There are many ways to restore youthful and healthy appearance to your skin. Some are more effective than others. One of the modern and effective methods is Restylane Vital biorevitalization. Biorevitalization refers to the introduction of hyaluronic acid into the skin, which helps to activate rejuvenation processes.
Features of the drug Restylane Vital and indications for use
This drug acts on the skin, creating a moisture reserve in the deep layers of the dermis. As a result, skin elasticity is restored, its density increases, cells are better nourished and function. If there is enough moisture, free radicals and metabolic products are removed faster.
There are a significant number of indications for the use of Restylane Vital. This is a lack of moisture in the skin, eliminating the effects of photoaging and excessive tanning. Numerous laser procedures and peels of varying depths can also damage the skin. Biorevitalization will help restore it.
Restylane Vital is effective for all skin types and ages . It can be used even at a young age, as a prevention of early aging when exposed to sunlight. Oily, problematic skin is also an indication for the biorevitalization procedure.
For biorevitalization of thin, sensitive facial skin, as well as for young skin, it is recommended to use Restylane Vital Light. A cosmetologist can also offer you Skin R biorevitalization as an alternative.
Restylane Vital provides a long-lasting cosmetic effect. It is due to the fact that after the hyaluronic acid is absorbed, the dermis does not return to its original state. It retains the same volume and ability to retain moisture in the required quantities.
This drug is administered in cycles of three or four procedures. The interval between them is one month, and the interval between cycles is six months.
Its use in cosmetology and plastic surgery
The drug Restylane is used not only in cosmetology, but also in plastic surgery. In general, injections can cope with:
- Deep and expression wrinkles in the forehead, eyebrows, mouth, eyes;
- Defects that arise after injury to the skin or acne;
- Facial asymmetry;
- Lethargy, dullness of the skin in the face and hands;
- Lack of tissue volume in the cheekbones, chin, lips.
This does not require any surgical intervention. Therefore, the procedure is a constant success.

Restylane fillers
The manufacturer of Restylane fillers is the Swedish company Q-med; since 2011, the company has been part of the Galderma concern. All fillers are made using patented NASHA technology, which means “stabilized hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin.”
The Restylane product line includes various hyaluronic acid fillers, differing in concentration, viscosity and purpose:
- Restylane is a base filler for minor cosmetic wrinkles and folds.
- Restylane Touch is a lightweight option designed to correct fine wrinkles and for people with thin skin
- Restylane Perlane is a gel of dense and viscous consistency used to eliminate deep defects, nasolabial and glabellar folds, as well as facial contouring.
- Restylane SubQ - a drug for modulating facial contours, correcting the shape of the cheekbones and chin
- Restylane Lipp – filler for lip augmentation and correction of their contour
- Restylane Vital (Restylane Skinbooster Vital) and Vital Light (Restylane Vital Light) - skin boosters for biorevitalization, injection price from 11 thousand rubles
- Lip Volume and Lip Refresh - a new generation of Restylane fillers to increase volume and reshape the contour of the lips, designed to take into account increased muscle activity
What is better to choose
Depends on the problem and choice of cosmetologist. Many specialists prefer Juvederm, as it is a monophasic drug.
Rarely causes swelling and lump formation. Others prefer Restylane because it has a more pronounced effect.
Cosmetologists also make a choice based on which area should be corrected.
Lips
As a lip filler, both drugs work well. At the same time, cosmetologists note that Restylane forms a clearer contour. And Juvederm allows you to create plump lips with a natural effect due to the plasticity of the gel and the ability to effectively accumulate moisture.
Nasolacrimal trough, area around the eyes
Juvederm is not recommended for use under the eyes as it may cause swelling or bluish spots. For this it is better to use Restylane.
Both drugs are injected into the nasal tears and give good results.
Cheeks
To fill this area, it is better to use Juvederm; it effectively tightens sagging cheeks and remains effective for up to one and a half years. But for modeling the oval of the face, chin and enhancing cheekbones, it is better to use Restylane SubQ.
Filling deep wrinkles
Both products are highly effective and have a long-lasting effect.
When comparing Restylane and Juvederm, it is difficult to say which is better. The main issue here is the choice of a cosmetologist. After all, only a highly qualified dermatocosmetologist will be able to correctly recognize the problem and choose the best option to eliminate it. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s Restylane or Juvederm. In experienced hands, any drug will work well and give the desired results for a long time.
How is the biorevitalization procedure performed?
Restylane Vital, based on hyaluronic acid, is injected into the upper layers of the skin. Its surface is first cleaned and, if necessary, anesthetized. The drug is injected into certain points using a thin needle, following the reinforcement technique. Typically, the affected areas are the oval of the face, wrinkles, nasolabial folds and other areas that require attention. At the end of the procedure, the Restylane injection sites are treated with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agents.
Over the next three days, the patient should self-massage the areas where Restylane Vital was injected. This is required to distribute the drug evenly and achieve greater effect.
Despite the apparent simplicity of the procedure, it must be carried out by an experienced specialist. He needs to determine the injection sites for the best result.
Let's create beautiful lips!
Most modern girls and women dream of plump, well-defined lips; it is fashionable, beautiful and feminine. Unfortunately, nature has not blessed everyone with such lips, but there is always a way out! Injection plastic surgery allows thousands of representatives of the fair sex to improve the shape of their lips, making them more voluminous, more pronounced, but at the same time completely natural.
Restylane has released three fillers for such correction, the most popular of which is Restylane Lip . The main active ingredient of this product, of course, is hyaluronic acid of artificial origin; it adapts perfectly to the human body and does not lead to allergies or rejection. The effect of using the filler lasts for six months, then it is gradually removed in full. An important nuance: if you are dissatisfied with the result obtained, you can visit a cosmetologist for a repeat operation to inject a drug that dissolves hyaluronic acid.
New developments from Restylane are products such as Restylane Lip Volume (increasing lip volume) and Restylane Lip Refresh (lip skin rejuvenation). The last of these drugs is a fundamentally new product. Its main tasks include:
- Restoring the hydrobalance of the area where the injections were introduced.
- Improved lip skin condition, reduced peeling, more natural and healthy color.
- Giving the lip contour a more pronounced outline.
Please note that after using this gel, your lips do not increase in volume, but simply look more well-groomed and rejuvenated. This solution has almost no analogues and is beginning to be in significant demand.
As for competitors, their niche product is Juvederm Ultra Smile . The main difference between this implant and its analogues is the presence of lidocaine in the composition; this component allows you to reduce the time for the procedure due to the absence of additional anesthesia and the easiest possible introduction of the gel into the mucous membrane. Additional advantages of the product include the fact that in addition to modeling shape and volume, it successfully eliminates nearby wrinkles in the mouth area.
Juvederm Ultra Smile will make your lips voluminous, beautiful and smooth out fine wrinkles around the mouth

In the first days, preparations with an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect should be applied to the skin. They are usually prescribed by a cosmetologist after the procedure is completed.
The skin must be protected from the sun for two weeks. To do this, use sunscreen with a protective factor of at least 30 SPF. You should not wear makeup or any cosmetic products for about three days.
In order for the results of biorevitalization to last, it is necessary to exclude some actions in the first two weeks. Peeling, temperature changes, physiotherapeutic procedures and some other effects on the skin surface should be avoided.

- Redness;
- Edema;
- Swelling.
To prevent these side effects from persisting for a long time, avoid solariums, saunas, swimming pools, cosmetics, and sunbathing in direct sunlight. Also, do not massage the treated area, so as not to reduce the resulting effect.

Reviews of the drug Restylane Vital
Marina, 42 I chose the procedure based on a combination of positive qualities and contraindications. Three sessions were held, with a one-month interval between each session. Positive changes became noticeable after the first use of Restylane Vital. The skin was evened out, the feeling of dryness disappeared, small wrinkles disappeared, and large ones became less noticeable. Pigmentation on the forehead has also decreased. I noticed only one drawback. For about a day there were small bumps at the injection sites. They go away the next day, but it is better not to schedule appointments immediately after the procedure.
Svetlana, 48 Wrinkles around the eyes make the face look older. My skin is prone to dryness and these crow's feet began to appear quite early. After consultations with a cosmetologist, Restylane Vital was chosen. The result was impressive. The procedure itself is not as painful as it might seem.
Tatyana, 54 I really liked the results of using Restylane Vital, but the process itself is quite painful. Before starting the injections, the doctor applies lidocaine cream to the skin. This local anesthesia softens the sensations, but does not eliminate them completely. Of course, it all depends on the individual characteristics of pain perception. The effectiveness of the drug helps you come to terms with it. I want to repeat the introduction of Restylane in six months.
Biorevitalization Restylane Vital helps to cope with many skin problems. It not only leads to rejuvenation, but also improves overall condition. The procedure is harmless and relatively simple. You must follow your doctor's advice to avoid complications and get maximum effect.
Differences between drugs
In the process of producing gels, specially developed (unique) technologies are used.
Juvederm is a single-phase (monophasic) filler. This means that it contains hyaluronic acid molecules of the same size. The gel is very plastic, distributes well under the skin and can be corrected under the skin after injection. Ideal for smoothing facial wrinkles and improving overall tone.
Restylane is a two-phase filler (biphasic). Its peculiarity is hyaluronic acid molecules of different sizes and a denser texture. Therefore, it effectively forms the required volumes, gives shape, preserving the result for a long time. Less plastic, less distributed under the skin and more likely to cause swelling.
Juvederm fillers form a kind of strong “framework” in the subcutaneous tissues. Restylane is well distributed in tissues, filling voids and establishing a strong relationship between epidermal cells and the gel.
Juvederm is represented by a more extensive line. But Restylane has as many as 3 drugs for improving lips.
Note! The Juvederm line includes a biorevitalizant that does not require course sessions. The patient gets the result the first time.
The effect of Juvederm lasts longer - up to 9 months on average. Restylane maintains guaranteed results for up to 6 months. Although this figure is indicative. After all, the lines of both brands contain drugs with prolonged action. And the gel itself is retained in tissues in different ways, depending on the individual characteristics of the body.
Patient reviews
What do patients say about the use of Restylane gels?
Veronica, 25 years old, wrote:
I used Restylane about three years ago for the first time. Since then I have been a regular client of this drug. I use Restylane Lipp. I do their lips. Before this I used another filler, I like Restylane much better. Thin lips bothered me for a long time, but now I have forgotten about this problem. Outwardly, it is impossible to guess that my lips are not my own. Even my parents admit that they no longer remember what kind of lips I had before. I am very pleased, I think I will not say goodbye to Restylane any time soon.
Anastasia, 36 years old, wrote:
When I decided to undergo a rejuvenation procedure, the cosmetologist advised me to prepare the skin. For some time I used the night serum from the line and the night cream. Surprisingly, small wrinkles disappeared without injections! The deeper ones were removed by the procedure itself. The swelling went away quite quickly after it, there were no other side effects. It's been almost a year since I had the procedure, but the results are still noticeable. I'm going for a maintenance procedure soon to prolong the effect. I will definitely do another procedure once the effect ends. I really like the result.
Evgeniya, 45 years old, wrote:
At my age, you won’t surprise anyone with nasolabial folds. I decided to fight them because my self-esteem fell as they deepened. A friend recommended Restylane. I didn’t even know that she was injecting herself with drugs, her face looks so natural. Therefore, after some thought, I finally decided, although my husband was against it, because the procedure is expensive. However, I insisted on my own. After the procedure, I couldn’t believe the mirror! The nasolabial folds disappeared and I saw a clean and smooth face. When my husband saw me, he was very happy. He said that I look younger and more beautiful. As soon as the swelling subsided, he called me to the theater for the first time in a long time. I feel desirable and attractive, I even have a sparkle in my eyes. Now I know that nasolabial folds will no longer ruin my appearance!
