native hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin in a gel-like state, which achieves an instant rejuvenating effect by smoothing out deep wrinkles.

Contraindications

Mesotherapy and biorevitalization are safe methods of skin healing. But in order to avoid the development of complications, there are certain contraindications for the procedures.

Pregnancy, lactation.
Fever.
Epilepsy.
Blood clotting disorders.
Hypertension stage II-III.
Herpetic infection.
Pustular skin lesions and inflammatory processes in the treatment area.
Predisposition to keloid scars.
Kidney and liver failure.
Tuberculosis.
Malignant neoplasms.
Individual intolerance.
Severe chronic diseases.
Autoimmune processes (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma).

Techniques for performing mesotherapy and biorevitalization

Classic injections are a method of implementation that ensures maximum effectiveness of the procedure and the longest-lasting effect of the drugs.
Nappage - maximum involvement of skin receptors and minimal trauma to the skin occurs, but there is a loss of injected drugs.
Retrograde injections - administration of the drug as the needle is withdrawn. Controlled destruction of wrinkles is carried out.
Infiltration is the introduction of drugs to a depth of more than 4 mm. Drugs enter the bloodstream faster. The technique is used to correct the oval of the face.
Papular, micropapular - the needle is inserted at an angle of 45 degrees, tubercles are formed for a period of one to four days. Characteristic for biorevitalization.
“Point by point” - microinjections are carried out along the lines of wrinkles and folds without gaps.
“Fan” - the drug is administered from one point.
“Grid” is a linear introduction using intersecting lines at an angle of 90 degrees.

The depth of punctures for mesotherapy is up to 3 mm, for biorevitalization - up to 6 mm.

What does the wrong combination of techniques lead to?

It is necessary to follow the course of treatment and allow intervals between sessions: biorevitalization after mesotherapy is prescribed no earlier than 2-3 months later.
Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains water, so its excessive introduction with a combination of techniques causes swelling of the face; the drug is quickly eliminated, as the production of hyaluronidase increases, which destroys hyaluronic acid, both injected and its own.
Cells are programmed for a specific number of divisions, so prescribing procedures without the necessary indications reduces the regenerative and resource potential of the skin.

Mesotherapy

This method involves the introduction of a mixture of drugs, so-called “beauty injections”:

vitamins;
microelements;
biologically active substances;
plant extracts;
hyaluronic acid.

That is, the main difference between mesotherapy and biorevitalization is that the injection uses components that improve blood circulation, tissue healing, collagen and elastin production, and also nourish the skin with essential vitamins.

Stages of implementation

Injection techniques are performed according to the rules, following certain stages.

Cleansing - thorough makeup removal or light peeling.
Disinfection - treating the skin with an antiseptic to prevent infection.
Anesthesia - local anesthetic cream is used under the film for 20-30 minutes.
Preparation of the drug - independent selection of substances (for mesotherapy) or the use of ready-made solutions.
Administration of the drug is the effect of the chosen technique.
Post-procedure treatment - products with regenerating and protective properties are applied.
The purpose of home care is products for cleansing, nutrition, moisturizing, protection.

Indications for biorevitalization

Decreased tone and elasticity of the skin of the face and hands.
Fading, dry, dehydrated skin of the face, neck, décolleté.
Prevention of premature aging.
Correction of age-related changes, reduction of the severity of wrinkles and creases.
Gray complexion, uneven skin.
Rehabilitation of the skin after plastic surgery and hardware techniques (after laser resurfacing, chemical peels).
Pronounced restoration of the skin before and after UV exposure.
To achieve a true lifting effect.

Alternative procedures

If there are severe contraindications to the procedure and fear of pain, alternative mesotherapy methods are possible that do not injure the skin and ensure no rehabilitation period:

Electroporation (aquaphoresis) is the penetration of active substances using low-frequency electrical pulses, which open aquaporin channels on the skin and increase the permeability of cell membranes.
Ionomesotherapy is the administration of drugs using galvanic current. The procedure is affordable, but the area of influence is limited by the size of the electrodes.
Phonophoresis is the introduction of substances using ultrasound.
Cryomesotherapy - active substances penetrate the skin under the influence of current and low temperature.
Laser therapy - a narrowly focused beam of light activates blood circulation and enhances the effect of the drugs used.

An alternative method of injection biorevitalization is to perform the procedure using a laser - the procedure is comfortable and painless due to the focused impact of a beam of light of a certain wavelength, but a full course of 8-10 procedures is required to achieve a pronounced effect.

Biorevitalization

Biorevitalization is considered a more physiological method of replenishing hyaluronate in the body. As a result of the procedure, metabolic processes are activated, regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin occurs.

Today, this technique is especially popular among the fair sex for eliminating wrinkles in the eyes, nose, lips and other areas of the face and body.

In addition, biorevitalization and mesotherapy are prescribed before contouring; for this, pure hyaluronic acid is introduced, which is the main active ingredient.

This substance is often used for dermatological diseases, since hyaluron is absolutely non-allergenic, dissolves quickly and immediately begins to act when it enters the body.

After biorevitalization, facial skin becomes young and renewed due to the restoration of its structure and deep hydration.

Biorevitalization is carried out in 2 ways, namely using a laser and injections. During the procedure, hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin is injected under the skin, since it remains in the soft tissues much longer and stimulates cell regeneration.

The price of biorevitalization depends on the following factors: the age of the woman, the cost of the drug used. The fact is that at 30, 40, 50 years old, the dosages will vary, as will the number of sessions.

As practice shows, this procedure is a safer method of rejuvenation, since complications after it appear in rare cases. And yet biorevitalization also has contraindications:

allergies to medications used during the procedure;
oncological diseases;
autoimmune diseases;
exacerbation of chronic pathologies.

redness of the skin in some areas;
edema.

Usually the above complications disappear within 1 week, in rare cases it takes a little longer.

Indications for mesotherapy

Decreased skin tone and elasticity.
Correction of facial oval.
Having a “double chin”;
Violation of skin texture (pigment spots of various origins, “sallow” complexion).
Prevention of premature skin aging in young people.
Oily skin, enlarged pores.
Skin moisture problems.
Correction of hair loss, rosacea, rosacea, acne as part of complex therapy.
Prevention of vascular changes in the skin, xanthelasma.
Reducing the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks.

Rules for client behavior after the procedure:

on the day of the mesotherapy session, any other cosmetic procedures are excluded
After the session, it is not recommended to apply creams and decorative cosmetics (including foundation) to the treated area for 24 hours
for the next 2-3 days after the session, you cannot visit the bathhouse or sauna, solarium, swimming pool, actively play sports and take a massage, sunbathe, or perform hair removal
During the entire course of mesotherapy, before going outside, it is recommended to use sunscreen with SPF of at least 30

Possible adverse reactions:

pain: depends on the drugs used in the cocktail and on the individual sensitivity of the client (passes on its own)
swelling and hyperemia (redness) at the injection sites may persist for 1-2 days
hematomas (bruises) can form in any area, but are most pronounced on the body and persist for 4-7 days

To reduce the manifestations of unwanted reactions, it is recommended to use creams or gels that have regenerating, anti-inflammatory, absorbable, antioxidant, moisturizing and protective properties, including components that strengthen the vascular wall (Vit. C, K, arnica, etc.).

For example: Traumeel S ointment or gel, Arnica compositum, Panthenol spray, Bepanten cream, etc.

You can visually eliminate the consequences of mesotherapy (minor hemorrhages, erythema) using medical camouflage - various makeup products on a medicinal basis.

If the duration of adverse reactions increases and/or symptoms not described above appear, immediately inform your doctor.

Mesotherapy or biorevitalization – which is better to choose (advice from cosmetologists)

The choice in favor of the first or second procedure must be based on how the final result appears.

If it is necessary to maintain the skin in order, as well as to saturate it with nutritional and moisturizing elements, preference should be given to mesotherapy. The anti-aging agent is introduced to a depth of about 6 mm, so that the necessary substances reach exactly the layer of the epidermis that is needed. This procedure can improve the condition of problematic skin with pigmentation and scars, as well as acne-prone skin.

Mesotherapy is an excellent technique that allows you to fight aging, reducing the severity of age-related signs.

Although it should be noted that you should not expect an instant effect from mesotherapy, since it does not appear immediately, but is cumulative.

If it is necessary to improve the condition of the skin, for example, at the age of 40, and the question arises of what is better: mesotherapy or biorevitalization, then the second option will be an excellent solution, since it helps the skin that fades with age to resume the production of elastin and collagen. In this case, the effect of the procedure is noticeable immediately after the procedure, but it lasts for a maximum of 10 months, because hyaluronic acid is injected to a depth of only 1 mm, no more. It should be remembered that biorevitalization is suitable only for those representatives of the fair sex who are over 30 years old.

If we talk about what is better after 50, biorevitalization or mesotherapy, then the second procedure can only partially restore the normal concentration of hyaluronic acid, but the result is unlikely to last long. But biorevitalization is quite capable of stopping the aging process of the skin, since it activates cell regeneration. That is why the drug is injected shallowly during this procedure. Thanks to injections, the appearance comes into order, and the result is noticeable immediately.

You can do mesotherapy after 18 years. It allows you to maintain the condition of young skin, which is constantly exposed to negative environmental influences. It is quite difficult to obtain the required amount of vitamins and microelements from food, and therefore they are delivered to the middle layer of the epidermis in the form of a gel, nourish it and thereby prevent the appearance of early wrinkles.

As for biorevitalization, it is prohibited to do it at a young age, since it can cause the body to stop independently producing hyaluronic acid (due to its supply from the outside). However, there are exceptions: dehydration of the cover, as well as its dryness.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, both procedures are prohibited. The fact is that at this time hormonal changes occur in the woman’s body, it becomes especially vulnerable, so the following complications may arise:

inflammatory process in the dermis if during the procedure an error was made when administering the drug;
severe allergies;
deep wrinkles that form due to the accumulation of large amounts of fluid.

In addition, if the specialist, when administering the drug, makes even the slightest mistake, this can lead to a blood clotting disorder, which will threaten the health and life of both the woman and the baby.
